A grin was playing on his lower lip, a rare expression of pure joy. The memory of Isabella's fiery exchange with Michael replayed vividly in his mind, the way she had shamed Michael without hesitation and in front of him too. “Do I need your signature to receive visitors?” He repeated and let out a short laugh. It was as if she had thrown down a gauntlet, making her choice clear to him. "She still loves me." James whispered to himself, his voice full of triumph. "Of course, I always knew she does."

James had asked me out yet again just yesterday. which was just some days interval after the first one we went to on the same day I met Scarlett. On the second time, his voice had been laced with excitement, and I had hesitated. Nevertheless, I agreed; I had to; after all, this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

ISABELLA POVI paced back and forth in the small space of my living room, my mind spiraling with thoughts I couldn’t control.My fingers were trembling as I clutched them together, and my breathing was uneven. The light from the overhead lamp did nothing to calm me.How did this happen? How did Lilian’s phone end up in Nathan’s hands?I clenched my jaw, trying to steady my frantic heart, but every time I pictured what this development could lead to, a fresh wave of panic would overwhelm me.The thought of my family knowing about the poison terrified me more than the illness itself. Or rather, the poison. Just thinking about whether or not I would have to tell them made me feel chills. Would they be able to take it? The bond I shared with them was too strong; they would condemn themselves. They could even start getting ill on my behalf.

The hugs they exchanged before she walked out had been brief and tentative, as though none of them could find the right words to say; she had promised to check up first thing tomorrow.For now, silence reigned.

She was prepared for an evening that had the potential to be fun. She had a date coming up with Nathan in a couple of minutes. She stood in her bedroom, surrounded by chaos. The bed, once white and free of rumples, was now covered with a sea of dresses in every shade and style.
