"Show me your phone, Belle." His voice thick and demanding as all the blood drained out of her system.

"I...I... didn't bring my phone with me." She lied with little stuttering but tried to keep all calm and composed.

Blade let out a deep breath as he threw his head back on the headrest and closed his eyes shut.

Her eyes instinctively landed on his veiny arm and hand that was on her seat's headrest.

"Belle... Belle... Belle..." He took her name in a sing a song manner and in that deep voice which caused her heart to stutter in trepidation.

"I never gave you your phone back." His tone was curt and his words caused her heart to drop into the pit of her stomach.

Her trembling hand tried to open the door again but it didn't open. She was panicking now.

Blade opened his eyes and his gray orbs pierced into her soul. Without giving her even any time to react, he grabbed her clutch and opened it, taking out her new phone he easily turned it on as there was no passcode on it and the recording was still on.

A deep throaty chuckle left his sinful lips that caused her insides to clench in pure trepidation. He shook his head in a negative way as he continued to laugh like a maniac.

Isabelle was trembling like a leaf now. She was so damn scared. Blade ever so easily turned off the recording and deleted that specific recording file and her heart broke into tiny little pieces as he placed her phone back in her clutch and placed it on her lap.

"It was of no use, Belle. You should've known that by now." He said so calmly as if he was telling her weather forecast.

"O...open the lock." She said with mustered up courage as tears burned the back of her eyes but she didn't want to break down in front of him.

"But you're forgetting something." He was so calm and relaxed as if he didn't just find her trying to expose him to the world. His words were clear but she could only think of the worst punishment coming her way.

"N...no I'm not." She spoke immediately giving him a confused and scared look to which he chuckled throatily. "Aren't you forgetting our first date kiss?" He mused, making her eyes widen as she breathed in deeply.

"I need to go." She spoke almost inaudibly but he heard it. "Either we can sit here in the car all night or you can simply kiss me and go." He mused smirking, making her bite her cheek.

In no way she was going to stay with him all night in this car, so he would change his mind and punish her for pulling that stunt on him. Lord knows what he'll do, if his lust took over.

"Okay." She mumbled softly and faced him. He knew at that instance what she was going to do. She was going to fucking kiss him for the very first time.

She slowly got closer and her lower lip was trembling. He also got closer for better access and the girl softly placed her hand on his jaw and she in seconds moved forward to kiss his cheek but he was faster. He was expecting this, so he immediately turned his face so that her lips would land on his.

She gasped and before she moved away his hand went in her hair and he pulled her closer deepening the kiss. In shock her mouth got opened as she gasped and he entered his tongue inside her mouth and started devouring her mouth like a crazy hungry wolf on heat.

She was unable to breath, his mouth was demanding and needy that she had to respond which came out on its own and her response got a growl from his chest.

She started kissing him back for only a second before her eyes widened and she came back into reality, she pushed him away, which only lasted for a second. Both took in a large gulp of breath and the next second he slammed his lips on hers again.

The kiss was passionate, demanding and claiming.

She was out of breath as she punched at his shoulder and he got the message as he let go of her mouth with a slight bite to her lower lip. Both panting heavily.

Isabelle didn't wait for a single second as she ran out of the car and Blade sat there dumbfounded cause she pressed the unlock button while kissing him. "You little vixen." Blade muttered under his breath smiling like an idiot.

Isabelle didn't once look back and went inside the building. She breathed in deeply and composed herself before unlocking the door and entering her house. Emma was sleeping on the couch and she quietly checked on her siblings, who were also sleeping soundly in their rooms. She had told Emma to come to her place with Ava and Axel if she got late.

She went to the restroom and looked at her flustered form. Her heart was still beating fast and this shouldn't have happened. She touched her swollen lips and she can still feel his lips on hers. The changing feelings in her weren't good. How could she kiss him back but she only did that to unlock the door but then again how could she lose control. She shouldn't be feeling like this. It will get her nowhere. After shower she changed into comfy clothes, placed a mattress for herself on the floor and went to sleep.

She felt like crying because her plan flopped. But she coaxed herself to stay strong.

In the morning she decided to go to university but this time not as a male janitor but as a female one. She can't live with Blade being threatening her all the time with that picture. She'll herself tell the authorities that she's a girl and her reasons for working as a male janitor as well.

She sent her siblings to school and then went to university. She made a ponytail out of her hair and wore her janitor cap to cover half of her face. She didn't wait for anyone nor did she look at anyone and went straight to the office.

She knocked once before hearing a faint come in. She went inside and ma'am was shocked to see a girl in janitor's uniform and when Isabelle slowly looked up, the principal's eyes widened and manager Gareth was also sitting there. His eyes also widened when he recognised those emerald eyes.

Principal without a word motions at Isabelle to sit on the chair which she did and by the look on their faces Isabelle knows she has to start speaking now. And she told them everything including from her father's death to need of money and her ending here as a male janitor. She cut the part of Blade completely.

What she got from them was totally unexpected. Principal stood up from her seat and came to Isabelle to give her a hug and manager Gareth gave her a loving and appreciating smile.

They didn't fire her as she expected. Instead they let her have her job and they simply removed the rule of janitor being male only.

Isabelle was the happiest as she went to the janitor's room. Finally Blade can't blackmail her at all. She can fight him now.

Jacob was stunned to see Isabelle in her girl physic and open hair in a ponytail. His mouth was wide open and he stared at her shocked. "Surprise." Isabelle mumbled in her girly voice, making him more shocked.

"Someone will see you!" He blurted immediately, closing the door making her chuckle.

"I've talked to authorities and they solved this issue. Now I can work as a girl janitor." She informed happily , making him smile at her faintly as his eyes looked her up and down, which made her really uncomfortable.

"I know what blade did to you." He said calmly and his words felt like a dagger slitting her throat.

Her mouth felt dry as she spoke. "H...how did you-?"

"It's not important." He muttered, cutting her in with a dark look in his eyes.

Did Blade tell him? But they both weren't on good terms.

"I know him, he will not leave you alone. I like you Isabelle, let's get married." Jacob spoke motionlessly, making her eyes widen in shock.

"W-What?" She stuttered, not understanding and he gave her a weird smile.

She didn't expect him to know this all and what was he even sprouting?

"Let's get married. In this way he'll back off and will not come after you. I only want to help you." He said calmly but it didn't sit well with her. Which type of help was this?

"No Jacob, thank you but I'll handle my problems on my own." She stated sternly.

It would be stupid of her to tangle herself in a loveless marriage just to get away from an obsessive, crazy man.

Jacob sounded absurd!
