Lorenzo watched coldly, his eyes filled with fury, as Lewis was taken away. He was angry that he couldn't kill Lewis easily—not because he was afraid, but because Lewis's father was known for loving his son fiercely and would fly into a rage if he did.It would be troublesome dealing with him. He turned around and returned inside the house.When he walked in, he saw Isabella standing in the sitting room, looking anxious."Are you worried about him? Were you afraid that I was going to hurt him?" Lorenzo asked coldly, his eyes glinting with fury and killing intent; his unhappiness was very obvious.Isabella lowered her head in guilt. When she heard that Lorenzo was about to shoot Lewis, she suddenly panicked, not knowing the reason.But she quickly came out of her bathroom to check on what was going on and was relieved that Lorenzo hadn't hurt Lewis.When Isabella didn't reply, Lorenzo became even more furious. He stared at her coldly and licked his lips before saying, "You seem to like
Holding tightly to him with her eyes shut, Isabella replied in an inaudible voice, "Yes, I want to ride you, Daddy!" Without hesitation, Lorenzo swept her off her feet, placing her weight on his shoulder as he strode toward the door. He kicked it open and stepped out, then returned with another kick to shut it behind him.He carried Isabella through the backyard door, placing her feet on a chair. He sat back in an armchair, the backyard lightbulbs all switched off. Apart from the moonlight, there was no other source of illumination.Pulling down his zipper, he lowered his trousers and briefs, revealing his erect penis. "Come here, and make Daddy feel good with your mouth, little one," Lorenzo said in a deep voice.Isabella fell to her knees between his legs, stretching her arm to grab his erection. The sensation of her soft palm wrapped around him made Lorenzo sigh in pleasure. After stroking it twice, Isabella bent over and took him into her mouth."You’re learning quickly. Good girl,
But he forced a smile and then said tactfully, "Darling, let's talk about this in our room."Laura stared at him in confusion; he should be happy that they were about to have a baby together, but Lorenzo's reaction was too expressionless—there was no joy or sorrow.What confused her even more was when he suggested they shouldn't discuss it in Isabella's room."Why?" Laura mumbled, looking puzzled.Lorenzo laughed heartily before walking towards Laura. He kissed her forehead and then replied, "I don't want us to disturb Isabella; she is very tired. Let's allow her to rest."Although Laura was reluctant, she nodded and followed Lorenzo out of the room. After they left, Isabella opened her eyes.There was no sleepiness in her eyes at all; they were sharp and alert.Laura wasn't aware that Isabella was faking sleep. Lorenzo sat on the bed while he stared at Laura's face."Have you done a pregnancy test?" Lorenzo finally asked after keeping silent for an entire minute, which made Laura ver
Isabella's face was filled with disbelief, but when she felt suffocated, fear washed over her, and her face turned pale.Lorenzo released his clasp around her neck, then leaned forward, planting a soft kiss on her nape. He said softly, "Isabel, I love you so much. Whenever you say no to me, it doesn't only break my heart, it also drives me crazy. Promise me you will never say no to me."Isabella was shaken because this was the first time she had ever come close to death, which frightened her."I will never say no to you," she replied fearfully, her heart racing.Realizing that she was scared, Lorenzo planted soft kisses on her face and then said softly, "You shouldn't be scared, I love you so much, Isabel. I will never hurt you.""Isabel, what is taking you so long?" Laura's voice came from outside the house.She had been waiting for Isabella to join her so that she could put her on public transport before making a decision about the unborn child.But after waiting for a few minutes w
The police officer nodded and then looked towards Isabella before retreating inside the police car. The police car drove off after the officer sped away.Isabella looked towards Lorenzo with an askance expression. Lorenzo silently started the car, ignoring her look, and sped off.After several minutes of silent driving, Isabella couldn't hold back anymore."Lorenzo, why did you bring me here?" She had a feeling Lorenzo didn't bring her here for sex.Lorenzo glanced at her and remained quiet; instead of responding, he increased the speed of the car, frightening Isabella, who sat shaken by the sudden acceleration.The car's tires screeched on the tarred road when Lorenzo suddenly stepped on the brake. The car came to a sudden halt, causing Isabella to lose her balance in the seat and almost slam her head against the windshield, but the seatbelt held her back.Lorenzo, holding the steering wheel, said coldly, "Get out of the car."Isabella's face was creased with disbelief. She stared at
He put the pill bottle into his pocket and then walked towards the kitchen, where he started preparing lunch. After he was done, he slipped two pills into the meal and then served it at the dining table.He returned to the bedroom. Opening the door, he looked at Laura, who lay anxiously on the bed, her face creased with worry. Despite Lorenzo's assurances, she still felt uneasy."Darling, I prepared your favorite food, and not just for you, but for our unborn child too," Lorenzo added with a smile. When Laura heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her face.Lorenzo walked over, while Laura watched his face intently. He planted a kiss on her forehead and then looked deeply into her eyes before saying, "I love you so much, sweetheart."He took her hand and gave her palm a gentle kiss. After that, he scooped her up from the bed and carried her.With her arms curled around his neck, Laura didn't take her eyes off his face. She stared at him intently, moved by his romantic gestures.Lorenzo
Isabella stiffened in shock; she never expected Lorenzo to utter such a daring statement. But before she could even think of a response, she was swept off her feet and carried toward the bedroom."Stop, don't, please!" she panicked, her heart racing rapidly.But Lorenzo ignored her and continued to carry her. With a kick at the door, it creaked open, revealing Laura, who was lying on the bed, sound asleep.Laura's heart immediately stopped in panic and shock; she didn't expect Lorenzo to be so insane as to carry out what he had just said."Put me down, please!" Isabella pleaded anxiously, her face filled with panic. She struggled to get down, but Lorenzo held onto her, not even letting her go.When he finally put her down, he directly bent her over, pressing her face against the wall. Isabella panicked and cried out."Please, don't! Don't do this; she could wake up any time," Isabella pleaded anxiously, tears streaming down her face.The thought of her mother waking up seeing the man
The man raised his hands up in the air."Hey, man, we could talk things over. Can you put down the gun?" the new neighbor who had just moved in pleaded, his face creased with fear.Lorenzo's lips curled up, his eyes filled with coldness.Sneering, he retorted, "Really?"The man's heart skipped a beat when Lorenzo whipped out his phone and dialed Isabella's number.A few seconds later, Isabella's voice came from Lorenzo's phone speaker. "Hello, Lorenzo.""Lock the doors. Don't step out of the house no matter what," Lorenzo hung up directly after he was done speaking.When the man heard what Lorenzo said to the person he called, he had a bad premonition. In a panic, he turned around to retreat inside the house.But the moment his hand grabbed the door handle, he stiffened, standing still without moving. Blood oozed from his forehead, and his eyes lost their liveliness as the blood dribbled down his nose. He slumped to the floor.Lorenzo stood behind him with his arm holding the gun stre
When Lorenzo heard Chris's response, his white beard bristled with anger. He didn’t need a second to realize that Chris had tricked him yet again. The memory of the money he had burned just to ferry someone else's child to London ignited his fury. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Motherfucker, what’s your end game?"Chris remained calm, his demeanor unruffled. "I’m just protecting my grandchild, Lorenzo. You can’t expect me to sit back and let you take her away. I’m a grandfather now. Let me go see my baby girl in the hospital, and we can catch up later."A beeping sound came from the phone’s speaker. Lorenzo stared, dazed, confusion etched on his face. He knew Chris well—his talent lay in screwing people over, but lying wasn’t his style. The realization washed over Lorenzo like a cold wave. "She wasn’t pregnant with my child?" he muttered to himself, disbelief creeping in. After all his plotting, he had failed.In a fit of frustration, he grabbed a chair and smashed it a
Tony watched his boss with trepidation, unsure if it was the crushing defeat that had driven him to madness or the realization that he had nothing left to live for.Months slipped by in silence.Then, a piercing cry shattered the stillness from Isabella and Lewis's bedroom. Lewis, filled with anxiety, gently grasped Isabella's hand. "Babe, don’t be scared. I’ll take you to the hospital."Isabella, wracked with pain, tilted her head and bit down on Lewis's shoulder, her frustration spilling over. "It hurts so much!"Lewis gritted his teeth but remained steadfast, calling for help. The housekeeper and a few other staff members rushed in to help Isabella down the stairs.The commotion drew Ben's attention from his deep sleep. Rubbing his eyes, he emerged from his room, bewildered as he saw a crowd around his mother. By the time he fully registered the scene, Isabella had already been carried outside. He sprinted after them, only to find his father circling the car. "Dad, what’s wrong wi
At that moment, Lewis's dad regretted giving him the freedom to choose his own partner."Dad, I promise I won’t let him win," Lewis said, his voice steady and resolute.His father merely nodded, disappointment etched across his face as he waved him off. He felt let down by his only son."I'm sorry, Dad," Lewis said, his tone apologetic. He turned and walked out, getting into his car and heading home.When he arrived, Ben had already finished dinner and gone to bed, leaving only Isabella in the living room, waiting for him."Babe, welcome back," Isabella said, rising to greet him with a kiss on the cheek.Lewis managed a nod, forcing a smile. "Did you eat?" he asked.Isabella shook her head. "Not yet. I was waiting for you.""Alright, let’s have dinner," Lewis replied, heading to the dining table. They ate in silence, the weight of the day lingering in the air.Afterward, they went upstairs to their bedroom. Isabella didn’t pry into where he had been; she could see the exhaustion in hi
Isabella's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as Lewis's expression darkened. He didn't need to dig deeper; it was clear that Lorenzo had orchestrated this group of reporters.“Mrs. Isabella, how do you feel about cheating on your husband and dragging him into this shameful legal battle?”Another question quickly followed, and Isabella clung to Lewis, lowering her head to avoid the cameras flashing around them.The reporters, undeterred, turned their focus to Lewis, who stood protectively beside her. “Mr. Lewis, it’s impressive that you’re willing to stand by your wife. Not everyone would want to be in your position—having to defend her infidelity in court. Are you against divorce, or do you consider yourself a symbol of a ‘simp’?”The insults stung, igniting fury within Lewis, but he fought to keep his composure. Facing the camera, he replied with a sneer, “Stop judging me or my family. Those commenting on our situation need to understand that Isabella and I love each other, and nothi
After Lewis heard Lorenzo’s taunt, his expression darkened. He glared at Lorenzo, his fists clenching tightly until they crackled with tension. If they weren’t in court, he might have lost control.Lorenzo, noticing Lewis’s reaction, sneered in disdain. “Stop trying to scare me. You don’t look intimidating at all. Just give it a rest.”Lewis felt a twitch at the corners of his lips but took a deep breath, snorting coldly in response. “You can say whatever you want outside this courtroom, but know this: I will never let you get close to Isabella or Ben. They will never be yours.”With that, Lewis turned away and strode out, ignoring Lorenzo’s mocking voice behind him. “Stop thinking too highly of yourself; you can’t stop me!”Lewis walked into the courtroom with his entourage, leaving Lorenzo fuming as he followed suit. Lewis shot Lorenzo a cold glance before averting his eyes. They waited in tense silence until the judge finally entered.“All rise!” the clerk announced as the judge too
When Ben heard the question, confusion washed over him. Ever since his parents had picked him up from school, he’d felt an unsettling tension in the air. His face creased with worry as he looked at them, his anxiety palpable. "No, I want to stay with only you and Daddy," he replied, his voice trembling.Isabella, still unsure, pressed on. "Do you like any uncles? The one who usually visits you at school? Do you like him more than Daddy?"Although Ben appreciated the ice cream the uncle often brought, he didn’t like him in person. He pursed his lips, shook his head, and insisted, "I like only you and Daddy, and no one else."Isabella felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been worried for days, unable to sleep peacefully. Lewis, sensing her tension, remained silent, knowing why she was asking these questions.He gently patted Ben's head and promised, "We will never let anyone take you from us. Don’t be scared."But as soon as Ben heard this, memories of his past kidnapping floode
Lewis exclaimed in frustration, "We still don’t know his true intentions. If he’s after custody of Ben, I think he’ll fail. But if he just wants access, the court will likely grant it."Isabella's expression shifted as she considered the implications. If Lorenzo had regular contact with Ben, he could manipulate him. The thought of the court granting him access filled her with dread, especially given the possibility that he might try to kidnap Ben again."Is there nothing we can do?" Isabella asked anxiously, worry etched on her face.Lewis’s eyes lit up as he replied, "If we can establish a criminal record and present evidence of his past attempts to kidnap Ben and the trauma he caused, the court will likely favor us."Isabella felt a glimmer of hope, but it quickly faded when she realized they had no way of obtaining Lorenzo's criminal records."How do we get his criminal record and evidence of his illegal activities?" she asked, frustration creeping into her voice.Lewis thought for
The court bailiff didn’t linger; after delivering the letter, he left without delay. The atmosphere in the room was thick with tension, and Isabella’s face was etched with worry.When Lewis caught sight of her expression, he tried to reassure her, saying earnestly, “Don’t worry. I won’t let him take Ben. I’ll call my attorney to discuss our chances in this case.”Isabella felt a bit of relief at his words, but the worry didn’t fully dissipate. She fell into his arms and whispered, “Babe, I’m so grateful for you. I don’t know what I would do without you. You’ve brought happiness into my life and made it so much more colorful.”Hearing this, Lewis smiled and gently patted her back. “I’ll always be by your side. No matter what storms we face, I won’t let you go. My love for you is stronger than any challenge that lies ahead.”Isabella’s heart warmed at his words, and she leaned forward to kiss his cheek. Lewis then bent down to kiss her forehead.“Now, I should talk to my attorney,” he r
Lorenzo's face darkened, his eyes blazing with anger. He hadn’t anticipated Chris's interference, which was precisely why he had never factored him into his plans. If he had known Chris would step in, he wouldn’t have acted so recklessly, allowing himself to be outmaneuvered. He gritted his teeth, furious at having underestimated Chris’s duplicitous nature."He is my grandson," Chris replied with an unsettling smile, his tone casual and dismissive.Lorenzo was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected such a nonchalant response and stared at Chris, suspicion flickering in his mind. "Chris, stop trying to provoke me. What are you planning to do with Ben? You can't be genuinely nice without an ulterior motive. Are you secretly plotting to kill him later?"Chris blinked in surprise at Lorenzo's wild accusation. He had not expected him to jump to such conclusions."Stop assuming I'm going to harm him. I’m not as ruthless as you; I wouldn’t kill my own blood. Despite being your son, he i
