The Assassin’s Billionaire Bodyguard – Chapter 59
Isabella crawled between the sheets and groaned. Her back was killing her from walking the entire afternoon and early evening shopping with the girls. In the end, they’d had a group of six and Portia had even had time to have a cup of coffee at a quiet table at Isabella and Sabine’s favorite coffee place, with five women watching on of course.

Some of our greatest friends and allies are gay. Jesse told her she needed to shut her prejudiced homophobic mouth before she ended up with a busted face. She then turned her attentions to Portia and made some comments about Portia being her mother’s dirty little secret. Told her it was why she shipped her to another continent. Told Portia the only rea
