Laura, a single mother, had recently moved into Lorenzo's home, hoping to provide her daughter, Isabella, with a father figure. She wasn't aware that the man she had fallen in love with was a devil—a Mafia boss who was there to ruin her life and that of her daughter. "Isabella, you are mine; you belong to me and no one else. Those who think about you are seeking death," Lorenzo said, raising her chin with a deep voice dripping with threat. Isabella's face was filled with defiance. "I hate you, Lorenzo." He cackled, "But you can't stop saying 'yes, Daddy,' which means your hate doesn't matter because I can't get enough of you, Isabel." Laura was more worried about having a sweet family, while Lorenzo was only interested in sex. “She is still a child; I am sure she will come around,” Lorenzo assured Laura when she expressed concern about Isabella not recognizing him as a father. Sleeping with a mother and daughter while being a crime ring boss—that is the way of a Mafia boss who will be ruined by a hot 18.
View MoreWhen Jake heard what Lewis said, he couldn't believe it. He turned to him, doubt creeping into his voice. "You want to divorce Isabella?"Lewis nodded, his expression resolute. "Yes. I can't live with the knowledge that she cheated on me. She had no respect for me—bringing another man into our home and sleeping with him on our matrimonial bed."Jake regarded Lewis thoughtfully. Growing up alongside him, he had witnessed how poorly Lewis handled his relationship with Isabella. He offered serious advice. "Don't be impulsive. Think it through before making such a big decision."Lewis nodded, but his gaze remained unwavering. "I know what I’m doing."Jake sensed that further persuasion was futile. A few hours later, Lewis left Jake's home and drove to his attorney's office.Once inside, he was invited to take a seat."Lewis, I was just about to call you..." the attorney began, but Lewis cut him off."I'm not here for that," he said, his face hardening.The attorney raised an eyebrow, wait
Lewis's heart raced when he saw Isabella turn to him, her bloodshot eyes brimming with tears. He quickly realized that someone must have sent her a photo of him and Alicia together.He took a deep breath, fighting the urge to comfort her, and instead envisioned the betrayal of Lorenzo with Isabella in their own bed. Anger surged within him, and he stormed into the bathroom, stripping off his clothes and stepping into the shower. The water cascaded over him, but it did little to wash away his turmoil.When he emerged, a towel wrapped around his waist, he found Isabella waiting for him, her expression a mix of hurt and fury. "Did you sleep with her?" she demanded.Lewis didn’t respond. Instead, he focused on selecting an outfit from the wardrobe, trying to keep his composure. Suddenly, Isabella sprang to her feet, rushing toward him and gripping his arm tightly. She thrust her phone in front of his face. As he feared, the photo was there—proof of his indiscretion. "Are you mute now? C
Lewis wasn't paying attention at all; instead, he interrupted Jake, wrapping his arm around Alicia's shoulders and asking, "How does she look? Is she prettier than Isabella, right?"Jake, caught off guard by the question, hesitated. He glanced at Alicia, who awaited his response, and then at Lewis, whose expression hinted at a brewing storm if he didn't say the right thing.With a forced smile, Lewis answered tentatively, "She’s really gorgeous. I think she’s prettier than Isabella. Can I borrow her for a sec?"After a reluctant nod from Lewis, he leaned in and whispered something to Alicia before slumping onto the couch, clearly drunk.Once Lewis had given his approval, Alicia stood up and followed Jake to a quieter corner where they could talk. "Hi, Alicia," Jake began. "My friend is actually having some issues with his..."Before he could finish, Alicia interrupted with a smile. "He told me everything."Jake’s lips twitched at her response, realizing just how poorly he had judged t
Jake wasn’t surprised. He had sensed that Isabella hadn’t truly moved on from Lorenzo, and he knew this day would eventually come. Still, he hadn’t anticipated it would unfold like this.He squatted down beside Lewis, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Bro, I know you’re hurting. Honestly, I’m not sure what to say that’ll make it better. Let’s get you changed first, and then we’ll go out for a drink.”Jake stood up, pulled Lewis to his feet, and led him inside.His girlfriend caught sight of them and raised an eyebrow at Lewis’s disheveled state. Jake shot her a glance, and she held back her questions.Once inside his room, Jake helped Lewis change into a fresh outfit. When they emerged, Jake approached his girlfriend. “Darling, I’m taking my brother out for a bit,” he said, leaning down to plant a quick kiss on her cheek.“Please come home soon, and be safe,” she replied, concern etched on her face.Jake nodded and left the house with Lewis, who had remained silent since he
Isabella clung tightly to Lewis, tears streaming down her face. She could hardly catch her breath as she pleaded, her voice trembling, "I didn't mean it, babe. I'm so sorry! I never wanted to cheat on you or hurt you. Please, forgive me."Lewis glared at her, his anger palpable. He shoved her away, and she stumbled back onto the bed. Without a word, he stormed out of the room, his intent clear: he was going to find Lorenzo and settle the score.Desperately, Isabella called after him, her voice breaking, "Lewis!"But he ignored her, consumed by rage. As he rushed through the doorways, he collided with Kone. Grabbing him by the collar, Lewis demanded, "Where is that bastard? Where's Lorenzo?"Kone shook his head, panic in his eyes. He had tried to stop Lorenzo from leacing earlier but hadn’t accounted for the gun Lorenzo was carrying. The fear of being shot had kept him from stopping him, and now he could only watch as Lewis's fury escalated.When Lewis received no response, his express
When Lorenzo heard this, anger surged within him, and he glared at Isabella, his face twisted with rage. Isabella felt a rush of tension as she met his fierce gaze.With a sneer, he threatened, "Isabella, you know Ben is my son. Loving Lewis will only lead to your downfall. When he discovers you’ve been lying, he’ll despise you. But if you love me, we can build a future together. I can give you everything you desire, and you and our son could have a life with me."Isabella couldn’t stand his delusions any longer. "You can't force love, Lorenzo. I will never learn to love you because you are a monster."His expression darkened, and in a moment of desperation, he grabbed her by the neck, bringing their faces inches apart. With reddened eyes, he pleaded, "Isabella, I love you so much. Why can’t you love me back? I want to give you my entire world. No one can love you like I do. I’ve risked everything for you. I would have lived in isolation, but I came looking for you because my love fo
Kone thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I don’t think so. Lorenzo has been visiting him at school since he came back, but he hasn’t made any move to take him away. I think he’s just trying to win Ben over, Boss..."As Kone spoke, he glanced at Lewis, who seemed troubled. Kone had his own suspicions—either Lorenzo was trying to steal Isabella from Lewis or Ben was Lorenzo’s son. He chose not to share these thoughts with his boss, sensing the tension in the room.Lewis clenched his fists, feeling a tightness in his chest at the thought of Isabella possibly leaving with Lorenzo. Kone pulled his gaze from the monitor and walked over to the telephone, calling room service to order breakfast. After hanging up, he noticed Lewis staring intently at the screen, unblinking. Kone could tell how deeply Lewis cared for his wife; the intensity of his expression spoke volumes.“Boss, you didn’t sleep well last night. You should try to rest a bit. I’ll keep an eye on things, and I’ll let
Lewis roared at him, “Shut up!”Kone stared at him in shock, shuddering at the sight of Lewis’s bloodshot eyes and the veins bulging on his face and neck. His fists were clenched so tightly that they crackled with tension.He had never seen Lewis this furious.That was when he realized that men in love could be the most terrifying beings in the world; they were capable of anything.With a sigh, Kone pursed his lips, fighting the urge to provoke Lewis further.Lewis turned away and punched the wall in frustration, repeatedly muttering to himself, “Isabella can never cheat on me.”Kone shook his head, recognizing that his boss was spiraling into denial.As Lewis pounded the wall, tears streamed down his face, and he shouted, “Isabella!”Unable to watch him injure himself any longer, Kone stood up and approached, wrapping his arms around Lewis. “Boss, that’s enough. We haven’t confirmed anything yet—don’t hurt yourself for nothing,” Kone cautioned, feeling helpless. Brutal honesty was n
After Isabella stepped back into her bedroom, she was taken aback to find Lorenzo sitting on her bed. His presence stirred a whirlwind of emotions within her; she felt both happiness and sadness at the sight of him.As Lorenzo lifted his gaze, she noticed his bloodshot eyes and tear-streaked face. Concern flooded her mind—what could be troubling him?He rose slowly, their eyes locking in a tense silence that stretched uncomfortably between them. The stillness was heavy, laden with unspoken words.“Isabel, I’ve thought a lot about everything,” Lorenzo finally broke the silence, his voice thick with emotion. “I know my love for you is wrong, and I wish I hadn’t fallen for you.” Regret clouded his expression.Isabella's heart ached. She understood that having Lorenzo around, with his persistent presence, was complicated, yet part of her cherished those moments they shared.Wiping away his tears, Lorenzo continued, “I think this is the last time we’ll see each other. After this, I’m leavi
It was still summer, and the open bar, though breezy, couldn't lighten the tension between the woman and the girl sitting by the pool.Laura gazed at her daughter Isabella, her face lined with worry and anxiety, unsure of how to begin."Mom, why are we here?" Isabella asked, confused after sitting in silence for two minutes.The table held only two bottles of water, and her mother hadn’t spoken since they arrived. They had just relocated to a new city, and Isabella was uneasy because her mother hadn't discussed their accommodations, despite her repeated questions during the journey.Laura took Isabella’s hands, her eyes meeting her daughter's with tension. She finally spoke, "Isabella, I found you a dad."Isabella’s reaction was one of disbelief, her eyes wide as if hearing an unfunny joke."What?" she exclaimed, shocked and incredulous."I'm sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. It’s been just us for the past eighteen years, but I’ve found someone I love. His name is Lorenzo, and he’s a goo...
