Marcello's POV"What are you doing here, you fucker?""Language, you should mind what you say especially as the old lady is coming around here tonight""Shut your mouth and leave my room""I wouldn't be here if it wasn't serious""I don't care, I want nothing from you and owe you nothing, Just in case you don't know I hate you the most, and now, I detest you after what you did to Jennifer""You don't have to hate me, you know," I said, trying to soothe her heart. I already knew that she was going to hate me the most. She had a soft spot for Juan Carlos until he pointed his gun at her that day she held her gun at Rodrigo and me."Give me a reason why I shouldn't hate you, You are the one who made my family this way and put me through hell" She blamed me for everything but it wasn't just on me. "Don't blame me, You have to blame yourself for being too beautiful and not me alright"That was the truth, it was her beauty that caught Don's attention. When Don saw her portrait, he didn't bo
Rodrigo's POVWhen I saw Marcello dragging Jennifer away from the hall, I wanted to chase after them. However, the beautiful woman coming down the stairs caught everyone's attention, her gaze not parting from me. It felt as though she was calling out to me to be her escort and I wanted that as out, For the first time in a long while, I felt my heart skip. Many have always assumed that I had no heart and, to be honest, I thought as much as well until I watched her dance. That day changed everything for me. "Isabella" I mumbled under my breath when my eyes fell on some men ogling her. That made my blood boil, her black gown was beautiful and sexy but it revealed a little too much. As if sensing that someone was looking at them, one of the men looked my way. When his eyes locked together with me, his eyes widened and he tapped on his other two idiot friends. They wanted her, they wanted to take her to bed and that hurts."Those morons" anger seeped through me and I just wanted to take
Jennifer's POV"Let me go, let me go now" I finally yanked my hand out of his grip."You are really testing my patience" I don't know what his problem is. He was acting like a caveman man and I hated that. However, I enjoyed my time with him the other night and haven't been able to get him out of my mind ever since that night. He was really pushing it, I intend to have fun tonight, meet new people, and socialize. This might be a great opportunity for me before I head over to meet up with Shawn. I might spend the night over at his place since he was cooking."Get out of my way so that I can head inside""You heard her, get out of her way now!" That familiar caught my ear and I turned around only to see Juan Carlos standing behind him, his eyes bloodshot. I rolled my eyes, another one of them that I had to contend with. I don't know what was going on here, especially between the both of the
Marcello's POVWhen I heard that familiar voice behind us, my eyes widened but that couldn't stop me from throwing another punch at Juan Carlos, reminding him that I meant every word I had said that night. I am not ready to share anyone especially not Jennifer. She was almost breaking into tears as she looked at us. There were no emotions in my eyes as I liked Juan Carlos.However, as I looked at Jennifer, she was almost losing her mind. "I already told you that Jennifer is mine and I won't share her with anyone, especially not you""You are not good for her, she is mine!" He threw a blow at me attempting to throw another blow at me when I pulled at my gun and pointed it at him. Jennifer's eyes widened and she quickly jumped right inBetween us, the same time that Patricia ordered her men to hold us off. "Let me go" I barked at the man ready to blow his brains out if it wasn't for Jennifer who stood in the way. "What are you even doing?" Tears dropped on her cheeks. I could tell th
Isabella's POVRodrigo glared at me but before he could get a chance to act, he was distracted by some group of men who I assumed were part of his organization or a rival group. "Tell me what is wrong with him?" That was Jennifer, she was raging as she drew closer to me. With a single look in her eyes, I knew that there was something wrong with her. This was not her usual way, she wasn't one of those people who would want to stand and gulp down two glasses of champagne just to calm her nerves. "What is wrong with you?" I asked and took the glass away from her. When she attempted to grab another drink from the waiter, I quickly grabbed the drink. "Are you trying to get drunk?""I would rather get drunk and forget than do this right now" "Do what?" I was confused and for a moment, I thought that I should push aside the thought of having and find out what was wrong with her. Marcello was a bastard and probably wanted to get even for some reason I know nothing about. Though I couldn't
Isabella's POV"Why did you do this time around?""I called him a beast" I gulped down my drink. The intensity of the manner that he drew towards me would have frightened any other woman but for some reason which I couldn't fathom, I just wasn't frightened. We were in the middle of a party. His grandmother was present, and he wanted nothing more than to make a good impression. Rodrigo loved her and would not want her to think otherwise of him. That was the only weakness I have noticed so far. It meant that I could say a lot at this party and get away with it but then, after the party, I would have to pay for my sins, all of them. "Can I steal her for a moment?" That was all he said before wrapping his hands around my waist. I had a feeling he wanted to scold me for something I wasn't even sure about. However, his plans were cut short again as it was time for us to dance and so we had to make our way to the dance floor, leading the dance before every other person could join in.
Jennifer's POV"I will only dance with you because my dance partner could not even make a move and I would like to see what you brought to the table"That was flirty but I didn't mind, I wanted to forget about Marcello at the moment. He was someone that I wanted nothing more to do with. This feeling in my heart and chest was killing me but I just needed to control it else I would end up hurting myself. Marcello was not exactly your Mr. Safe and Secure."Thank you for this opportunity""You don't have to thank me, it is in fact Isabella that you will. I have to thank that one" That was the truth, if she hadn't given me a push, I would not have been able to accept his proposal at all. He held my hand, his palms soft and gentle as he led me to the dance floor. "You are beautiful Jennifer""Don't flirt with me, this is only friendly, you are handsome and charming but there is one fool that my heart so desperately wants" "Marcello is going to break your heart, he doesn't know how to lo
Marcello's POVI was mad at Jennifer for acting like I was nothing, she acted as if the moment that we shared meant nothing to her. How can she even do that to me? I was enraged that she was mad at him. The only way that I could get back at her was to make her jealous. I knew that if I got together with another woman at the party, she would notice me and stop dancing with Juan Carlos, not any of those men that she let touch her body at will.I should be the only one who gets to touch her, she was mine to possess and love as I want. How can't she accept that what I feel for her is real? What do Juan Carlos and Shawn have that I don't have? I was ready to give her the world if that would make her feel happy. However, I never expected that she would leave the party and not return till the guests were gone and it was time for us to have dinner. She wasn't the only one who was gone, even Juan Carlos hadn't returned. I confirmed from one of the men that they were together outside. That ma
