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
The deputy sheriff stared at him with cold eyes, knowing too well that Lorenzo was lying.He was aware of the crime files on Lorenzo piling up in his office, but there was nothing he could do because someone higher in rank was protecting him. With a team of attorneys backing him in court, it was just a waste of time to sue him without proper evidence."A day will come, Lorenzo, when you won't be able to live freely and act recklessly," the deputy sheriff warned sternly.But Lorenzo shrugged his shoulders and ignored him, walking into the house through the entrance. Once inside, he saw Isabella watching a movie and laughing.He glanced at the television screen and frowned. Noticing that all the windows were open, he furrowed his eyebrows. He remembered instructing her to close the windows. Did she disobey him once again?Realizing this, Lorenzo was infuriated that Isabella wasn't carrying out his orders one hundred percent."Isabella," he called out to her with a growl, his face dark a
Lorenzo's lips curled as he pulled her up and planted a kiss on her forehead, then on her cheek. He whispered to her, "Not today, Isabel. Today is for your mother. I am going to propose to her," Lorenzo replied firmly, then pulled Isabella from his embrace.Isabella stared at him in shock; she never believed that she would be rejected by Lorenzo.Seeing the shock on her face, Lorenzo's eyes flickered with a glint. Retracting his gaze, he continued his cooking.Isabella's face was filled with disbelief; she didn't understand the reason she was rejected by Lorenzo. She was heartbroken and had lost her self-confidence.She stood there, pondering what went wrong, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of any reason. So she mustered up the courage and asked helplessly, "Why?"When Lorenzo heard this question, he didn't answer immediately. He turned off the cooker before facing Isabella. "Isabel, your mother is in the hospital, and all you think about is sex. What kind o
Isabella pushed him and said angrily, "All men are the same; you all are scum."Lewis looked at Isabella in confusion. Although he couldn't figure out what she meant, he could guess that she had been heartbroken and cheated on.He held her arms forcefully and yelled, "Isabella, anyone who ever thinks you are not enough is worse than scum and doesn't deserve you. You should only be the one, because no one else could compare to you. You are not only beautiful, Isabella; no other girl out there could compare to you."After listening to Lewis, Isabella stopped struggling and fell into deep thought. She pondered seriously over his words and instinctively asked, "How about my mother?"Lewis stared at her in confusion.That was when Isabella snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Forget whatever I said."She lowered her head and wanted to walk away, but Lewis didn't let her go. He asked her, "Where are you going, Isabella?"Isabella opened her mouth and closed it in confusion, but she had no
When Isabella's gaze met Lorenzo's cold eyes filled with wild anger, she clung to Lewis in fear."Don't be scared; I am with you, Isabella," Lewis assured her after noticing her fear.Jake stood behind them, trembling. He had witnessed Lorenzo's ruthlessness and knew he gave the impression that he could kill anyone if he was made unhappy."Lewis, I think we should leave immediately," Jake urged, covered in sweat, his fists tightly clenched.Lewis didn't even look back; he stared at Lorenzo coldly, appearing fearless. Jake smiled helplessly, having forgotten how hot-headed Lewis could be once he made up his mind.Step by step, Lorenzo strode toward them, moving briskly. Within a few minutes, he was close to both of them.He reached out with his right arm to grab Isabella, but Lewis stood in his way, hiding Isabella behind him.Lorenzo's eyes turned cold as he asked in a deep, threatening voice, "Do you want me to warn you a second time to stay away from Isabella?"Lewis stared at him c
Before Isabella could give a response, his fingers slipped into her pussy."Um..." Isabella gasped, and then held onto Lorenzo.Lorenzo continued planting soft kisses all over her face, and neck, while whispering softly and fingering her "Isabella, I will never hurt you, because I love you more than my life"He began to finger her faster."I love you too, daddy," Isabella cried out while moaning.She didn't care whether they were doing this in an open place, and anyone could see them in the act, all she wanted was the pleasure while ignoring the consequences."Do you want me inside you?" Lorenzo asked while moving his fingers in and out slowly.Isabella nodded rapidly and then answered "Yes, I want you to fuck me!"Hearing this from her, Lorenzo held her arm and turned her, while she faced the big tree, he bent her over and then took off the pulled down what she wore.The moment he exposed her bare buttocks, he also removed his belt releasing his hard dick, Isabella arched backward, s
Isabella lowered her head, feeling guilty. Seeing her reaction, Lewis's heart turned cold. He couldn't believe Isabella would choose Lorenzo, who didn't treat her any better, over him. He was filled with anger."Little kid, be mindful of how you call my daughter; her father is right before you," Lorenzo warned sternly, uncomfortable hearing Lewis refer to Isabella possessively.Lewis turned around and started walking away. Isabella, staring at his receding back, felt her heart skip a beat. She suddenly called out, "Lewis!"This made Lorenzo angry; he grabbed her arm.Lewis paused briefly, glancing in her direction with tears in his eyes. He then retracted his gaze and continued walking away. Jake glared at Isabella coldly before walking off. The police officers turned around and left as well, leaving Isabella and Lorenzo all by themselves."Isabella, always remember this: you shouldn't think of any other man except me. You belong to me. I will take this as an error; next time, I won't
When Isabella heard the veiled threat in Lorenzo's voice, her grip on the steering wheel tightened, and her hand trembled as she slammed on the brakes, panic rising within her.“What kind of monster are you, Lorenzo? Using your own son to threaten me? That’s disgusting,” she shot back.Lorenzo just sneered, his indifference palpable. “Anything for you, baby," he replied before abruptly hanging up.Staring at her phone, Isabella felt a whirlwind of emotions wash over her—confusion and frustration mixing in a chaotic blend. She rested her forehead on the steering wheel, dreading the thought of meeting Lorenzo. His unpredictability lately made her fear he might actually go through with his threats.Reluctantly, she stepped out of the car, anxiety gnawing at her. She worried that Lewis would divorce her if he discovered that Ben wasn’t his son, especially after he had caught her in bed with Lorenzo.Walking quickly, she avoided the gaze of the street surveillance cameras, her heart racing
When Isabella heard her father's words, she staggered in shock, unable to comprehend what he was saying. She stared at him, wide-eyed, struggling to believe that he was aggressively pressuring her to harm her own son.“Dad…” she called out, her voice trembling with disappointment and heartache.Chris replied coldly, “Isabella, I’m doing this for your own good. With that child around, you’ll never know true happiness. Lorenzo will use him to make your life miserable. Why can’t you see that? You need to get rid of him.”Tears streamed down Isabella's face, her disappointment deepening. “Lies! You’re only doing this because he’s tied to your enemy. You’re being selfish!”Despite her accusations, Chris remained unmoved, his tone unyielding. “Isabella, stop being so stubborn. This is the right choice if you want to keep your marriage and live happily. Don’t ruin what you had with Lewis. There’s only so much he can tolerate—don’t push him beyond that.”Isabella clenched her fists, refusing
Lewis leaned weakly against the car, muttering to himself, "I’m terrified of losing you, Isabella. I’m so scared."Isabella, hearing his heartfelt words, felt a wave of emotion wash over her. She rushed to him, deeply touched by his sincerity. "Babe, you will never lose me. No one can take me away from you—not even death. I’ll be buried wherever you are. I love you."She wrapped her arms around him tightly, offering comfort. "I promise I’ll never make you feel unloved again. I will always be by your side."They remained in each other's embrace, listening to the steady rhythm of their heartbeats in silence. After a while, Isabella lifted her head and leaned in for a kiss.Lewis lowered his head, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. When they finally pulled away, Isabella smiled and suggested, "Let’s go home. I’ve missed sleeping beside you.""Okay," Lewis replied without hesitation, echoing her sentiment.As they drove home, smiles on their faces, even the housekeeper was taken aba
Isabella shot Lorenzo a sharp look, her voice icy as she demanded, "How did you know about the divorce? Are you spying on my husband and me?"Lorenzo felt a flash of anger at her condescending tone, but he buried it deep down. He would unleash his frustration later—once he had won her over. For now, he forced a smile and explained, "Of course not. Your divorce is already making the rounds in the news. Your father may be trying to suppress it, but it's out there. You have nothing to lose by being with me. Remember, we have a child together. Why not elope with me? You won’t regret choosing me over that weakling."Isabella's cold stare pierced through him. She recognized his attempt to manipulate her feelings for their son as a bargaining chip.With a disdainful sneer, she replied, "Even if I divorce my husband, I will never end up with a disgusting man like you, Lorenzo."Exhausted from the conversation, she turned to leave, heading for her car. But Lorenzo swiftly grasped her wrist, pu
When 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
