Isabel's heart clenched in pain and eyes welled with tears. She felt the same way when she was being auctioned. Humiliated!Someone came to her and questioned her self-respect. The woman not only insulted her but questioned her character. The tears she had stopped from leaking in front of that woman were now fleeing freely from her eyes.Home wrecker! She was accused of something so cheap. She didn't want to wreck anyone's home or relationship. She didn't want to stay here for a single second more. She was disgraced enough. That woman's voice buzzed in her ear. Isabel's whole body trembled in trepidation. What if it was the truth? What if she gets blinded by his charm and doesn't see his true intentions. Helena's past flashes in her memory the pains she suffered, the humiliation she went through. Isabel wouldn't survive something like that, she couldn't. Suddenly the cocoon she had built around herself had disappeared. She didn't understand anything about what she should do and wha
Viso wanted to pull out the small knife tucked safely in his pants and slash Gina right then and there but He couldn't. Not with Isabel present there. It would spoil his whole game and she might go into a trauma. He didn't want that. His patience with everything was running thin now. He wanted to get over this game with Isabel soon then He was going to eliminate the name Moretti from the history of the Italian mafia! Clenching His jaws tightly and taking a deep breath, He turned around to face Isabel whose trembling figure startled him for a moment. He didn't know how long she had been eavesdropping on them and heard of his exchange with Gina. He was freely talking about killing her and Sandro. Viso D'Angelo for the first time didn't know how to handle this situation. But still, He had to try. He took careful steps towards her, "Isabel…" He whispered as He raised his hand to touch her but she took a step back, avoiding his touch. Her pale features with a stunned look angered Viso.
"Is this true?" Isabel asked him after a long minute of silence. Her mind couldn't accept his explanation. Viso gave her an exasperated look. "You think I am lying to you?" He demanded sharply. Isabel didn't say anything and looked to another side. She didn't know what to believe and what not. She was confused about the whole situation. About her feelings, about everything. Viso held her chin softly and forced her to look back at him. "My Uncle was not a very good man, Isabel. I was nothing but a loyal dog to him. A good dog who does what he says."Isabel parted her lips as she looked at him astounded. She couldn't believe what He was saying. He was confiding in her about his family. Isn't what she wanted from him to open up about his past with her. He was doing it. “I didn't know about this engagement until two weeks ago. And when I found out about this, I denied it immediately. I am not marrying her or anyone else. I am not the marriage type," He didn't know why He told her this
The blowing cold wind was hitting Viso's body while He smoked his Cuban cigar. This was his fifth cigar. In only one day, all his struggles to win Isabel went in vain. The girl keeps surprising him every single second. He never met someone like her in his whole life. This girl keeps attracting him to her like a magnet gets attracted to iron. Isabel was an obsession for him. He wanted her anyhow. But the price of tasting her was too high. He thought his love would be enough for her to believe him and give into his coaxing. He would have treated her like a queen in his arms. Viso had thought that He would not leave her barehanded, no He would help her in her career. It was a genuine offer in his eyes. He never did this for any girl before but He was ready to do it for her. Take it as the price of herself offering, making him happy, or as a pity. He would have done it. But today, after hearing her so-called dreams. He felt…, Cazzo! He didn't even know how He was feeling. But there w
Isabel opened her eyes when sun rays hit her face telling her that it was morning already. But instead of feeling energetic and happy as she usually feels in the morning, She was feeling tired today. Her head was aching as if she was having a hangover which she was not. Her throat was also sore with constant crying last night. She didn't know when she slept while crying. Last night, Isabel felt like an empty barren woman. She never felt this hollow in her life except for the time when she lost her father. She was like this on that day as well.But at least she had Helena with her back then. Today she was alone. She thought about calling her friend multiple times last night. She needed someone to pour her pain to, she needed the shoulder of a friend but she didn't call Helena. Because she was busy with her own problems. The last time she talked to Helena, she told her about the problems she was having at her job. Isabel didn't want to distress Helena especially with Liam being with
"No?" Viso whispered slowly. His mind was still in a haze of her answer. She didn't want to marry Him. What the hell does she want if not marriage? What else was left now? Should He lay his life in her feet now? Was that what she wanted? Viso's Chaotic mind bursts into deep wrath. Isabel swallowed her saliva to wet her dry throat. She could see the question, the shock on his face. She took a deep breath and pushed him a little away from herself. She needed this space between them at this moment. It took all his self-control and power to not act on his outrage. Viso raked a hand to his face and nodded as He met her eyes. “Why,” He asked."Last night you said you want a man who wants marriage. I am ready for everything except for a dog. I am allergic to fur animals, but…" Viso was feeling distasteful while saying it but He said it anyway, "If you want a dog, then we can have one. I mean I would try to stay away from it," Viso said, but a look of pure blight flashed on his face as He i
Isabel gaped at him for a few seconds to see if He was joking but she didn't see any kind of mirth in his eyes and she chuckled at his words. "We can't marry tomorrow, Mr D'Angelo. I mean I said yes to your proposal but..""But what?" Viso sliced her words. "You want to marry me. Then why should we wait?" He asked in an urgent tone. She agreed to marry him so why can't they marry tomorrow? She smiled at his face, which looked like a three year old was deprived of having a bunch of chocolate boxes. "Because I don't want to rush such an important life decision. You shouldn't either. I want to give us time to enjoy the beautiful moments with each other, now that we are officially in a relationship as girlfriend and boyfriend," She said, adding a teasing tilt in her voice. "Fiancè and financèe, not girlfriend and boyfriend. We are officially engaged now, you accepted my marriage proposal, Isabel." Viso immediately pointed out. The irritation was back in him, He didn't understand why sh
"What is this, Mr D'Angelo?" Isabel asked in urgency. She was gobsmacked to see the article on her phone as they were sitting on the breakfast table. “The news is viral," She said looking at his blank face. Her worried features implored him to imitate her actions. But inside He rolled his eyes. "What News?" He asked innocently when He was the one to viral it. "The news of our engagement! I accepted your proposal just an hour ago and this article went viral around six hours ago," Isabel asked, frowning at him sharply. "The Internet is full of our pictures."Viso acted shocked when He was anything but. Yesterday's event worked in his favour greatly. Their pictures together, the way they were behaving with each other in that event. Everything was on time, He only asked his publicist to spread the news of his engagement with Isabel right after He talked to Evan. He was ready to do everything to get her, no matter what method or trick He had to use."Isabel, I think they made it up. I
