Martinez Fortune

Chapter 5

Isabella had no idea how she was going to escape this. In her former life, she travelled everywhere with Benjamin, but now that her eyes had opened and she desired Lucas Johnson's return, she desired to travel in a ta I, requiring Lucas to drive her everywhere.

She bit her lower lip a little too hard, causing it to hurt and turn red. She then turned around and smiled again, trying to hide her anger.

"It's not a good idea today, in my opinion."

"Not at all?"

With a frown, Ethan refused to let her leave without having Benjamin keep an eye on her and let him know where she went.

"I have to make sure you're not alone with that slime. What happens if he acts strangely and does you harm? I can't afford that, you know that."

Had Isabella not had the opportunity for a second chance, she would have fallen in love with his carefully tailored features.

"You are aware of my immense love for you. Anything bid tapping to you is unacceptable to me." Ethan approached her tenderly, petting her cheek, leaning in to kiss her, but Isabella stepped back to widen the distance between them and contrived a smile.

"You understand that I have to watch out for the scum. Presuming I'm powerless would be the best approach to win him over. He would be extremely careful and withhold stuff from me if I went all in."

Given that everyone was in the same boat as Ethan, Isabella thought her e-cuse was a touch cheesy, but that was all she could think about at the time.

Additionally, she thought that by concurring with him that Lucas was a jerk, he would think that she supported him.

Elanor grinned. He sensed that something wasn't right when Isabella refused his kiss, but after hearing what she had to say, he understood that she was only ready to get things started for him.

Hi, For the first time, you spoke anything sane.

"What?" ****** comment infuriated Isabella, but Ethan soon responded, "Just kidding, but I'm still disturbed." How are you going to go to work? It bothers me that you drive commercial automobiles. Do you like to drive by yourself? That would have been fine, but how else could she get Lucas to drop her off at her house so she could spend more time with him if she drove herself there?

"What do you know? Allow Benjamin to leave me. Ethan thought the proposal sounded wonderful, but she stated ironically, "He could come back later, and I will get the scum to drop me off while I get more information from him to bring him down."

"All right, but stay the night with me. We're already engaged," he said, taking her hand and kissing her on the back before pleadingly seeing her eyes. Though Isabella's insides burned with wrath, she forced herself to keep a composed exterior.

"It would be better if you opened the package on the wedding night, even though I know I miss you too." She tolerated the loathing that was rising within her due to their intimacy while speaking flirtatiously. With a spoilt child's pout, Ethan said, "I'm so excited, Isabella."

"Same here, but don't you think it's for the best?" His foolish smile was met with a tip-toe kiss on the cheek from Isabella.

Isabella peered in with wide eyes. Presuming to love her constantly while having s*x with another woman wouldn't it exhaust him?

She hastily withdrew and arrived at the door as the she-devil resounded from her behind. Olivia said, "Isabella, I bought this dress for you," as she spoke her way upstairs.

Before turning around, Isabella ground her teeth so firmly that it felt like powder in her mouth.

Her jaws ached from all the forced smiles she'd endured this morning. She gazed at the outfit, which was certainly stunning.

She had previously trusted Olivia due to deeds like this. She constantly acted as though Isabella was her only thought. Olivia purchased half of the dresses and the shoes that are in Isabella's wardrobe.

Olivia, that's a lovely dress, but I'm running late. I need to visit Lucas's office to complete a few tasks for Ethan."

Isabella saw the instantaneous shift in the pair's looks. She pushed her lips firmly together to contain the laugh that was trying to escape her lips. It would have been easy to see if she had been a little more accepting in her previous life.

I should drop you off so the scum may bring you later, Isabella. That reminds me. Isabella noticed that Ethan was speaking quickly since she had indicated that she was helping him and that he was impatient to let her go. "You are right, let's go, and Olivia, please get a shoe to match the dress for me," she added, fixing her gaze once again on Olivia.

I'll put it on tomorrow.

Olivia said, "Alright," grinning as she ran up the stairs.

Ethan jogged a little to catch up with Isabella and open the door for her as she turned around and her expression darkened.

A silent "i***t," Isabella mumbled to herself.

After dropping Isabella off at Johnson's Automobiles, Ethan gave her a quick peck on the cheeks and drove off.

Isabella entered the lift and entered the code to reach the highest floor, her pulse palpitating the entire way. It seemed like ages had passed since she last saw Lucas, but she was eager now.

"Mr. Johnson is busy, Isabella Martinez!" Samantha, Lucas's secretary, yelled as soon as Isabella exited the lift.
