"She’s growing up so fast. It feels like just yesterday she learned how to roll over." Ben chuckled from his rocking chair, watching Selena with pride. "She’s brought us a joy we never expected. Irene would be so happy to see us all together like this."

Isabella fell silent for a moment, reflecting on Irene with mixed emotions. Though the pain of her loss lingered, she felt that life was slowly returning to normal. They had been through so much, and now it was time to move forward.

As the room filled with warmth and light-hearted conversation, the sound of a car pulling up in the front yard caught Isabella’s attention. Curious, she stood and peeked out the window. A smile spread across her face—it was Nicholas.

Nicholas stepped out of the car, carrying a large box.

"Hey," he greeted cheerfully as he made his way to the door. "I brought something for Selena."

Isabella opened the door and welcomed him with a warm smile. "You really can’t visit without bringing gifts, can you?" she tease

    CHAPTER 1Isabella Swan stared at her reflection in the mirror, her hands shaking slightly as she smoothed her hair. She was dressed in a sleek professional outfit that mirrored the style her sister, Irene, was used to wearing. Her heart was pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Irene had always been confident, a person who could overcome anything she faced. But now, Irene was missing, and it was up to Isabella to find her."Are you sure about this, Bella?" her best friend, Emily, asked from behind her.Isabella took a deep breath and nodded. "I have no choice. Irene needs me, and this is the only way I can find out what happened to her."It had been two weeks since Irene announced her engagement to Rudolf, a man Isabella knew was bad news. She had seen the bruises on Irene's arms, the fear in her eyes. And then, just like that, Irene disappeared. Phone calls went unanswered, and her apartment was untouched. Desperation led Isabella to make a drastic decision: she would a

    CHAPTER 2Isabella Swan sipped her coffee as she looked around the bustling cafe. It was filled with writers and creatives, each engrossed in their own world. Across from her sat Peter, her chatty editor, who was waving his arms excitedly as he discussed the upcoming publication of her novel on an online platform."Isabella, this is going to be great!" Peter exclaimed, his excitement obvious. "Your readers will love the surprises in this new chapter. And the character development? Brilliant!"Isabella smiled, appreciating Peter's enthusiasm despite his tendency to ramble. "Thank you, Peter. I'm glad we can finally finish the editing process."Peter nodded vigorously. "Of course. Now, about next week's launch event-"Isabella's cell phone buzzed, interrupting her. She glanced at the screen, seeing a message from her parents, Ben and Rose. It contained the address of Rudolf, her sister Irene's boyfriend. Her heart tightened. Irene had been missing for days, and this clue was the only le

    CHAPTER 3After waiting for fifteen minutes, Rose finally woke up. She tried to calm herself down and saw Isabella and her husband, Ben, sitting waiting for her. Sighing, Rose finally started the conversation."If Irene and Rudolf no longer live in the apartment, where are they now?"Ben and Isabella exchanged glances, neither of them had any idea about Irene's whereabouts who seemed to have disappeared into thin air two weeks after they announced their engagement.Then, Isabella tried to take charge of this situation. "I'll look for Irene, you don't have to think about it too much, Mom."Isabella already knew that her mother had a history of heart disease that could be life-threatening, and at any time could make Rose die. Isabella did not want anything bad to happen to her parents. She looked at Rose, then gently grasped her mother's hand. While nodding her head, Isabella tried to reassure her mother that everything would be fine."I'll find Irene, Mom."Rose smiled a little, she fe

    CHAPTER 4When Isabella turned around, she was very surprised by the sight before her. A handsome, blue-eyed man with an athletic chest and straight shoulders. He was absolutely perfect, but also a nightmare!"What are you doing here, Miss Swan?"Isabella blinked after hearing the voice in front of her. The man was Felix, Felix Kingston, CEO of Alpha Company and boss of her twin sister, Irene. "Ah-yeah, I was... doing something with the info board here, Mr. Kingston."How did Isabella know that the man was Felix? Because Felix's face was everywhere. He was the CEO who appeared in Forbes magazine, successful before thirty. His face was also plastered on billboards, the awards he had won, had made him very popular, and that made it easier for Isabella to recognize Felix in this office.Felix was walking alone when he met Isabella. Isabella was in her disguise as Irene, and she hoped that Felix would not realize it until the end."You know that my schedule is really tight, right?""Y-yes

    CHAPTER 5After struggling for several hours in Irene's office, Isabella began to feel tired of her disguise. She opened all the folders on her laptop, but found nothing. There was only one secret folder that was locked, and Isabella didn't know the password to it."Hey?"Nicholas's voice approached her, making Isabella gasp. "Yes?""Want to have lunch together?"Isabella blinked her eyes, she looked confused. Had the situation been changed and she was not in the guise of Irene, Isabella would have said 'yes' immediately. Who would refuse an offer of lunch from a handsome man like Nicholas? But fate had a different story."Sorry, but it looks like I have to do some work here," Isabella said.Felix stood up from his desk, then approached Nicholas. While looking at Isabella, he said, "Let him do whatever. You can have lunch with me."Nicholas smiled and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "All right. See you later, Irene."After the two of them left, Isabella was trying to find inform

    CHAPTER 6Felix was just cutting the best wagyu beef on his plate when Michael Kingston, his father, started talking about a 'rumor' that he had no idea where it came from. And, Sophia Baker, his mother, got involved and made things worse."You need to clear your name at the office, Felix!" That's what Sophia said, completely freaking out when she heard the rumor that Felix had become 'gay' after splitting up with his ex-fiancée, Sarah."Why?"Michael interrupted. He had a calmer voice compared to his wife. "Felix, rumors in the office are easy to spread. What if those rumors are heard by our relations or partners outside? You'll bring shame to the Alpha Company name."Felix chewed the remaining meat in his mouth, swallowed it, then pulled the glass of orange ice by the plate and drank it. Looking at his parents, Felix tried to explain, "I'm not gay, I'm still waiting for Sarah to come back to me and you both know that.""Sarah's going to marry someone else, Felix," Sophia reminded hi

    CHAPTER 7Isabella sat at a square table, where she sat next to Felix, while Nicholas and a partner named John, sat in front of them. It had been fifteen minutes since they had sat down together to talk business and Isabella had no idea what they were talking about. But to disguise her ignorance, Isabella was busy with her iPad, taking notes on everything Felix and Nicholas said.Isabella's eyes occasionally peeked behind the Ipad, looking at Nicholas who looked handsome. And Isabella felt that Nicholas was very suitable for the character in the novel she was writing."So, the acquisition of this company can only happen in the next two months?" That was Felix's voice, he sounded unhappy with the reality he had to face now.Nicholas, as the lawyer of Felix's company, tried to mediate the conversation. "According to the law, if you have signed a contract, you must immediately hand over the assets and ownership of your company to Alpha Company, sir."John sighed, he was an inconsistent f

But there was still something he needed to resolve before he could truly move forward.He knew that Sarah, the woman from his past, needed him more than ever. Instead of heading to a café, Felix stopped in front of a run-down apartment on the outskirts of the city. According to Kevin, his informant, this was where Louis—the man who had ruined Sarah’s life—was hiding.Felix clenched his jaw as he stood at the door. Without hesitation, he knocked hard, gathering all the anger and regret he had held inside for so long.The door opened, and Louis appeared with a smug expression. "Felix," he said mockingly. "What do you—"Before Louis could finish his sentence, Felix’s fist collided with his face. Felix struck him repeatedly, his punches fueled by rage. Louis tried to fight back, but Felix’s vengeful strength left him powerless. With one final blow, L

    Nicholas met Isabella at the park. She was wearing a white, knee-length dress with open shoulders, making her look elegant yet simple. She smiled as she saw Nicholas approaching, holding two cups of iced coffee. The soft afternoon sun cast a golden glow on the falling maple leaves, making them shimmer."For you," Isabella said, handing Nicholas one of the iced coffees. "I figured you’d need this after such a long day."Nicholas smiled as he took the coffee and sat down next to her on the bench. "Thanks. You’re right, it’s been a tiring day," he replied with a relieved tone.They sat in comfortable silence for a moment, enjoying the tranquility of the park. Isabella sipped her coffee, then broke the silence with heartfelt sincerity. "I really want to thank you, Nicholas. Without you, I don’t think Rudolf would have received the punishment he deserved."Nicholas nodded slowly, then, with a serious tone, said, "Actually, I can’t take all the credit."Isabella looked at him, puzzled. "Wha

The arrest went smoothly, with little resistance, and Rudolf was soon taken to the police station under tight security.The next morning, the long-awaited trial began. In the courtroom, the atmosphere was heavy. Bright lights cast shadows on the walls, and the gallery was filled with faces showing hope, anger, and anxiety. At the prosecution table, Nicholas sat with a calm yet focused expression. As the lawyer handling the case, he knew that even the smallest mistake could jeopardize his argument.Rudolf sat in the defendant’s chair, handcuffed, his face blank and without remorse. He seemed indifferent, as if the charges against him were nothing more than a game. However, Nicholas knew the truth—behind that calm demeanor was a dangerous and manipulative man, someone who had destroyed many lives.As the judge opened the session, Nicholas stood and began firmly."Your Honor,

    Isabella was visiting her parents' house and saw Selena, her little niece, cradled in the arms of Ben, her father and Irene’s. She embraced Ben warmly, feeling the unique comfort that only family could provide. Then, she handed over a box of formula she had brought especially for Selena.Ben smiled as he took the box. "Always so thoughtful, aren’t you?" he said warmly.Isabella smiled softly. "Always, for Selena." She looked at the tiny baby, sleeping soundly in Ben’s arms. "I just want to make sure she never lacks anything."They sat together in the living room, where a peaceful atmosphere surrounded them, even though the world outside was in turmoil with scandals and gossip. Isabella could feel Ben’s attentive gaze on her."So, it’s really over?" Ben asked cautiously, as if ensuring that his daughter had made the right decision. "I read about you and Nicholas on social media..."Isabella took a deep breath, feeling ready to answer. "Yes, the scandal got out of hand," she said calmly

    The atmosphere in Felix’s office was more tense than usual after he and Nicholas successfully located and captured Rudolf the previous day. Their professional relationship kept bringing them together, forcing them into awkward encounters. Nicholas entered and stood before Felix."I know you want to resign from the office," Felix finally said, breaking the silence with a calm tone. "But you don’t have to do that."Nicholas leaned back in his chair, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"Felix looked directly at Nicholas, without hesitation. "I’m going to London. There’s business I need to take care of there. And more than that, I’ve decided to end my pursuit of Isabella’s love."Nicholas paused, surprised. "You’re just giving up?"Felix let out a long sigh, as if releasing a burden he had carried for a long time. "It’s not about giving up. It’s about accepting reality." He lowered his gaze briefly before continuing, "Isabella chose you, Nicholas. I have to learn to accept that."Nicho

    As he reached the intersection, Felix noticed a black car parked by the roadside. Inside, a man in a leather jacket sat waiting, his expression unreadable. It was Kevin, the informant who had been helping Felix gather information about Rudolf. Felix turned off his engine and stepped out. The cold air immediately stung his skin, but he ignored it. Under the light drizzle, Kevin also exited his car, and they faced each other at the side of the road."Felix," Kevin greeted briefly, pulling up the collar of his jacket against the chilly wind. "I have news."Felix gave a sharp nod. "Tell me."Kevin slid a hand into his jacket pocket, retrieving his phone, and showed Felix a message. "We’ve found Rudolf. We tracked him to the outskirts of town, hiding in an old motel. He’s planning to flee the city tonight."Felix narrowed his eyes, his body tense. "What is he carrying?""Evidence," Kevin replied with a serious expression. "Documents and photos linking him to Irene’s murder. It seems he’s t

    "Have you taken him back?" Nicholas asked, his voice low but firm.Isabella shook her head, a faint yet certain smile on her face. "No. It’s all over."Nicholas exhaled deeply, as if a heavy burden on his heart had lifted in an instant. Without saying a word, he clasped Isabella’s hand, finding peace in their shared silence. The engine purred softly, and the car rolled away from Felix’s house, leaving that chapter behind.The next day, Felix walked down the hallway of his family home, preparing himself for a confrontation with his parents. Tension hung in the air, and he knew what awaited him behind the door. As he entered the elegant living room, his mother, Sophia, stood with a furious expression on her face. In the corner of the room, his father, Michael, sat silently, observing with sharp but unreadable eyes."Felix!" Sophia shouted angrily. "You’ve been lying about your marriage to Irene all this time. You’ve brought disgrace to our family!"Felix held his breath for a moment, no
