"The colour I asked for was red, not this," Isabel reprimanded the new intern at the fashion house she started working a month ago. "It's red," Rina, the new intern, looked down mumbling as she cursed her fate every single second for working under Isabel. The woman was like a robot who couldn't tolerate a single mistake. Rina never met someone as stone-hearted as her. It was her first job, couldn't she be a little soft with her, but expecting this from Isabel was like expecting sun to heap water instead of heat. Isabel gave her a cold glare. "It's not red. Go and have your eyes checked, Rina. If you don't know the basic difference between red and maroon then don't waste your time in the fashion industry. Because I don't know about you but my time is very important for me!" She snapped at Rina before throwing the designs at her. The papers flew in the air before falling down to the floor.“Draw them again and this time in RED!"Rina gulped as she collected her designs from the floor
"You gave me proof against him, I need your help with filing the report. Whatever you have against Viso, I want it all. Money is not an issue now, I have it," Isabel said, her eyes meeting Helena's whose face was tight with an unreadable expression. "I was surprised to see your number on my phone today, Mrs D'Angelo…""Isabel. My name is Isabel Ruiz and you will call me that only. I am no longer connected to that criminal so don't call me Mrs D'Angelo again!” she snapped not knowing that he called her that deliberately. "Well, Isabel. I can't help you with anything in this case anymore. I gave you all the evidence against your husband but my duty ended there. If you want to file a complaint against your husband, do it on your own but let me tell you one thing. No one is going to take you seriously and in the end you will end up in a difficult and dangerous situation for yourself.""You can't back out, you are the only one who can help me in case," Isabel couldn't believe that the ma
"I have proof, officer. This man, Viso D'Angelo, is a criminal. He is the boss of 'La Acquile,' one of the most wanted criminals in the country," Isabel said as she looked straight at the police officer who gave her an annoyed look."Do you take me as a fool, Signora? Everyone in this country knows Bonkers is the head of Le Acquile and the man you are talking about is a prestigious businessman, a kind philanthropist who has links with high-end politicians of our country. You can't come here and start accusing wealthy prestigious people of being criminals!" He retorted sharply. Isabel pressed her lips together. She couldn't believe the inspector was questioning her. "Viso D'Angelo is The Bonkers, officer. You don't have to tell me how prestigious he is. I was married to that man in case you are forgetting it. I know what he is and what is not. And I told you I have proof. That man killed my father, You have to file a report against him!" she said, her gaze firm so were her words. The
"Will you say something or not?" Isabel asked her friend calmly who kept moving the ladle in the pot. She was cooking the pumpkin soup Isabel loves. "Leena, I am talking to you, have you turned deaf?" Helena sighed hearing the frustration in her tone and finally turned her attention to Her friend. "Oh really but why are you tiring yourself, Isa? You didn't care what I said or not, then stop informing me about your stuff. I told you not to go to the police. That man is a freaking killer!" Isabel pressed her lips in a thin line. "I know you are scared for Liam but I will give my life before letting anything happen to him…""I am not only worried about Liam but about you too!" she snapped at her. "And don't you dare insult me and my friendship again by thinking I am angry because I am worried about you both. I know men like Viso!" She gave her a heated look. Isabel gave her a blank look while Helena inhaled sharply to keep her emotions under control. She didn't want to repeat the same
"Stay back!" Liam once again raised his baseball bat to hit Evan but before he could do that Evan swiftly snatched the bat out of Liam's hand and he jerked back on his back on the floor by the sudden force. "Liam!" Helena gasped for her son's safety with wide eyes. Although Liam was hurt both physically and emotionally he got back to his feet immediately and pushed Evan with all his strength but Evan caught his little frame in his hand, ceasing his efforts of fighting. "Leave my Mom alone!" Liam thrashed. '`How dare you touch my son, I will kill you, you bastard!' Helena snapped at Evan and hit his chest but again he didn't budge. Evan's eyes were burning with rage seeing Helena as a mother. How dare she! "I don't want to hurt your Child!" He bit back, “But he is inviting this fight not the other way around, Amore!” Liam was still hitting Evan and his mosquito-like figure had annoyed him enough. "Have I brought you both here to stand like booths! Grab this satan's son or do you ne
"Will you leave me now!" Isabel gritted when Evan pulled her out of the car by grabbing her arm. "I will once I deliver you to my Compagno, safe and sound," He responded as they entered Viso's house. His Compagno was standing in the hallway with his back to them, hands in his pockets, waiting for them. He heard her voice, her screams after two months which chilled her body and He turned to look at his wife. Viso blinked seeing Isabel, His cherry lips. The feeling was weirdly thrilling, longing and The excitement He lost returned back to him upon seeing her. Cazzo! He missed her body too much. He still couldn't get over her sweet taste. Evan smirked seeing how eagerly Viso was waiting for them. He stopped dragging Isabel to him. Isabel looked up at him and stilled, her offender, the killer of her father standing in one piece in his mighty glory, looking at her intensely. “Eager ain't we?” Evan chuckled and pushed her into Viso. Isabel gasped when she fell into the arms of her husba
Isabel blinked, fear grabbed her heart hearing his question. Telling him about Devin is equal to killing him. Because she knew Viso would kill him and Isabel wouldn't let it happen. He was her last hope for her father's case. Viso squinted his eyes and traced the outline of her jaws with his finger, "Tell me Cara. Who is this man!" He gritted the last word and Isabel slightly flinched seeing the dark look on his face. Gone was his deception of being a good man. Today, she was once again facing ‘The Bonkers.’She gulped her fear and shook her head. "I don't know. He asked for money, I gave him in exchange for the proof he gave me against you."Viso clenched his jaws even harder. He knew she was lying. It was written all over her face, His Cara was a terrible liar. Her answer angered Viso but instead of using his information extortion methods on her, which He loves using on people who think they could lie to The Bonkers, He remained silent.Because the woman standing in front of him wa
"Open this damn door, I want to meet Isabel!" Helena screamed and kicked the huge iron gate harshly. "Open up, you bloody monsters!" Helena was shaking all over in fear not only for her friend but for her son too. They broke every electronic gadget in her house, warned her of the consequences of doing anything against Viso and Evan and left. Helena knew it was foolish to contact the police when she knew very well that the police were not going to help her. It was Liam who asked her to follow Isabel. She was proud of her son's bravery. Instead of being scared with the whole situation, he was worried about Isabel. Helena didn't think twice before following her friend. She used the emergency fund and brought two business class plane tickets to reach Florence from Rome because there was no economy class ticket. The tickets ruined her emergency fund but she had no regrets over it. So exactly after four hours she was here in Florence ready to fight those two mafia heads and their armies if
