A Legacy Written Forever – Robert Bell novel Chapter 10

matching fifty thousand from my bosses. If I get second, I get twenty-five and third I’ll get ten. Either way, not bad for selling some houses, commercial buildings and plots of land. But I think

Jason Baxter will win this year. He just landed a multibillion-dollar client, and he bought twenty

acres and a farmhouse. I can’t hate the guy. He’s a good real estate agent, he is always in

competition with me though, and for some reason the guy hates my guts. He’s got a f*cking gorgeous wife. Don’t get me wrong, I am fully committed to Ava, but I can appreciate a beautiful

woman. She has a phenomenal body too, and she is probably one of the nicest women I’ve ever

met. I’ve bumped into her a couple of times in the past at networking events, but haven’t seen her much in the last five or six months I think. Jason used to bring her to every function, but lately I’ve

last two functions there were. He said she was the daughter

of the billionaire client and his new secretary. When I inquired about Isha, he said she was busy.

Speaking of, that’s her right there. That’s Isha Baxter.”

I looked at where he pointed and saw Paul Mongomery, an old friend of my father’s, looking down. at a woman, whose face was only in profile but the back of her was what drew me. That a*s of

hers had my mouth watering.

“Aaron, I know Paul Montgomery, that’s with her. I’ll meet you at our table,” I said, not taking my eyes off of the exquisite woman next to him.

I heard Aaron chuckle as I walked off.

“Paul!” I called out.

He and the woman Aaron said was Isha Baxter turned. I chanted the times table in my head, so I wouldn’t pop a f*cking hard on like a preteen boy at the site of the deep cleavage that was presented before me. I wanted to groan, because could feel myself becoming hard. Paul introduced us. I smiled, and her blush had me wanting to see how much redder I could make her become. We talked, and I could tell Paul knew I was having a hard time concentrating on him, because my eyes kept flitting back to Isha, even her name was beautiful.

When the lights dimmed, they turned to go to their table and I followed behind them, my eyes glued to her jiggling a*s.

I was pleased to see we’d all be sitting at the same table. I was less pleased with the man that was sitting beside her. He ignored her and I could tell it hurt her. I wanted to punch him in the face. If she was my woman, my sole focus would be her

When the nominees were called to the stage, I watched her. I heard someone forcefully clear their throat and my eyes shifted, to the woman that made the sound. She was an overly made-up blonde, she looked like every other young blonde. She was very forgettable. She smiled at me and batted her eyelashes, I just looked away from her and brought myself back to Isha. I heard the

blonde huff, but I didn’t care.

When they were about to announce the winner, I tore my eyes from her and looked at the stage. I was disappointed that Jason Baxter won, but Aaron didn’t look disappointed, he looked really happy, and I was happy for him.

The shock that went through me when that blonde threw herself into Jason’s arms rocked me. I slightly listened to Aaron as he whispered that he had found out that the woman was Madilyn Montgomery, Paul’s daughter. I was pissed for Isha I didn’t recognize Madilyn. She’s twelve years younger than I am and the last time she was in my presence I was twenty-two at the time, and it was a welcome home party for me that my parents threw, so I didn’t really pay attention to all the

little kids that were running around.

I looked at Paul and he was livid, good. Madilyn had kissed Jason in front of everyone. Isha turned to look at all of us and I could see the hurt in her eyes. I wanted to scoop her up and take her out

of there, but I had no right, she wasn’t mine.

I watched Jason hand an envelope to Isha and as Paul gripped Madilyns arm and took her away. She protested the whole time, then I saw Isha grab her clutch and follow Jason out of the ballroom. I told Aaron I was going to leave, and I congratulated him on his second place. His bosses and colleagues had already started to surround him. He nodded to me and I hurriedly

walked away.

I shamelessly eavesdropped on the one-sided conversation, and when Jason walked away like he had done a job well-done, I came up behind Isha. I was going to ask if she was okay, but she started to sway, so I wrapped my arms around her. She looked up at me, her eyes full of tears, and

she lost all color in her face.

“You’re extremely pale, we need to get you somewhere where you can lay down. Can I give you a

lift home?”

She said, “Home please,” and then she passed out. grabbed the clutch that she thrusted at me and the white envelope that was in her other hand fell to the ground. I knelt and picked it up and then lifted her into my arms. She was as light as a feather.

My vehicle was luckily close. I got her in the passenger seat of my silver Lincoln Navigator and buckled her in. I opened her clutch and took out her ID. Her home was about a half an hour away.

“Hang in there sweetheart, I’ll get you home.”
