Author's POV The weeks passed quickly as David and Isabella settled into their new life in the villa. The walls that had once echoed with emptiness now hummed with warmth and laughter. Every morning brought new challenges, and every night ended with conversations that deepened their bond. Isabella was beginning to feel a sense of belonging, a flicker of hope that perhaps she could fully embrace this new chapter. While unpacking the last few boxes in the living room, Isabella heard a knock at the door. David was in the kitchen, preparing lunch, so she decided to answer it herself. As she opened the door, her heart dropped. Standing on the porch was Andrew, her ex, looking disheveled and desperate. “Isabella,” he said, his voice trembling. “Can we talk?” The shock made her freeze, her mind racing. “What are you doing here, Andrew? You shouldn’t be here.” “Please, just hear me out,” he pleaded, his eyes filled with a mixture of regret and urgency. “I know I messed up. I know I
Author's POV Andrew leaned back in the driver’s seat of his car, parked just a block away from Isabella’s new villa. His fingers tapped impatiently on the steering wheel, a smirk playing on his lips. The scene that had unfolded just minutes ago still replayed in his mind—the way Isabella had stood there, trying to appear strong, trying to push him away. But Andrew knew her. He knew she wasn’t over him, no matter how hard she tried to act like she had moved on.“David,” he muttered, his voice laced with anger. The name tasted bitter on his tongue. This guy, David, thought he could swoop in and take what Andrew had spent so long cultivating. Andrew had put in the time, charming Isabella, making her feel special. Sure, at first, it had been about her wealth, the comfortable lifestyle she could provide. She had money and old family money, and Andrew had never been one to shy away from taking what he wanted.He remembered the early days with Isabella, how easy it had been to win her over.
Author's POV Andrew paced the length of his apartment, his mind racing. The high from his confrontation with Isabella had started to fade, and now he was left with a feeling of urgency. He couldn’t just sit and wait for Isabella to come around. The regret, the apology act—it would only go so far. There was no further reaction from her side. It's no working as he planned. If he really wanted to drive a wedge between Isabella and David, he needed to think bigger. He needed something that would shake her to the core. He paused at the window, staring out at the city below. His thoughts circled around one idea, one person who stood in the way more than anyone, Sebastian, Isabella’s father. It was all his fault. 'That old man had snatched my Isabella from me. It was him, who brought David between our bond.' Sebastian had never liked Andrew and had always looked at him with cold suspicion. The old man had seen right through Andrew’s charm from the start. It had been subtle at first,
Author's POV The morning sky was heavy with gray clouds, casting an ominous shadow over the estate where Sebastian’s family had gathered. The news of his death had hit them like a storm. His car had been found wrecked on the side of a steep cliff road, yet his body had disappeared into the dark waters below. The rescue team had searched for days, but nothing surfaced. It was as if the earth had swallowed him whole. The family gathered outside the villa, their grief palpable as they awaited the arrival of more mourners. A black funeral canopy had been set up in the garden, and a memorial stone placed as a temporary marker in the absence of Sebastian’s body. Isabella stood by her mother, Bella, who was in shock, her face pale and gaunt. Isabella’s twin brother, Alonzo, had his arm around her shoulders, his jaw clenched in silent anger. "It doesn't feel real," Isabella whispered, her voice cracking. "How did this happen? Dad... he was supposed to come home that night. Everythin
