“Isabella Mariano?” why her? Rafaelle pulls up next to me in the bar where I settled after my squabble with the Mariano girl at the penthouse. I shrug turning to him, “Why not her?, Her father owes me a shit ton of money, so she has no choice but to do only what I say” I take a gulp of my drink “And at least she won’t betray you” he smirks turning to me knowing he stroked a cord in me with that statement I mean what woman would betray the richest, most influential, and the number one bachelor in the country? My Ex Grace Rossi was a woman who could do that and possibly more, and she did it when I was about to propose “Chin up man, who knows? You might fall deeply in love with her?” He mocks “Yeah right” I snort, “I am never falling in love with any woman for the rest of my life, never again” I bit my lip downing the rest of the drink. “Finishing your drunk so fast? Work? Or Work? He raises his brows at me refreshing to the dangerous part of me, the mafia part of me” I nod, spinning around on the bar stool, I’m the leader of the biggest and notorious Mafia gang in the country, and even expanding into Europe, It’s the most dangerous part of my life, being the only son of my father, after his passing, I had to take over from him and lead the gang, I've come across guns, dealers and the worse type of deaths, it made me hide in my shell and protective of myself, thus only one good friend, Raffaelle. “I’ll see you later man, I have a flight to catch, I have to be in Paris for a meeting” I shake hands with him and bid goodbye to his form. I catch Isabella walking past the lobby and through the doors at the right time, her blonde hair is in a rough ponytail, there's no makeup on her face, and she's wearing a simple jean and shirt. Her face is morphed into one of confusion and I slowly follow behind her outside where she slides into her car. I can hear the bells ringing in her head and the wheels turning in her brain, she has no choice but to accept my proposal due to her father's huge debt. It's not something I want to do, forcing a woman to marry me, but it's the best option at the moment, that way I can focus on work properly and she can focus on taking care of the estate and giving me an heir. My car comes to a stop in front of me coupled with a few escort cars, I slide into the main SUV and my assistant Gabe rattles off all I have to do in Paris for tonight. I close my eyes and a picture of a pissed blonde blue eyed girl slips into my mind, her confusion causing a scrunch in between her forehead, I sigh opening my eyes, I can't afford to fall for another woman after Grace, and I still have so much attachment to Grace, I turn to Gabe, a flash of ruby earrings I caught on Isabella’s ears when she came to see me at the penthouse. “What time will my meeting In Paris be over Gabe?” “midnight Sir” he replies not a bit shocked at working such late hours. “Book the La-Creme jewelry store for 1 am to 2 am in Paris, private shopping and they should have their best Jeweler there” “Yes sir he immediately responds but a look of shock on his face, I had stopped going there after my break up and betrayal from Grace and now suddenly I'm going back?” “Also arrange a meeting with an event planner for tomorrow” I instruct him the car coming to a stop in front of my private Jet. Soon my meeting is over and the night sky is dark but I'm driven to the best Jewelry store in Paris, the entire space is bright with all kinds of diamonds and stones screaming to be bought. “Timothy Sir” an older man stretches his hand out to receive mine when I walk in, numerous security behind me as I move around with more security in other countries due to Mafia opponents. “I need to see your engagement rings, Diamonds, Emeralds, and Rubies” I state clearly following him to the glass box He pulls out a few for me and I take a few pictures of them sending Isabella a message “Diamonds, Emeralds? Or maybe Rubies?” She replies almost immediately, I'm not wrong, she is probably tossing and turning in bed, wondering what she can do to save her father and her family, excuse me for taking advantage of the situation but I've heard not one bad thing about her and I will willingly settle with her. Our interaction ends and I buy all three rings deciding which I would use to propose to her later, i hope this makes her comfortable with me at least.Related chapters

Is this really Rafaelle? Why would he do this to me? It's even more suspicious as the man is silent, moving around me like a mime. “Please just let me go, I will pay anything, my husband is Dominic Deluca, he will give you anything, just please” I cry out taking in deep breaths, my heart pounding against my ribcage.
