••• Isabella’s POV ••• Goddess, my phone must be blowing up with calls and messages from Raiden. I have to get out of here. Fast. And that was one of the reasons I couldn’t tell Viper my name. I didn’t have the time. The other reason was that if I told him, he’d know I’m a woman. It didn’t even register to me to give him a fake male name, as all I could think about was to get out of there as fast as I could.

I couldn’t imagine how they’d react if they knew where I was now. “I’m sorry, but someone’s waiting for me,” I made an excuse and tried to leave. Well, it wasn’t really a make-up excuse. Vi
