Chapter 179

Isabelle’s POV

I took a seat at my desk and buried my face in my hands. He was in love with someone else now. I wasn’t stupid, it’s been four years he was of course going to move on. He was an attractive man and an Alvanov, women probably were throwing themselves at him left and right.

Hell, I had even moved on myself. I had gotten into a couple of relationships since I left. One of them had been pretty serious actually. I ended up breaking it off with him as things just began to fizzle out. I couldn’t see myself marrying him and giving him the life he wanted.

Our moving on didn’t mean hearing Steel tell another woman that he loved her didn’t hurt me. Coming back here had opened me back up to the past I thought I put behind. My scars were open once again and I was feeling vulnerable.

“Are you okay?” A familiar voice asked.

“I’m fine,” I responded.

I was still a little irritated to find out he was in on this whole scheme to get me back here.
