" That room is yours . And the one beside it is mine." Leo said as he pointed at the room upstairs as soon as they entered Leo's apartment. They were standing in the middle of living room which was bigger than Isla entire cheap apartment. Isla stood there awkwardly as if she is invading someone else privacy.
Well, it is a penthouse and at this moment, Isla ain't even surprise by this expensive looking penthouse. His family is super rich and apartments like this is nothing for them.
" I'll will be out today, order any food from the contacts placed on the fridge or you could just cook anything." Leo said , his hands in his pocket not a bit uncomfortable in the presence of Isla, who was a total mess, Leo was calm and collected.
" That room is library, you can use it." He said as he pointed at the wooden door upstairs before turning towards Isla , his gaze cold. " Do whatever you want but do not interfere in my personal life. I don't like it." He said and walked closer to his wife, face inches apart. " Even though we are married, I am sure you are not anywhere near to acknowledge me as your husband and same thing goes with me." He said, his voice cold as ever with his gaze dark and dangerous. With that said, he turned around and left the young girl alone, standing in the living room.
Isla watched as Leo marched towards what she assumed was his room. She was uncomfortable in her own body, feeling awkward standing there with suitcase in her hands.
" Why are you still standing her?" Leo asked as he walked downstairs, dressed in white t-shirt and black pants, topped with a hooded jacket.
" Nothing." Isla replied as she looked away. Leo cocked his brow at her.
" Whatever." He said as he clicked his tongue." I am going out." And with that said, he jogged towards the main door , leaving Isla alone in this big penthouse.
Isla sighed a breathe she didn't knew she was holding as soon as Leo left . She placed the suitcase on the ground and turned around to study the apartment.
The penthouse was beautiful, aesthetically pleasing. The walls were painted white but all the furniture as well as the floor were either brown or black .
There are stairs leading up towards various rooms. There is a L-shaped black sofa in the middle of the living room.
This penthouse can hold 5 of Isla's apartment. Their world are completely different and Isla wasn't surprised with the words Leo spoke with her earlier.
She can't imagine them getting along with eachother. It was clear that Leo don't even want to be in the same room with Isla, and she could tell that feelings are mutual.
.........
Loud music and sweaty bodies , were filled in the club as Leo sat there on sofa ,away from the dance floor. An expensive drink in his hands and girls all around him. The blinking red lights were annoying Leo who already had a head ache with all the activities happened today.
But Leo wasn't in any mood to mess around. His mood was already sour from past few days and now that his 'wife ' is finally in the same roof as him, he feels suffocated.
" Hey! Remove that scowl from your face! Enjoy bro!" Gabe said as he eyed girls in front of him, though he is very much loyal to his wife, checking out girls is something no one can resist.
" I am married and that girl lives with me now! Can you believe it?" Leo shouted as he shoved a girl who was sitting on his lap. The girl scowled at him but left him alone nonetheless. Leo didn't seemed to be bothered, she was annoying like hell.
" No. I can't believe it. " Gabe said truthfully." And to be honest, the situation is kind of funny." He added with a light chuckle as he sipped his blue drink.
Leo rolled his eyes at his bestfriend, he is total useless when it comes to serious matters like this.
" How is she?" Gabe asked suddenly, his eyes fixed on Leo. Leo had his brows furrowed as if he was thinking really hard.
"Quiet?" The word came out more like a question. " She rarely talks , much to my annoyance. It feels as if I am talking to a statue and it irritates me." He said hurriedly.
" Woah woah! Calm down." Gabe said as he filled Leo's drink before speaking. " Be kind to her." He said and Leo looked at him as if he has grown some horns ." I mean, she is just 20 years old and is going through a lot. What if you are stereotyping her as some gold digger?" He added.
Leo rolled his eyes. " I don't know to be honest but I wish that she would be a gold digger so that I have a legit reason to divorce her." He smirk at his bestfriend's dumbfounded expression.
..........
On other hand, Isla was feeling lonely, the memories of her mother's creeping into her chest.
They say that loneliness can make things worst and that is what happening with Isla , as she laid awake in the bed. She didn't even had her dinner, she wasn't hungry even though she had hardly ate anything for past few days.
She never had to live alone before but after mother had died, she laid awake at night.
But this apartment was huge and sleep wasn't coming easily tonight. The silence was nerve-wracking and Isla had always been weak to dark night.
The thought that is pondering her is that will her life be like this from now on? Will she be all alone from now on?
Jennifer wanted her to live her life happily and for that Isla has to fight. Fight with all her might, getting out of her she'll to be a better version of herself.
It will need time for sure but she will fight nonetheless.
