"Is everything okay, sweetheart?" she asked, noticing the fury in her daughter's eyes.Isabella took a deep breath and tried to compose herself. "It's just that Liam's mother has promised to destroy their relationship, I can't for it to happen and I can't stand the thought of Elena being with him," she explained.Her mother gave her a sympathetic look. "I understand how you feel, Isabella, but you need to try and remain on the good side of Elizabeth. She has a lot of influence over Liam, and you don't want to make things worse."Isabella nodded, but deep down, she knew she couldn't just sit back and do nothing. As her mother left the room, she picked up her pillow again and started twisting it, imagining it was Elena's neck."All I want is just one chance to deal with that slut called Elena," she muttered to herself, her anger boiling over.Isabella sat on her bed, her face buried in her hands as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. Liam's words from the restaurant echoed in her mind,
Elena's brow furrowed in confusion. "I'm sorry, I'm not sure I know who you are. Have we met before?"The voice chuckled. "Oh dear, forgive me. This is Elizabeth Hamilton. We met a few days ago in my suite."Elena's eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat. Mrs. Elizabeth Hamilton? Elena's mind raced with questions as she listened to Liam's mother on the phone. "How did Liam's mum get my number?" she wondered. "Why was she speaking to me nicely after our unpleasant encounter the last time? Should I end the call? Should I pretend it's a wrong number?" The questions jumbled together in her head until Elizabeth spoke up."Elena, I'm aware my son just left the mansion," Elizabeth said calmly. "He doesn't know I'm in town, and I would like to keep it that way. Can you come down to the Niki restaurant nearby alone for a brief meeting? I promise I won't take much of your time. I want us women to talk."Elena hesitated before responding. "I'm not sure that is a good idea, Mrs. Hamilton," s
Elena felt a pang of anger mixed with humiliation at Elizabeth's words. She knew that Liam's mother never approved of her relationship with her son, but the blatant disrespect was too much to bear. She took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure.Elizabeth had vehemently tried to convince her husband to disapprove of Liam's engagement to Elena. But for some unknown reason, Donald had brushed off her words and taken a special liking to Elena, giving his approval to the relationship.This only fueled Elizabeth's anger further, as she saw the potential for a public disgrace that could tarnish the family name. She knew that she had to take matters into her own hands and save her family from this impending disaster to her. The only way she could do this without hurting the two most important men in her life was by convincing Elena to back out.As Elizabeth sat across from Elena, she couldn't help but feel a sense of determination wash over her. She had to make Elena see reason and end
But Elena was different. She had never been one to back down from a challenge, no matter how daunting. Isabella's attempts to intimidate her only fueled her determination to stand up to her oppressor. And so, when the moment came, Elena didn't hesitate to strike back, drenching Isabella in wine and delivering a powerful message that she was no longer afraid.Isabella was stunned and humiliated, her carefully crafted image of invincibility shattered in an instant. As she stood there, soaked and embarrassed, she realized that she had finally met her match in Elena. And for the first time in her life, Isabella felt a flicker of fear since Elena wasn't afraid which made her shocked and angry at the same time.Isabella stood frozen, watching as Elena and her intimidating bodyguards strode out of the restaurant. She couldn't believe the audacity of the woman who had just drenched her in wine. Isabella had been so sure of herself, confident that she could take down Elena with her sharp nails
Liam softened his tone, knowing that Elena was upset. "Listen, we're a team now. We need to have each other's backs. we're in this together as a team. My mother can be manipulative at times, so it's important that we don't let her come between us. Although I care for her deeply, I don't want to have to choose sides as you know I care about my Mom a lot."Elena took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. She knew that Liam's mother could be a potential obstacle in their relationship, but she was willing to work through it with him. "I understand, Liam. I'll try my best to handle the Situation." Elena said in tears.Elena's eyes glistened with unshed tears as she spoke firmly to Liam on the phone. "I won't hide anymore, Liam. Don't bother taking me to your second apartment. Since we're not married yet, I'll be staying at my own place. I can take care of myself."Liam could sense Elena's determination and knew he wouldn't be able to change her mind. "Okay, Elena. I understand. Just pr
“Mum, guess where I am right now?” she exclaimed, her voice brimming with excitement.“Where honey? You know I’m terrible at guessing,” her mother replied with a chuckle.Isabella flopped down on the warm, cozy bed and looked around the beautifully decorated room. “I am at my husband’s house with my mother-in-law,” she said, her eyes twinkling with joy.“That’s wonderful news, honey! I’m so happy for you! What about Liam? Is he around?” her mother asked, her voice laced with concern.“No, he’s out of town. But when he comes back, he will meet me in this house, with his mum by my side,” Isabella replied confidently.“Just be careful with that young man, Isabella, I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. Remember how he acted towards you the last time,” her mother warned.“Don’t worry yourself, mum. He will do no such thing again. Don’t forget, his mum is around and here to protect me. Moreover, I am ready to sacrifice anything to win his love, because I really do love him,” Isabella
As they talked, he couldn't help but feel grateful for his relationship with Elena it felt like having a new light in his life after so long. Elena always had a way of putting him at ease and making him feel understood. Eventually, they said their goodbyes and he climbed into bed, feeling content knowing that he had someone like Elena in his life.****The next morning, Elizabeth emerged from her room and was immediately struck by the eerie emptiness of the mansion. She called out for Joseph, their faithful butler, several times but received no answer. Growing increasingly anxious, she fished her phone out of her pocket and attempted to call Steven, Liam, and even her husband, but all of her efforts were thwarted by poor network connectivity.With her heart pounding in her chest, Elizabeth dialed Isabella's number, hoping for a response. But the phone wasn't connecting too due to the network. Fearing the worst, she hurried over to Isabella's room and tapped gently on the door. There w
Isabella groggily rubbed her bleary eyes and let out a big yawn, her body sprawled across the bed. She wasn't sure if it was daybreak yet, but something felt off. She sat up, squinting in the darkness and wondering what had happened to the beautiful decorative light that usually illuminated her room.It took a while for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, but when they finally did, she noticed that the light switch wasn't working. Like a blind person, she stumbled around the room, her arms outstretched, trying to find her phone. As a changing position sleeper, she had unconsciously kicked her phone to the ground and was now having trouble locating it.After a few painful minutes of bumping into hard objects and hurting her legs, she finally found her phone. But there was bad news - the battery was running low. She tried to use the background light of her phone to navigate her way around the room, but it wasn't enough. She desperately toggled the light switches, hoping that the light w
