Ever since that last time—
After Isadora left, she didn’t hesitate for a second before pulling her investment from Seafarer Designs.
The company, already teetering on the brink, was now facing bankruptcy, short on both funds and projects.
Rowena clutched Isadora’s hands in a desperate plea.
“Isadora, you’ve poured your heart into Seafarer Designs too. I know you don’t want to see it go under. Can’t you help me just one more time? Just this once—I’m really out of options!”
Isadora coolly slid her hands free. “That’s your problem, not mine.”
No matter how much Rowena begged, Isadora remained unmoved.
For weeks now, it hadn’t mattered how many apology messages she sent to Isadora or Nanette—neither of them ever replied. It was as if she didn’t exist.
The more Rowena thought about it, the angrier she became, until finally she exploded.
“Isadora! Have you forgotten everything I did for you back in college? And now, just because I had one little chat with Victor, you’re going to treat me like this? You’re heartless! You talk about being a friend, but the first sign of trouble and you throw me to the wolves. Some friend you are—so damn fake!”
Isadora frowned, then actually let out a laugh. “I’m ungrateful? Really?”
“When things got tough at Seafarer Designs, I invested without a second thought. Every single project the company landed—I chased down myself. When Abbott tried blackmailing you with those photos, who went to get the evidence? Me. Honestly, you’re like the snake that bit the farmer who tried to save it.”
Rowena didn’t want to hear it. All she could think about was the money she needed. “I’ll ask you one last time—are you going to keep investing in Seafarer Designs, or not?”
Isadora’s reply was cold and final. “Do I look crazy to you? I’m not going to keep throwing money away.”
With that, Isadora turned and walked off, ignoring her completely.
Rowena’s jaw clenched and her eyes burned with fury, anger radiating off her in waves.

The readers' comments on the novel: Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)
It takes too long to get to the point. Too much unnecessary in between in all of these books. Too many extra characters, the authors lose the plot after a while....
