The Arrogant CEO

Chapter 34: Letting Go

The noise of birds chirping outside woke Isabella up. She groaned and tried to move to get out of bed but failed as she felt an arm resting on her waist. What she and Seth did last night came to her mind instantly and she blushed while covering herself with the sheets. She tried moving his arm but his grip just tightened.

"Seth" Isabella said in a low voice "Seth, wake up!"  He groaned and tightened his arm around her waist

"Oh how I would love to wake up every day to this" He said while staring at her 

"Stop being so cheesy, now get up I have to use the bathroom" Isabella said, clearly blushing at his previous statement

"No, I'm enjoying the view" He said biting his lip while glancing her now uncovered body. She quickly pulled up the sheets till her neck "Pervert" Saying this, she wrapped the sheets around herself and went in the bathroom not even galncing towards Seth as he was um naked.

Isabella was preparing the breakfast when Seth entered the kitchen and broke the silence "I've been wanting to talk to you about something since last night"

"Sure, ask away" Isabella said while placing the breakfast on the dining table

"I saw your scars, the one on your neck and the other one on your belly. I didn't believe you when you told me that you fell down the stairs, now tell me honestly what happened" Seth said and Isabella froze.

"Umm, let's talk it over breakfast" Isabella said, she was ready to tell him everything. After watching him opening up to her last night, she felt that she could trust him with her past too.

"I was twelve when my mom died. We were a happy family when she was still alive. You know, going out every Sundays and all but everything changed when mom died. Dad was devastated of course he would be, it's not easy to lose someone you love and for me, my whole world shattered at that moment when I heard that mom wasn't among us anymore. Nothing was normal after that, Dad used to came home drunk and late and he used to b-beat me, he intended to do that to Megan too who was only 7 that time, but I protected her as she was my baby sister. He didn't beat my often, he used to blame me for mom's death and I used to believe it, apologizing to him every time he blamed me" Isabella finished with tears in her eyes, thinking how everything would've been if her mother was with her at the moment

"That bastard, how did he even dare to lay a hand on you! You're not the one to be blamed, it isn't your fault and your dad, he's messed up in the head" Seth said angrily

"He visited us, apologizing for what he did to me, to us and begging to take him back into our lives but Megan wouldn't even let him say a single word, she despises him" Isabella continued "I'm thinking of going to his place with Megan and clear things up with him"

Seth didn't look pleased with the idea of Isabella geetting near that man ever again. He wouldn't ever want to leave the love of his life with the man who abused her in the past.

"No, you're not going to see him"  Seth said

"But why?" Isabella asked

"I won't let that man get near you ever again" He said in an angry tone

"Look Seth, I know you're concerned but I have to clear things up with him, I need answers from him. I can't keep avoiding his presence everytime he comes near me. This is going to be the first and last time and I won't talk to him ever again if things don't go right, okay?" Isabella said assuring him

"As you wish" Seth said, clearly pissed as he took the empty dishes into the kitchen.

"Seth, listen to me!" Isabella exclaimed as she followed him into the kitchen "Seth!" but he paid no attention to her and started washing the dishes
