Rodrigo's POV "We are going on a vacation""Do I have to go?" She asked and I nodded my head. Does she have to ask me that? Of course she will have to go, she is my wife and since my nosy relatives were coming over, she will have to be on her best behaviour. I don't doubt that she will not do anything stupid. Ever since that day that she held a gun at me, and I have her the punishment that she deserves, she has been having a lot respect."Of course you have to go, do you have to ask that?""I'm sorry alright, It won't as you again" she stared out of the window once again and I glared at her, I hated when I was trying to have conversation with her and she will be staring out of the window instead of looking at me."Look at me, Isabella' She exhaled, I could tell that she was trying so hard to control herself. "What is it?""Do you need any special requests for this vacation?""Nothing""Isabella, I want you to give me something, you are not going to be a loner alright?""I don't kno
Marcello's PovI was trying bro set the table when the door bell rang, a smile danced on my lips as I strode to the door, that could only be Jennifer at the door. When I yanked wide, her palms collided with my face, before she pushed me out if the way and walked into my apartment."That is some way to welcome your boyfriend" i turned to her. However, she wasn't done yet as she lifted her hand hand and was about to hit me again when I held her hand and arched up my brow at her. "What are you doing?*"You asshole, you didn't want me to meet you with Shawn you made sure of it"That was when it hit me that she has already figured him that I was the one who texted him that the meeting was cancelled. "How can you do that? Di you know how important that meeting was?" I was about to speak up when I noticed that she was looking rather breath taking, and then it dawned on me that she had not come from her house, she had gone somewhere else. "Where are you coming from?""I had a meeting, wen
Marcello's POV"Don't do this, if you do this it is not going to end well for the both of us'Her words were clear but I couldn't control myself or deny the fact that I had a growing erection In my pants. However, Rodrigo had warned me about this, and I had to listen to him. She had that look in her eyes as if trying to see what my next move would be. From the corner of her eyes, I saw those familiar emotions. She was scared of what I was going to do next."Marcello"Turning around, I left her there and turned off the gas heading into the bedroom to try and cool off. This was not what I planned this dinner to be, but she came around looking so beautiful and I couldn't resist her at all."Jennifer" I whispered her name as if it would give me some sort of satisfaction but it didn't, I was ashamed of coming to face her and I walked to the door, attempting to lock the door when she opened the door and I rushed into the bathroom. She chased after me, catching up with me before I could get
Jennifer's POVThis wasn't what I wanted but Marcello keeps pushing me to the wall. I love him and told him that so many times. When I met up with Shawn and he had tried to say something about him, I defended him right there and then. I defend him right before everyone who tries to say negative things about him. I love him and despite how I tried to tell him that, he would rather choose to disbelieve me and listen to all those other rumors. "Are you in for more wine?" I asked him. He hasn't said a word to me after that incident in the bathroom. I was playing around with him when I came here, I really wanted to make love to him since I have missed him, but then he came off with these whole commanding words and tried to push me to open my legs when I wasn't done with him. "No, I am okay with this one""Are you sure about that?""Yes I am, are you planning on sleeping over?""Yes I am, and you are not taking the couch or the other room" As if I sensed what was running through their min
Jennifer's POV"Who are you talking to?" "Just someone" he turned around and Continued with his call. "No, we are but it's complicated"I was disappointed that he was talking with another woman on the phone. It was really annoying that he was thinking about another when he was with me. I was already mad at him without having to hear his explanation because I knew that it was only going to boil down to the same thing that I was scared of.Watching him as he went on with his call, I sat on the bed and waited for him to be done so that we could talk. What we need right now is to talk and perhaps go on that holiday that Patricia was trying to put together with Rodrigo. I needed a break for all of these anyway and maybe it might not really be a bad idea to get on with it. "Hey," He whispered as he got off the phone. "I thought you were having your dinner" "You know I wanted to talk to you before that call came in""Really? Sorry, I didn't notice, what's this about""I think that can wa
Rodrigo's POVEven when she frowned, she looked so beautiful. As we sat at the breakfast table setting, silence filled the room, it was just the two of us who were alone, I dismissed who was standing around, I have noticed that anytime my bodyguard was around she always felt tensed so I thought about dismissing them to leave the dinning while we had our meal. Slowly Isabella was doing things to me that no other woman has ever done, she has managed to creep into my heart, I have nothing else that I think about aside from her, sometimes even when I was reading a book, she would infiltrate my head, I will try to push her out of my head but it was not just possible. She was different, her scent lingered in my nose and I closed my eyes almost forgetting that we were still having breakfast."Are you alright?" When that tiny voice echoed in my head, I quickly opened my eyes only to meet those familiar hazel eyes burning right through me."Yes I am alright, are you alright?""I am not the on
Isabella POV"I have to take this" He kissed me Once again. I would be lying if I said that I was not enjoying it. It felt so good to have him kissing me, when he kissed me, I felt myself coming Alive. That has never happened before, not even with Maxwell. However, it was a good thing that he stopped, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do if he decided to continue. Going on this vacation with his family was something I was not looking forward to because we would be acting like a real couple and that meant that he had to be around me all the time, that was not what I wanted. I don't want him to be around me all the time. Rodrigo made me lose my will to speak, he was intimidating for me to look at. "A penny for your thoughts" When that familiar voice echoed through the room, I turned around and rushed up to her. She was the only one that Was allowed into the bedroom to come see me and the one that Rodrigo allowed me to have a close conversation with."Hey, what are you doing he
Jennifer's POV"You sound so sure but don't worry, you are going to be the one who gets to eat your own word" "You are out of your mind" he glared at me."You sound so brave, but you know what, any woman who gets to be with you should be ready to meet you for who you are, a player""You know what, you gave me hope"Isabella and I glanced at each other, we were confused by what he just said. "What do you mean that I gave you hope?""I mean everyone else says the same thing, if you can be with Marcello considering his temper and the fact that he is out of his mind sometimes then why can't anyone be with me"When the words left his mouth, Isabella almost burst into laughter but that wasn't funny at all. He was being pushy a lot and that is something that I hate. I know that Marcello sometimes can be Very annoying but I wasn't expecting him to be that blunt with his friend."You are an asshole right now""You are the one who started this, don't you think?""Whatever" I rolled my eyes an
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
