Isabella's POVWhen he yelled out my name, I froze, my feet glued to the ground, I could not bring my legs to move at all. "Come back here and eat" he ordered. I wanted to ignore him and walk away but then when I realized that I had already provoked him by puking on his shirt the other day and calling his friend, I knew that I had to stop and look back at him. I wondered what pushed me into his room yesterday and I had to make a mess of myself. Now he was forbidding me from taking any alcohol."What is it that you want?""You need to finish your food, you are already growing leaner""I have always been lean""Well skinny""You love skinny""Really? How did you know that?" I gawked at him, ashamed that I had the deed to say that out loud, I didn't even think that I could say that till he arched up his brow at me. "How do you know that I love skinny women? How do you know my spec?""The thing is, the thing is that I don't really know that you are interested in skinny women" I cleared
Rodrigo's POVShe looked at me and blinked her eyes. "You don't have to do anything, you don't have to lift me up, I can manage on my own"I know that you can" She would always try to push me away no matter how many times I tried to get closer to her."So tell me, what is it that you want to take me to? I would like to rest my head""You don't intend to rest your head, you Intend to sit here feeling bad and down, don't play me Isabella" I strode out of the room with Isabella trailing behind me, as we got to the car, Jennifer and Marcello were already waiting for us inside the car. I guess that I was pretty hard on her at the dining table and needed to make up for it so I opted for this, taking her out seems to be the only way that I can make up for all the things that I had done to her. "Where are we going?" She asked again as Marcello took the wheels. I purposely sat next to her so that she would not get a chance to talk with Jennifer. I wondered what it was that they talked about
Jennifer's POVMarcello had left me to go talk with some of the men, I had nothing to do other than watching these shirtless men just didn't feel right. It was a good thing that Rodrigo was far away from me, the manner he was looking at me during the breakfast table had me creeped out, I wondered if he knew something or if it was just a mistake? The only thing that I could do was stay far away from him, and that was what I did. I toured around the training ground, walked into the boxing ring, and reclined into a seat."What are you doing here all alone?" A deep voice suddenly asked me and I turned around only to see the tall muscular man staring at me. "Do I know you?" From the way that he was shirtless, I knew that he was one of his men. However, I have no interest in getting along and having a chit chat with him. "No I don't, but you are beautiful""Thank you" I was about to walk away when he handed over some gloves."Do you want to try it out?""No thank you, I am going" As I was
Isabella's POV"What are you thinking?"I knew that he already knew what I was thinking yet he would rather play dumb than admit that he was also the one to blame. His men were just like him, they followed his footsteps like fools and that was what made Marcello shoot his own man. They had no love for themselves, a simple punishment would have solved everything, but then they would rather kill a soul than let a man go. The severity of that Man's offense should not have been death. That was too much of a punishment to give to him. I hated the fact that I could not do anything to help Jennifer or even the poor soul who had lost his life. I know he had acted like a douchebag by trying to hold her even when she refused. However, Juan Carlos's punishment should have been enough or a few more beatings for touching the master's woman. These people would not do that, they would rather end life as if Blood tasted sweeter than milk."Do you have anything to say?""No, I don't""I can see righ
Marcello's POVShe raked her hand through her hair and when I attempted to touch her face, she threw her face to the other side."Don't touch me, you suffocate me right now and please can you move back, don't crowd back" She rolled her eyes and I took a step backward. I was mad at myself for what I had done but it wasn't really intentional. Everything that I had done had been because if I hadn't done it back then that man would have gotten away with what he did and perhaps hidden in another different place again."I hate myself right now" I had to admit that to her and she saw it in my eyes. However, that was still not enough, she threw her face to the other side and walked back to her seat."You need to leave, I have a meeting right now and don't want to be disturbed. You should come back later, alright?"."How about the dinner? You haven't said anything to me"What exactly do you want me to say to you?""Say yes""Yes, are you happy now? Will you leave me alone? Or do you still have
Marcello's POVI almost jumped with the Thought that it was Jennifer coming back to take her phone, but it wasn't. It was Grandmother Patricia. She was here for something that I had no clue about. "Don't you have work to do these days""I will always have time for Jennifer""Are you here because you have time for her or because you are begging her to take you back for your stupidity the other day at the training center"I was nonplussed, how did she know about that? Did she keep tabs on her or was it Juan Carlos who was her informant? He seems to be her favorite person at the moment and that was really annoying. I wonder what she saw in him that was so hard for her to see in me. She has always loved me but ever since I started going after Jennifer, she seemed to dislike me a lot. Even though she was her, I could not let her distract me from anything. I texted Shawn that Jennifer was not going to make it and deleted the message so that she wouldn't have to suspect anything."How did
Isabella's PovAs I read through the letter that Maxwell had sent over to me through Jennifer, tears brimmed down my face. He seemed to have been determined to get me out of this ridiculous marriage that Rodrigo had confined me in. However, it was rather impossible for him, Maxwell had no connection with Rodrigo. He knew people in higher places, Maxwell could never do that and perhaps somewhere in my heart I saw that coming, but that doesn't make the pain any better.What ripped Her apart was the fact that he was leaving and returning to his life, he had already given up on me before I even gave up on him. I was willing to come back to him after a whole year was over. His exact words were that 'he had gone back to the United States before he lost his life. An ordinary clerk will never be able to beat the most feared and ruthless man."So what does it say?""He is gone, Maxwell is gone, he made the best decision by leaving but why does it feel as though it is the worst for me. I canno
Rodrigo's POVShe quickly wiped her tears, I saw it so there was no need to wipe her tears as if she had been smiling. I know she was crying, I saw it with my eyes, I am not foolish at all. I got it and this woman makes it seem as though I am foolish."Tell me, Isabella""Something flew into my eyes, I wasn't crying""Huh?" I glared at her, she just thought that I was one of those dumb men who were easy to fool, but I wasn't, especially when it comes to her. Taking slow steps towards her, I lifted up her jaw and she looked right into my eyes, her eyes cold, it had this fire and sadness in it, a whole lot of emotion in those beautiful eyes and it didn't go unnoticed by me. For the first time, I felt responsible and just pulled her into my arms as I plopped to the bed. She didn't push me away, she did not push me any time that I tried to do anything but she did not hug me back either."From the way that your heart is beating and your eyes are sad, I am aware that you are sad. I don't
