The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1167

Since their last encounter, Isaac had seemingly vanished off the face of the earth.

Brittany even doubted if he was still in Craneville.

After waiting a few minutes for a response and getting none, she threw caution to the wind, ignoring the possibility her phone could be tapped, and dialed Isaac's number.

It took an eternity for him to pick up.

"Bri?"

Isaac's voice was raspier than usual, as if he hadn't had a good night's sleep in ages.

"Are you okay?" Brittany whispered, lowering her voice even more.

Isaac was far from okay, but he wouldn't admit it. He stood up, stepping away from the crowd into the solitude outside, fishing a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it up before taking a deep drag, "I'm hanging in there." "Did you call because you missed me?"

His tone was nonchalant, shrouded in a cloud of smoke.

Brittany paused, "Did you catch the news?"

"Yeah, I saw it." It had been a long time since Isaac turned to nicotine for solace, but right now, he needed it to stay sharp, "Worried about me?"

"Zakky, are you in trouble?"

Brittany countered.
