Aiden leaned against the kitchen counter, his eyes fixed on Jasmine as he playfully posed the question that had been nagging him. "When will your husband come back?" he asked, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes. Without missing a beat, he gave her a light spank on her behind, grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl as if it were the most natural thing in the world.Jasmine, caught off guard by the unexpected spank, stumbled slightly, causing her grip to falter on the teacup she was reaching for.

“It's not gonna happen, Aiden. I am married right now. Even though, Giovanni my husband is dead. That old lady will kill me as well. She won't let me live peacefully.

Jasmine's eyes widened at Aiden's unexpected response. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. The intensity in his voice and the determination in his eyes sent shivers down her spine.

"I know it won't be easy, Aiden. That old lady is cunning and ruthless. She won't stop until she tears us apart. But we can't let fear rule our lives. We have to be s

Ryle's infectious giggles echoed through the air as they engaged in a lighthearted game, momentarily pushing aside the weight of their unresolved emotions.However, beneath the surface, their hearts remained entangled in a complex web of desires and uncertainties.

She knew it was time to face the consequences and reveal the depths of her feelings to Giovanni's family.Giovanni and Adam exchanged puzzled glances, sensing the gravity of Isabella's words. They were aware of the complexities surrounding their love for her, but they never anticipated the revelation she was about to make.Taking a moment to steady herself, Isabella continued, her voice filled with a mix of trepidation and a resolve to face the truth head-on. "I want to be honest with your family, Giovanni and Adam. They deserve to know the reality of our situation. And Giovanni, you can’t keep cheating on your wife. Because of greed, I was in this relationship if not, I would never marry a married man.” Giovanni's eyes widened in shock, the realization of the potential consequences sinking in. He knew all too well that his family, particularly his
“Isabella is your second wife... It's illegal to marry another when you are already married to someone. Do you think Jasmine will be happy knowing this? You are cheating on her as Isabella said.” Adam said and Giovanni shrugged. Giovanni's nonchalant shrug only fueled the flames of Adam's frustration."I can't do anything. I love Isabella too," Giovanni admitted, his voice tinged with resignation.

Adam nodded in agreement, silently acknowledging the profound implications of this revelation.As they turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, their eyes scanned the room, searching for any sign of Isabella.
