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
Laura frowned in confusion. She had heard from Lorenzo that Lewis was the one who masterminded Isabella's kidnapping."Are you scared, Isabel dear? Tell me the truth. If he is the one, you don't have to be scared. You can easily change schools, and I promise he will be brought to justice," Laura persuaded, believing that the reason Isabella was denying the obvious was that she was afraid Lewis would attack her at school.Isabella shook her head frantically. The moment she opened her mouth to speak, she heard a dry cough from the door, which made her suddenly stop talking.Raising her head, she looked toward the door, only to see Lorenzo standing there, looking at her with an expressionless face and cold eyes.When Laura looked toward the door, Lorenzo's face creased into a smile."Honey, you should rest. You are tired. I will take care of Isabella and also handle the matter concerning the kidnapping. Those responsible won't go scot-free," Lorenzo spoke solemnly, his face filled with d
Followed by Laura's voice, "Isabella, are you asleep?"Lorenzo covered Isabella's mouth and whispered to her, "Pretend to be sleepy; I will handle the rest."Isabella watched quietly as Lorenzo left her bed in the dark room after taking off the handcuffs and the blindfold.A knock came at the door once again, and Laura's voice came from behind it. "Isabel, are you awake?""Yes," Isabella replied. She got down from the bed after putting on another pair of pants and hid the shredded ones Lorenzo had left under the bed."Isabella, what are you doing?" Laura's anxious voice came again."I am coming, Mommy," Isabella replied helplessly. She went to open the door, feigning sleepiness, rubbing her eyes while yawning.She asked, "Mom, what is the matter?"Laura looked at Isabella, a frown appearing on her face. She peered into the room and then said, "I heard you screaming. Are you alright, Isabel?""Screaming?" Isabella retorted, looking shocked.Laura stepped into Isabella's room and turned
When Isabella heard Lewis insisting on what he was saying, she was shocked and disappointed. She looked at him with a face creased in disapproval."Lewis, I thought you were just being unreasonable and jealous, but I didn't expect you to be a hell-bent liar."After giving him a look, Isabella turned around and began walking away. Lewis clenched his fists tightly and smiled helplessly; he didn't expect Isabella to believe him, but he couldn't stop himself from telling her the truth.He had the opportunity to learn who Lorenzo was from his father, a mafia boss who had ruled over the state for years and engaged in all vices, including intercontinental drug trafficking, human trafficking, and even murder and arson. His intention in approaching Isabella and her mother, Laura, was unclear.But such a person can't change overnight and decide to be a good person. He was sure that Lorenzo's intentions were suspect.After pondering over it for some time, Lewis decisively walked away, thinking a
Isabella couldn't get over Lewis's words. While still in class, she was mostly absent-minded, which caused her teacher to call her attention repeatedly.When she got on the school bus after the bell rang, she saw Cecilia getting into Lewis's car, happily leaning on him, while Lewis's face remained expressionless.Isabella remained quiet throughout the drive home. When she got off the school bus, she still felt disheartened and sad.With her school bag on her back, she approached the entrance of the house. The door opened, and Lorenzo saw her face; his expression was cold. He was aware of what had happened between Isabella and Lewis, as well as their conversation."Isabella, you don't seem happy," Lorenzo said, leaning lazily on the door frame.Isabella froze and forced a smile. She knew Lorenzo hated it whenever she showed any feelings for Lewis. "Nothing, I'm fine."Lorenzo didn't say another word. He shifted from the door, allowing her inside the house. A cold smile appeared on Lore
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
