Isabella opened her eyes and stretched her body. She looked at the time and saw that it was a few minutes past six.She recalled what happened between her and Angelo last night and turned but there was no sign of him. She looked around the room but couldn't find any proof that Angelo had been in her room, even her bed was neatly arranged, except for the part where she slept in.She sat upright and thought back to the activities of the night. Angelo had assured her of his love and cleared all the misunderstandings they had.He made love to her, first in the bedroom and then in the bathroom, under the shower and it was magical. When they left the bathroom, they spoke for a while before making love once again.She was so sure she passed out from exhaustion as she could not remember what happened after that. Everything was so real, she could still feel the taste of Angelo's lips on her own as though it happened a few minutes ago. How could she have dreamed all that?If it was only a dream
Isabella smiled happily, "yes, of course, I'll love to go on a date with you."Angelo lifted Isabella off the ground while she squealed in excitement. "Okay, princess," he said. "You stay in bed, enjoy your breakfast, and leave everything to me."He placed Isabella on the bed and brought the tray of food to her, placing it in front of her on the bed.Isabella sat up and tasted the food. She stared at him in surprise, "wow! Your skills have truly improved. In that case, you are allowed to brag.How come you aren't eating? Do you want us to share the spoon?"Angelo chuckled, "right now, I just want to watch you eat because this moment is special to me."Isabella shook her head, "you have completely changed Angelo. Who knew you were capable of saying such sweet words?"Angelo did not argue with Isabella because he had not forgotten all the cruel words he said to her in the past. He just hoped that someday, Isabella would be able to forget all the bad times and remember only the good."So
Angelo smiled at Mirabella and took her to a corner, "listen, princess, where I'm taking your mummy, children are not allowed to enter.I will buy ice cream for you and tomorrow I will take both you and your mummy to ride the Ferris wheel. Wouldn't you like that?""I will like that," Mirabella replied excitedly."That's good," Angelo added. "stay with your nanny and do your homework and I promise that tomorrow will be 'world Mirabella's day'."After coaxing Mirabella, Angelo and Isabella kissed her goodbye and left. Isabella was surprised and said to Angelo, "I kept thinking about what to say to her to convince her to stay behind but you handled it so perfectly."Angelo smiled, "I am her father afterall, so it shouldn't be so hard to get her to do my bidding.""I am just glad that you are now with us," Isabella said as she intertwined her fingers with Angelo's.Angelo took Isabella to a ritzy restaurant. She noticed he had already made a reservation as their table had been designed s
Angelo woke up quite early in the morning and made breakfast for his princesses while the nanny got Mirabella ready for school.They all ate together after which Angelo said, "today, I'll take Mirabella to school and drop her off before coming back."Mirabella said goodbye to Isabella and got into Angelo's car while he drove her to school. When they arrived, the lady at the counter noticed that Angelo was the one who brought Mirabella to school.She smiled and waved at him. Angelo waved back. He had entered the school compound with Mirabella and just before she left for her class, he got on his knees and hugged her tightly."I love you, princess and I will miss you so much.""I love you too Daddy and I will miss you so much," Mirabella replied.Angelo smiled and tapped one of his cheeks with his finger. Mirabella moved much closer to him, held his face with her little hands, and kissed his cheek. "Goodbye daddy," she said before running inside.Angelo stood for a while smiling until h
That night, when Angelo went back to his house, he felt as though he was in a strange place. He felt lonely.He called Isabella and they spoke at length, each explaining how their day went. Angelo also spoke with Mirabella until she fell asleep. He said goodnight to Isabella so she could sleep but he wasn't able to get any sleep, himself.He used the opportunity and packed up all the things he wanted to take with him to London.When he was done with everything, he looked at his time and decided to force himself to sleep. He realized that he would not be able to spend one more night away from Isabella and Mirabella.He decided that whatever meetings he had left will be done through Zoom. He was going back to his family first thing in the morning.When Angelo's flight landed in London, he knew that Isabella was not expecting him and decided to surprise her.We stayed at the new house he had bought and arranged everything he had taken along with him. When it was four in the evening, he
Isabella stretched her hand towards Angelo and said, "Yes, I will marry you."Angelo placed her palm on his and wore the diamond-studded gold ring in his hand over her ring finger.Isabella stared at the ring as more tears fell from her eyes while Angelo stood up and kissed her for what seemed like an eternity before hugging her.When they finally let go of each other, he held her hand, and together they left the beach. Isabella was all smiles as Angelo drove them back home.She kept staring at him as the scene of his proposal kept replaying in her mind. It was funny though because whoever saw them would think they were both single whereas they were already married to each other.Back home, Mirabella sat in the living room with a sad expression on her face, when the nanny asked her what the problem was, she said, "I miss my daddy and now I haven't seen my mummy."The nanny smiled. Just be patient my dear and I'm sure you will see them soon."The words had barely left the nanny's mouth
The next morning, Angelo, Isabella, and Mirabella all left together for the airport. Mirabella was excited because she was going to get the chance to meet her grandparents after such a long time.When their flight landed, Angelo had his assistant bring his car over to the airport and from there, he drove them to Isabella's parents' house.Isabella and Mirabella were the first to get into the house. Mrs. Monte was so excited that she came out of the room and ran towards Mirabella who screamed "Grandma" before crashing into her arms.Mr. Monte also came out of the room and the atmosphere was a joyful one as they all hugged and happily greeted each other.Isabella looked behind her and realized that Angelo had not come into the house. She smiled and said to her parents, "I brought someone to see the both of you and it's a surprise." Her parents were very eager to know what the surprise was so they sat down on the couch and waited for her while she went outside and signaled for Angelo to
The young woman said "no Angelo I am not dead. I am your sister Sofia and I survived on the day the accident happened. I saw when the big truck was speeding towards us. Dad opened the door and pushed me out of the car, I sustained a few injuries. I saw how the driver ran them over and fainted due to shock.Someone rescued me and I don't know who it was but when I opened my eyes I was in a strange house and on a strange bed. Eventually, I was sold off to a mafia gang and they forced me to peddle my flesh. I lived as a prostitute all these years, making money for them. I would hear about you and see pictures of you and how well you were doing. Many times I wondered why you never came for me but, eventually, I got to know that they replaced my body with someone else's. They took off my clothes and I don't know where they got another body from but it wasn't me. I survived Angelo and I've been living miserably all these years until finally, someone came. I don't know who he is but I thin
