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
Rodrigo's pov"Isabella" I called out to her as she sat on the vanity staring at her reflection through the mirror. "Yes""I heard you had a good time today" I was uneasy when I got that damn from my Grandmother. She was one person in the world that I could not say no to. She made me feel that I had someone by my side. Though I had Marcello and Juan Carlos but the bond that I had with my Grandmother cannot be measured.She was the only close relative that I had left and I know that she looked out for me. However, that wasn't enough to stop me from being suspicious of Jennifer and Isabella. She had been acting weird ever since she left the house that day and I had to tie her up under the sun.Though she said less these days, I couldn't help but shake off the feeling that she and Jennifer were up to no good. That was just a suspicion at first till I received that call that someone was fighting to have me locked up and investigated. It was a man who made the report, the fool had no clue
Isabella's POV"I don't want to bet with you?"He seemed to be disappointed by my response but I just ignored him and continued with what I was doing. I have no intention of letting him ruin my mood. Of course, I had a feeling that no one would listen to us. He was the Mafia King, of course, he would want Connection in high places. I just didn't want to discourage which is why I nodded my head. Maxwell might assume that I love being married to this monster and want to spend the rest of my life with him. However, that was not the case, I hate Rodrigo, I have always hated him right from the first day he forced me to be his wife and threatened me at will. There is no one who I will hate more than I hate him. He was a despicable man who was not capable of loving anyone, not even himself. "Do you really want me to assume that you just want to give up like that?" "I don't get what you mean"Maxwell had no clue that this wasn't Marriage, this was hell and I Had to live it every single da
Jennifer's POV"What are you doing here?" Shawn glared at me as I showed up at his doorstep. He can be mad at me and even try to throw me out of his house but I have made up my mind that I was going to ask for his forgiveness. I really missed having him around, there was no one else for me to talk to. Shawn was my friend and the only one who had my back all These while. It wouldn't be so good to just let him be knowing that I am the one who cheated on him "I really want to talk to you""Well I don't want to talk to you""Shouldn't you be with your boyfriend?""He is not my boyfriend" That was the truth. Though I had no clue what he was to me, he had not asked me out to be his girlfriend and I wasn't going to upgrade him to something that he wasn't. "Yet" I held myself from blushing. Of course, he might need to upgrade but that was just for later, right now, the only thing that mattered at the moment was just him and nothing else. I needed to save my relationship or friendship, wha
Isabella's POVMy hands trembled against the letter and I just couldn't take it any longer as Jennifer was on the lookout just in case anyone was coming around as I went through the letters that Maxwell just sent to me. He Had been to the station in Louisiana but no one was listening to him. They were just laughing and making him look stupid. The case didn't seem as though it would make any headway. However it was just the beginning and as long as he was not giving up, then I have to hang in there with him till he gets to find someone who will listen to him. "Rodrigo is coming" She whispered and quickly shoved the little paper into my mouth and chewed it. She stepped out of the door and sat in the vanity mirror together with me. We would not want anyone to find out that I had Jennifer running errands and being the mediator between Maxwell and me. She had done so much to me and I just didn't know how to thank her for everything that she has been doing so far for me. The only thing
Marcello's PoVWhen my eyes fell on Jennifer and Isabella making their way toward us, I had a feeling that she was just not in the mood for any of these, she didn't want to be in the same place with me and I had no clue why, she was alright the other day and I made breakfast for her again. She left me to use her bathroom and Dave delivered clothes to me.As I looked at the two women, Isabella was called by Rodrigo and she had to Leave Jennifer all on the dining table."Hi" I whispered, trying to start a conversation with her and she just glared at me."Not now""Alright, I heard that you want to go home after dinner, I can take you back home""Don't worry I have already made plans for my ride tonight and doesn't involve you""Oh," I was sad that she called someone else to take her back home when I could just do that for her. She was about to walk away and head towards the dining area when I held her hand."Are you alright?"No I am not, I don't want to be here you know but somehow, yo
