Chapter 22: The Buggy Man "What the hell is going on, Mr... and who are you?" Luca bellowed, his voice laced with fury. "Why the hell didn't Isabella tell me anything? How could she keep this from me?""My name is Ricardo and I'm a friend of Isabella," Ricardo said to Luca "Calm down, Isabella has her reasons. She worries about your safety. She was trying to protect you, to ensure your safety," Ricardo explained to him. Luca clenched his fists, his jaw twitching with pent-up frustration. "Protect me? From what? Bruno!!! It's time we teach him a lesson... Come on, I am the man here. I am the one meant to protect her, not the pi other way around! What's going on? Speak, damn it!"Ricardo took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully. "Bruno has taken Isabella's father hostage.

Now, give me my money," he said to Bruno. Then Bruno replied to him, "Good job. Also, what about the girl?"

I won't hesitate to kill that girl."With that, Mr. Wick ended the call and took a deep breath, trying to
Chapter 24: New BeginningLuca woke up in a cold sweat. He had been having the same nightmare again, the one where Bruno shot Isabella. He sat up in bed and tried to calm his racing heart.He looked over at Ricardo, who was still asleep. Luca reached over and shook him awake."Ricardo," he said. "I had the dream again."Ricardo opened his eyes and looked at Luca. "What dream?" he asked."The one where Bruno shoots Isabella," Luca said. "I am worried. We need to do something."Ricardo nodded. "I know," he said "I have been thinking about it and I have been making some calls. That place is heavily guarded. It's as if Bruno is going to war in Vietnam. There are about more than thirty guards. He got there well-protected." "We can't just give up," Luca said. "We have to find a way to get her back.""I know," Ricardo said. "But we need to be careful. Bruno is a dangerous man. If we are not careful, we could get ourselves killed.""I know you are not," Ricardo said. "But we need to think th

When Luca and I were together, nothing else mattered. Our love was pure and true, and it gave me a joy that I had never felt before. It all started when I met Luca at a charity event.

Bruno, a man who is obsessed with me has turned things sour. He
Chapter 26: Cracks in the Plan"Hello! Luca, it's me, Isabella," she whispered, her voice tinged with urgency, as she hid in a secluded spot to make the call."Isabella, is that really you?" Luca's voice quivered with emotion on the other end of the line.With haste, Isabella continued, barely able to contain her anxiety. "Listen, Luca, I don't have much time. Bruno has unleashed twenty-four-hour surveillance on me. They're monitoring my every move. Right now, I'm evading that insufferable bodyguard, Marco, just to make this call. I'm using a burner phone to ensure our conversation can't be traced back to your location."Luca's concern was evident in his voice as he exclaimed, "What do you mean, no time? Isabella, this is madness!"A sense of urgency fueled Isabella's words as she pressed on. "You have to trust me, Luca. Whatever plans you had to rescue me, you need to halt them immediately. Staying there poses a greater danger. Bruno is a monster, but I'll be safe as long as I comply
