DamonEverywhere suddenly felt silent. The men who were snickering behind me said nothing. It felt as though my heart, too, fell silent. "It's going to be dangerous, Mia Bella," I said.Isabella shook her head in an otherwise adorable fashion. I shook my head. I didn't need to think about things like that. I thought to myself. I looked back at her. "Mia Bella, please go back," I urged.The woman shook her head defiantly and stared at me, meeting my eyes through the mask."I'm coming with you. I told you I will keep Frederick safe.”“ It's not about Frederick," Isabella said with a shaky voice."It's about the fact that I am too scared to watch you go. I need to make sure that everything will be fine for myself. I mean to determine that by myself."The resolve in her eyes was so strong that I couldn't help but concede. I stepped aside and created a path for her to go through. She said nothing to me even as she entered the van. In no time, we were on our way."Sir," Ted said to me from

IsabellaI saw nothing and everything. Dust, blood, and the sound of pain filled the air through the glass of the van, along with the occasional boom here and there.My heart thundered in my chest, matching the booms that were becoming more frequent. "Princess!" The sound of my title, coupled with that of the door sliding open harshly, caused me to jump.My heart was in my chest as I watched Alessandro look at me with wide eyes. He stepped aside to reveal Frederick, panting and looking scared.He climbed into the van as he was pushed inside by Alessandro. "Stay here!" He yelled at the scared man before slamming the door.Frederick panted heavily as he pulled off his dusty jacket to reveal an equally dusty shirt underneath. He clawed at the top two buttons of the shirt, freeing his throat so he could suck in more air.He looked disheveled yet oddly attractive. He looked at me with eyes so wide I thought they would pop out of his head."Do you know about them?" He asked between breaths.

IsabellaMomentarily, I stood in shock, watching the scene unfold in front of me. It was just one screen, with Cassandra suddenly getting shot in the back. I shook my head, trying to calm my mind amidst the dusty storm around me.Once I opened my eyes, the screen had disappeared. I moved, returning to my run, except this time I was running faster, with the resolve to save that idiot's life.Finally, I reached the house. The front porch was effectively destroyed, but I managed to climb onto the veranda and then past the front door. "Frederick!" I yelled once and then twice. I heard the sound of wood clashing in the distance, but when I got there, it was a man bleeding to death.My heart ached as I suddenly remembered the other man who had died in front of me. I hated being around so much death—the smell of blood was pungent in the room as the man reached towards me with his eyes full of desperation. I walked towards him and held his hand, but just as I touched him, his hand fell."Why

IsabellaBeside Roman, who was dressed in all black, was Valentino. Behind Valentino, running away into the distance, was my cousin who still didn't look back."This is quite touching," Roman said with a small smile."It is quite bad," Valentino said in response. I felt my lips stop trembling as I bit it between my teeth. Anger bubbled up within me as I looked at the two murderous men in front of me. "Neither of you have any idea what you're doing," I said as I slowly stood up."Trust me, we know exactly what we're doing. I will kill you, and then the city will be mine. But if you surrender, I promise I will spare your life, princess," Roman spat the word "princess."I looked down towards the body of Frederick and felt deep regret coursing through my veins. But the last thing I would let take over me was the fear of surrender."Mia Bella," I heard Damon from behind me as he slowly approached. The faces of the men in front of me changed to be a bit more guarded."Don't move, Mafia King

IsabellaPlease tell me that's not true," I said with disbelief as I shook my head and turned back to Alessandro. Alessandro's shoulders were shaking, and suddenly he burst into laughter as he crouched to the floor. "It's been three days now. Same as you, princess," Damon said as his shoulders were also shaking. I hit his shoulder. "That's not fair," I said as I wiped my eyes and glared at the two men.I whipped my head quickly to him. "Three days?" I voiced out. "I thought it was longer... it felt longer," I said."It was definitely longer," I looked up to Alessandro. "Damon was awake, but he was..." I pointed to the window. "It looked like I was asleep for a long time... this makes no sense," I said as I felt a headache bloom behind my eyebrow along with a wave of exhaustion."But he was fine," I thought to myself as I lay on the bed and closed my eyes."If you could go back in time, what would you change?" I heard Damon ask in a soft voice. "I don't think I want to change anythin

IsabellaThe room was first silent. Until Donatella exploded in a flurry of screams and shouts."We have been with the system for generations! You cannot come here and change it. It would be better if you step aside and let the one who is meant to sit on the throne handle this. You cannot do this! I will stop you. I promise I will not let this stand! Hundreds of years of tradition thrown away by your kind! I should have sided with Sandra when she called you a nameless scum. Because that is what you are," her voice lowered with the last word.She was panting heavily, and when the realization of what she had said dawned on her, horror took over her features. She raised a hand to cover her mouth and gently began to shake her head. But I had already seen this from the start. I had seen that you would offer no apology but instead, you would walk out of the room. Her eyes turned to me as though she sought me to stand beside her. But she was alone. She dropped her hand and squared her shou

Damon"Pulling myself away from Isabella was one of the hardest things I found myself having to do. But that idiot called Roman…" I said as I squeezed the covers tightly."It's okay," Isabella said as she lifted my face to hers. "He'll come back, right? We planned that he was going to come back. And now that he's back, we only need to go through the motions of execution.""But I don't think he's alone," I protested.Isabella smiled, giving me some sort of hope, but I knew I'd be fine if I was away from her."He's not alone," Isabella said. "He has supporters and allies. It was one of the possibilities I told you about yesterday.""Great, but yes. Roman has close to an army with him and he has allies. Good, so go. Hurry, if you don't go now, they'll gather more and it'll be harder for you later."With a push on my chest, I eventually forced myself out of bed. Just minutes later, and after several kisses from Isabella, I was dressed in all black with my mask in my hand. I walked towards

IsabellaNo one needed to tell me what morning sickness looks like. I heaved as I threw up what was my dinner from the night before shortly after Damon left. Finally, I pushed myself back against the toilet seat and put my head between my knees."This can't be real," I told myself, even as a small smile began to form on my lips. I pushed myself up from the floor and staggered until I found a robe. I made my way to Paula's room and pushed open her door. She was still sleeping when I came in. I shook her until she woke up."I'm pregnant," I said after she rubbed her eyes awake."Are you sure?" she asked, still looking sleepy."I'm having morning sickness, and I'm late. I'm at least two weeks late, and I didn't think about it before because so many things were happening at the same time, and finally… I'm sure I'm pregnant," I said after bombarding her with so many words."Have you called him?" she asked, and I shook my head."Well… maybe we should talk to the doctor first, and then we co
