The anger on Isabella's face did not disappear, the only thing she could think of was to kick Angelo out of her house.Before she could say anything, however, Mirabella held her hand excitedly and said, "mummy, Angelo said he is my daddy. Is it true?"Isabella shifted her gaze to her daughter who was looking up at her. She softened her expression and bent down to Mirabella's level, "yes, Angelo is your daddy." She replied in a low voice.Mirabella smiled widely, "can I call him daddy?"Isabella laughed, "yes you can, my love." Mirabella turned to Angelo and said, "daddy.""Yes, princess," he replied.Mirabella turned to her mum once again and asked, "can daddy stay in my room?"Isabella stared at her without knowing what to say. She knew that Mirabella would not rest until she got an answer. She looked up at Angelo and decided that she wouldn't give in just because of Mirabella.She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry my love but your daddy cannot stay here. He has to go back to his own
Angelo held Isabella's face and wiped her tears with his thumbs. His eyes held hers as he moved his face closer until their lips touched.Isabella's hands moved from Angelo's back to his waist. She clutched his shirt with both hands as they began to kiss. Angelo slowly pushed Isabella back into her room, one of his hands left her face as he shut the door behind him.His hands went lower and slowly undid the buttons of her Pyjamas before taking the top off. Her breasts were revealed before him and as he cupped them with his hands, a memory flashed into his mind and he saw himself doing the same thing.Angelo ignored it as he believed that it was probably from his dreams about having a moment like this with Isabella. He had seen it one too many times that he feared that what he was experiencing was also a dream.He didn't want to wake up and find out that it wasn't real so he promised himself that this time, he would remain in this dream forever.He lifted Isabella and placed her on th
Angelo stared at Isabella in surprise, "first of all, Isabella I don't go to places like 'Buna Casue.' The idea that I sent you a text to meet up with me there is impossible.Secondly, Isabella, I know that I neglected and didn't treat you right because of my misguided hatred toward your parents but I would never dishonor you in that way."Isabella shook her head and wanted to speak but Angelo said, "please hold on and listen, let me finish. When I didn't know you too well, I thought you were a loose girl but while we were stranded on the island, I got to know you better.From the moment I learned that you were still a virgin, I respected your honor in every way possible, If you can still remember. I may not recall what happened that night in detail but I know for a fact that I did not set you up.On that fateful day when I saw you and Steve on the same bed, I woke up at 'Buna Casue' in the room beside yours and saw Christy by my side."Isabella stared at him in surprise, "Christy"?"
Isabella picked up her phone and dialed Steve's number. He answered the call when it rang the second time and asked, "Isa, is everything okay?"Isabella did not want to accuse Steve when she wasn't sure of his involvement in Christy's schemes but she feared that if what Christy said were true, then Steve was capable of denying the truth and playing her for a fool once again.She sighed, "Steve, five years ago when you joined hands with Christy to destroy my life, did you stop to think about how I would feel?"The moment he heard Isabella's question, Steve knew that she had discovered the truth. "I am so sorry Isa. What I did was wrong and I haven't been able to forgive myself for it.I was desperate and when Christy reached out to me and told me that she had a plan to separate you and Angelo, I went along with her because I wanted to have you back in my life."Isabella closed her eyes as tears fell from them. "Please forgive me, Isabella," Steve said."Good night, Steve," Isabella re
Isabella did not know what to feel, everything suddenly felt surreal, it seemed too good to be true. How could it be that things finally worked out for her? She had gotten used to the idea that she would never be with the one her heart truly desired because there was bad blood between them.Angelo had managed to bridge the wide gap between them, after five years. He had come to realize that he was mistaken about her family but did this mean she could feel at ease?She could not bear to get hurt once again, she felt happy and excited but more than that, she felt fear. Would she wake up in the morning and realize that everything had been a figment of her imagination?"Angelo," she whispered, "are you really here in front of me? Is it possible that I am dreaming right now and would wake up to find no trace of you?"Angelo smiled, "I can understand how you feel, Isabella. It's the same for me. Being here with you right now is a dream come true so I have this fear that once morning comes,
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
