Isabella“What if it’s them?” I asked, feeling anxious. “Why would they come by sea?”“Maybe… maybe something came up,” I said, raising my hands in the air. “Joseph said something happened. Maybe they had to improvise,” I added, and Michael began to see reason.“I can’t leave either of you,” he said after a moment of thinking. “If they’re not with us, we’ll know.”The seconds suddenly became longer than normal as I glued my eyes to the window facing the beach. A speedboat was rapidly approaching but stopped once it reached the shallows, the engine falling silent. Moments passed, one after the other, making me realize that it was definitely Damon.I turned to look at Michael with a determined expression. “I’m going,” I said as I grabbed the door handle and ran down the stairs.Damon was just pulling himself out of the water by the time I reached the shore. His black-on-black outfit clung to every part of his body, making him look like my idea of what Poseidon should be.His eyes found

IsabellaSomeone had turned on the sun at the wrong time. My eyes twitched as I turned my face in the opposite direction to meet a hard yet warm surface. I lightly slapped it, earning a low groan that vibrated the surface, and then I rested my head on it. The sun was away from me for now, but the heat underneath me was almost unbearable. Still, I was grateful for it.I didn't know how long I lay there, but I started to feel hands tracing my backside and then my waist."I think it's time to get up," Damon said, his chest rumbling underneath my ear."Five more minutes," I mumbled back, snuggling my head closer. His hands traced up my back, and then his fingers landed in my hair, rubbing circles on my scalp."You said that at least an hour ago," he said as he continued massaging my scalp. Suddenly, he sat up, raising me along with him."Ah!" I yelled. The position was too uncomfortable for me, but it left me with no choice but to sit up. I pouted at him, angry that he had forced me up fr

Isabella"I'm sorry about your family," I told him, and he nodded in acknowledgment."Thank you, Princess." I didn't exactly like the title, but it was one I was willing to put up with. I would just have to get used to it."Cassandra is weak in the lower city. But I think she thrives on secrecy. She relies on her ability to scare you enough to act in a way that's inconsistent with what you would normally do," Julio explained. Damon suddenly barked out a laugh."So we walk into the city like we own it," he said, looking at me."But it's not that simple," Julio protested. "Yes, we should go into the city, but we also need support. There are some families that don't stand with Cassandra, and I'm working on getting a full list of them. I only know of three for now, but my informants are still searching and asking questions.We can't just walk straight through the front door of the city without knowing that our interests are safe. Cassandra knows this better than anyone. As long as she can

Isabella An hour later, my hair was mostly dried and had resumed its curly nature. It had dried to a slightly darker color than before. Instead of the slightly orange shade my hair had previously, it was now a fully dark red with undertones of black. 'I don't think it's too bad,' I said as I played with the still-damp hair. Damon was the subject of my protest and complaints. He sat on the bed, watching me as I toyed around with my hair. 'Come here,' he said as he patted the bed beside him. My heart rate picked up at the tone he used. It was silent but commanding. His eyes suddenly grew darker as he peeked at me through his eyelashes. I sat on the bed slowly beside him, and his face broke out into a smile. 'Why do you look like that?' he asked with a slight laugh. 'Because you look like you want to eat me,' I replied. 'I do, but not now,' Damon said as he leaned his elbows on his knees. 'I will make a few calls, and I'll need to go back to the opposite end of the room, possibly to

Isabella"I have quite a large number of files on some of the families. Sadly, they're not here. During the hotel incident, I'm sure they might have been taken by Cassandra by now.But anyway, I'll tell you what I remember. Some of them have places they operate in the lower City. Places that bring them money, even though it's illegal," Julio said as he twiddled his thumbs before taking a sip of the coffee that was offered to him.Joseph had effectively taken on the role of a housekeeper for us, but I felt as though his talents were not being put to good use."For instance?" I asked."The Spice factory. You would have missed it, but it's not so far from the Cardone District.""District?" I said, suddenly feeling confused."The lower city has districts to make it more manageable. The Masked King did it like that. Of course, it makes sense this way. The Spice factory doesn't exactly manufacture spices. It's more like drugs and opium.They ship the finished drugs into the rest of Europe a

IsabellaHe said he'd meet us at the aerodrome. Miguel sighed as he put his phone down. "Where is that?" I asked."It's a relatively new establishment," Julio explained. "It's nothing in particular, but it can be a very discreet area.”“Why are we meeting there? There's almost nothing out there." He turned his face towards Miguel, who smirked and looked away. I had come to accept that silence was a good thing in instances like this."What's next?" I asked Julio, who had a sour expression on his face."We wait. We wait and get ready for the next two days. Hopefully, we won't have any funny business from now till then. Let's just try to keep things quiet until we're ready to go." His words would resonate in my mind for the next two days.I had no clothes to pack, so leaving was relatively easy. Paula and I gorged ourselves on Joseph's impeccable cooking. He seemed rather sad to watch Julio leave but didn't express much feelings when it was obvious that Paula was with Michael. We said ou

DamonNecessity is said to be the mother of invention. My necessity required me to call in all my scattered men. Leaving to search for Isabella had caused me to spread my resources too thin, leading to multiple attacks because of her—not that I was blaming her.The speedboat took me straight to the harbor and then to a private dock of the house of a friend of mine, Dante."Dante," I greeted with a smile as I got out of the speedboat, accompanied by Alessandro."It's good to see you, My King," Dante said with a slight bow."I've heard of your exploits. Is it true you have found her?" Dante asked, still bowing. I stopped in front of him, clicking my tongue and waiting for him to stop the act."How long are you going to keep this up?" I asked, feigning impatience, which he bought into all too quickly. He got up and smiled at me, his dark blue eyes crinkling at the edges."I'm sorry. It's just too good sometimes," he said, leading me into his house with Alessandro trailing behind."I've h

DamonWaiting for me was the house staff, whom I directed to have things ready for Isabella's arrival in the next couple of days.“Cross check and give me a status report when you're done. Have Marie attend to her personally. She's coming in today, i dont want anything out of place.” I told the white-haired man that was my butler.“Immediately, Sir.” He said in a clear voice. “Will they be all sir? he asked.“No.” The butler gave me a deep bow before retreating through the double doors of the front entrance. "Get me my mask and a black suit," I directed to the nearest staff member, who ran as fast as his feet could take him. Moments later, he returned with a suit holder and a black box under his arm. I opened the black box and found a replica of my mask as well as a bundle of black gloves."It will have to do for now." In the bag was my signature black suit that I chose to wear for occasions such as the meeting that was coming up soon. I gave the boy a nod and tossed him a bill befor
