"What?" Joseph asked with his wide eyes and Gio smirked at him and then nodded his head after a few seconds. "What do you mean by that Giovanni?" Joseph asked and Gio guards are on full alert to grab him if he tried to attack Gio again and He chuckled looking up at him. "Relax, Joseph... Why are you stressing out? Isn't it normal to collect the person debts from their family after their death?" Giovanni asked raising his eyebrows."No." Joseph answered and Gio raised his eyebrows."Come on... What do you mean by no, Joseph?" Giovanni asked."I mean... No! Because the money I took from you is my responsibility and not my family. My family did nothing wrong to suffer!" Joseph answered and Giovanni frowned staring deeply into his eyes."Then... what about my money? Is it a loss for me?" Giovanni asked with his dark voice with angry expressions. Joseph blinked as he noticed his eyes suddenly changed... from his dark orbs to red... and suddenly changed into his original."What was that?
“DAD!” Isabella yelled as she walked inside the Willow Mansion. Tears rolled down in her as she saw everyone around standing together and was waiting for her to come home. Then, her eyes fell on her Dad’s pictures with all the flowers around him. Then her eyes fell on the casket in front of him. “Isabella...” Cassy called as she ran towards her.“Mom...” Isabella called as Cassy hugged her tightly.“Your dad... He passed away my child.” Cassy said as she started crying on her shoulder. Isabella was shocked... She just couldn't think straight right now. Because, she remembered her Dad talking yo her just yesterday and how can this happen so suddenly? How can he die? What had happened that he had to die? Is this why, he wanted to talk to her before... Going to bed? That is... Before he going to die? Didn't he even think once about his family before choosing to take his life away? What will happen to his family if he passed away like this? What happened that her father couldn't bare
“Isabella... Let's go home.” Casey said as she grabbed Isabell’s shoulders but Isabella shook her head as she looked up at her mother.“No... Mom. How can we leave Dad alone here?” Isabella asked and tears rolled down from Casey’s eyes.“Bella... We need to go. Let your dad go... Peacefully.” Casey said and Isabella shook her head as she pushed her mother’s hands away from her shoulders.“I am not leaving my Dad. I want him back!” Isabella yelled out loud and Casey sighed.“I understand, Sweetie... My love, we will come back here... Tomorrow again. But, lets go home for now. Please...” Casey said and Isbella looked at her father’s picture with tears.“Let's go, Isabella.” Daniel said as he slowly held her by her arms and made her get up on her feet.The three slowly walked out of the graveyard and Casey noticed how the paparazzi is waiting for them. Daniel nodded at them and wrapped his arms around Isabella to protect her and covered his hand over her face. They noticed the cops waiti
“What nonsense are you talking, Mom?” Isabella asked and Casey sighed as Isabella took a back knowing about her father. She never thought that her dad will be anything but... Gambler? “I am saying the truth!” Casey answered wiping off the tears away from her eyes.“After you left for Hong Kong... It's just started as fun... But it's become as an addiction to him!” Casey said taking a deep breath and Isabella shook her head.“I will trust anything you say... But, no... I am not trusting this... If you say my dad is a gambler... Never! I will never accept that!” Isabella yelled and Casey closed her eyes sighing and just then Daniel stopped the car in front of the Smith Mansion. Isabella immediately opened the car door and got out of the car. But before she walks aways, paparazzi surrounded around her making her lean against the car. They suddenly surrounded around her without giving her time to figure out and started pushing her making her feel dizzy. Daniel and Casey immediately
“Before you say anything... I think, you guys should eat something.” Giovanni said making Casey snap her head at him.“Huh?” Casey asked and Isabella frowned at him.“You guys didn't have anything since yesterday... I can understand that. But, I think, before we talk about anything, you guys should at least have something. Seeing you, I can understand that you don't at all have strength.” Giovanni said and Casey blinked her eyes. She thought, Giovanni is here to demand his money... She was she's that, he would yell at them to give his money back. She was almost going to burst out thinking, he would have been super anger at the but suddenly, he switched his personality to calm and silent. She was unsure about what had suddenly happened to Giovanni that he started caring at them? “Mom... Can we talk please?” Isabella asked.“I think, I know what you are worried about.” Giovanni answered making Isabella frown at him. They both looked at each other and as soon as they both looked at ea
“Come on let’s go and sit” Giovanni rushed them to the dining table while Casey and Isabella looked at him like he was some alien. Isabella isn’t still over her father’s death, his funeral and his face still running in her head on repeat, her heart squeezing with pain every time his face flashed in front of her eyes. Casey was feeling awkward and uncomfortable, to have a man in their house when her husband’s funeral was just done, whatever his intentions were. Isabella isn’t having a good feeling either. She knows he’d ask for money too and the fact that they can’t pay it at that moment made her feel humiliated all of a sudden. Everyone who came to the funeral, it felt like they’d ask to pay the debts as soon as possible. Given that he is dead and the amount is more, there is no way they’d give them much time. “Come let’s have lunch” He said, pulling a chair for them, his actions made Isabella grow more nervous and scared. It feels like his every action and word is filled with sa
“Isabella” Casey called for her daughter as she sat on the couch, determined to make her agree about the offer Giovanni made regarding a choice that’d change their lives forever. She is hell bent on getting Isabella married to Giovanni, after all their whole life depends on it and she can’t afford to lose everything. She knows no one could pay the debts her late husband did, the impossible amount he took could directly land Casey and Isabella into prison, as they can’t pay it and they’d forever be in debts, begging money from everyone. The mere thought sent shivers down Casey’s spine. Afterall, all she wanted was a luxurious life and she’d go to any extent for it. And she finds it unfair that she has to pay the debts her husband made. And when a golden opportunity presents itself in front of her, on the cost of giving her daughter’s life for three years, she doesn’t find it unfair anymore. She won’t have debts anymore and she’d get to live the life she wanted. And the thought of
“Hello” Casey’s voice shivered as she called the man who dealt with them to get her daughter married for three years and produce his heir. Isabella sat beside her mother, clutching her hand as she heard his voice as the mobile was on speaker. “Yes Mrs.Willow?” His voice was more like mocking and Isabella could feel his cockiness even through the call. “I assume you called me to tell me your decision?” He rasped after a moment, a wide smirk on his face as he waited for her to speak. “Yes Mr.Accardi” Casey stammered. “So is your daughter ready? Or should the investors who invested in your husband contact the cops?” Giovanni could feel his lycan wolf getting excited at the answer. He knows the answer but hearing it would calm the beast inside him. Tapping the desk that he was working on, he waited for her to speak. Isabella glared at the mobile, as if it was him. She can’t believe she accepted that shitty deal. But she doesn’t have any option. She was stuck and she was helpless, h
