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 overweight boy who had led the group stepped in front of her, towering over her. In a menacing tone, he warned, "Nobody walks out on Biggie, you hear me, little girl?"
Just then, a voice cut through the tension. "Hey! Who do we have here?"
All eyes shifted to a girl chewing gum, her blonde hair swaying as she walked over with a smile, gripping her backpack tightly.
Biggie's face darkened when he saw her. He looked a bit defeated as he warned, "Cecilia, this has nothing to do with you."
Cecilia chuckled, glanced at Isabella, and then said thoughtfully, "Biggie, why are you bullying the new girl? Are you interested in her? Do you want to date her?"
When Biggie heard these comments, he bared his teeth in anger but stayed silent, looking upset and annoyed.
"I heard from Rose that you have the tiniest dick in school, barely lasting a minute, and you were sweating and panting after just ten strokes. Instead of being in the gym and consulting doctors for help, you're here bullying girls. That won't make your manhood bigger." After finishing her remarks, Cecilia shook her head, looking at him pityingly.
The onlookers erupted into laughter.
Biggie's face turned crimson with embarrassment, and his whole body shook as he pointed at Cecilia with a trembling hand, stuttering, "Y-you..."
Cecilia blinked innocently, rolling her eyes before teasingly saying, "If I'm lying, why don't you just take off your pants and show everyone what's down there?"
The laughter erupted even louder, and unable to bear it any longer, Biggie turned and fled, his tail tucked between his legs.
Isabella was surprised. She hadn't expected Biggie, who seemed so tough and intimidating, to be scared off so easily by just a few words from Cecilia.
Turning to Cecilia, Isabella said gratefully, "Thank you. Without your help, I wouldn't have gotten rid of them so easily."
Cecilia waved off the appreciation and replied, "No need to mention it. Let's introduce ourselves properly. I'm Cecilia, and you are?"
"Isabella."
Cecilia nodded, and they began chatting as Cecilia led Isabella to the admissions block to complete her physical validation. When Isabella came out, she saw Cecilia still waiting for her.
"I'm really grateful for your help. I don't know how to thank you," Isabella said, her voice full of gratitude.
Cecilia smiled and replied, "Just be my friend, and we'll call it even."
"Deal," Isabella agreed, and they both laughed, chatting as they walked down the corridor to their classroom.
During their conversation, Isabella discovered that Cecilia was in the same class as her.
Isabella remembered what Cecilia had said to Biggie and became curious.
"Was it true, what you told him?" she asked.
Cecilia nodded. "Absolutely. I heard it from Rose. She even has his nude photo on her phone. Don’t worry, I'll add you to our school girls' W******p group chat so you can get all the details."
Isabella was surprised to learn about the group chat. Her former school didn't have anything like it, and this made her even more interested in Cecilia.
When they entered the classroom together, they immediately drew attention. Isabella, in particular, caught the eyes of all the boys, who looked at her with admiration.
"Wow, she's gorgeous," one boy said boldly.
"Back off," Cecilia retorted. "She's not into kids like you. She's interested in men, and you’re just boys." Then she led Isabella to her desk.
They became desk mates.
When their teacher entered, the chatter ceased. At noon, they went outside for a break, but with Cecilia around, Isabella was no longer troubled by Biggie and his goons. Cecilia showed her around the school, including the sports facilities.
She also took Isabella to the locker room and showed her her personal locker so she wouldn't have any trouble getting ready for physical education.
After classes ended for the day, Isabella exchanged contact information with Cecilia and then took the school bus home, which dropped her off in front of her house.
Getting off the bus, she walked inside the house with a smile on her face. Opening the screen door, she was shocked to see Lorenzo wearing only briefs while moving around the sitting room.
Seeing the bulge in his crotch area, Isabella felt uncomfortable instantly. When Lorenzo saw her staring at him, he asked, with a smile on his face, "Want some?"
Isabella's throat dried up immediately. She awkwardly replied, "No."
Then she gripped her school bag tightly and fled into her room, bolting the door shut. Her heart raced uncontrollably.
After gazing at Lorenzo's sculpted physique, a rush of emotions flooded her that she had never felt before. She couldn't bring herself to leave the room.
When lunchtime arrived, a firm knock echoed through the door, followed by Lorenzo's deep voice. "Lunch is ready. Would you like some? I made your favorite."
His voice sent a jolt of adrenaline through her, quickening her heartbeat. Her lips felt parched, and as she replied, they trembled slightly. "I’m not hungry; I just had a bite before coming home."
Lorenzo didn’t pressure her; he simply replied, “Alright,” and left.
Isabella didn’t leave her room until she heard Laura’s voice at the door. She quickly opened it, and upon seeing her daughter, Laura’s face filled with worry.
“Isabel, are you okay? Lorenzo told me you skipped lunch,” Laura said, her tone laced with concern.
“Mom, come in. I need to talk to you,” Isabella urged, pulling her mother into the room and shutting the door behind them.
Sitting on the bed, Laura looked at her daughter with a questioning expression. After a few moments of hesitation, Isabella nervously spoke up, “Mom, Lorenzo walks around naked."
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, “Isabella, 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 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 that 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 might 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, calling 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
Isabella knew that without tape evidence, her mother wouldn't believe a word she said. When she pushed the door open, the moaning became louder.To her shock, her gaze fell on Lorenzo, who was sitting in a chair, staring intently at the television. The couch he was sitting on backed against the entrance door, so he didn't notice Isabella's arrival.Then Isabella shifted her gaze toward the direction he was looking, and to her shock, she saw a man with a BBC pinning down a young girl while hitting her from behind.The way the girl moaned and how the man handled her roughly filled Isabella with a tingling sensation she had never felt before. Her nipples suddenly hardened, and she clamped her legs together, feeling a rush of heat.Her clumsy gesture caught Lorenzo's attention. He paused the video he was watching and craned his head toward Isabella's direction.He gasped in shock and pretended to turn off the television. "Isabella, you’re back from school?" he asked, stating the obvious.I
Cecilia and Isabella's attention was caught, not out of curiosity, but because the name called was the same as the one who had sent the letter to Isabella."That is the school hunk," Cecilia introduced, sounding a little disinterested.Isabella watched with interest as a young lady walked up to him. They were too far away to hear what they were saying, but she could guess that the girl meeting him was trying to woo him."Stop staring at him. He has never dated anyone, and there is a rumor that he is gay. He is the captain of the basketball team, with so many girls falling over him, but he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Sigh... it would be terrible to look so good and then be impotent," Cecilia lamented, looking like someone who had lost a million dollars.Isabella started laughing."Cecilia, stop saying what you don’t know..." Isabella chuckled in reply.Just then, a shadow fell over them. Looking up, Cecilia was shocked to see that the owner of the shadow was Lewis. He flashed a smile at
The moment Cecilia heard this, her eyes widened, and she gasped audibly.Isabella, feeling uneasy, quickly covered her mouth with her palm and gestured at him, "Sssshhh!"Cecilia shook her head before Isabella let go. When she could finally speak, Cecilia asked, looking curious, "Is it big?"Isabella blushed in embarrassment but still nodded, her face red as a tomato. Cecilia wanted to say more, but the electric bell rang, warning them that lessons were about to start for the day.Cecilia pulled her to class, and when it was break time, both of them walked to the canteen. As they were walking, they heard Lewis calling out to Isabella, "Isabella!"When Cecilia saw her walking toward them, she smiled and muttered under her breath, "Isabella, the school hunk seems to be crazy about you. I’ll grab our lunch."She left the two of them to discuss privately.When Lewis walked over, he stood before Isabella and said, "Hey.""Hey," Isabella replied.Lewis stuck his hand in his pocket, appearing
Isabella clamped her legs together.Lorenzo didn’t do more than that; he let her go and walked toward the dining table, where he started dishing out food after they finished eating.While Isabella was washing the plates in the kitchen, Lorenzo turned on the television. When the screen came on, he selected a scene where a stepfather and daughter were making out.Isabella walked in halfway through, just as the stepdaughter was going down on her stepfather. She stood there, not intending to leave.He craned his head and looked in her direction, saying, "Come here and sit with me; let’s watch together."Isabella subconsciously walked over and sat beside him, the two of them sitting side by side, their gazes glued to the television screen. Beads of sweat gathered on Isabella's forehead; she felt both nervous and anxious, which only increased her arousal. When Lorenzo sensed her discomfort and heightened desire, he pulled down his pants, exposing his erect penis that pointed toward the ceil
"Looking at Isabella's perky breasts, Lorenzo swallowed hard. He could barely hold back, but he didn't make a move; instead, he instructed her on how to stimulate herself to climax."Rub it faster!" Lorenzo said."Then put your nipples inside your mouth," he added, warning sternly, "Don't stifle your moans. Daddy wants to hear you moan loudly while you do it.""Yes, yes! Aahhh!" Isabella's moans grew louder, her chest heaving as her fingers rubbed her clit faster. She grabbed her breasts and moaned, beads of sweat gathering on her forehead.Then her legs started shaking as she cried, "It is so sweet, it is so sweet!"She trembled and almost fell off the chair as she squirted. Lorenzo chuckled and praised her, saying, "You are a squirter; that is great. Go and wash off so that you won't be late for school tomorrow."Isabella stared dazedly. She felt weak yet satisfied; the feeling she had just experienced was heavenly—one she hadn’t felt in her entire life.Although Isabella was relucta
Isabella's face fell. She wanted to inquire about the reason, but Lorenzo walked directly inside the room. Feeling disappointed and sad, her phone began to ring. She quickly left the sitting room to answer her ringing phone in her room.A glance at the phone's screen revealed a call from Cecilia.She answered the call, and Cecilia's voice blared from the phone's speaker. "Isabella, where the hell are you? It’s 7 PM! Lewis has been calling, but you haven’t been picking up! Don't tell me you're skipping Mariam's birthday!"That's when Isabella remembered she should be preparing for the party rather than thinking about watching p**n with her mother's boyfriend.She smacked her forehead and bemoaned, "I am so stupid; I forgot.""Good, get your delaying ass ready and quickly get over here with Lewis," Cecilia snapped before ending the call abruptly.After Cecilia hung up, Isabella took a quick shower and changed into a sexy strapless short gown that showed off her thighs. She tied her hair
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
