ISABELLA

“Arghhh!! why is it so hard getting an outfit for the night done in seconds?” I yelled to myself as I stood in front of the mirror feeling a bit confused but yet excited. 

I had been so indecisive on the dress to wear for the night, as I held out the red dress they had shipped into town about a week ago. 

I wasn't the type to wear cheap, but knew so much about quality and knew just when to look exclusive on most occasion.

Apparently, tonight was a night out with the girls.

“A night to celebrate passing out of the most prestigious College in Italy” Like I'd call it, but then again I saw it more like an escape from the world we had gotten used to at some point in time.

And now, finally a break from it all.

With the hype of the girls from last night, I knew so well that they were definitely going to get to the extreme at the club.

I had spent hours from closet to closet in my room, In search of that one dress.

I close the door to one of the closets just when my phone, suddenly buzzed over and over again by my bedside shelf.

I crossed over my messed up room, as I reached out to the shelf to have it answered.

“Hey girl what's up?” I said walking over to the full-length mirror holding on to the red dress.

“Let me guess, you still haven't picked a dress yet,” Arianna said from her end of the call.

“Well…!!” I said still holding on to the dress in front of me as I had it pulled over my body trying to see whether or not it would be perfect for a go-to dress.

“It's perfect!!” Arianna yelled.

“And how the hell did you know, I'm holding on to a dress right now?” I asked feeling watched as I giggled along side.

“I know you too well Isabella” 

“That's the kind of response you tend to give out when you are sure but not sure” she said as I could hear the sound of her car engine from the other end of the call.

“You are driving?” I asked as I had the phone flipped over to the other side of my ear, pulling over the dress from my feet.

“Yes bitch!!” she yelled.

“Be ready in five!!” she added as she hung up.

“How do you even get to not spend time dressing up as a lady?!!” I muttered to myself as I had my phone placed down to the shelf beside me.

A couple of seconds afterwards, I had on the dress and was shocked it had actually come out different from what I expected.

It was just perfect!!!…

I stared into my reflection in the mirror, as I admired how sexy I looked in my red dress.

It was a red-draped ruched satin bodycon dress, having a little black rose to the side of my hip.

I turned sideways checking out how curvy and beautiful I looked in the dress.

I had a final touch of my makeup, rolling my hair up into a bun and flipping a bit to the side. I held on to my purse staring at my reflection in the mirror.

As I smiled at my reflection.

Just perfect!!… I said to myself.

“Don't make me pull you outta there Bella!!” Aurora yelled banging hard on my door.

“Oh great, the one nosy step-sister is here to have me pulled out” I yelled teasingly as I had on my mini heels walking to the door.

I took a deep breath, knowing how wasted I was going to get for the rest of the night.

“Who the hell you calling nosy?” she asked walking away as I followed suit from behind.

“You know the drill Sist”

“Don't push it” I said mockingly as we dashed out of the house and was just in time meeting up with Arianna who had just pulled over by the gate waving to us.

I pressed on to the buttons on the Fob remote to my white 2024 Maserati GranTurisimo, as it made a loud beeping sound from the garage.

“I'm driving!!” I yelled flipping my purse over to the passengers seat taking over the steering.

“Whatever!!” Aurora shot back at me as she climbed on to the passenger seat in front.

“Getting my licence renewed soon, so I’d be a free Tesoro” she said staring out the window as she had her arm crossed around her chest.

“Did you just say, Tesoro?” I asked laughing out as I started off the car engine.

“Whatever!!” she said sounding grumpier than earlier before.

“And then again, no phones tonight” I said as I held on tight to the steering, with my eyes fixated on the road.

I could tell she had just gotten pissed with what I just said, but apparently it was for the best.

“You know how the big Man can be sometimes” I said making a reminder on who the big man, our father was.

Leonardo Dante, our father wasn't a man to accept his daughters to be seen casually around the clubs in town, as all he had always cared about was his reputation as the most powerful business tycoon in La Nostra Terra.

I had wandered off deeply in thoughts about how the night was to turn out, probably I’d get to have fun or get into trouble staying out too late in the absence of the men assigned to watch us both.

“But, who cares anyway?” I asked smiling to myself as I held on to the steering with my eyes locked to the road ahead of us.

And just as I was about to take the next turn right after Arianna in front of us, in the twinkle of an eye I had driven off track.

“Watch it Sist!!” Aurora said pointing to the road.

“Oh shit!!” I yelled pulling over to the side.

Fuck!!!…
