Isabella was woken up by the sound of the door opening. She had spent the night shivering outside until sleep finally overtook her. She stood up slowly and turned to face Angelo who was standing by the door. He stared at her disgustedly and said, "get in quickly before people around will know that there's a cheap prostitute living in my house."Isabella stared at him for a while without saying anything and quietly walked inside. As she passed by him, she noticed the deep cut on his arm. The blood had dried up and he didn't even bother to get it cleaned up. She told herself that he deserved it for what he did to her at the club.She felt really tired and her back ached from sitting in one position for too long. She quickly went into the bathroom, freshened up, and put on something decent. She picked up her phone which Angelo had thrown on the bed last night and noticed that there were several missed calls from her mum.Isabella quickly returned her mum's call. Her mum answered the call
When Isabella got to her room, she laid under the quilt and covered herself with it. Her marriage to Angelo hadn't even completed two days and she was already exhausted. She decided that the best thing for her to do was to avoid Angelo as much as possible.Henceforth, she will live as if she didn't exist in the house, she will immerse herself in so much work that Angelo would not get the chance to even come close to her. She was done taking her mum's advice and she was done trying to promote peace and showing him any form of kindness.She would behave herself but if he tried to cross the line, she would show him a very crazy side to her. But right now, she was feeling very sad and lonely. She wished she could vent to someone but Steve was the closest friend she had. It had already been more than three days. Was he still mad at her?She hadn't even told him about her marriage to Angelo. Would he hate her if she told him the truth? She missed him so much and wondered if it was possible
Steve tried his best to convince Isabella to trust in him because he was going to fight for their love but she refused and ended the call. Steve decided to take the next available flight to Panama and immediately began making preparations.When Isabella ended the call, she went back under the quilt and cried her heart out.Hearing her conversation and seeing her cry so much began to tug at Angelo's heartstrings. He started to think about his actions toward her. Was he being unreasonable?He never knew that Isabella had someone she was so much in love with. She had given up so much for her parent's happiness.As he walked back to his room, Angelo slowly began to feel bad about how he had been treating Isabella.He took out a box from under his bed and brought out the pictures that were inside. As he looked at the pictures, he recalled how he used to play with his little sister outside their garden. He also recalled what his uncle had told him."Antonio Monte deliberately pushed your he
Isabella stared at the parts of her phone in shock before pushing Angelo away and running back to her room. She brushed her teeth again and sat down on her bed thinking of what to do. She was feeling very hungry but didn't want to step her foot into Angelo's kitchen.She searched for good restaurants using her laptop and ordered for Pizza online. She paid and waited for it to arrive meanwhile, Angelo went back to sit on the couch. He didn't bother to wash off the blood on the surface of his skin from Isabella's bite.The doorbell rang and Isabella knew that her pizza had arrived. She quickly came out of her room and opened the door before Angelo could react. She opened the pizza box to ensure that it was the type she had ordered for and signed before taking it inside.Just as she turned with the pizza, she saw Angelo standing in front of her. She noticed the blood on his arm and naturally felt the need to help him treat it but when she recalled the things he had said to her the last t
When Isabella came back, it was already getting dark. She thought that Angelo would already be back and prepared a speech for him about trying to live together in peace but she met the house the same way she had left it.She went back into her room and suddenly began to sneeze. She realized that she had caught a cold from running in the rain and sleeping outside. She had taken a few pills earlier in the day but it seemed that it was more serious than she had thought.She quickly went out to a pharmacy and got more drugs for herself. Even when she came back, Angelo was still not back. She felt he had probably decided to spend the night outside so, she locked the door and went into her room to retire for the night.She took her bath and when she wanted to change into her nightwear, she realized that she only had the sexy lingerie which Steve had gotten for her. She had packed her bags in a haste and didn't remember to take proper clothes. Anyways, when she left London for Panama, she h
Angelo tasted the food without giving away any expression and Isabella sighed in relief when she saw him swallow the food. However, when he took the second spoon into his mouth, he spat out the food and screamed at the top of his voice, "what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to kill my taste buds with this rubbish?"Isabella was shocked at first because she knew for a fact that the taste of the food was excellent but then she remembered that Angelo was deliberately trying to make her miserable so she kept calm.She looked at him and apologized, "I am so sorry Angelo. I sincerely thought you would like the food. Please let me cook something else for you. Just tell me what you would like to eat.""Don't bother, I would rather starve." Angelo said as he angrily stood up from the chair and began walking back into his room. When he got to his door, he stopped, turned towards Isabella and said, "you are such a disgrace to womanhood.I deluded myself into believing that you would at le
After thinking for a while, Isabella dialled Steve's number. When he picked up, she said, "I am so sorry Steve. I told you about the sort of person Angelo is and asked you not to come here but you still came.You know that I cannot bear to see you being treated badly so please, go back to London and move on with your life. Someday we might meet again and end up together if we're destined to be.""Isabella, I do not regret coming to see you at all. Now I understand what you have been going through and I promise you that I will free you from that marriage, even if it's the last thing I do."Just as Isabella ended her call with Steve, Angelo knocked on her door and said, "Isabella, I have a business party to attend in the evening and want you to come with so make sure you get ready when it's time. We leave by six."Isabella closed her eyes and said, "not again" she knew from experience that going to a party with Angelo meant trouble for her. She briefly recalled what happened the last ti
Angelo looked at Isabella and asked, "what are you waiting for? Keep moving."Turning to Christy who was now feeling embarassed, he said, "let's go christy."They all went in together and Isabella watched as Angelo greeted a few people familiarly. She noticed that Christy stuck to his side and clearly wondered the nature of their relationship.She had been hopeful that Christy had Angelo's heart but seeing the way Angelo acted earlier made her have doubts.She decided to be friendly towards Christy so she could find out more about her relationship with Angelo.However, when she smiled at Christy, she stared at her angrily and blinked her eyes. Isabella wondered why Christy reacted that way. Could Angelo have told her to do so? Or did she consider her a threat to her relationship?Either way, she decided to mind her business like Angelo had warned. She knew nothing about their relationship so it was best for her to act this way.She was feeling quite weak and her temperature was still
