This concept of friends with benefits was always beyond her understanding. But seeing the live evidence of it was just gross.

She can't simply go with him to this party. He'll surely harass her like he always does. She needs to find an excuse and that too, soon. "I-I c-can't go with you b-because m-my father w-won't let me out at night." She tried to excuse herself softly.

His eyes narrowed and his face became cold. He got closer to her and hissed slowly. "Oh, we'll see about that!" Just as his words ended her phone started ringing loudly, indicating her alarm. It kinda startled both of them. She embarrassingly took out her phone and turned it off. Blade saw her keypad phone and he frowned.

Why is she using an ancient phone? He thought but before he could speak to her more, she used his distracting posture and swiftly walked fast, away from there.

A smirk appeared on his face. He'll be enjoying tonight way too much.

Isabelle was so nervous without her fake beard and moustache that she thought everyone could comprehend she's a girl. She was cleaning the last floor as her last work, when someone's shoulder bumped into her from the side. She was about to give that person a piece of her mind but stopped seeing Jacob. He was looking at her with a shocked face.

She immediately lowered her face, not wanting him to know but it was already too late. His fingers went under her chin as he made her look up at him and when she hesitantly looked up she was shocked to see him smiling at her. He removed her glasses instantly and she gasped.

"I already knew you were a girl, when you used to speak in that girly voice of yours but now I'm damn sure about it!" Jacob muttered all the while looking at her.

Isabelle looked at him with a pale face but when his thumb grazed the side of her lips. Blade's warning of staying away from Jacob ran in her mind and she took a step away from him.

"I-I- p-please." Her voice was shaky and Jacob smiled at the girl. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone only in one condition." Jacob spoke calmly.

Isabelle paled, her mind was telling her that he's going to say something ridiculous just like Blade but Jacob proved her wrong.

"Just tell me your name?" Jacob mused seeing the ashen face of hers getting all the colours back.

"Isabelle." She told him softly and a smile appeared on his already smiling face as he handed back her glasses. She took them and immediately placed them on her face.

"You're beautiful Isabelle." Jacob complimented making blush to tint her cheeks as she shyly said a meek thank you. She immediately turned and left not before hearing his chuckle.

'Gosh he was so nice!'

Isabelle thought in her mind as she completed her work and was now walking at the footpath towards the bus stop. A sleek black car came beside her, honking was heard, she slowly looked at the car only to find Blade with jaw clenched looking at her. As their eyes met, he indicated to her to get in the car.

Her pace fastened on its own and her face became pale. No way in the world she'll go with him. He'll probably kill her in the car and throw her body on a deserted road.

Blade saw her moving faster and next second he was out of the car and hot on her tail. Isabelle turned to see where he reached only to shriek in horror as he clasped her arm in a tight grip and started moving towards his posh Audi. "No! Let go!" She screamed, earning attention as she tried to pry his grip off of her.

An elderly man came to her rescue and stood in front of Blade. "Where are you taking this lady? Young man?" The man asked sternly.

Blade clenched his jaw and then gave that man a pearly heart melting smile. "This is my fiancé sir. She is angry because she didn't like my gift as it's a gold bracelet and she wanted a diamond ring instead, for our engagement anniversary." Blade completed his lie smoothly.

Isabelle stared at him stunned. She wished she shouldn't have removed her cap and let her hair loose, now she looks like a girl. If she would've looked like a boy. He won't dare to say such a thing.

"I understand you man. Women and their wishes." That elderly man mused and patted on Blade's shoulder before walking away. "No, sir. He's lying." As Blade pulled her away.

Isabelle was stunned to even grasp the situation when she found herself in his car and he shut the door harshly making her come out of her trance. And when she grasped the situation it was already too late. He turned the engine on and roared the car to life.

He sped on the road and Isabelle was feeling her heart in her throat. "W-where are you taking me?" She asked, a little scared.

"At my place!" Was his curt reply and she stopped for a millisecond.

"What? W-Why? P-please let me go home." She pleaded with tears at the brim of her eyes.

"Oh! I'm taking you home but it's mine!" He spoke slowly, making her lips tremble. She looked at the trees passing by and before she could even touch the door knob, he hissed out. "Don't even think about it!"

Her heart dropped into the pit of her stomach. Ava and Axel would be home any minute. They'll be tensed not finding her back from work. She took out her phone and immediately texted Emma to be at her place with Ava and Axel cause she's going to be late. As soon as the message was sent, her phone was snatched from her hand and he read the message.

"Smart girl!" He taunted and next thing he placed that phone in his pocket.

"You won't be needing it, while you're with me." He spoke coldly, making her gulp.
