Jennifer's POV"No, what is it?""It is their heart, while Juan Carlos has a big heart of gold and will forgive, Marcello is never forgiven and loves to retaliate"That made me scared for a moment, but then when I remembered the story that Rodrigo had told me, j just could not blame him, he had no mother at all, his mother had left him, and the only person who could kill himself. He lived his entire list trying to fight for himself""It is not his fault"Patricia seemed to be taken aback by my words, she was surprised that I would take his side. I had to, I was in love with the man, and he had me hooked without even being aware of it, he might not really know but he is all that I have ever desired."You are defending him, is there something that I must know about?" That was the perfect moment for me to tell her that he was the man for me but then her mobile rang and I had to just keep quiet."Alright, I will be out shortly" She stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. Ther
Jennifer's POVWhen we arrived at the club I got out of the car, I was surprised to see Juan Carlos get down as well. That annoyed me and I just rolled my eyes as I looked at him. "Won't it be better if you wait for me in the car? You already know that you are not friends with Marcello, I don't think that he will want you here""I am working on Patricia's order, if he has a problem with me then he should take it out with her and not me" With that he walked past me, and held the door for me as the doorman opened the door for us to get inside.As I walked into the club, I saw someone peeping at Juan Carlos and I through Marcello's window, I couldn't tell who it was as I made my way into the club. When the men around saw me walking into the club with Marcello, they glared at me, and I realized that they recognized me from the other day. Marcello may have talked about me with some one of them, nevertheless, I didn't care about that. They may not like Juan Carlos, but that does not stop
Rodrigo's POVWhen Marcello sent me that video of Isabella in the kitchen, a smile formed on my face. I just couldn't concentrate on anything as my mind slept drifting to her every now and then. She was really something else.That woman was a temptress, no wonder that man Maxwell he to chase her down here, he was glad that I had already given Isabella my word that I wouldn't hurt him and I was going to keep to my word.However, I just needed to return home at the moment, for some reason, I just wanted to see Isabella. She just kept invading my head and heart and I couldn't push her out, I needed to since I was not the sort of man who believed in love, I had not loved any woman except my mother, Grandmother, and some of my favorite relatives.As I got to the house, Isabella was in the game room playing snooker, she was terrible at it, but I still could not help but stare at her as I stood at the doorstep. "You are terrible at it"When she heard my voice, she was forced to pause. The l
Rodrigo's POV"Did you just?" She was not surprised but was angry that I had wanted her to dance naked. It wasn't the first time that I had told her to dance for me. However, it was the first time that she was being asked to dance naked."I will pretend that I did not hear that" She gently pushed me away and was heading out When I felt my adrenaline rush up. "Don't you dance naked for Maxwell or any of those men that you used to dance for and don't you ever say that you are not a professional dancer. I am very aware that you have given them your body" I stated in a heartbeat, a bit caring if I was hurting someone's feelings. Right there, I just did not care about what she might be feeling at that moment. The only thing that I cared about yummy food was the fact that she was passing through the Same kind of pain that I passed through."I won't dance naked for you or any other man, if you think that I am some cheap tramp then I can assure you that you have got the wrong person" She un
Jennifer's POV"You have to whip the cream, Jennifer," I laughed as Patricia watched me bake the cake."You are doing it well, you should practice moreSpending time with Patricia was something that I really loved, nevertheless, when I did not see Isabella over, I assumed that Rodrigo might have refused her from coming over. However, that wasn't the case, she never asked him at all, she confessed to me that she had a change of heart and I wondered why. I didn't bother to ask her any further questions since I had a feeling that Isabella herself would not want to be in that place.Isabella wanted one thing and it was not to stay close to Rodrigo playing the perfect mate, she was not happy by his side and just wanted Maxwell to return with someone who would free her. I did not want to tell her but it does seem as Though Maxwell might be successful.In so many years that I have known Don, no one has ever run away from him or been capable of taking him down. He had Intel in so many places
Marcello's POVI was disappointed in her, she was throwing herself at him or it was the other way around. Whichever one it was, they were both shamelessly doing all that where everyone could see her."Listen, man, I am only trying to get something out of her eyes""I said that you should get the fuck away from her, Jennifer doesn't need you to do it, and threw are Many women around""There is no one in here and you don't have any right to stop me, the only one who has the right to yell at me to stop and I will listen is Jennifer"Anger seeped through me, I couldn't take it any longer as I rushed towards him. "What did you just say?""Stop, please Marcello" I was enraged that she was pleading with me to stop when she should be telling him to leave. "I know what this looks like but we were not doing anything wrong" I could see that her left eye was already red, she must be in pain, nevertheless, I didn't care about that. Juan Carlos was trying to take her away from me, he was trying t
Jennifer's povI was confused by his words. "What do you mean that you want to break up with me""You are not one for me, if you stay with me you will get hurt, and you will not be able to do what you want to do. You will have to love someone who isn't going to treat you the way that I do, I am nothing but a monster who doesn't deserve to be loved by someone like you""What are you talking about? I love you and I don't care what anyone has to say about it. Yes, I never wanted this but you made me fall for you, I fell so hard for you so please don't do this" I pleaded with him. How can he not see that if he leaves I will never be the same, I am aware that anyone in his shoes will think the same if he walked into the kitchen and saw me in that manner, even I will do the same thing that he did.But I did not break up with him, he caressed my cheek before cleaning the tears on my cheeks. "You don't understand, I don't want you to blame yourself, right now I am not worthy of you, let m
Isabella's POVAs Rodrigo made his way into the house, I stood by the corner sipping a glass of wine, he and gone for a ride after he had brought Marcello over to the house. He was angry and Jennifer at first and didn't let her see him, he blamed her die what happened, that was what he was good at blaming others. How can he blame her when she declared her love for Marcello right before Patricia and if it wasn't for Juan Carlos who arrived, he was about to have her thrown out of his house. I glared at him, he was not seeing me and I hated that. He has belittled my friends and me so much, my parents were his victims as well. Everything was taking a toll on me, I just could not take it any longer as I watched him walk up the stairs and into his room, I knew that he was about to walk into his room and hit the shower.Gulping down the drink, I had to make my way towards the stairs, I staggered and when Juan Carlos rushed over to help me, I pushed him aside, I couldn't help myself, they
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
