Chapter 13: Layla

  Isabelle

  I followed Kaden as he lead me downstairs, he'd insisted to carry me but I declined his offer since I could walk but he still had his protective hold on my wrist. He really didn't plan on letting my hand go.

  Cassandra, Jason, and Carter had already gathered around the dining area and sat on their seats, Kaden made me sit beside him as he took his seat as well.

  "Good morning, Isabelle," Cassandra smiled at me, her eyes seemed to notice the small marks Kaden had left on me at the start of the morning but she didn't say anything about it.

  "Good morning," I smiled back.

  Jason was too busy stuffing food inside his mouth yet he greeted me good morning followed by Carter whose mouth was half full of food.

  "Well I heard that you both are a couple now, is that true Isabelle?" Cassandra smiled, her tone made me blush.

  "Umm...I-I..." I hesitated and felt the heat traveling to my cheeks.
