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
Rodrigo's POVThe dinner ended as I had expected; perfect. The only thing that felt off was the fact that Marcello was not at the dinner table which I only had Isabella and her friend Jennifer to blame. I couldn't do anything since my Grandmother was around and she was fond of the two women.Since my Grandmother was sleeping bag the house for the next couple of days, it meant that Isabella and I were going to be sharing the same room. I stood behind her as she tried to unzip her gown. "If you need help you can just say so""If I wanted your help, I think I would pretty much ask for it"She was always mean even when I want to be nice to her. She was not the sort of woman who would want anyone whom she didn't like anywhere close to her."You're really pushing it and you know that right?""Uh, I am so scared" She rolled her eyes and I just glared at her watching her as she struggled to get that cloth off her body. "You know you only have to ask right?" Leaning against the wall, I enjoy
Jennifer POVThe night was young and I was Young ever since Juan Carlos dropped me off at my house. He was really nice and gentle towards me but that wasn't just enough for me to let my guard down and let him into my house like he wanted. No matter how he saw it, there was nothing that would exist between us. I have already had something to do with Marcello and it was him that I wanted and not him. It was a good thing that he left before dinner and never returned. I was worried about him but didn't bother to call him up to check on him. He hurt me a lot and this might be the right time for me to get back at him for what he did to my brother. I turned and tossed around in bed hoping to fall asleep when the doorbell, I groaned and moved towards the door, my feet stomping on the ground as I reached the door and yanked it wide exposing Shawn holding some roses and a box of chocolates."Flowers for the most beautiful woman that I have ever set my eyes on""Shawn" I whispered as I ran int
Marcello's POVWhen Jennifer heard that familiar voice, she stiffened and glared at me. However, I couldn't care less about the eyes that she was throwing at me. She was the one who pushed me to my very limit and provoked me. That was something that I couldn't bear any longer. I ignored her at the party since Grandmother was there but she was gone now and I had to remind her that every word that I said to her the other day, I meant it.What I never expected though was for her to dance with Juan Carlos at the party, sit right next to him, and give out her contact to that man. That's insane and I can never forget that."She wants absolutely nothing from you""What are you doing here?" Jennifer asked. She was surprised to see me and I just rolled my eyes. She shouldn't be surprised at all since she was the one who pushed me to my very limit. How could she sit there and enjoy breakfast with him when I was dying to be with her and do all that to her."What is going on here?" Shawn was con
Jennifer's POVI was angered that Marcello had to play our private affair with Shawn. Ever since Shawn stormed out of the restaurant, I have tried calling him up but he hasn't picked up and has left multiple voice mails for him but he hasn't returned. I can't believe that our time together will end that way, Shawn doesn't deserve any of what I did to him. I had no intention of breaking up with him as well. Yesterday night when I pushed him away, I knew that it was a mistake, I shouldn't have pushed him away but I just couldn't see myself kissing another man who wasn't Marcello. I had no clue why I felt something so strong for this man. He had done nothing other than hurt me all the while we were together. I hate myself and my heart for feeling this way. What I want is to forget about that bastard as I lay on the bed about to fall asleep when I heard the entrance door open. My eyes widened, and I was certain that I had locked it, that was the first thing that I did as I got back hom
