"I can't wait for us to get married, Isa. I will be there soon. Let me finish my projects first."
Isabel smiled at his words. He is the only person she loves the most in her lonesome life. "I can't wait for you to come and take me with you away from everyone, Liam," It's been months since they didn't see each other and there had not been a day she didn't miss him.Liam nodded and tilted the camera to the project he was working on for a moment before shifting it back to himself. Isabel laughed. "This project is the reason I am away from you. But soon I will be there."Isabel nodded and smiled at him but his eyes were sad. "Don't forget I love you, Isa.""I love you too," Isabel smiled and blew him a kiss on the camera. She knows that's his weakness. He didn't say anything and cut the call before huffing. Isabel chuckled and let out a long sigh while staring at the ocean.The flowing breeze blew her hair gently, making her smile. Her mind drifted into the upcoming charity event. A walk on the beach did magic to her mind which is filled with creativity. Working as a Fashion designer was her dream ever since she took her senses. It's her passion and one day she was going to be the biggest fashion designer of Italy.Isabel thought to walk back as the next point of property was connected to a private dork of some shipment. As she turned around she heard a light scream. Isabel frowned but ignored it, thinking it as an illusion.But after five minutes she heard the scream again and hushed voices. She stopped walking and turned to see that direction from where the voices were coming. She doubted if someone needed help.The screams became wailing as she started walking to that direction and spotted a few men near the big trees doing some movements. Her eyes widened in plain horror as she stared at the scene in front of her with a racing heart..."Capo, Ryker informed me about the targets of Moretti. They are trying to take the franchise from Russians to provide for the underworld's parties. They are looking forward to creating the monopoly of exclusive weapons in the underworld. They are in regular touch with the Russian mafia for a week." Titus told his boss about the sources which were provided by his personal investigator who is expert in getting confidential information.Viso D’angelo, the Capo of the ‘Le Aquile’ who had his eyes closed, opened them slowly and looked at his right-hand man. He arched his perfect brow at Titus and smirked. "And they will fuck around with my Dock." He mused in a dark voice. A malicious smile greeted his lips as He nodded. Titus thinned his lips in acknowledgement."Be ready, we are going to catch them alive. I want my goods safely unloaded. And arrange my meeting with the Russians. I will personally talk to them." Viso instructed Titus who nodded and left to get their men ready. Viso headed to take a shower to clear his mind.He was going to play his favourite game. Several parties were messing with him after He snatched over the reign of the empire of ‘Le Aquile’ from his uncle after tearing down every mole in his clan. He is the man with whom existence, people terrorised. He is known by the name of ‘Bonkers’ who leaves his identity after razing everything.Following the road of immortality, cruelty, killing and derevity and wickedness, He influenced the whole country through his deep connection and manipulations.He knew He had to stand straight to overcome the challenges because people knew ‘Bonkers’ but not Viso D'Angelo who is more lethal than a poison.'Capo, the doubt is clear. We got the lead. Your presence is needed.' Viso grinned seeing the message. He ordered Titus to reach there before time and guard the port area.After sunset, they reached the place where the ship was yet to arrive. They hid at the private point to lay hold of those so-called burglars. After getting the message of the timing of the arrival of the Ship, Viso remained sitting in his car and pulled out his cigar. He lightened the tip and started smoking.The dusk was falling with the cold breeze dancing around. He rolled the car window down and smoked leisurely while looking at the view outside. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the shadow figure walking along the edge where the ocean meets the sand.It was a girl. Slowly, He squinted his eyes. She was walking freely and playing with the sand with her foot like a child.Viso couldn't look away from that girl. He didn't understand what that girl was doing here. Didn't she know how dangerous this place was? The only thing He could grasp was the shine on her bracelet in the dim light of the dark evening. It was shining like a small bulb. He was absorbed in her little funny and childish movements when his phone rang. He kept his gaze on the mysterious figure while accepting the call without even checking the caller Id."Capo, we have got them." Titus said from the other side, making Viso grin. A wave of excitement rushed through his body. He spotted the girl going back to the place from where she came, probably. He averted his gaze and disposed of his cigar. Getting out of the car, He walked towards his private point where no single soul was present except his men.He checked up on his goods before looking around at burglars on the floor unconscious with an injured body."Did they say something?" Viso asked Titus who shook his head. He gestured to a dead man on the sand,"This one was about to open his mouth when this swine shot him on the spot to make him shut." He gestured to another man who was thrashing in the arms of Viso's men.That man shot his own man, preventing him from disclosing confidential information to them. The man was loyal, Viso thought and He felt a different kind of kick to break the loyal dogs.He walked to the man and grabbed his jaws tightly, "You think, I wouldn't know who sent you to seize and violate my delivery." Viso said with a twisted smile. That man was going to shoot himself on being caught but they didn't let him.Viso was rewarded with his silence. He looked at the other man who was alive but injured."Did he bark?" Viso asked Titus who shook his head in a No. Viso hummed. He pulled out his 'baby' (Gun) and pointed at him."It won't terrify you, I know." He grinned while looking at the man who kept silent."But I have other distinct ways to play with you." Viso said to him and turned to the same man who was injured and witnessed everything with open eyes. Viso went near him and asked, "Wanna disclose something?"That man turned pale seeing his death in front of him. Viso twitched his lips in a boring way and shot him on his legs. The man screamed hard with the pain. "I.. Don't..kill me, please." That man breathed out, whimpering. Viso moaned in disappointment."I don't like his voice." He said and looked at his men. They knew what their boss was thinking."Time to go… buddy." Viso said with a sad tone and pointed the gun on his head. But Before He could pull the trigger, a luminous object interrupted his sight, making him close his eyes abruptly for a second. Irritatingly, He raised his eyes looking at the source of this disturbance.And his breathing stopped as there stood a girl under the moonlight which was reflecting her features clearly. Her big doe-like eyes were wide open and a hand with the luminous bracelet on her mouth were proof that she had witnessed this dreadful scene certainly.Ah! He forgot about that shadow girl. But hasn't she left already?Viso could feel her shallow breathing in the pin-drop silence around the beach. The cold breeze flickered, teasing her hair and swaying her skirt, gently. She stood there with the numb body and unblinking form. He reckoned that she was in shock.He inclined his head and ever so slowly his lips curved upward into a smirk. Another victim to play!The terror was evident in her brown eyes. She was clutching her long skirt tightly with her left hand. Viso blinked and his smirk broadened into a grin. A devilish look of him could make anyone pee in their pants but his face was concealed from the eyes of that girl due to the dark. She couldn't see their faces clearly but she knew what they were doing and who they might be. Their figures were under the shadow of the trees swaying violently by the harsh breeze.Viso was about to open his mouth to let out something when she withdrew her hand from her mouth and gasped loudly. Her little movement chilled up Viso's skin everywhere. It took everything for him not to wave. His mouth opened with her little gasp. The very first thing He noticed about her was her full lips. The thickness of her plump lips took his breath away on the spot.Bellissima!The word invaded his destructive mind. Indeed she was a beautiful woman who was standing there under the moonlight like an Angel.Her eyes glistened with fear and she licked her lips after swallowing which made Viso pull the trigger in haste. She flinched back literally. He was staring intensely at her, drinking her beauty with his sinful eyes and his grip on his gun tightened while shooting continuously on the sandy ground.His men stood around amazed when they saw their boss was shooting aimlessly on the sand behind the victim who had his eyes closed in anticipation.But nobody disturbed him because they knew the outcomes. When the gun went empty, Titus came forward and followed his Capo's vision. He watched a girl running in the other direction as if her life was on fire. Titus would have sent men behind her but when he turned his head to see Viso's reaction, he was stunned. His Capo never acted like this."Capo, should I?" He asked after a while, glancing at the girl. He knew his boss probably would ask him to grab her as she had seen the violent killing.Viso with twinkled eyes, watched the girl who was running from there as fast as she could. Her brown hair was flying around just like her skirt with the trickiness of the cold breeze but she didn't care. He could only stare at her retreating running back.Titus waited for his order But the words left by his mouth thrilled his entire existence.Viso eyed the fruit basket in front of him with hungry eyes. Last night, He painted the ocean red with the blood of his enemy's dogs.But that was not the only Red He recalled from last night. His mind imprinted an image of another shade of Red.The girl with Cherry lips. Viso couldn't get her out of his mind and wondered who she was. He knew she watched him kill those dogs and she ran away from there in terror. This gave him a reason to catch her but that was not the only reason He wanted to catch her. Viso D’Angelo’s mind has never been simple, it was chaotic and twisted, it wants to play twisted always. And He wanted to play with this girl like she had never played before. He asked Titus to find her and Viso gave his right-hand man only three days for that.Titus was sweating because the only description Viso gave him was; she had Cherry Lips. Now, Titus didn't understand how and where to find the girl with cherry lips. That time they didn't chase her. And now It seemed that the gir
“Who is this model? I have never seen her before?" Viso asked without looking away from Her.Ms Ricci froze for a moment. She didn't want to disclose the truth that her show-stopper ditched her at the last moment. But she couldn't let the question go without answering, Not when the sponsor of the show asked the question himself."She is not a model but one of my designers, Mr D’Angelo. She wanted to showcase the design herself as it's for charity and she wanted to contribute as much as she could. Isabel is a kind hearted girl."Viso's lips twitched at that. A kind hearted designer. Interesting, He thought and once again focused his whole attention on her. Isabel!Ms Ricci was joyous when Viso stayed for the after-show party and donated a hefty amount to the charity. A sum of a hundred thousand euros for the betterment of orphanages in Italy. That shocked not only Titus but the other security guards as well. Because each of them knew how stingy Viso D’Angelo was. He and his buddy were
Isabel flinched at his touch. "Don't touch me," she said as she took a step away from him. The guard chuckled at her, "You don't have to pretend in front of me. Act innocent on the stage, it might give you extra money."Isabel's brows frowned. "Excuse me?" She didn't understand the meaning behind his words. "What are you talking about?"The man rolled his eyes and nodded in appreciation. "I like it, but it's a waste of effort. I can't bid, it's against the rules my Boss set for us."Isabel's lips parted in confusion. Bid? Stage? What was this man talking about? She opened her mouth to ask him but just then a woman came there. "Is she the missing girl?" She asked and the guard nodded in answer. "She is yours now."She looked at Isabel and gave her a pinched look. "I don't have time to doll you up. The bid is about to start in a few minutes. The boss would shoot me if there was a delay.""She is good at acting innocent. I wish I could bid on her, June," the guard said and June chuckled
"Don't go, please," Isabel begged, looking around with wet eyes as soon as Viso moved after she broke the hug. She was terrified of being alone at the place with dirty vultures around her to make her their prey. She had never faced such a pathetic and horrified state in her life. Coming here was the wrong decision of her life and she regretted it badly. Viso squinted his eyes and watched her tear-stained face. Her beautiful face looked dirty. Dirty and swollen with her under eyes turning black because the tears ruined her makeup and messed her whole face. And Viso didn't like it. He didn't like dirty things, Never. He hated them, his innocent angel with cherry lips needed to keep it in mind. "Clean your face, Isabel. You don't look good," He mentioned, pointing at the restroom at the corner. Isabel's eyes widened in shock, she clutched his arm even more tightly and shook her head. "No, I don't want to leave. That woman.." she broke into tears, fresh tears streamed down her cheeks.
"As your designer Mr D'Angelo," Lucia asked, surprised at his request. "I am grateful that you consider my fashion house to design your clothes but Isabel is my junior. I don't think she would be able to do justice to this responsibility. I will personally handle your suits…" Viso pinned her with a sharp stare. He didn't spend twenty-five million for an old whale. "I want Isabel Ruiz, only her."Lucia looked at the man’s face in front of her with a nervous gaze. She didn't feel right with his intention to demand Isabel, she felt doubtful. But who can go against such an affluent personality? Though she was not happy with it but she didn't have any other option. "She will be in your services from tomorrow, Mr D'Angelo." "Send her to my place tomorrow sharp at five," saying that He ended the video call with a sigh. The middle-aged woman was just too infuriating and clingy to his taste. His gaze turned to Titus. "What?" He asked, finding Titus staring at him with a dumbfounded expressi
Isabel watched the palace-like mansion in front of her. The grandiose building in front of her took her breath away. The white marble under her feet was so clean that walking on it made her feel conscious. She could only imagine the time it would take to clean this floor and keep it like a shiny mirror. Entering inside felt like she had come to a wrong place. A place like this should be made for a royals, noble person or family but here not only did she get to see it but invaded it. The servant led her to the luxurious living space. The sofa she was sitting on was the most comfortable thing she ever sat on. It felt as if she was sitting on a feather. This much richness, this luxury, Isabel was witnessing all of this for the first time in her life. And watching all this she was sure that twenty-five millions were like twenty-five euros for Viso D'Angelo. The charities He made a year were more than the amount He spent on her. He could easily forget about the money if He wanted to but
Isabel tried to focus on the design she was drawing but her eyes kept drifting to Viso who was working on his laptop without even raising his gaze for a moment. She still felt embarrassed for the blunder she made yesterday. But He also has to change his choice of wording. Today she promised herself not to repeat the same mistakes and respond to him rashly. She thought about the situation the whole night and found out that Viso talks in puzzles. And she misunderstood His puzzles yesterday. So from now on, she wouldn't react to his statement immediately. Firstly, she would understand calmly and then she would speak. Enough acting out on impulse, deciding that she focused on the designs she was working on. After some time, when her design was ready she looked at Viso but He was still engrossed in his laptop. He was so focused that He, not even once, raised his head for a moment's break. Isabel was impressed, the man could work like a machine. But she was a human and at this moment th
Isabel blinked a few times. "What do…" She opened her mouth to ask why He said that She belonged to him but stopped midway taking her time. She didn't want to embarrass herself again. Viso's attention was on Titus who nodded in answer to his question. "He says the sooner the better," Titus informed Viso regarding the meeting. Viso clicked his tongue and massaged his forehead before giving a nod to Titus, "Arrange the car, I am going to meet him now,"Isabel's eyes widened upon hearing that. "No!" She forgot all about his comment and held his arm tightly and unconsciously. Viso snapped his head to her when He felt her hands on his arm Clutching him tightly. As tightly as He wishes to hold her while taking her in the arms of pure elation. "That man is dangerous, Mr D'Angelo. He could harm you!" She cried anxiously. She still thought that the owner was Patrick. "Don't go there please."Viso was looking at her beautiful, milky slender hands that were clutching him tightly. He was slight
