Title: Isabella 168As I sat in the living room, the weight of the recent revelations hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over everything. My mind raced with questions, doubts, and fears, each one more suffocating than the last. Damien's tense silence only added to the palpable tension in the room, and I struggled to find the words to break through the suffocating silence.I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in the pit of my stomach ever since Emilio's unexpected visit. The revelation about the Founder's Association and its sinister agenda had sent shockwaves through my world, shattering the fragile illusion of safety I had clung to for so long. The realization that Damien and I were entangled in a web of deception and danger, with no clear way out, filled me with a sense of dread, unlike anything I had ever experienced before.As I sat there, lost in my thoughts, I couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration and anger towards Emilio for dragging us into this

Damien 169.I left her alone to sleep as I got ready for work. After Emilio's impromptu visit to our home, things had gone sour again. I did everything carefully and quietly so as not to wake her up. Isabella had been through enough and I did not want her to see me moody because it would only give her cause to worry.Besides, there was a baby on the way which meant that she was in a very delicate position and anything that could induce stress could prove very fatal. The secret security details that I established for her safety was still fully in effect. No one knew about it, not even Jackson.By the time I was done, I had on a Tom Ford fitted custom made suit with matching office shoes. After everything I heard, I was no longer interested in pretending that everything was good. Since Renaissance wanted my wife dead and possibly me too, I was no longer interested in playing games.I made my way to the garage and got into my car. I ignited the engine and backed

Damien As Camilla entered my office, I felt a mixture of relief and annoyance. She had a knack for interrupting at the most inconvenient times, but her presence also meant a break from the emotionally charged conversation with Natalia."Sorry to interrupt, Damien, but we have an urgent matter to discuss," Camilla said, her expression serious."Come back later, we are in the middle of a discussion," Natalia said arrogantly."Actually, we are done with what we were talking about, what do you need?" I said.Natalia whipped her head around to look at me. It was as if she could not believe that I could choose Camilla over her.Taking the cue, Camilla walked in and took a seat beside Natalia. It was not like I trusted her, in fact she was my number one enemy because of her immediate threat to my wife.Natalia refused to leave and I knew that another round of drama was imminent. She said nothing but glared at Camilla and occasionally, at me."What is it?" I asked, hoping it wasn't another c

Isabella It saddened me that Damien did not wake me up before he left. I guessed that after yesterday's battle of words with my father, he did not have the mind to be around me for now. He was still feeling awkward after his sudden show of emotions."I am so sorry you had to see that," He had said after we had locked lips and groped each other for over thirty minutes.I had laughed at his apology. I caressed his face. His handsome chiseled face."You are only human, Damien," I had told him as I ran a hand through his soft hair. Emilio's visit had rocked our world and it was not in a good way.I had a quick bath and brushed my teeth. I did not bother to blow dry my air but I rubbed it thoroughly with a towel. I put on blue jeans, a soft white shirt, and a cream-colored woolen jacket.I wondered what I was going to have for breakfast but there was no appetite so I opted for coffee instead. The maids had not yet arrived. I walked into the kitchen and found the coffee machine half filled

Damien I sat alone at the bar, nursing a glass of whiskey as I waited for Emilio to arrive. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel my muscles coiling with anticipation. Meeting with Isabella's father was never an easy task, especially considering our tumultuous history.I had left home angry after I had spoken to Isabella about her father's unwanted visit. It had been an ugly conversation with my wife. I had not even sat down before the questions began to fly everywhere."What are you hiding from me, Damien?" Isabella demanded angrily. I knew that her father had triggered her with his visit. It was about time we had our face-to-face conversation."What did he tell you this time?" I asked wearily. "Why is he so interested in our lives, Isabella, why do you always let him in?" I asked angrily."I can not believe you, Damien," She replied hurt. "You do not want to tell me," She added in a pain-filled voice. It killed me inside to see her look at me that way. I had vividly seen

Isabella I hated that I loved him. That was why it was too devastating for me any time we had our quarrel. Although, Emilio had not really said what exactly my husband did but his demeanor had revealed that it must have been bad.I wish that I had not confronted him but it was too late. We had both said hurtful things to each other and he had angrily left. If there was one thing Damien hated most, it was fighting with me. He had called it exhausting when we had our first fight.I could not stand the fact that an estranged father knew more about my own husband that me. What Damien failed to realize was that keeping me in the dark only made me doubt his commitment no matter how good of a husband he turned out to be.It was clear now what I want to do. A long no bullshit conversation with Emilio and who he really was. I had mirrored Damien's suspicious feeling about Emilio's mysterious knowledge of Renaissance's bloody and illegal history. Despite the fact that he was open about his wil

Damien It was certain that Emilio was hiding something. He had sounded so sure of himself when we had our confrontation at the bar. He was really pissed that his daughter was married to me. I knew if there was a chance for him to invalidate out marriage, he would take it.The problem with Isabella's father was that I could not decide if he was friend or foe. He claimed to care about his daughter's safety but then he began to do the exact opposite thing that would actually protect her.I paid for my tab and called Natalia. It was time we had that talk. It was time we really needed to come to terms about what the hell was going between us. I was no longer going to tolerate her interference into my life and marriage.I had no intention of meeting her in a place like this so I decided that the most suitable place for our discussion was in a diner with good coffee."Let us meet at that fast food place, opposite the office," I told her."Give me thirty minutes," Natalia replied over the ph

I had almost feared for my life because I believed that she was going to get physical with me.Natalia was not the kind of person anyone could say no to and that was why she was finding it hard to let go of Damien. I had not actually met her in person but her family were famous in the city as business moguls and elite.However, delving deep into the family dynamics, they just all took advantage of Damien when he was living with them as a child.
