Cyrus POV
I looked at her, she fell asleep. I remember the first time I saw her, it wasn't at her graduation party that I first saw her. It was when I was going to an important meeting and there she was standing with two little kids.
She seemed so happy and was dancing with those little kids, I felt something for the first time, but never got the chance to meet her.
After a month, I realised that my biggest rival Edwards held his second daughter's graduation party. No one knows anything about his second daughter, he never brought her to any business events or to an annual ball.
His first daughter Sara who attends every event with her father and mother is known by everyone, I never liked that lady, I feel irritated just seeing her face in events. There are many sex stories of her, in my eyes, she is a desperate bitch.
My private search team have sent me a photo of Edward's second daughter and the man she is going to marry. I have been searching for her everywhere but never in my dreams, I thought she would be the daughter of the man who is my biggest rival.
I tried to stop myself from going there, I couldn't stop myself and I ended up going to the party. I stopped my car in the parking lot, was in a dilemma whether I should go to the hall or go back to my penthouse.
That is when I saw her in the parking lot. She looked so beautiful in her dress, I lost myself watching her. But what made me furious was that she is going to marry that bastard Mick.
I was astounded when I saw the scene between the two sisters and Mick. I was sure surprised when I saw the pure dislike she has for Mick and her step-sister.
I know from a long back that Dave Edward had an affair before his first wife died, and that is how Sara was born. Then he remarried saying his second daughter needs a mother in her life. But the truth was his second wife was his affair and Sara is his real daughter. She is older than Isabelle but he made the world believe that Isabelle is older than Sara.
The first time she saw me I know she was attracted to me. The way her eyes roamed up and down checking me out. Her cheeks were red when I caught her checking me out.
When I told her I will drop her off she really took so much time in deciding whether to take my help or not. She has to take my help there isn't any option left for her.
She thought I'm not observing her when she took my flip-flops from the back seat and put them on. I tried my best not to laugh. She was hungry so we ended up in a luncheonette.
She ordered whatever she wanted to eat. I watched her... She is so cute whenever someone annoys her like the waitress who was trying to get my attention.
She asked me if I wanted to eat but I said no because I already ate. When she was done eating I drove her to her home.
She fell asleep, I gazed at her beautiful face for more than an hour, to be honest, she doesn't have a slim face. She has adorable cheeks making her look so cute and at the same time her dimples pop out whenever she talks which makes her even more beautiful.
I never showed any emotions or feelings on my face, but many things run in mind that I can't show in front of anyone.
I don't know why I asked her to come with me but I know for sure that if I didn't do anything she will be someone's in one month.
I'm taking her to my grandpa's town where we have our own private estate. I halted the car before taking out the blanket from the back seat and put it on her.
I have to drive the whole night to reach my grandparent's town. My grandpa and grandma both couldn't leave the estate and live in the city. They both stay there happily and of course, I made sure that there is proper security for them because they are the only family I have.
She doesn't know who I'm but I like it that way and it is better like that, I already informed my nonno and nonna that we are coming home, they are excited to see whom I'm bringing home. I have never brought anyone except Xavier.
My grandparents were always upset with my flings and one-night stands. They want me to tie down with one lady as Xavier married. The good thing is Xavier found a strong lady as his wife, I know Elora for two years now.
She is like my own sister, I'm very close to her. But the lady I like is going to be someones in a few days. I shrugged not wanting to feel any feelings for her knowing clearly we are not going to be together.

"Hey," She said waking up from her sleep.
"Morning."
"What time it is?"
"Five in the morning, you can sleep we still have two hours till we reach," I told her turning my head to look at her.
"No, I slept well. You were driving the whole night?"
I nodded my head."We will stop by for breakfast."
We fell into complete silence before she turned on the radio. There is a food court which I know.
When we reached the place, I opened the car door for her. "You sure they are open at this time?" She asked me looking up at me. She is really short and I like it.
"They are 24/7."
We need to walk for five minutes because it's all village so every cafe or diner here has gardens.
I looked at a group of men who stood there with their bikes, they seemed like they are on a road trip, but what caught my eye was they looking at Isabelle. I wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her close to me which caught their eyes.
The leader of the group understood, they smiled before turning around and talking with each other.
The old lady here remembers me when I opened the door because I always stop here whenever I visit nono and nonna.
I looked at Isabelle who is observing the diner, " It's so beautiful."
"Yeah, It is," I said, peering at her. She glanced at me and her cheeks became red. She thinks I called her beautiful and I meant her.
"Let's sit there." She says going to the corner booth where you can have a view of the outside.
I took the seat in front of her and waited for someone to come when someone came to take orders I looked up to see a middle-aged person.
"Good morning sir and ma'am." He greeted looking at me then at Isabelle.
He gave me a smile, "Usual?" He asked me knowing what I always order for.
"Yes, and make it two." He nodded his head before going away.
"You visit here regularly?" She directed the question with so much curiosity.
"No and yes, I don't come here regularly but they know me from long back."
"Ohh." She says before looking outside the window.
"They are Mc bikers, or you can call them riders. They are as a group, every year or for every six months they decide a destination and travel like a road trip." I explained to her knowing clearly that she wanted to know why there are 10 to 15 men with bikes.
"Interesting."
"They are cool with all black and with their bikes," she told looking outside.
I smirked knowing she has an interest in bikes. Our food came which is choco-chip pancakes and banana smoothie.
When we are done with the food, we again hit the road. It took exactly 45 minutes before the estate high compound wall came into view.
"Where are we?" Isabelle asked.
"You will see."
The gates opened automatically knowing my car, the guards saluted before I drove the car.
I still need to drive a kilometre before we reach the mansion, as it is a mansion we have a huge personal forest area.
"You really have a huge garden for sure." She half-joked.
I smiled thinking about how she is going to react when she sees the whole place here. When we reached the front driveway, I stopped the car, one of the old worker James already was standing there waiting for us. I got out, Isabelle did the same.
"Hello James, how are you doing?"
"All good sir and I'm sure ma'am gonna be so much happy seeing you here." He said referring to Nonna.
I didn't tell them yet that I'm gonna stay here for a few days. They just know that we gonna visit them but they don't know that I'm coming here this soon.
"James, she is Isabelle and Isabelle he is James." I introduced them.
"Good to meet you,'' James replied taking Isabelle's hand in his for a polite shake.
"Nice to meet you," Isabelle said shanking his hand giving him her pleasant smile.
I guided her to the front door, "Cyrus where are we? whom are we gonna meet?" She asked me tugging on my sleeve.
I opened the door "We are at my grandparent's place" I told her and walked inside but stopped once I noticed she is not walking.
I turned around to see her standing there like a statue with her mouth hung open.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"No."
She walked to where I stood, "Cyrus I look like shit and your grandparents gonna meet me like this?!" She hissed at me in horror.
"As if I care and they don't care about how you look."
She was about to say something but stopped when we heard a voice.
"Pablo, look who is here!" My nonna yelled happily rushing to me and hugging me tightly.
I wrapped my arms around her and keeping my chin on her head because my nonna is short.
"I missed you, Cyrus, I can't believe you are here. We thought you forgot us." She rambled I know she is crying now.
"I missed you too love but I was busy," I replied hugging her tight because I missed her so much.
"You are always busy and this old lady misses you much."
"That's why we gonna stay with you and nonno for a month," I informed her.
She pulled away giving me a confused look, I turned around to show her an awkward Isabelle who stood there looking at us.
"Hello," Isabelle said. Nonna went to where Isabelle stood and gave her a hug.
"Sorry dear, I didn't see you," Nonna said patting Isabelle's cheek.
"Cyrus, who is this beautiful lady?" Nonna asked me making Isabelle blush.
"My boy, how have you been?" Nonno asked when he saw me giving me a hug.
"I'm good, old man," I replied making him slap my shoulder playfully.
"I'm Pablo and this is my wife Elizabeth," Nonno said giving Isabelle a hug.
"Isabelle sir."
"So, what a beauty is doing with my douche bag of grandson?" Nonno asked making Nonna slap his chest, while I glared at him. He smirked knowing clearly that I was pissed.
I went near Isabelle and wrapped my arm around her waist, "Nonna and nonno she is my girlfriend," I said making nonna cheer up and I felt Isabelle going stiff in my hold. She tugged on my shirt making me look at her.
I looked down, "What the heck? I'm not your girlfriend." She whispered.
I bend down to her level, "If you want to enjoy and do something unusual then agree to whatever I said." I whispered back. I smirked knowing clearly I have a huge effect on her. I heard her muttering jerk under her breath.
"I can't believe my Cyrus is having a real girlfriend and I'm happy," Nonna whispered hugging Nonno.
"Nonna we are tired we will rest for some time." I took Isabelle's hand in mine.
"Okay, but come back for lunch," Nonna says smiling at Isabelle and me.
"No funny business when you are alone not that we are complaining about having grandkids running in the home." Nonno joked. Isabelle's cheeks were bright red.
"Come on," I said feeling so tired. We wandered to the first floor where my old room is, I turned the lights as Isabelle studied the room.
"Where is my room?" I turned to her lazily as she looked at me with her doe eyes.
"No we both gonna sleep in one room."
"What? Are you crazy? I can't share a room with you!"
"Why? Don't you trust yourself when I'm with you?" I smirked when her nose turned red and a pissed-off expression crossed her face.
"No mister," she said stomping her foot before going inside the bathroom. As she took the bathroom I went into the guest bathroom.
