Isabella's POV"What are you doing?" Jennifer asked as she leaned against the door looking at me as I tried to get my bag from the wardrobe. Rodrigo had the men put it up for some reason that I know nothing about.He probably wanted to punish me for something that I knew nothing about."Jennifer," I exhaled. At least Marcello kept to the end of the deal and I revealed that little detail to him. I really had no clue what her favorite food was for breakfast, I just had to assemble a lot before jumping to the conclusion that perhaps she was just like me, another girl of simple manners whose favorite breakfast would be nothing more than some pancakes. "Isabella" she was glowing and I had to say, she looked different from what she was the last time that I saw her. "You look different""How?""I don't know, you look as if you just had a bath in one of those rivers"She laughed and took out her car keys. "Is Rodrigo gone?""Yes, I was there when he left with Marcello and another man""
Rodrigo's POVWhen I returned home I had forgotten some documents that I needed to take over some operations that the Russians were performing at the Border. I was surprised that when I got back home, Isabella was nowhere to be found. I searched for her all through the house but didn't see any sign of her."Where is she?" I asked the second guard who was in charge of watching over her."The last time that I saw her, she was in her bedroom as usual" "How come she is not there?" I barked and before he could get the chance to speak, I fired a shot at him and glareHe groaned, screaming in pain. How can he ever say that? I was enraged and was this close to shooting him right in his head. I pulled him by the hair and was almost about to shoot at him when my eyes fell on that familiar figure as she made her way into the house.Anger seeped through me as I locked eyes with that beautiful yet poisonous woman who was strangely driving me nuts."Where are you coming from?" "Rodrigo" she whisp
Jennifer's POVEven though I had a good time with Marcello the other day, I just couldn't stop myself from thinking about Shawn. He was a good friend and the only one who always had my back in dark times. When no one at work had any clue what I was passing through, it was just Shawn's. Though, Shawn and I were not working in the same company. After I had left Isabella outside the restaurant, I had to drive down to work. I couldn't miss another day since I had a lot of meetings and pending issues to attend to. My boss trusted me so much to handle all of the clients' requests successfully without complaint ant, that was why I was given two days' leave.However, as I got back to work, I just haven't been able to get anything done. I just couldn't stop my mind from having to think about him. It wasn't Shawn though who had made it impossible for me to get anything done, it was Marcello. I was worried about my friend since he stormed out of the restaurant angrily. That was the only man wh
Marcelo's POVHer blatant stare didn't waver from me as she remained speechless, choosing not to lower her gaze at me. "What are you doing? You have to say something" I reminded her. I wanted this woman, I don't know when it started how fast it was moving, all I knew was that I desired to be in her arms and have her around me all the time. I might have destroyed what she felt that she had with Shawn but I didn't regret any of my actions. When I want something, I go for it and I won't let anyone take it from me."Just…" Before she could complete her words, the door opened and Juan Carlos barged into the room with Harry Chapin after him trying to stop him. He came with those ridiculous roses that he sent the other day. I was really fed up with him and his ways, I already warned him to stare clearly but he seemed not to be getting it at all and that made me really mad. I hated it when someone looked at what was mine.Jennifer rolled her eyes, she was not in the mood for this. "Why are y
Marcello's POVRight at that very moment, I felt my heart stop, there was nothing that I felt except pain, anger, and anguish resting in my heart as my eyes darkened. How dare Jennifer take me for a fool?. Who was that man she was smiling so shamelessly at? She pushed me away just so she could have a good time with Another man. She was out of her mind if she thought that I would let her be with another man. I made her a promise in the afternoon when I had no clue that she was going to set off and be with another man"Stop the car!" I ordered and the man quickly stepped on the brakes. When he saw the look in my eyes, he didn't bother to ask me what was happening to me? My driver Dave knew better than to keep his mouth shut and mind his own business. Dave was not part of us, he was just hired to drive me around for the rest of his life till he was able to repay the debt that he owed Rodrigo. I would have sold homes to the Russians when they came but he was very smart so I decided to k
Isabella's POVI was staring into space this whole time after Rodrigo tied me under the hot sun. I was wounded. Every inch of me was burning up, nothing could be used to describe what I felt inside me. I was dying slowly and the only thing that could make me forget was Maxwell. I needed to see him, to hold him, and for him to kiss me. I was lost in thoughts when the door opened and the last Man that I hoped to see entered the room."I heard you refused to eat"I didn't bother replying to him. It was of no use trying to talk to him, not after what he said to me. This man was nothing but a beast. I wish that I had never met him or accepted any of the proposals. Perhaps, I wish that I had decided to work as a whore for one of his clubs. "You should have something to eat, you need your strength for what is to come" he was now taking slow steps towards me, something that almost made me roll my eyes. "You will fall sick if you continue to go hungry and I wouldn't want that, you know" I
Isabella's POVRodrigo and his men have gone to close a deal with some Russian and couldn't make it back to the city. When I overheard his phone as I pretended to sleep that night, I was glad that he fell for my little trick and picked up the call. I couldn't quite get what they were talking about since most of the conversation was spoken In Russia. The only thing that I cared about was that he was going to leave the house the next day and I will get a chance to go and meet up with Maxwell. Jennifer had been a big help to me as she led me to the restaurant where I would meet with Maxwell. The guards had tagged along with us but since I was with Jennifer, they let us have the space. No one will want to get on the bad side with Patricia. She had taken permission from her to take me out and Grandmother had accepted that I should go out and meet people instead of staying in doors, she had to call Rodrigo and he had to accept over the phone. The only thing that I couldn't precisely get
Jennifer's POVI was exhausted and mentally drained from having to hear all that conversation between Maxwell and Isabella. She was really In love with her boyfriend and i.just fell for her. That was me. In a way, the only thing was that my heart beats for Marcello and not everything that I have done with him was not forced. Although, I have tried to fight this Feeling and to try and love the Man who was right for me; Shawn.My parents will be proud of seeing the both of us together and not the other way around. They will be disappointed if they are to see me together with Marcello and to think that I gave him myself as if he deserved it made me hate myself. As I stood in front of the mirror staring at the reflection of myself, I could see how much of a big failure and tramp I was at the moment. My parents raised me better and I should have been better, Instead I fell for a man who doesn't deserve me one bit. When the memory of what he did in the restaurant flashed through my head
