THE BILLIONAIRE'S SCOTTISH LOVER

Isabella

 ISABELLA          

Jordan’s POV

There was no way I was letting Anita go , not after what I went through to get her. So I gave her the best offer I knew my cousin wouldn’t even bid to, not even in the next life just for a nanny?

‘’Jordan’’ The old man breathed , rubbing his palms together ‘’Lets be realistic, shall we?’’

Not even you can chamge my mind father,?I knew he was trying to favor my cousin like he always did, but there was no way I was letting him this time.

‘’Like I said , let’s be realistic .’’He demanded and I had to let go knowing he definitely had something up his sleeves.

‘’So what now?’

‘’We put Anita to a test’’

‘’Tes?’’ Anita murmured turning pale .I know She was already weighing herself down by believing she wasn’t going to pass the test,.

The girl has serious inferiority complex issues.

‘’Yes dear, Just like y son said. What if Annabelle fires you? Turn the table round, Whats the probability Isabelle wont kick you out too?’’My dad said using my word against me.

‘’Zero , probably ‘’My cousin snorted and I had to hold myself really throwing him a apunch , a real hand punch on the face.

‘’So?’’ I retorted ‘’ I’m Anabelles father and I decide who to fire or not ……’’My cousin challenged.

‘’prior to her request ?’’I interjected .I was agitated with my cousins attitude and didn’t like it at all. Suddenly I saw a creepy smile on his face and knew I wasn’t done. If anything he was getting

started.

‘’Yes ,I admit that Claus but let’s be honest here, what have you done for Izzy?nothing. The only good thing you’ve ever done is tossing her overto your dad for safe kepping.’’

‘’I told you her name is Isabelle not Izzy ‘’I growled ,my fist ready to attck when Anita got in between us yelling.

‘’I don’t know what the hell is between you guys but if you two lads don’t calm dowm now,I’m leaving and never coming back.’’

Then she turned and faced me, poking me hard in the chest she said’’                                                            

And for the record ,I’m taking the f*****g test ,so take it or leave it,’’

I stared ,stunned at the anger and confidence she just displayed .Even though I was supposed to be angry at her for defiling and disobeying my order but I couldn’t help admiring how hot and cute she looked pulling off that anger stunt.Get a grip Claus.

‘’Whats the test?” Anita asked with a boost of confidence Ive never seen around her.I just pray she doesn’t come back broken when I sabelle wouldn’t spare her a look.

‘’Get I sabelle to come down for dinner’’My father announced and I froze but Anita’s countenance said different.

‘’Just that?’’Anita scoffed not knowing ther was no way she was going to survive that, my dad totally mauled her.

‘’Yes love’’He answered with the sweetest smile ever.

This is sick.

‘’So I get Isabelle down here , I get to be here nanny and if I fail?’’

‘’You go back to being Eden’s date for the night’’He dropped the bombshell that got Eden grinning like an ididot but anger boiling inside me.

It was obvious Anita was going to fail,Isabelle was no respetor of man or woman .She had vehemly denied my invitation for dinner not once or twice over the years so there was no assurance Anita was going to coe out successful.

‘’Deal .Where’s Isabelle’s room ?’’

Anita asked with a fake smile and I knew att the adrenaline bubbling in her veins must have exhausted,She was back from cloud nine .

Welcome back to reality I mocked mentally.I’ll take her’’Emily offered and my dad nodded in approval without noticing Eden murmuring by his side.

Anita walked alongside Emily as she took her up the plight of stairs before stopping at aroom at the far end of the passagewat . Anita read aloud the words written in bold italics to the amusement of Emily.

‘’Really?””She asked with a raised brow.

Emily chuck;led ‘’Welcome to thw world of Isabelle and for the record ,call her Izzy not Isabelle if you want to make a good first impression .’’

‘’Wow ,shse must be arelly good kid’’Anita murmured but Emily shook her head in disapproval.

‘’don’t use sarcasm Anita,She’s supresmart for a ten year old ‘’

‘’Fine ‘’Anita sighed ‘’Justr wish me goodluck.’’

‘’Goodluck plus I’ll hold a good biffitting burial incase you don’t make it out alive.’’

‘’Seriously?”

‘’Yeah and maybe write on your tombstone .’lo,behold the heroine who died trying to get Izzy down for dinner’how does that sound?”

‘’screw you’’She said before flashing Emiky a grateful smile.’’You should stp now , I’m not nervous anymore .Infact. I’m gonna get that brat down for dinner.’’

‘’Now that’s the spirit ‘’Emily encouraged enthusiastically before murmuring the final goodby and sealed it with a hug.

‘’I should go now’’

Anita said braking the hug.She smiled down at Emily , took a deep breath before going in.

Emily watched the door close at her face and bratherd out,She knew Izzy was not going to make it easy for Anita ,talking of which ,She doubted Anita was going to come out successful.

Everyone knew Izzy was stubborn , difficult to please and arrogant , all three negative attrebutes made communication with people difficult or rather impossible. Izzy’s a loner ,she wasn’t shy to admit it knowing it took three years for Izzy to trust her.

Once downstairs ,Emily gave me a look that I could easily decipher as-pray-for-a-miracle look.

Unfortunately ,I don’t believe in miracles bit in hardwork and results so I’ll take it that I’ve been defeated.

Hurray.

‘’I don’t know ,Anita’’Emily shrugged biting down on her lower lips.A habit she does when she knows something isn’t going to end successfully.

‘’don’t worry ,I know ‘’I replied and took a wine from a passing waiter and faced my dear cousin.

‘’Congartulations.You won””

‘’Oh,I don’t think so Anita.We should probably wait for the result’’he replied but I didn’t need a prophet to tell me he didn’t meant any of those words but still I didn’t let go.

‘’No cousin,I think we should probably toast to your victory’’O said nonchantly raising my glass of wine and noticed the smile on his face.

Proud dick

‘’Well ,if you say ‘’he agreed as we clicked our glasses together and sipped our wine with each of us keeping our thoughts to ourselves.

‘’You’ve won this round Eden’’I said once I was done with my wine

‘’Burt don’t think anout next’’I warned keeping my voice as low as possible ,staring him straight in the eyeto make my point.

Oh don’t worry’’he cooed’’I’ll hit it pretty hard with Anita.Who knows?By the end of the year ,you might have a baby niece in your arm’’

I lunged at him but I couldn’t carry out what I had in mind when my eyes met Tina’s .I groaned ,I couldn’t disgrace her.

‘’Just thank your lucky stars ‘’I growled holding the wine glass so tight I feared I might crush it.

‘’Nah’’Eden mocked I’’ve always being lucky,but you’re obviously not’’

Eden murmured directing me to someone with his gaze.

Lo,Maya stood infront of us,

Emptyhanded.

No Isabelle.

‘’Guess we have the result ready ‘’Eden said making way for anita to pass through I saw the look I expected on her face

‘’I teried to…..’’

‘’I knw ‘’I replied giving her a reassuring smile not wanting to show this was the worst moment of my life,losing Eden.

‘’I guess that leaves you then as my date’’Eden announced clearing his throat.

He reached out for Anita’s hand and just when he was about to plant a kiss on the front of her palm .we heard a loud gasp.

Turning ,I saw a smaller femle version of myself standing with a frown and her arms folded asking a waiter.’’And you call this a party without a fortune cookie?’’and a smile crept up my face.
