“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 the stingiest Billionaire that existed in the whole of Europe. But then Titus sighed, recalling his Capo was going to extort that money from the pockets of some other businessmen as security money. Because Viso D'Angelo rarely spends his own money."Introduce me to your designer, Ms Ricci," Viso ordered her when He got bored and irritated with her mindless chatter and not to mention her clinginess.Lucia Ricci blinked in surprise. "Oh yes, I forgot with all the meet-ups," she whispered with a seductive hint in her tone. Viso turned and gave her a fake smile. "Isabel," He snickered.Lucia gave him another one of her seductive smiles before asking Pierro to call Isabel. "But she is leaving, don't you remember? She is leaving for Milan in a few minutes. She stayed for the show because of Francesca."Lucia thinned her lips. "I don't care, Mr. D'Angelo wants to meet her, how can I say no? Go and grab her here in whatever condition she is in."Pierro gave her a disappointed look before walking to the changing room where Isabel was checking her travel bag for the night when Pierro told her about Viso. She was surprised, "But why?" Isabel asked him, blinking twice.Pierro shrugged his shoulders.“I don't know but I suggest you change your clothes. I mean Lucia won't be happy seeing you meeting her important guest in this attire," he said looking at her denim jeans and white shirt with her hair left open.Isabel rolled her eyes. "I am not changing into a party dress just to Please our Boss' crush. I have to catch a train in an hour. Also, Mr Billionaire is her crush not mine. So that's how I am meeting him."Pierro gestured towards the party and Isabel walked out with her backpack in her hand. "You asked for me Boss?" Isabel said smiling politely at Lucia who gave her an irate look.Viso’s eyes gleamed, seeing the beauty with ravishing lips standing in front of him. Dirty desires ran through his body imagining her juicy cherry lips doing different jobs for him. She looked hot and sexy even in jeans and a shirt. "Yes, I called for you, Isa. Mr D'Angelo wants to meet you. He liked the dress you were wearing," Lucia said, tightly eyeing Her clothes critically.Isabel finally turned her attention from Lucia to Viso and gave him a soft smile as their eyes met. "I am pleased to meet you, Mr D'angelo," Viso's mouth watered as He sniffed her scent and accepted her offer for a handshake.The sky was suddenly lit with thunder at that very moment. The sky roared and blinked violently as if it was trying to give an alarm. Isabel jolted in fear. "The weather was clear till now, what happened suddenly," she murmured looking at the angry sky and Viso chuckled at that while staring at her. "The weather is giving you a warning, Isabel."She frowned and looked at the intense gaze of Viso. "What warning, Mr. D'angelo?" She was confused over his words."That you caught the eyes of a devil. Evil eye, do you believe in it?" Viso asked in a deep husky tone.Isabel smiled at that. "No. I don't believe in the evil eye, Mr D'angelo.""You should. It's real. Real and very dangerous," He said, squeezing her hand slightly to feel her warm skin more closely.Isabel felt weird hearing his words, her body reacted unusually. Bristled, she snatched her hand from his hold. "Excuse me Mr D'angelo but I would like to leave now, I have a train to catch," she said before turning to Lucia who was giving her a harsh glare but a fake smile was plastered to her face.Viso tilted his head to the left and squinted his eyes slightly. "A train? To where?" He asked this time deep and low. A shudder ran down Isabel's spine upon hearing that voice. "She is going to Milan, Mr D'angelo for some personal work."Isabel didn't like Lucia sharing her things with her guest. She didn't know why but she was getting some odd vibes from him. "It was nice meeting you Mr D'angelo," she said before turning to her boss and giving her a nod and left from there in a rush.Viso hummed, glanced at Titus and gestured to him to bring him his new favourite fruit. Cherries.He couldn't wait to taste those luscious lips anymore. Especially now that his mystery girl was in his reach.He wanted her and He was going to have her. The animalistic need in Bonkers roared demanding and Viso chuckled. He knew He was going to Love this twisted sexy game with this cute designer...."It's been years, Officer. Years! And you couldn't find anything about my father's killer," Isabel said, her voice raised a little at the laziness of the police. It's been five years since she filed a complaint for her father's murder but till now police had done nothing except for evading the issue as it holds no importance to him."We already closed the case, Miss. We didn't have enough evidence to find anything. So Accept it and don't come here every month to irritate me," The officer snarled at her. "If you found the answer to your question then get out!"Isabel pinched her lips in thin lines as she controlled herself from snapping back at him. She knew how egoistic these officers were, there was no point in arguing with them. "You are being evasive and insensitive because you have not lost your family, officer. You will understand my pain and irritation with your system once you get in my shoes."The officer gave her a hard glare and looked at his subordinate. "Take her out of here!" He ordered and the subordinate grabbed Isabel's hand. "Let's go, Miss."Isabel struggled to free herself but the officer tightened his grip on her, forced her and walked her out of the office."Leave me!' Isabel finally managed to snatch her arm from him as she gave him a dirty look. "You all are the same. Insensitive and corrupt!""A thousand Euros." The Subordinate said, looking into Isabel's brown eyes. His blue eyes shining in greed, he knew he was going to get his hands full of green wad.Isabel frowned at his words. "What did you say?" She asked, confused at his words.The officer gave her a look. "Miss. You want to know who killed your father or not. I know something related to the case and I am willing to share it for a price of a thousand Euro.""But the officer said they closed the case for not having enough evidence.""A thousand Euro Miss." He insisted on her with his gaze.Isabel gave him a scorned look before pulling out a thousand euros from her purse. The subordinate officer grabbed the bills and smirked. "There is a nightclub here, The Hell's fire. Your father met someone there before he was killed."“Who? He met who?” Isabel asked with an urgency."A man named Patrick. He works in that nightclub.""Why are you guys not questioning him then? You should…""Miss, The case is already closed and our hands are already full without adding onto an already closed case," he said with a chuckle as he raised his hands showing the Euros, "Thanks but now leave from here."Isabel silently walked out of the police station and went to a nearby park to think. She didn't understand how to grasp this newfound information. Isabel wanted to know who killed her father. She was empty-handed until now. But now that she finally had a clue, she was going to find out her father's culprit.Isabel decided to go to this club and find out about her father's murder mystery herself unaware of the fact that going there will change the course of her life forever.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
Isabel smiled at the butler as she walked into the extravagant kitchen of her new Boss. Isabel found this place anything but home-like, she found this place like a doctor's clinic. Who had his whole place sanitised twice a day? It seemed as if her boss was scared of being attacked by an army of germs. Weird. But He does a lot of things which seem weird to Her. Talking in puzzles. Not wasting coffee. Acting weirdly in serious situations. Working non-stop. And the list goes on.Like right now she was anxiously waiting to know what happened at the meeting with the owner of Hell's Fire but her Boss was not in office yet. Her anxiety took a toll on her and she came for another cup of coffee in the kitchen. But when she told James that he looked at her as if she was the eighth wonder of the world. Isabel would have felt conscious of herself from the look she received from James but the tension in her consumed her mind to observe that look too deeply."You may sit in the office, I will
Isabel bit her lower lip, looking at the clothes she was wearing. The tight jeans and top with a blazer over it were getting uncomfortable for her to wear anymore. If she had been in her own home at this moment, she would be wearing her oversized T-shirt without a bra while moving freely around her small flat doing household chores and cooking.But today, she was waiting for her Boss to show her the room where she would be staying. She felt uncomfortable in his spotless mansion. She once again glanced at his way to see if his phone call had ended yet or not. And it has not. He was still talking to someone, she sighed and leaned back against the sofa. God knows how long she had to sit here. She glanced at the time on her phone, it was nine already. The loud growl from her stomach reminded her that it was past her dinner time. The irony of the situation made her chuckle, she was sitting inside a luxurious Palace without comfortable clothes and food. To her relief, Viso finally ended
