When Laura heard what he said, she frowned. She could feel that something was wrong with Lorenzo; usually, he was the one who was proactive, taking good care of Isabella, but his behavior made her think that he was avoiding her."Lorenzo, are you alright?" Laura asked.Lorenzo forced a smile and retorted, "Of course, I am."He realized he had spoken too impulsively at first, so he restructured his words. "What I mean is that this is the first time Isabel is being hospitalized; she needs your care and love now more than ever. You shouldn't go to work and leave her."Laura furrowed her eyebrows in displeasure. That was when Lorenzo realized he had misspoken, so he said, "I'm sorry."He turned around and walked off. Laura stared at his back, wondering what was wrong with him. She didn't want to call him back because she was a little angry about his words, which were unpleasant to hear.After he left, Laura's phone began ringing immediately. When she saw it was her boss, her face creased
But this time it rang, and he didn't pick up the call. Laura was furious, confused, and frustrated. She paced around the corridor and forgot that she needed to have lunch at that time.She kept trying to reach Lorenzo on the phone, but in the end, her calls went unanswered."Miss Laura," the doctor called, gaining her attention.Turning around, Laura forced a smile and replied, "Yes."The doctor walked forward and stood before her, then explained, "Your daughter's condition is now stable. Please avoid discussing family problems with her for now, and look after her. She isn't in a good condition to hear about those issues."When Laura heard this, she wasn't surprised; Isabella's reaction when she complained about Lorenzo had scared her.Without hesitation, she nodded in agreement and said, "Thank you, doctor."The doctor left afterward.When Laura turned around, she looked toward the entrance and met Lorenzo's gaze. He was standing there with many shopping bags.She looked at him with
Laura reached out for the letter with a shaky hand.When she picked it up and read it, her worried expression broke into a smile.Isabella was curious and asked, "Mom, what are you reading?"Laura folded the letter with a sweet smile and replied, "It’s from your dad. He said he made dinner for us and won’t be coming home until daybreak. He’s trying to find a job and doesn’t want us to worry about him."When Isabella heard this, her tense muscles relaxed; she already knew the reason Lorenzo wasn't returning home.After dinner, Isabella asked her mother if she could sleep in her room.The next day, she returned to school. When she saw Lewis, his eyes lit up."Isabella!" he exclaimed, abandoning everything he was doing and running over to her.Standing face to face, his expression was filled with excitement as he impulsively embraced her."I thought I would never see you again! I called your phone so many times, but it was switched off. I also came to check on you at home several times b
But Isabella completely ignored him. Lewis helplessly gave up when she refused to listen to him at all; he watched as she walked away.Jake walked up to him and asked, "Are you having a fight with Isabella again?"Lewis helplessly explained what had happened between them.Jake commented, "I think she is really angry at you. I guess her mother probably told her about you meeting her in the hospital. Lewis, you should realize that not everyone has the same protection your dad offered. Isabella is scared of implicating her mother; just leave it at that. She will let her know when the time is right."Lewis's face became solemn. He lowered his head, feeling guilty."What can I do to make her forgive me?" he asked, looking sad.Jake shook her head. "She is still angry at you. Just give her some time. You can go ahead and apologize to her."Lewis didn't go against Jake's advice. He reluctantly gave up on the thought of looking for Isabella later when school closed for the day.He drove out o
Lorenzo slid his two fingers inside her, continuing to play with her clit using his tongue. Isabella moaned with pleasure, fully enjoying everything he was doing to her.As Isabella clamped his head between her legs, Lorenzo paused. Beads of sweat rolled down Isabella's face as her chest heaved, and she panted heavily.Lorenzo parted her legs and looked deep into her eyes. "Do you want me?" he asked.Isabella anxiously replied, "Yes, yes, I want you deep inside me. Please, take me."Lorenzo chuckled softly, then loosened his belt and pulled down his briefs, exposing his erection. With a swift tug, he pulled Isabella off the table. She staggered on her shaking legs as he turned her over, pinning her head on the table while gripping her neck from behind.His palm caressed her soft backside, and he raised his hand, giving it a playful smack."Ahh! Yes, Daddy, it feels so good," Isabella moaned as she was spanked from behind.He repeated the spankings three times before stopping. He then
When Lewis heard what Isabella said, he became worried and persuaded her, "Isabella, you shouldn't expose him. I don't want anything to happen to you.""Don't be scared, Lewis. I will be fine. Why didn't you let Jake tell me you were in the hospital? Why do you hide this from me?" Isabella asked emotionally, tears rolling down her cheeks.Lewis looked down guiltily and replied, "I don't want you to blame yourself. I want you to be happy, Isabella."Isabella shook her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. She stubbornly retorted, "Seeing you like this makes me even angrier. Don't ever hide things from me."Lewis nodded and said, "I will never do it again."That was when they called them in for the examination. After they were done, Isabella left immediately. Before Lewis could exit the examination room and search for her, she was already gone.His face changed drastically when he remembered that Isabella had told him earlier she was going to expose Lorenzo. He quickly turned to Jake.
She had barely taken another step when Lorenzo's car pulled over, and then he alighted; they locked gazes.Lorenzo's face was creased with worry. He had already heard from one of his spies that Isabella had visited Laura after her examination, especially after having a discussion with Lewis.He suspected that Isabella had probably told her the truth, and he was both nervous and anxious, still hoping his suspicions were false.Forcing a smile onto her face, Laura strode toward him. "Lorenzo, you are very handsome; so many ladies want you..."Lorenzo furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure when he caught the thick smell of alcohol on Laura's body. He commented unhappily, "You are drunk."Laura nodded her head and agreed without hesitation. "I drank just a little; I'm not drunk."Lorenzo raised an eyebrow and then reached out to pull her arm, but to his surprise, Laura didn't resist; she offered him her right arm.Taking it, Lorenzo exhaled in relief and then said angrily, "Next time, don't
He stood up and walked out of the house to get himself treated after being bandaged in the hospital by his doctor's friend.Doctor Sam looked at him and asked, "Lorenzo, I know this wasn't done by your rivals; you have already uprooted all of them from California. How did you get injured?"Lorenzo, embarrassed, retorted, "It's none of your business, Sam."He got up and walked out of Doctor Sam's office. After he left, he whipped out his phone and dialed one of his spy's numbers."Hello, Luke, I want to know where Laura took Isabella," Lorenzo said into the phone receiver.A deep voice came from the other end. "You will get feedback soon."Lorenzo returned the phone to his trouser pocket and then walked toward his car. He got into the car, started it, and drove off.He arrived at a bar, got out of the car, and walked inside. He sat in his private room and was served bottles of drink by a waitress. He took a cigarette and started smoking.A man opened the door and walked in. When he saw
Seeing her reaction, Lorenzo became aware that Isabella had finally realized she was the only one at home.He grinned wickedly and said with a smile, "Isabel, the more you reject me, the more I desire you. I want to have you all to myself."Isabella grabbed the duvet and wrapped it tightly around her body, snorting angrily, "You are nothing but a rapist—a disgusting one. You are a devil, a demon."Lorenzo's lips curled up, showing no anger at the name-calling. He sneered nonchalantly, "If I am a devil, as you say, why can’t you say no to me? Huh? Why do you respond to my touches?"Isabella pursed her lips tightly. After a weak sigh, she replied, "I don't feel too well. Can you spare me today?"Lorenzo chuckled and reached for the duvet, pulling it away to reveal Isabella's body, only covered by a nightie. The sight of her perky nipple pressing against the fabric and her smooth legs immediately stirred him."I will be gentle," Lorenzo said, swallowing hard.He took off his shirt and tr
"Isabel, I should call the doctor," Laura insisted, but Isabella retorted, "No, Mom, I am fine. I don't need to see a doctor."She climbed onto her bed, covered herself with a duvet, and turned away from Laura, her mother. The room was silent as they both remained quiet. After pondering for some time, Laura opened her mouth and said, "My wedding to Lorenzo is a week from now. You can decide not to show up; I won't be mad at you."Laura wasn't aware that tears were rolling down Isabella's cheeks since she was facing away from her. She waited several minutes for Isabella to respond, but when she didn't say a word, Laura gave up and said dejectedly, "Isabel, dear, I am going to lunch for both of us."Having finished speaking, she turned around and went to the kitchen. When she was done cooking, she wanted to call Isabella to join her at the dining table when her phone suddenly rang.Picking up her phone, she saw it was a call from Lorenzo. A sweet smile creased her face as she answered,
Isabella stood there, frozen, assuming the worst.Laura, looking very nervous, pulled her arm and led her to the dining table."Take a seat; let's eat," she said, gesturing to an empty chair across from her.Isabella walked toward the chair. Although the meal on the table was her favorite, she had no appetite at all.When Laura noticed that Isabella refused to eat, she urged her, "Isabel, dear, please eat. I prepared it just for you."Isabella replied, "Mom, just tell me what’s the matter. You don't act this way unless you want to make a request."Hearing this, Laura became even more anxious and retorted, "Why don’t we talk after we finish eating? Don’t you think that would be better?"Isabella shook her head and insisted, "Mom, what is so difficult for you to say? I won’t be able to eat until I hear it."Laura sighed heavily, then, in resignation, said, "If you’re not going to eat, I don’t feel like saying it anymore."She began eating with her head lowered. Isabella soon realized he
Lorenzo smiled warmly and then said, "You should take your time; I am not in a hurry, but we are going to carry on with the wedding arrangements, right?""Yes, definitely," Laura agreed.After they had a wonderful date, Lorenzo held her waist and whispered into Laura's ear.Laura blushed and then playfully slapped him, saying, "Naughty boy."Lorenzo merely smiled. They both walked into the hotel room that Lorenzo had booked. The moment they stepped inside, he slammed the door shut and captured Laura's lips hungrily. His kiss was deep and demanding, and Laura reciprocated, her arms moving around his body uncontrollably.They both stripped naked and soon landed on the bed, with Lorenzo lying beneath Laura, who pressed herself against him.Lorenzo stretched his arms and clasped her breasts as she rode him."Yes, aaahh! Umm!! You are so sweet!" Laura moaned as she rode him.She threw her head back, using her hands to support her weight from behind, and then moved her waist faster. Beads o
The beggar snatched the piece of paper from Isabella's palm and then ran off across the road, heading directly into the hospital.Before Isabella could call out to him, he had already passed through the open hospital gate. Isabella helplessly gave up and waited.While Laura was stepping out of the hospital to check on a patient currently in a wheelchair under a tree, the beggar ran up to her, startling her.“Miss, Laura, right?” the beggar asked with a smile that made him appear scary.Laura looked at him, pondering for a moment before nodding. “Yes.”“This is for you,” the beggar forced the piece of paper into Laura's palm and then turned around and ran off.Laura stared at his disappearing back, her face filled with confusion. She then opened the piece of paper; her reaction was one of confusion, and then suddenly black lines appeared on her forehead. Anger creased her face as she read on, her eyes glinting with rage.“Darling,” Lorenzo's voice called out to her, startling her.Laur
When Lewis heard Isabella's response, he fell silent. The phone in his grasp slipped from his hand, and he looked like someone who had seen a ghost.Jake frowned when he saw Lewis's pale face. Isabella's worried voice came from the phone's speaker. "But Lewis, I only love you. I can't explain why I can't stop myself from falling for his traps. I don't want this either; I prefer you..."Lewis picked up the phone from the ground and hurled it at a nearby tree, shattering it into pieces. Jake, by his side, was dumbfounded by his friend's intense reaction."Aaaahhh!" Lewis howled toward the sky, his voice filled with pain and heartbreak.Jake, watching, felt the corners of his lips twitch. He didn't understand what was going on with his friend or why he was acting so irrationally."Lewis, what is wrong with you?" Jake stood up and walked over to him, asking worriedly.He was afraid Lewis might lose control and jump off the hill, potentially injuring himself. Lewis sat on the grass, all hi
Jake became nervous, fearing he couldn't understand what Lewis was trying to do."Dude, don't do this. Listen to me; hurting yourself isn't the solution," Jake advised fearfully.But Lewis looked on coldly, with pursed lips and eyes filled with madness.While Jake struggled to make a choice, Lewis's father darted forward and shouted, "Let him commit suicide! The girl won't live to mourn him!" he threatened immediately.When Jake heard the familiar voice, he exhaled in relief. Lewis looked at his father in surprise."If I lose my only son because of a little girl, she doesn't deserve to live. Go ahead and get yourself killed; just know that I am going to send her over to you." After saying this, Lewis's father turned around, returned to the army jeep he came in, and drove off.Jake's lips twitched. He thought he had seen a solution; who would have thought the so-called solution wasn't reliable at all?To his surprise, Lewis turned off the engine of his car. All of Jake's tense muscles
Isabella's lips trembled at the possibility. She thought about when she revealed that Lorenzo was sleeping with her and how her mother reacted. She tensed up and clenched her fists in hesitation.Lorenzo smiled knowingly, then walked gallantly toward her bed and sat down. He looked at Isabella and urged, "You can use the door."A powerless expression creased Isabella's face. She looked at Lorenzo, her face filled with reluctance, but in the end, she couldn't make a decision."Isabella, I will be on my way back to work," Laura's voice came from behind the door, and soon her receding footsteps could be heard.Isabella made a quick decision and dashed for the door, but before she could grab the doorknob, Lorenzo's palm was already pressed against it.He looked down at Isabella coldly, his eyes filled with hostility."Where the hell are you running off to, Isabel?" Lorenzo asked coldly.Isabella tensed up at the ferocious expression on his face. She clenched her jaw tightly, her heart tig
Laura stared at him coldly, her eyes filled with madness as she retorted emotionally, "It is a big mistake, and the worst mistake I ever made was trusting you with my love and feelings. You are a monster, Lorenzo! A devil!"She pushed him angrily. Although Lorenzo was furious, he clenched his fists tightly and did not react."I regret the day I ever loved a monster like you." Having said that, Laura quickly dressed and dashed for the door.This time, Lorenzo did not stop her from leaving. He looked on as she opened the door and walked out.After Laura left the hotel, she stopped a taxi and took it home. When she arrived at her rented apartment, she got out of the taxi and paid the fare.As she walked toward the entrance, she saw Lewis emerging from the house, their gazes locking.They stared at each other briefly before Lewis stepped forward. "Ma'am, I’m sorry for the way I spoke to you yesterday."Laura looked at him and replied, "It's fine."She didn’t really want to discuss yesterd
