Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 15
Isabel faced Shane. They were too close, so close that only their breathing could be heard.
“Shane, don’t say that. You won’t die. I can’t kill you,” She said.
He chuckled softly, tucking some strands of her hair behind her ear. His fingers lingered on her skin.
“I meant what I said. You might kill me someday—”
She quickly placed her finger on his lips.
“Not another word, Shane. Stop it,” She whispered, her eyes wide.
Shane smiled, taking her hand gently in his. Then he lifted it and kissed the back of it. Isabel’s cheeks instantly turned red.
“I might be happy to die in your hands, little sin,”He said, his voice low and teasing.
“What!! I can never kill anyone!” Isabel shouted, flustered. She tried to walk away towards the huge standing mirror, but her legs couldn’t handle the high heels. She wobbled and almost fell, but Shane caught her quickly by the waist, pulling her back against him.
“You can’t even walk in heels?” Shane asked, raising his brow, amusement dancing in his eyes.
Isabel stood up straight, pushing him slightly.
“It’s my first time, Shane! I don’t want to stop wearing my nun attire. Besides, all these clothes are too expensive. I can’t afford it,” She said, looking down at the short, expensive mini skirt he bought for her.
Shane smirked, stepping closer again.
“I’m a gentleman, Isabel. I didn’t say you should stop wearing your nun attire. You can wear it to the church, but not to college. And who said anything about you paying for it?” He said.
“Shane—”
“But just know one thing, little sin,” Shane interrupted, his eyes dark and possessive as he stared into hers. “You’re still mine.”
Their eyes locked, and neither of them could look away.
Shane pulled her closer but wrapping his arm around her waist ,just when he was about to kiss her ,her phone ranged ,it was mother Ava.
“I can’t do this ,I’ll be late ,I need to go to the church.”Isabel gulped down.
“Fine.”Isabel grabbed her nun attire ,quickly got dressed in it and left Shane with a bunch of expensive cloths in the dressing room.
{Road to dominion life church }
Ava was walking with two small kids towards the church, their hands tucked tightly in hers. The afternoon sun was hot, dust rising from the road.
Suddenly a black luxury car swerved and almost hit them.
Ava didn’t think. She threw her body over the two children, shielding them with her arms.
“Jesus chirist!”
The car stopped an inch away. The kids were shaking and crying.
The chauffeur jumped out immediately, hands raised.
“Ma’am, I’m so sorry! I’m really, really sorry! Are the children okay?”He pleaded.
“Be careful!”Ava scolded, her chest heaving. “You almost killed these children! Watch where you’re driving!”
“I’m sorry, ma’am, please—”
“Get back in the car.”
A cold voice cut through.
A lady in her 40s stepped out from the back seat. She wore a sleek black dress, dark glasses, gorgeous but with a face like ice. Expensive perfume filled the air around her.
The chauffeur obeyed instantly and got back in.
Ava’s eyes widened as she looked at the woman. There was something familiar about her.
The woman looked Ava and the kids up and down with disgust.
“You poor people are so cheap, aren’t you?”Joan sneered. “You purposely ran in front of my car. So if you get hurt, you can get money from me. Right?”
Ava couldn’t believe what she heard.
“Huh? Let me tell you something, rich lady,”Ava fired back, her voice laced with anger. “I did not do this on purpose! These children could have died! And you look familiar.”
Joan chuckled and pushed her glasses up.
“Do you have the slightest idea who I am? I am the—”
Before she could finish, footsteps came running.
Isabel came running down the church path, her long black hair flying. “Mother Ava! What’s going on? What happened?”she asked, breathless.
“We are okay, dear. This lady almost hit us with her car,” Ava said, still staring at Joan.
Isabel turned to Joan, her fair face calm but firm.
“Ma’am, these are innocent poor kids. You can’t just do that. Even if it was a mistake, you have to apologize,” Isabel said softly.
Joan burst into a loud, mocking laugh.
“You poor people are all the same! So dramatic. Always playing victim.”
She opened her designer handbag, pulled out a bundle of cash, and threw it right at Isabel’s face. The notes fluttered and hit her cheek.
“Here. Have this and get lost.””
Silence.
Isabel didn’t pick up the money. She looked Joan straight in the eyes.
“You can keep your dirty money,” Isabel said quietly, but her voice was like steel. ”May the Lord have mercy on you.”
She took the children arms and turned to leave with mother Ava.
But Mother Ava kept looking back over her shoulder at Joan, her brow furrowed.
“Why does she look so familiar?” Ava whispered to herself.
Joan stood there, watching them leave, her smile slowly fading.
{ Girls dorm /Evening }
When Gwen opened the door and Isabel stepped in, her eyes widened. She saw all the expensive things Shane had gotten for her at the mall, scattered all over the room.
Gwen folded her arms under her chest, staring at Isabel.
“Gosh, Isabel, I’m jealous! Shane absolutely spoils you rotten. Knox doesn’t even know the meaning of the word romance,” Gwen pouted cutely, and Isabel laughed.
“Of course Shane didn’t spoil me. He just got them for me, that’s all,” Isabel muttered. Gwen pulled Isabel onto her bed.
“I think Shane likes you,” Gwen whispered.
“What are you saying, Gwen? Shane is a playboy. How can he be in love with me?” Isabel whispered back.
“Because all the other girls,he hasn’t gotten them a single thing. Not even Seraphina. And he also dealt with those bîtçhes today, don’t you remember? If not for him, you would have gotten expelled—”
“But he was the cause of this problem in the first place,” Isabel murmured. Gwen sighed.
“There’s a party at his place today. He invited us,” Gwen said, excitement buzzing in her veins.
“I am staying here, thanks,” Isabel said, and Gwen rolled her eyes.
“Yes, you are a nun, I get it. But Shane said you must be there. Okay, if not for Shane, please go for me,” Gwen pleaded, and Isabel sighed.
“Fine,” Isabel said with a small smile.
“Yeahhhhh!” Gwen screamed.
“But if I don’t feel comfortable, we leave. And I don’t take drinks, Especially liquor.” Isabel said, and Gwen smiled.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone touch a single hair on you.”
“Oh, you’re gonna love this!” Gwen screamed.
{Night / Shane penthouse }
The party looked lit as always. Neon lights flashed in every corner. The music was so loud it vibrated through the floorboards. The air smelled of liquor, smoke, and expensive perfume and cologne. It was chaotic in a fun way.
Shane stayed near the bar, one arm tucked into his pocket and the other holding a glass of liquor. He was effortlessly hot, dressed in all black ,black t-shirt, leather jacket, black jeans.
His eyes were glued to the door.
Zander noticed it and let out a chuckle. “Dude, you have been staring at the door for hours. Is everyone not here yet?”
“Yeah, dude, unless you are waiting for that nun, right?” Ice scoffed.“No way that nun will show up to a wild party like this.”
“Yeah, Shane, Ice is right,” Knox said, touching his shoulder.
Shane’s grip tightened. He crushed the glass in his hand, blood dripping down his palm. He was mad. He had told Isabel to come, but she broke her promise, and that made his chest ache.
Seraphina walked towards Shane with a slutty smile, dressed in a black mini skirt and a pink party top with knee high heels.
“Shane, you look tense. I know what to do to keep you company,” Seraphina leaned in, whispering in his ear.
“Yeah, Shane, forget that bîtçh ,you are only mine,” she thought.
Seraphina pulled Shane to a leather couch and made him sit. Just as she was about to sit on his lap.
The music seemed to fade away. Like time froze.
The door opened.
And Isabel stepped in.
The whole room stopped breathing.
She wore a black dress that reached her thighs, held together by delicate gold chain strips that crossed in front and behind. Her back was revealed, the dress hugging her figure perfectly, bringing out her curves. Her long black hair fell down her back, her fair face glowing under the neon lights. She looked like a goddess who had just walked out of a dream. All the guys were rock hard.
Everyone gasped.
A collective sharp inhale echoed through the room.
Seraphina stared at Isabel, her knuckles turning white.
“Well, I’ll be damned,” Ice muttered, his mouth open.
“She’s prettier than Seraphina,” Zander said and stared at Shane. “Mind if I talk to her, bro?”
Shane’s eyes were locked on her, his cat-like eyes wide, unblinking. His heart was pounding so loud he could hear it.
“Isn’t that the nun?”
“She looks so hot,”
“God, she looks like a supermodel,”
“Damn.”
Shane looked around ,he hates it when anyone stares at what’s his.
Isabel looked uncomfortable, but she tried to manage. Gwen smiled proudly beside her.
“Everyone is talking about you, baby girl,” Gwen screamed over the music.
Noah walked towards them, his eyes full of admiration.
“Isabel, oh my gawd, I didn’t know you liked partying, and may I say you look gorgeous,” Noah whispered, getting closer.
In a second, Shane was in between them.
“If you don’t want trouble, then step back or else I will cut your balls off.” Shane warned coldly, and Noah left instantly.
Shane turned to face Isabel and gently pulled her out of the crowd, his hand protectively on her waist.
“Oh my gawd, Isabel looks like a supermodel. Seraphina, what are you going to do? You almost had Shane and she just waltzed in ,Shane just frozed and forgot about you.” Freya said, and Seraphina’s face almost burst with anger.
She smirked evilly. “She shouldn’t have come here ,If she wants to be humiliated badly, she will be humiliated.”
******
Shane pulled Isabel to the terrace ,he removed his leather jacket and covered her body with it.
“Wear this and don’t remove it ,I don’t like anyone staring at what’s mine ,especially that Noah of a guy.”Shane said,his voice sounded harsh.
Shane stared at Isabel and swallowed hard.
“Is all this for me little sin.”Shane whispered.
“No Gwen told me to_”Shane pulled her closer and crashed his lips on hers ,her body gave in instantly ,kissing him back ,her hands on his chest and his hands wrapped posessively around her waist.
Their tongues and lips danced in sync ,The kiss deepen.
He broke the kiss ,kissing every inch of her neck ,giving a hickey there.
“Little sin ,You’re mine ,I just marked you.”
His lips went to her cleavage.
Tears sting in her eyes ,not from because she was doing the wrong thing but from pleasure.
Shane looked at her eyes ,their gaze locked.
Shane reached down ,taking her dress up but she stopped Shane and saw his bleeding hand.
“Shane, you’re bleeding,” Isabel’s eyes flew open wide. She had just noticed the blood dripping from his palm onto the floor.
“It’s nothing. I don’t feel pain,” He let out a bitter laugh, Isabel gently made him sit down on a chair and went to find the first aid box in his room.
She came back quickly and knelt in front of him, carefully dressing his wound. Her touch was soft and careful.
Shane just stared at her, his heart heart skipping beats the moment she touch’s him. He couldn’t look away. All he could think about was his mother. The same gentle hands. The same worried eyes.
“You remind me of my mom,” Shane whispered, his voice low and broken.
“Really?” Isabel asked, their eyes locking into each other. For a moment, the loud party outside didn’t exist. “Can I see her ?”
Shane gulped down hard, his jaw tightening.
“She’s dead.”
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t know—”
“It’s okay,” Shane cut her off, but not harshly. “You’re the second person that ever cared about me.”
Isabel’s heart melted. “What about your father?” she asked softly.
His whole expression changed instantly. The softness vanished, replaced by cold anger. He stood up abruptly.
“I don’t want to talk about him,” Shane said, his voice hard, and walked out, leaving Isabel behind.
