Isabella POV

My eyes scanned the crowded room, I had just seen Dominic leave with Grace again, it was like any time we had any breakthrough, she would appear and we would take ten steps backward.

I made my way through the crowded room again finding my seat, now empty, as everyone had finished eating and lingering around and being social now.

My phone pings in my phone and I frown, is it Bianca? I really need to speak to someone on my side at this point, someone who could advise me on what to do.

I pull my phone out of my bag, and a notification from a gossip blog pops up, confused and interested, I click the link, and the page comes out with headlines; “The Mariano family, on the brink of bankruptcy? Is that the reason for the rushed marriage to the Deluca’s? Is Isabella Mariano as innocent as she looks to be or she's just a Gold digger who steals men from other women?”

My heart pumps fast in my chest, this can't be, who would publish such, I can almost feel eyes on me, phones start t

    Isabella POVThe next morning, I'm worried about Dominic, “I mean he hasn't picked up my call in days” I say into the phone Bianca making noises from the other side“Yeah not since he left with Grace, I think you should chill, head to work and we can see later during the day, I came bearing gifts from Egypt” she giggles into the phone.“Alright, I’ll see you later,” I say ending the call, I turn to the mirror the blue suit I wore today wrapping around my body.My phone dings again and I see a message from my mother-in-law“Go to Dominic office and personally pick up the auction documents for the charity event” I read the message to myself rolling my eyes, the auction is in a few days and I've been doing everything myself, with no help from her or Dominic. The sun reflects on my seat when I push the door of my office open, on the couch seated lazily is Raffaelle.“Raffaelle” I call out his name “What are you doing here?” I turn to look at the time, “And so early in the morning?” I dr

    Isabella POV“Hello girls” she crosses the table, standing beside us “Such a coincidence catching you guys here, I would say it's a pleasure, but it's not” She rolls her eyes crossing her arms over her chest.“Leave Grace, I think we've had enough of Slut for the day” Bianca raises a brow at her, downing her drink.She rolls her eyes turning to me, her mini skirt wrapping around her lower body, “Have you seen Dominic lately? He's been such a darling to me these few days” She smirks turning away, her hair swishing on her back with each step“I want to put a knife through her eyes” Hannah grabs the table knife in anger“Thank you guys,” I say to them, my heart sinking in my chest, I knew he left with Grace but he had actually been with her for two days. Totally ignoring me, my lips start to quiver and my eyes prick with tears “I have to go” I stand up picking up my bag urgently, i don't want them to see me cry, to see what I've been going through since I got married to Dominic.“Isa” Bi

    ISABELLA POVThe documents in my hand feel heavy as I stand up ready to question his assistant about them, but she probably knows nothing about it.I grab the auction document, quickly leaving the room in a rush, “I heard she seduced him and stole him from Grace” one of the personal assistants says her back turned to me“I heard her family is broke and that's why she married him” the second one concludes adding to their gossip“I heard she got pregnant and trapped him,” another says her eyes looking between both her friends and they land on me“Hmph” I cough out loud prompting them to turn to me.“How about instead of gossiping about how I married my husband you should focus on your job” I roll my eyes walking back towards the elevator.*****“This is a lot,” I yawn to myself, I've been up all night correcting The Deluca finances, and finding all the mistakes I could.I close the document looking around the dark office, Dominic had made for me, it's been three days and he is still no

    Dominic POV“You know what I'm talking about don't act like you don’t” she spits out turning her head away and tucking herself into the bed.“Isabella” I call out her name, barely a whisper“I do not want to speak about this anymore with you Dominic, goodnight” she stretch her hand turning off the lamp.I turn it back on “No you have to explain what you meant by that, you are accusing me of something, I know nothing about” She groans sinking deeper into the mattress and ignoring me.I'm left confused as I head to bed.The next morning just as worse as she disappears quickly before I can wake up and usually I’m the one who does that.“Sir, Don't forget the auction in a few days,” Thelma says next to me as she serves me breakfast.“Who has been planning this auction? My mother? Tell her I won't be making it” I turn back to the news picking on my food and wondering why my wife is ignoring me and why she hates my guts so much“No sir, it's not your mother,” she says pulling me out of my

    ISABELLA POV“Call the sales representatives, I want to have a conversation with them about their numbers, they are quite concerning,” I tell my assistant when I notice shock on everyone's face outside of the office, I raise a brow at that, what's happening? Soon a figure appears behind my doors, a bouquet of like and daisies over his arm, his crisp black suit holding his body, “Mr Deluca” my assistant is quick, pulling the door open to reveal his form.My eyes remain on his, unshattering, “You may leave us” he turns to my assistant She lets out a squeal walking past him, he steps in closing the door behind him, “No privacy?” he raises a brow at me.“I have blinds,” I say in a clipped tone, turning down to the documents on my table, my forehead scrunching in a frown, confusion rolling through me, what are you doing here anyways?” I turn my head back up to him.He sighs, the words feeling heavy on his lips.“Well?” I raise a brow at him.“Can I be offered a seat at least?” he raises

    ISABELLA POV“I can't believe you did that” I yell as he shoves me in the back of his car.“You should believe, after all, I forced you to marry me right?” he raises a brow at me pulling himself into the car, “Move,” he tells the driver.“Where are you taking me? Same places you took Grace?” I spit out turning my head to the window and watching buildings move far away from me as the car speeds up.“There will be no speaking about the past or Grace on this trip, relax and enjoy it” his deep voice calls from beside meI fold my hands across my chest like a stubborn child turning to him with confusion, “Trip? We are traveling somewhere? I didn't pack anything” I complain He raises a brow at me, his lips fighting for a kicking smile, “Isabella you are married to one of the most powerful me. In the world, do you think clothes for a trip will be an issue to me?” he moves closer making my heart pump wildly in my chest, he places his hand on my right softly“Don't worry Cara Mia, I got you”

    ISABELLA POV So today was not going to be that day, we were in the sky for so long, that Dominic stops tormenting me for once and sleeps through the entire flight.Without my phone to at least tell Bianca about this new development, I can't gossip, all I can do it watch the TV screen over and over again.“We will be landing soon, please fasten your seat belt” I hear the captains voice over the intercom “Finally I whisper turning I go to Dominic seat by my side, his unbuckled, his eyes closed and his breathing slow, it's the most peaceful and innocent I've seen him, I decide not to disturb him, and buckle him myself.Slowly I reach for the seat belt but he is quicker, his fingers clutch over my neck by reflex and the other pulls out a dagger I've never seen before.My eyes go wide as I grab his arm clawing at them, it takes a while for his vision to close in on me and release me easily.“I’m sorry,” he says immediately, panic in his eyes, “I didn't mean to,”I cough in my seat, turn

    DOMINIC POV“Wow” I whisper out loud without realizing, I've gone out with Isabella a few times and her beauty is out of this world, but making a promise to myself not to fall for another woman has halted me so far.The shared kiss we had in Bali was enough to imprint her in my brain, in my mind, and in every part of my body, I realize my mouth is still open while I stare at her from her long legs to the dress hugging her figure.“You choose the best dress for the occasion,” I say, pulling my hand forward for her to accept.“You think?” she says with an unsure look in her eyes, “I mean I dont even know the type of restaurant we are going to, what if they dont allow short dresses,” she says her eyes filled with panic, “I should have gone for the white one,” she turns around about to head back into the bathroom.I grab her arm stopping her, “You look astonishing Isabella, there's no need to change, and if they dont let you into their establishment, they have me to answer to” I laugh, “O

    Isabella POV “What? No deal!!” he yells out, pacing the room I shrug, “Then we will be stuck here for a very long time Rafaelle” I mutter my eyes on his pacing figure “I can't trust you!” he turns to me with pointed fingers I sigh turning my head away from him as I put up more drama to make him believe in me. “I...I just want to see it live, see him one more time as he betrays me” I say my voice cracking as I speak, my cheeks staining with tears. “I need it as some sought-of closure before I move on with you Rafaelle” I grit out, trying to convince him He bites his lips, his expression changing as he stares down at me with a look of unbelief. “How can I trust you?” he lifts a brow at me, his voice low and threatening “Why the sudden change of heart?” he asks further, his voice cautious. “I can't run from you Rafaelle, you have made that clear, and if Dominic is actually going to betray me and marry Grace, then I want to see it,” I say harshly, convincing him completely He

    ISABELLA POV I watch Rafaelle as his phone rings multiple times after his call with grace but he refuses to pick up the calls I frown still silent as I watch him, after force-feeding me he has barely spoken a word to me. The sunlight from the sun bounces into the cabin, the sound of the waves smashing against the side of the boat, and all I can think about is finding an escape out of here. Rafaelle walks back into the room, how eyes fixed on me, his unwavering gaze makes my skin crawl and I physically want to hurl myself out of the chair I'm tied to. “You know, Bella, Dominic will be married in a few days” he spreads his arm out, his voice low and menancing. “Can you believe it?” he smirks moving closer I roll my teary eyes ignoring his words, I feel a pang of sadness hit me that Dominic might be playing directly into their trap but at the same time, a tinge of hope fills me. “Dominic won’t marry Grace, Rafaelle and we both know it” I grit out finally responding to his

    GRACE POV I smile to myself as I leave Francesca’s office, my kitten heels clicking on the marble floor loudly. My eyes move to my phone screen, tapping the stop button as I was recording the entire conversation between Francesca and I Now, all I have to do is alter the recording to ensure that only Francesca is seen in a bad light, and I? The victim. I smile happily to myself as I leave the office, “I need to continue with my next plan of action” I head back to my car, happy that my plan is coming to fruition, it's been months of waiting and planning, and finally, in a few days, I will have everything. I almost jump in the seat of my car as I take the long drive to the shipping docks. “Bianca” I mutter, my lips set in a thin line as I park my car. I walk directly to the caravan where we kept her and the guard eyes me. “Mam, you're here, Miss Francesca didn't inform me you were coming” he lifts a suspicious brow at me I pull out my purse, my fingers clenching the l

    GRACE POV “Just a few more days,” I mutter to myself, pacing my new bedroom. Soon, I will be moving to Dominic's room, and nobody will be able to stop me. I sigh heavily, the sun reflecting down on my figure, I could swear Matilda and Dominic were talking about me last night in his bedroom but I could not hear them properly. I was sneaking closer to the room when they caught me, I pause, “I hope he doesn't suspect a thing yet?” I frown. I also can’t believe Dominic has yet to say yes to the wedding, he has been dragging his feet about it while Madam Deluca and I made preparations “I need to get him to agree to this quickly,” I mutter to myself, grabbing my purse. I need to find the man and get an answer from him quickly before our plans are destroyed. My car comes to a halt in front of his office and eyes follow my movement as I walk in. I know many of them have gossiped about me, especially after I released the news of our marriage to the press But I dont care, I'm li

    Dominic POV I push the door of my bedroom open and my gaze lands on a sight that I've been dragging myself through for weeks since Bella’s kidnapping I sigh heavily, my eyes scanning the area, bottles of alcohol at the side of the bedroom, Bella’s clothes strewn across the bed where I had dragged them out in anguish, sleeping with the materials for weeks to no end. The balcony doors have been permanently shut close with a board displaying pictures and a list of suspects. My feet carry me to the board, and the feeling in my chest prompts me to reach out towards the table. I've never had a reason to suspect Grace in Bella’s kidnapping. “But maybe I should,” I say to myself, pulling out a picture of her, I turn to the board pinning it right beside Rafaelle. I mean she has motive now that I think about it and with her pushing for the wedding so bad, I have more reason to suspect her. I bit my lip nervously, I don’t know if I should straight up accuse her and then alert her

    Bianca POV Just like a deer caught in headlights, Francesca runs towards me just as the elevator door opens behind me I try to run inside to close it but she grips me pulling out her phone. I grab her by the hair as the elevator doors close, shutting us away from Grace and Dominic. I try to fight, grunting slightly as I grab her by the shirt. We tumble on the floor together and she takes power over me, slamming herself against me and pushing my back into the cold metal floor She pulls out a gun from her side making me squeak out in fear “Don’t kill me!!” I yell out my eyes widening in panic. She laughs wiping the sweat from the top of her forehead, “You escaped and played right back into my trap, you are so dumb Bianca” she laughs pulling me to my feet the gun still pointed at my back “You won't get away with this, Dominic will find out, he will see the security footage” I grit out, my hands raised up in surrender She changes the course of the elevator down to the gar

    Dominic POV “What are the both of you doing here?” my voice booms across the hallway, my eyes on Grace and Francesca as they whisper between themselves “Dominic!!” Grace sings, practically shouting while Francesca runs towards the elevator My eyes brows shoot up in shock at Francesca suddenly running away at the sight of me Does she think I'm angry about her taking numerous trips without my approval? I roll my eyes at that, I've been so stuck trying to find Bella that I've lost concentration on every other thing. I sigh heavily as my eyes settle on Grace properly, her eyes move between the elevator door and me as she struts towards me Annoyance bubbles in my throat and my gaze finally settles on the dress she's wearing. My eyes narrows at her impending figure, “What the hell are you doing wearing that dress?” I demand, my voice echoing off the walls She pauses looking down at the dress, “uhm, Dom, I saw the dress and thought you would like it” she says quietly her e

    Rafaelle POV I stand on the deck of the ship, the wind whipping in my blonde hair. We are back on sea and on our way back to New York, I didn't know where else to go and Francesca gave no direction so this will be the best decision. And if they find Bianca they can easily bring her back to the ship My knuckles turn white as I grip the ship handle tighter, “No more playing by anybody's rules but mine” I mutter to myself I turn around heading below deck. Bella is seated at the head of the table, one hand tied to the chair and the other scrambling her fork across her plate of food. She looks up as I approach and I can see the fear in her eyes, I bite my lip, smiling slightly to reassure her but she looks away from me I sigh, one of the reasons I want to be back in New York is because I want to kill Dominic for myself, I know Francesca wants to do it but it's my revenge and I plan on taking out Dominic for good. Just as I sit down, my phone rings in my pocket. I glance do

I gulp, “Call Grace, I will get Bella out and I will call you when we are safe” I turn my back against her She huffs, entering the car to the private airport where she will take an urgent trip back to town, just incase Bianca heads there. My feet hit the floor quickly and adrenaline flows through my veins as I head inside the room with Bella. She's asleep
