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 MoreIsabella instinctively covered her breast with her arm and tightly clasped her legs together, her heart racing. Glancing at the slightly ajar bathroom door, she noticed Lorenzo had stepped back. In a hurry, she finished her bath and swiftly wrapped herself in a towel.After she emerged from the bathroom, Isabella noticed that Lorenzo had left the room. Quickly, she locked the door and exhaled in relief.She didn't dare venture outside, still shaken by the fear that Lorenzo have barged in while she was bathing.A knock at the door made her heart skip a beat."Isabella, are you in there?" It was her mother, Laura's voice coming from the other side.Isabella's racing heart calmed, and she hurriedly opened the door. Upon seeing her mother, she fell into her embrace and burst into tears."Mom," she sobbed.Laura's face was filled with confusion, but she gently patted her daughter's back, comforting her with concern. "Sweetheart, what's the matter?"Isabella didn't speak; she just wept in
Laura's face was etched with distrust and doubt; it was clear she didn’t believe a word Isabella had just said. She suspected that Isabella didn’t like Lorenzo and was trying to convince her to abandon their relationship.Taking Isabella's hands, Laura sat her down and, locking eyes with her, said earnestly, “Isabel, Lorenzo is a good man. He will be a wonderful father to you. Please give him a chance. He even welcomed us into his home—remember, this isn’t just ours.”Hearing her mother's response, Isabella felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. She hadn't expected her mother to doubt her."If you say so," Isabella sighed, resigning herself to the situation."Come on, let’s have dinner," Laura said, offering her daughter a warm smile.They both went out together and had dinner with Lorenzo, who kept stealing glances at Isabella, making her feel uneasy. She avoided his gaze and ate quickly. After stacking the used plates, she took them to the kitchen to wash them.As she was bus
Isabella's face was a picture of confusion. The unexpected fame left her speechless; she hadn't even completed the necessary formalities to be assigned to a class, yet her name was already known by a group of boys.One of them chuckled and said, "Laura is her surname. Doesn't that mean she doesn't know who her father is?"At this, Isabella felt a tightness in her chest. This had always been her soft spot; she had hoped that moving to a new city would help her escape it, but here it was, haunting her once again.The group of boys erupted in laughter at her expression, their eyes glinting with mockery as they snickered."Her mother must be a bitter single mom," the leader sneered, his laughter booming.Isabella's fists clenched tightly at her sides, anger boiling within her at the disrespectful jab aimed at her mother."Excuse me," she said, her words sharp and laced with fury, her face contorted and her eyes bloodshot.As she tried to move past, the fat boy who had led the group steppe
Isabella stopped trying to convince her mother when she realized her words weren’t being taken seriously. “Isabel, your dad is waiting for us. Let’s head to dinner,” Laura called from the doorway. With a sigh, Isabella set the book she had been reading on her bed and followed her mother out of the room.Lorenzo was already seated at the dining table when he spotted Isabella, and a smile spread across his face. "I've prepared dinner for us. My cooking may not be perfect, but I promise you'll enjoy it."Laura returned his smile warmly. "I've tasted your cooking before; you're the best I've ever known. If every man cooked like you, women would fall in love every day," she said, playfully flattering him.Lorenzo chuckled, his gaze lingering on Isabella for a moment before he spoke again. "Enough of the pleasantries, let's eat."They all sat down and enjoyed the meal in comfortable silence.After they finished eating, Laura turned to Isabella and said, "I've finalized the transfer. You ca
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 accommodation, 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
