It’s been five days also since the awkward encounter in the bridal dressing room with Dominic, five days, no parties, no private dinner, no more flowers or presents, just disappeared.

I would think we were not getting married anymore, but his mom has been calling me about wedding plans for days now, so the silence is a personal choice.

“Isabella darling, how is the company doing?” my uncle asks

My lips pull into a tight smile, they never wanted a woman to be part of the family company, and things will be even worse if they find out the family’s company is in debt, they will all turn on us so fast, but here they are, in our home, sending us fake smiles and showing fake concern.

“the company is doing great our numbers went up by 70% this month, and sales has been great,” I reply to him, equally a fake smile framing my lips.

    DOMINIC POV “Thank you, I will reach out to you later” I nod at the phone, my eyes moving back to Isabella’s form on the bed, the beeping of the monitors filling my ears. “I promise you Bella, I will find who did this to you, and I will punish that person severely,” I say my voice filled with anger. I swallow the lump in my throat, my heart thumping in my chest, as much as I am filled with anger, I am also filled with fear, “who would do such a thing? Who could have the access to do this?” I sigh thinking it through, there is no way this had happened in my home or the DeLuca Mansion, leaving only one place. Dave’s apartment complex, she had parked her car there for a few minutes and anything would have happened around that time. “But how did this person know where she was heading to? Was she being followed?” I frown at my thought wave, my mind jumbled up with different ideas. “Who would hate us this much to go this far?” I whisper to myself, “I took the threats seriousl

Despite the news breaking me, I face the doctor, “What about her? I want to see her now” I say my voice bold and filled with determination. I will do anything for her at this point, even if it costs me the world, everyone else can go and find a different planet to live on as long as I can keep her happy. “She is out of surgery but we can’t tell from her current condition right now,” he pauses looking through the files in his hands. “She will be transferred to the ICU soon but she can’t have visitors for now due to hospital policy,” he says with a sad frown. “Hospital policy? Do you know who I am?” I raise a brow at him, my tone coming out as a threat. He bites his lips stepping back as I step forward threateningly “I am sorry Mr DeLuca, it is hospital policy, she will remain in the ICU for a few days and after that, when we transfer her, you can

    DOMINIC POV “What do you mean by this is your fault?” I turn my eyes to her confused My mother walks forward trying to pull her to her side, “she means nothing, this was not her fault” she says nervously, her eyes moving around the room with anxiety. “We don’t have to talk about this here” she whispers to her but everyone can hear her. “What do you mean this was your fault?” My deep voice booms across the room again, leaving no space to lie, she said something, why would she claim the accident is her fault? Was I right about my sisters being behind the threat? Was this accident planned? Was this accident planned by them specifically? I narrow my eyes at her, waiting for an answer as anger fills my veins. “Come on man, calm down, don’t stare at her like you want to kill her” Rafaelle's hands snap around my shoulder pulling me back. Tears fill Rachel’s eyes as she looks around the room once more, my mom and Francesca try to hold her back but she shakes her head, her face filled w

    DOMINIC POV The entire room engulfs in silence and you could hear a pin drop. “You can go ahead with the surgery Doctor, I approve” I nod at the waiting doctor. He hands me a few documents to sign and disappears behind the double doors. My heart races in my chest, turning back to the distraught expression on everyone’s face. Everyone knew what this meant, the entire time Isabella was pregnant and she didn’t even realize, she took the fall for Rachel and claimed a false pregnancy only to be pregnant herself. I sigh, spotting an empty chair at the edge of the waiting room, I never thought I would be in this situation ever. I prided myself in my money, and power and I thought I could protect Bella with all of that, but today, I couldn’t even save our child. And for the fact that we had been intimate just once and now we were going to lose the baby. My heart drops in my chest at the thought of telling Bella, this would crush her, she won’t be happy, and this would suck the soul o

Is she okay?” Rafaelle yells back at me, eyes wide in alarm from the call I just got.My fingers quiver as I quickly stand up, ending the call.“She got into a road accident, I have to get to her,” I say hurriedly, the words coming out in a rush.I grab my jacket, sprinting down the hallway to the elevator with Rafaelle right behind me.We make it to the hospital in record time, my heart racing with every passing second and every possible scenario, fear engulfs me at the thought of losing her.I briskly make my way through the hospital doors, my eyes scanning the reception area frantically, landing on the nurse behind the desk.My heart racing, I make it to the nurse, “Isabella Deluca, where is she?” I yell my voice echoing around the room.My heart shatters into a million pieces when the nurse's somber expression meets with mine, her eyes filled with pity, “she's currently with the surgeon.

I bang the car door behind me, looking left and right, making sure I am safe before I enter the building, I avoid the elevator as Rachel warned me before, using the stairs I find my way back to the apartment door. “Who is that??” A deep voice calls from inside the apartment after I knock heavily. I don’t reply, hearing footsteps as the door pulls open revealing Dave’s roommate. “I want to see Dave” I raise a brow at him, this time filled with much more confidence and boldness. “He is not here” he squeaks out trying to shut the door “What do you mean by he is not here? You lied the last time, why should I believe you now?” I raise a brow at him anger on my face “He is not here Mam, I swear,” he backs up trying to shut the door in my face again but I hold the door with my hand My narrowed eyes meets

Realization fills her face when I pull Rachel behind me, shielding her from Francesca “Wait, you knew about this?” She yells, eyes wide in shock “Yes I know about Rachel’s pregnancy, I helped her keep it a secret this long because she was scared of you, of Dominic, of her family finding out that she made a mistake” I pull Rachel closer to me, protecting her “A mistake that could cost her!!” Francesca yells, “I can’t believe you would do this, “She is pregnant and in college!!” She yells, eyes flaring in anger. “Pregnant?” A voice calls from the open door. We turn around, our eyes meeting with older shocked ones. “Madam DeLuca” I stutter eyes on her while Rachel’s tears double behind me. “Did I just hear right?” She speaks slowly, gulping as she steps i

    ISABELLA POV Anxiety fills my veins over what I think Dominic wants to do tonight but at the same time, I can’t help but fall more in love with him for wanting to protect me so intensely. Despite his cold nature, and unending anger, beneath all of this is a layer of him I have seen only a few times, him comforting me at the pool being one of those times. I sigh, deciding to sleep but I can barely get any shut eyes as fear of the unknown is all that clogs my mind. Who could this be? Why would this person want me dead so bad? I sigh my mind reeling to one of the letters I kept hidden from Dominic. The one that threatened him, The one that asked me to stay away from him, I never told him about it to protect him, at this junction, I don’t know if I should tell him or not. I toss and turn on the bed all night, wondering if this all boils down to Grace, she is the only one who would really want me dead and out of the way, but Dominic is too blinded by love for her to see it.

My eyes move to the time, it is past midnight and the best time to go on an hunting spree of my enemies, best to catch them unannounced. “Where to Sir?” The driver turns his eyes to me through the rearview mirror. “Here” I hand him a piece of paper. “Yes sir” he nods starting the car. On the piece of paper are 10 different names and addresses, people I think would do this, if my men couldn’t get to them, I definitely can. The car ride is long but
