Marcello’s povShe was jealous over nothing. but I understood her, any woman in her shoes would do the same, and if I had caught her with another man I would still be mad at her. But then, she was taking this too far.“Jennifer, you don't want to do this?”“Oh yes, I do, tell me, how many times did you do it with her?”“I don't know, I cannot remember but all you should know is that I never enjoyed it as much as I do when I do it with you”“Do you expect me to believe that?” Tears rolled down her cheek, but she quickly wiped out her eyes. “ If you did not enjoy it then why was she sitting on your Thighs, you were comfortable and did not look as though you wanted to push her away which makes me wonder what I am in your life? I was on my own when you came up to me, it was you who chased away the other men who were coming for me and now you want to turn around and cheat on me” I get the fact that she was angry but she was not making sense by implying that I wanted to cheat on her when I
Isabella’s pov I waited for him all night long but he wasn't coming. I had prepared everything and had even gotten a makeover from one of the housekeepers. She had taken me to a beauty spa and salon earlier for me to get a makeover, and put on one of those sexy nighties that Jennifer had gotten for me from the store. It was pretty. I looked very beautiful in them but then it was going to be pointless wearing all of this without having Rodrigo next to me. When it was almost midnight and he was not yet back, I grabbed my coat and gulped down a glass of wine before heading out there to look around for him and ask any of his men where he was. I wanted to call Marcello, but it was already too late to call both him and Juan Carlos and so, I decided to let it go and look for my husband to love me. When I walked down the stairs I heard noises coming from the living room. It seemed like there was some sparring between some people, and so I rushed over to realize the familiar voice that I was
Rodrigo’s povWhen I tried to chase after her, Carmen held my hand and I quickly pushed her away, not minding that she fell on the ground. She was a tramp for even daring to come here and a crazy woman at that. I had no idea where she must have brought this boy from, but right now all I wanted to do was chase after Isabella. I wanted to tell her how much I loved her tonight but this woman had to ruin it, I know she planned so much for this night, her makeup showed it all and when the maidservant had called that she wanted to go out with her, I had to give her a black card“I swear that if you hold me one more time, I will forget that you were once my lover and slit your throat right before this child that you claimed is mine” With that, I rushed up the stairs, running into the bedroom only to see Isabella sitting on a front of the vanity weeping bitterly. it broke my heart that I was the one who had caused her yet another pain, I've done so much to her, and she has suffered for so l
Rodrigo’s povI watched her as she covered her face with the sheets, my hand itching to go close to her and touch her but then I knew she was hurt by this Discovery so I turned around, walked out of the room and slowly shut the door so that I wouldn't get to stop her. This was all my fault. If only I had taken care of Carmen in the past then she would not have shown up here claiming to be the mother of a boy. I don't know where she had picked him up from. she was a crazy woman who was always up to mischief and so I won't be surprised if she has just picked up this little boy from the street promising to give her everything that he wanted if he only tagged along and played The Missing Son with her, she was capable of anything like that which is why I don't let her come close to me for any reason ever since we broke up. She was shameless to have come here, after what happened between us, I thought I would never get to see her ugly face ever again and she had disappeared from my life w
Isabella’s PovI lay in bed staring into space and wondering when it had gotten to all of this, but then when I realized there was a lot that was missing in my life, I had no other option than to stare at the reflection of myself through the mirror. I have become nothing more than a broken piece with no fitting. Rodrigo promised to confess his feelings to me when this woman showed up and ruined everything for me, now it is never going to happen and I will have to see her face everywhere in the house. I don't know how long I will be able to bear all of this, but all I know is that I needed to find somewhere in my heart to forgive him, he has not done anything wrong. if I had met him earlier perhaps he would not have even thought of sleeping with that woman. When a soft knot comes on the door, I do not bother to glance at the door because I know it must be one of the maidservants, they are probably coming around to call me to come and have breakfast as if I would ever want to be in
Isabella’s povWhen Jennifer had gone, I stared into space pondering over what she had said to me and I realized that she was right all along. I couldn't just stay in here hiding as though I was stealing something away from someone, but I was not going to fight over Rodrigo as well. If there was something that I would do, it was to get out of bed and look for other things to do. Perhaps I might even get to have a little chat with this woman, Carmen. I was hungry, I needed to find something to eat, and so I got out of bed and walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to fix myself some breakfast since I had rejected the pancakes that had been served to me earlier. As I got closer to the kitchen, the aroma of food wafted across the kitchen pushing me further to open the door and step in. I was surprised as I came in contact with Rodrigo, he had an apron tied around his neck and stood in front of the gas preparing what looked like breakfast.“ What are you doing there?” I had not eve
Marcello’s povLeaning closer, I tried to kiss her when she moved away from me, I had no clue what was wrong with her so I moved closer pushing her into my body, and attempted to kiss her again but then she quickly got out of bed and tossed the sheet aside. I had no clue what I had done again, and I apologized for what happened with Elizabeth in the office. she forgave me for it but now she was acting up as though I did something wrong to her when I knew that I didn't. I was disheartened and sad so I ran my hands through my hair and looked at her trying to figure out what was running through her mind as she paced around the room, a lot must have occupied her mind for her to be walking around I was scared if I should ask her about it or if I should just let her be, a side of me wanted to ask her yet another wanted to just let it go and just stare at her until she was ready to go to bed and then I will join her. Nevertheless, I don't like seeing her this way and cannot just turn a b
Marcello’s povI was surprised with the insults she was throwing at me, looking around I could not just find out what was happening. Have I done anything wrong? Was I missing something? so many things ran through my head at the moment, but then I knew I had to endure the anger that seeped through me as she threw those insults at me. She was the woman that I was in love with, and if she didn't get to insult me then who would? And besides I have had a lot to Stomach when it comes to the Valentino family. I wouldn't want to be so mean to the woman who I claim to be in love with, she must be doing all of this for a reason but for what? Does this have anything to do with the fact that Carmen showed up in Rodrigo’s house? Does it have to do with Isabella? I just couldn't wrap my fingers around it at the moment. as if she realized what she just said, she covered her mouth, disappointed at herself for what she just said to me and how she has treated me, it was unfair I was paying for someon
Rodrigo’s povI stared into space standing at her doorstep and contemplating if I should just knock or ring the bell and then I finally settled to ring a bell. It was just as I expected when I rang the Bell, Jada opened the door with a smile on her face, with how she smiled widely, I had a feeling she was expecting someone, perhaps, the boy who had been flirting with her. I have been watching them since I lodged in the hotel that was close by, but I decided to stay away just to give Isabella some time before finally coming over to pick up my portrait that she had taken from my study, which was just an excuse for me to see her as well and talk to her. Jennifer told me that she was still confused about this whole Carmen's situation and I had to tell her the truth so that she does not think that I cheated on her because I never did.“ Are you waiting for someone?”“ No one” She shook her head and stepped out of the way for me to get into the house.“ Jada, who is it?” That was Isabella’s
Isabella’s pov“Mother” my eyes crowded with tears as I stared at the woman who had given birth to me, I thought she was sick and wouldn’t be able to get back with us but looking at her right now standing with my father it seemed as though she was already healthy.“ Isabella” she whispered and that was when I realized that she was really alright and nothing was wrong with her and me, my feet moved gently and I quickly ran into her arms and embraced her tightly as though she would disappear if I let her go.“ What happened? How are you alright? the last time that I saw your picture it seemed as though you were never going to make it, and you will never be healed again”“ That young man provided the best doctors for me and I had to go abroad with your father” What young man was she talking about? I was confused. no one told me about this and all the while I would ask for Rodrigo, he would ask me if I wanted to talk to them but I would say no because it would be too much for me to bear.
Isabella’s povRodrigo allowed me to go on a trip to Jada and even though that should be the best time of my life it seems as though it wasn't. Jada was at the beach and I was in the house watching a show that I wasn't really interested in so I kept thinking about him all the time. Picking up his mobile that I had taken from the study, I ran my index finger on his face and smiled, if there was anything about Rodrigo it was the fact that he was the only man who was capable of making me happy, and despite everything that happened between him and carmen I was still very much in love with him even without me admitting it. When the door closed right behind me I realized that Jada was back home, I thought she was going to spend all day at the beach.“ You are back”“ And you have been staring into space again, you know if you miss him so much, all you have to do is just say it out loud and then I'll have him come over here and the both of you can make up then having you staring into space t
Rodrigo’s povIt was late, and by the time Marcello returned home, I had to head back into the room to go be with Isabella, I could not bear to leave her alone even for a moment. She moved out of the room but then I could not let her sleep alone so I slept with her in the same room. hearing footsteps approaching she could tell it was only me and did not bother to look up as I drew closer to the door, she sat on the vanity mirror staring at the reflection of herself.“ What are you thinking?”“ Don't bother me and just go to bed” She was saddened and was in a state of upheaval, I could see that.“How many times do you want me to apologize for what happened? I'm really sorry for everything and wish that I could go back in time, and then I would never have done that. you don't know how bad I feel that you have to be the one who is suffering. I love you, Isabella” She does not say a word and I know that she loves me as well, but then this was not even the right time to make such confessi
Marcello’s povRodrigo was sitting on the stool in the bar sipping his favorite drink when I walked up to him, he was not happy I could tell by how he stared into space. It has been days since Alejandro and his Cartel fell apart, and that woman Carmen was killed. Everything should be back to normal but then it seemed as though it was falling apart and Rodrigo’s marriage to Isabella was slowly crumbling down, I had no clue what to do, and when Jennifer tried to talk to Isabella they ended up arguing. she has not really been herself ever since the attack with Alejandro. he left her traumatized and she had been in shock for some days that she did not eat or talk, but the doctor visited her and Rodrigo made an appointment with the hospital, she needed help and so he gave it to her. but then she was mad at him for having let that woman kiss him and could never forgive him, she saw what she saw but we all know that Rodrigo will never do that to her, he was madly in love with her when she w
Isabella’s povI've never been so furious in my life like the way I am right now. This man wasn't a monster, he was a beast for even admitting that he loved blood.“ You are sick, I swear that something is wrong with you” I quickly kicked him attempting to get away when he grabbed me and ripped apart my shirt. my eyes widened and I was speechless for a moment, but then I knew that if I did not fight him he was going to end up forcing himself on me. He lashed his lips on my neck, kissing me while I struggled pushing, kicking, and scratching, trying to get him away from him, but he was so strong that he wouldn't budge. I wondered what monster was this, I was sure that he was going to leave marks on my fragile body, the wet kiss that he laid on my skin made me so disgusted that I almost puked, but then I knew that I needed to concentrate on him and not get carried away otherwise he will be able to live up to his dream and make me be disgusted with myself.If he ever has his way with me I
Isabella’s pov“No! Please don’t do this” I pleaded with him but then he did not listen and was more concerned about taking me against my will. I have always known right from the first time that I set my eyes on him that he was a monster and capable of anything, but I never expected that he would go this far to try and get to me.“ Open your legs” he ordered and I glared at him even though I was still pleading with him with my eyes.“ I can't”“ You can't or you won't”“ I can't and I won't” I was firm and that made him grab my jaw and squeezed it so hard that I felt the pain right in my head. So many times I whispered Rodrigo’s name in my head hoping that he would come to my aid and save me from the hands of this monster, otherwise I might fall and never be able to get back up again.“ I told you to be nice and I will treat you nicely but it seems as though you don't listen. If you do that to Rodrigo and he tolerates it, don't do it to me, I will Not tolerate such an attitude from y
Isabella’s povI was terrified when he threw me on the bed, but then I knew that I needed to get rid of this fear to focus, damn it was going to get his way with me and that would not be good.“ You got some nerve saying that to my face don't”“ You are the one who wanted to know so I had to tell you the honest truth, did you want me to lie to you? You said I should be honest and that was what I did, why are you making a big deal out of it?”“ I want you, I want to have you right now When he said those words I wished that someone could come in and put a bullet right through him so that he won't try anything stupid.“I already lost everything but I cannot lose you as well. That bastard Rodrigo fought back and now I will have to do to you what I've always wanted. I don't care if I lose everything as long as I have you, I'm okay with that. But what I cannot take is to see Rodrigo with you. The last time that I saw you two together, I almost wanted to kill him, but then it wasn't a close
Isabella’s povIt was the middle of the night when I heard voices coming from the hallway, I was terrified as I grabbed the white sheet and clutched it against my chest, I was so desperate for him to appear immediately and save me from this nightmare, but then my thought was quickly interrupted as the doors were just flung wide and Alejandro stepped into the room, he was Furious. the look in his eyes was frightening and at that moment I was frightened as I saw those darkened pupils. if it was anyone else who had walked into my room, I would have asked them what had happened, but a man like Alejandro was the least of my problems, I know it has something to do with the war he had going on with Rodrigo or the fact that his business must be failing since he was a drug lord in the city of Mexico.“ Do you want to smoke with me or perhaps drink with me?”“ I don't drink and I don't smoke” I was wondering why he was asking me such a silly question when he was aware that I don't engage in dri
