Chapter 4

The hushed sounds of moaning and the creaking of springs oozed under the door and dug into Andrew like a rusty knife, deeper and deeper with every second that passed. He had already moved away from the door and sat on the couch, farther away as if that would mute the sounds. But they seemed to become even louder. Isabella was there, behind the door of the suite's bedroom, allowing somebody to touch her, to love her, to give her pleasure. And that somebody wasn't him. After some quick research with the photo he had secretly taken of the guy the first time Isabella brought him to a hotel suite, he had learned that not-him was an actor, who only acted in a community theatre. He was nobody important, yet he was there, in her bedroom and in her bed.

He swallowed, staring straight at the white door, glaring at it as if his gaze could burn though it. The urge to storm inside and to rip that fellow off her was overwhelming, choking him, showing him what a Neanderthal he was. She was not his, never his, and that knowledge cut into him so sharply. This moment, right now, showed him where he stood so clearly, just in case he still harboured any misconceptions. He was nothing, only the guy who had to stand by the door, forced to listen while another man had sex with the woman he loved. His jaw tensed. If he couldn't have her, he sure as hell wasn't going to listen to another man having her.

The next day, when Isabella was at her morning staff meting, he strode to the Thornton building and into Mr. Richard Thornton's office. Even though he didn't have an appointment, Isabella's father agreed to receive him.

As soon as he entered the large office and closed the door behind him, he said, “I'm sorry to bother you.”

“You're always welcome, Andrew.” Mr. Thornton pointed at the two black chairs set before the thick mahogany desk. “Sit.”

He sat.

“How can I help you?”

Andrew cleared his throat. There was no easy way to say this. “I would like to resign.”

Mr. Thornton set his hands on the desk and folded them. “Is this a joke? Did Ian put you up to this?”

“No, sir.”

“Are you certain? They are having a one of their rows.”

“I know. He already tried to annoy her by telling me very loudly that I'm wasting my potential as Isabella's attendant, while she was near by.”

“He's right, you're wasting your potential. You are an educated and capable man, who I would gladly put in charge of our security department, but Izzy insists on having you around, and since you haven’t minded it... until now. What happened?”

“I just feel that it's time for me to move on.”

“So suddenly?”

Andrew furrowed his eyebrows.

“Have you already told Izzy?”

“No, not yet.”

“She's not going to take this well.”

“I know.”

“She has always been such a sweet child. Even though she had so much energy, she was obedient and well-mannered, we never had to ask anything twice.
