Chapter 1: The Betrayal

ISABELLA"To Isabella and Caspian!" My father, Victor Sterling's voice boomed as he raised his glass of champagne. "May your future be as bright as your present."I don't know if today is the best day of my life, but I'm thrilled. I'm engaged to the man I've admired since grade school, and now, in our twenties, our families have arranged a marriage. It was intended as a business arrangement, but for me, it's everything I've ever wanted—to marry Caspian Thorne.Everything seemed perfect.I smiled at Caspian, but his eyes were distant.

Chapter 2: His Voice
ISABELLA"Miss Isabella, we regret to inform you about your father.""What? Where is he?" My voice trembled, a knot tightening in my stomach. I never imagined this day, this feeling of utter helplessness."He's been arrested. Financial fraud." He sighed, his gaze dropping to the polished floor as if he couldn't bear to meet my eyes.A gasp escaped me, my hand flying to my mouth. "No..."Outside, the media just arrived; they look like a fucking chaotic monster who wants to get a hold of me with their blinding flashes of cameras. "Shut the gate, please!" I yelled at the guards."He can't have done that. My father is innocent. He can't." My voice was a strained whisper, a desperate plea to a world that seemed to be crumbling around me.My knees felt weak, and I swayed slightly. Financial fraud? The phrase was foreign, impossible. My father, the man who instilled in me the importance of honesty and integrity? He wouldn't… he couldn't. But the captain's somber expression, the chaos outsid

Chapter 3: Ridiculous Offer
ISABELLA"Where am I?"The nurse checked my IV fluids and replied, "You're in the hospital, Miss Sterling."A flashback flooded my mind. I held my head and asked, "Where's the man who saved me?" I took a deep breath, trying to recall his face, but it was so blurry. I could only remember his voice."A man?" the nurse smiled. "Miss Sterling, you were brought in by your driver."I grasped the sheet tightly, fighting back tears. There was no man.The door opened, and Caspian entered, this time with Danica. Danica clung to his arm, a sweet smile on her face. She looked me up and down, her gaze lingering on the bruises on my arm. "I'm so sorry for what happened, dear cousin. We did our best to find the person who did this to you, right, Caspian?" And I glared at her, my stare piercing her very soul. But she just laughed. "Look at her," she said, "look at how she's staring at me, as if I was the one who tried to kill her."Caspian walked towards me and snatched my chin. "Isabella, you've be

Chapter 4: The Auction
ISABELLA"Damn it, I have to escape. There's no way I'm letting myself be sold at an auction! I'm not that cheap." I muttered to myself, staring at my reflection in the mirror—my curves emphasized by the shimmering, silk of the nude, form-fitting gown. I shook my head, a tremor running through me. "Absolutely not. I'm not going into that auction."A knock sounded on the door. My eyes widened as I recognized the man's voice—Caspian's bodyguard."Miss Isabella, are you ready?" he asked.I bit my lip, anxiety twisting in my gut, and glanced at the window. Damn. No escape. Was jumping my only way out of this hell?Before I could decide, the door burst open. Danica's mother, Jessica, stood there, her face contorted with rage, but a flicker of something else—fear?—in her eyes. "How could you cremate your father without giving him a proper funeral? How could you do this to him?"I clasped my hands together, trying to remain calm. "Jessica, I did hold a proper funeral for my father...""And h

Chapter 5: Dante Belluci
ISABELLADanica smirked at me, a nasty disgust twisting her lips. “Do you think you’re finally free from everything? Not yet, Isabella. Do you know who bought you?” She chuckled. “Well, rumors say he’s the new, youngest mafia boss. And do you know what they do to a girl like you? Oops, I can’t even imagine.”Caspian glanced at me and ordered his guard, “Take her to Mr. Belluci.” "Shame on you, Caspian!" I exclaimed, then turned my gaze to Danica. "And you too, Danica! I'm going to come back strong, and you two are going to pay for this!"And they just laughed at me.In the corner were my so-called friends, just watching me without uttering a single word of comfort. They were too scared to speak, too cowardly even to say hi.Keira sighed; Ashley just lowered her gaze while fidgeting with her fingers, and then Sophia bit her lower lip, turned away, grabbed her purse, and walked away without even glancing at me.A bitter laugh escaped my lips, a sound devoid of humor. "Damn you," I whis

Chapter 6: Teach Me How To Treat You Better
ISABELLATHREE DAYS LATER,Why hasn't he done anything yet? I mean, being bought at an auction, I expected the buyer to be a monster. To do something awful. But this guy? He's done nothing. He's actually... nice. A beautiful room. Abundant food. New clothes. Even a bathtub overflowing with the heady lavender and rose scents and the shimmering, pearlescent lotions. It's so weird. My heart pounds in my chest, and my hands tremble. Is this some kind of game? Is he fattening up his prey before... before he pounces?I closed my eyes and thought that life had delivered a devastating blow: my father had passed away. Even though he was always busy, he never failed to support me. He was always there. Now that he's gone, I feel lost and utterly alone. It's true what they say—people show their true colors when you're no longer useful. That realization cuts deep.I hadn't realized I'd fallen asleep in the bathtub. Moments later, strong arms lifted me from the warm water. I was numb, my body heav

Chapter 7: Dante's Obsession
DANTEA year ago, within the opulent confines of the Belluci Hotel, I was locked in a critical meeting with a high-net-worth client. Then, she walked by. Not just walked, but drifted, leaving a trail of a scent I couldn't quite place—something intoxicating, lingering. I watched her walking away, each step a slow, fucking torture. The urge to break away was almost overwhelming, but Raphael Woods, my client, sat directly across from me, his eyes sharp.He cleared his throat, a subtle intrusion. "That was the Sterling heiress, in case you were curious."I responded with a silent, sharp glance, pushing the contract towards him. He picked up a pen, his gaze sweeping the room. "This hotel restaurant is impressive, Dante. Your father must be pleased. Though, I imagine he'd be even more so if you'd finally secured that elusive wife you've been searching for."He knew far too much about my father. My father's dying wish was to continue the legacy, marry, and produce an heir—the expected path.

Chapter 8: Kiss Me Back, Isabella
ISABELLAWe almost kissed.... and it took my breath away for a second. He'd simply walked away, not saying a word. He was clearly annoyed, probably because he was interrupted. I must be driving him crazy. Well, I'm not going to give him what he wants that easily; he'll have to work for it.If manipulation is this easy, then maybe, just maybe, I can finally get my revenge.He's a mafia boss, a killer. He's not a good man. I shouldn't feel guilty. I can only trust myself. Everyone will betray me, in the end, even him.I rose and headed into the hallway, needing to assess the mansion's layout, find any secrets, any potential escape routes should he decide to kill me. I turned and saw three maids staring. Their gazes were cold, unwelcoming.The brown-haired maid rolled her eyes, and they began to whisper, not even bothering to hide it. "She's the Sterling heiress... the broke heiress.""Oh, I've heard about her," another chimed in. "The boss probably bought her. It's obvious what she offe

Chapter 9: I'll Break The World For You
ISABELLA"Why? Am I banned?" I asked, my voice soft, though a hint of annoyance crept in as I looked at Danica and Caspian. They really do deserve each other, I thought.How could I have fallen for such a repulsive man? I'd convinced myself he was perfect, but it was a lie. I'd been so focused on him that I'd fallen in love with the idea of marrying him, not with him as a person.Danica chuckled. "You're with Mr. Belluci? Did you really satisfy him enough for him to bring you somewhere like this?"I sighed. Dante was still in his car, talking on his phone with his capo. It must have been something important, because he'd told me to go in ahead of him. And then I'd run into these two leeches.I raised an eyebrow. "Danica, I'm not like you. I don't need to climb over people to get what I want."Caspian’s eyes shot on me, glaring at me like I hurt his little doll. “You have no right to insult, Danica!” "So, she has the right to insult me?" I retorted. "How ironic." I paused, glancing at

Chapter 10: He Waited A Year For Her
ISABELLAHe carefully placed the band-aid on the edge of my lip, then smiled, a gentle expression that seemed to erase the violence of moments before. "There. You're alright now."Dante and I stepped out of the car, and we went to another jewelry store. The manager recognized Dante immediately, and they rushed to attend to us, treating us like VIPs. The manager then proceeded to show us an array of incredibly expensive rings. I've never been one for jewelry, but when something catches my eye, I usually don't care about the price. Now, though, it was different. My bank account was frozen, leaving me with nothing. Damn it.Except for my father, I'd never asked a man to buy me a gift. But for the first time, I was experiencing what it felt like to be truly spoiled by a man. I glanced at Dante. He seemed completely unfazed by the prices, simply saying, "Choose whatever you like..."I smiled at the manager who was patiently waiting for me to choose. “Can I try it?” She smiled at me, “Of c
