CHAPTER 022
ISADORA’S POV
After I was done combing my hair, I received a text. My heart leaped, hoping it was Adrian, but when I picked up my phone and checked the screen, I realized it was just from my friend, Jessica.
Ah, I mused, rolling my eyes as I scrolled through the message.
[Hey girl, I’m currently on my way to your place. Bringing along some fine wine to match the gist.]
Her message read, and only then did I recall that I had invited her over.
Swiftly, I typed my reply.
[Sure, I’ll be expecting you.]
Placing my phone down, I let out a small sigh and got up. The towel that had been secured around my chest slipped off, pooling at my feet as I made my way into my walk–in closet.
Rows of designer dresses greeted me, each one more expensive than the other. Running my fingers across the fabric, I mentally pieced together the look I wanted for today. It had to be something elegant yet effortless–something that screamed, I woke up looking this good.
After a moment of thought, I settled on a silk, champagne–colored blouse paired with a fitted black skirt that accentuated my curves. I took my time dressing, ensuring every detail was perfect.
Twenty minutes later, I was fully dressed, my makeup flawless, my hair sleek and cascading down my back. Just as I admired my reflection in the mirror, my maid
walked in, as timid as ever.
Pathetic.
“Madam, Ms. Jessica is here. I’ve come to inform you of her presence,” she said in a hushed tone. “She’s in the drawing room.”
I barely acknowledged her, offering only a slight nod before walking past her toward the drawing room.
The moment I stepped in, Jessica’s face lit up, and she jumped to her feet.
“You…you look wonderful!” she exclaimed, rushing over to hug me.
I allowed a small smile to grace my lips. “Thank you, Jess.”
Successfully unlocked!
She pulled away and grinned, holding up a bottle of expensive wine. “I brought the
wine as promised! Now it’s up to you to spill the juicy details.”
I chuckled as I took a seat, elegantly crossing my legs. “Oh, don’t worry. I have

something worth talking about today.”
Jessica’s eyes widened with curiosity as she sat beside me, placing the wine bottle on the table. “Well? Don’t keep me waiting!”
I leaned in slightly, lowering my voice as I delivered the news. “Adrian and I… finally had sex.”
Her reaction was exactly what I expected.
Jessica gasped dramatically, her jaw dropping as she stared at me like I had just told her the secret to immortality.
“Shut the front freaking door! You don’t mean it!”
I smirked smugly, biting back a proud smile. “Would I lie about something like this?”
For a moment, she remained silent, processing the information before suddenly squealing in excitement.
“This is huge! Oh my God! Tell me everything!” She scooted closer, practically bouncing on the seat. “Was he a beast in bed? Was he…” She leaned in, lowering her voice. “Big?”
A faint blush crept onto my cheeks as my mind replayed that night.
Adrian had been everything and more. He was passionate, dominating, and intoxicating. His touch had been firm yet gentle, his movements powerful yet controlled. He was unlike any man I had ever been with, and that alone made my attraction to him even stronger.
