Brianca 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

Isabella plastered a smile on her face as she met different people with Zander. She wasn't understanding why some eyes were making her uncomfortable.

  Men had lust in their eyes. Women were giving her envious looks. But the naive self of Isabella thought that she wasn't looking good.

  As Zander also didn't say her a word of praise. She wanted to cry. She put the blame on her hormones. Zander's hand on her waist was doing something to her. She was strangely feeling safe.

   Zander knew her nervousness. He wanted to just take her in his arms and hid her from the world. He knew every look people were giving her.

But one stern look from Zander King made them look away, afraid. He was placing kisses on her temple from time to time, showing the world that she belonged to him.

   Whenever, someone complimented her, she noticed Zander's glare that intimidated them. He himself didn't praise her and now he wasn't letting others to do it? She gave him an angry glance. It felt like Zander could read her thoughts. He chuckled at his naive wife.

   Enough was enough. She was hungry and tired now. She tugged on Zander's coat sleeve. He was busy talking to his business associates. She pinched his hand now. The softness of her body could never harm him. But he was astonished by his little wife.

  He looked towards his Isabella, surprised. She gulped the lump that formed in her throat. "Zander." She said meekly. He closed his eyes for some seconds. How badly, he wanted to kiss those plump lips. His name came out of her lips did magic to his body.

  He looked at her. "Yes."  He asked her. "I am hu-gry." She told him in a low voice. He cursed under his breath. How could he be so careless. His wife was pregnant.

   Excusing himself, he took her to the table. Dinner was organized there for them. The card in the table made Zander and Isabella both to smile. It stated.

  THE NEW COUPLE GOALS IN THE TOWN
    
               "MR & MRS ZANDER KING."

  Isabella wanted to eat everything. Zander saw her devouring food like he wanted to devour her at that moment.

  Someone called him, Zander told Isabella to wait for him. She didn't pay any attention, just bobbed her head. She was too busy in food.

  Quickly pecking her lips, he left. Isabella who was now sitting still with wide shocked eyes. Blush crept her face and neck. Smiling ,she again started to eat. She never thought Zander would show his this side in public.

  She was done eating, when a lady sat in front of her. Isabella startled. The lady looked somewhat familiar.

   "I hope you have recognised me."  The lady said with am evil grin. "I am sorry , I don't remember you." Isabella replied. Narrowing her eyes have tried to put pressure on her brain but failed.
"I am Brianca. I don't know what Zander see in you. So out of class. Trophy wife." The lady said in a venom filled voice. So she was the supermodel Brianca, Zander's ex. Tears formed in Isabella's on hearing her insult. Trophy wife? Was she saying the right thing.

"Of course, he love me and love can never be replaced nor can be ended. His family didn't want us to get married. You came between us like a Villian." Seeing Isabella's condition , Brianca continued. Isabella felt pathetic. Was she really this bad? She wiped her face.

"But don't worry......"  Brianca said. Isabella looked at her waiting to complete her sentence.
"Zander will never be yours."  She said with a smirk and went away. Isabella looked at her retiring back with a blurry vision. She wanted to yell at her. Nobody had ever said such harsh words to her. But why should she shout at her?

For the husband who had never loved her? She was again making false assumptions. She didn't know what to do. Sometimes, she blames her family who always pampered her too much that now she couldn't even speak for herself.

  On the way back to home, Zander observed her change of mood. He thought maybe, it was because she got tired. He thought to talk about his feelings tonight.  It he never got the chance.

Placing her head, on window, Isabella dozed off. The next thing she remembered was waking up in the bed in one of Zander's one shirt. Thinking that Zander changed her dress made her cheeks red.
