Isabella finished baking the cake and stared at it admiringly. She had really put in her best because she wanted Angelo to be blown away when he came back.She looked at the time and saw that it was almost 5 pm. Angelo had said he would be back early which meant that he was probably on his way.She quickly placed the cake in the center of the dining table and kept two bottles of wine beside it. She lit the scented candles and placed them by the sides of the table. It looked really beautiful and in no time, the living room had an alluring fragrance with a romantic ambiance.After setting up everything, Isabella rushed into her bathroom and took a bath, after which she sprayed some perfumes on her body.She wore the sexy blue gown she had bought and applied makeup on her face. She felt content when she stared at herself in the mirror. She had not looked this beautiful ever since she got married to Angelo.So, she was convinced that Angelo would be mesmerized the moment he set his eyes o
After Angelo left, Isabella went to the dining and began to clean up the place, when she was through cleaning, she got ready and left the house. She wanted to see her parents since it had been a while since she last saw them.Although the injury on her arm didn't hurt as it did before, she chose to wear a jacket because she didn't want her parents to see it and start worrying about her.When she arrived home, her parents were so happy especially since they weren't expecting her. Her father observed her for a while and asked, "why do you look so pale? Is Angelo maltreating you?""Far from it dad, Angelo has been nothing short of a model husband. You know I got into this marriage expecting the worst from him but he isn't a bad person.""Nonsense" her dad replied. "I know you are just covering for him because you don't want us to worry. Isa my dear, we are your parents, you can hide your pain from anyone else but you shouldn't hide it from us.Come and place your head on my lap."Isabell
When Angelo woke up the next morning, he recalled what happened the previous night and became worried. He didn't like this behavior of his. He knew that he felt jealous when he thought that Isabella was with Steve and he didn't like feeling this way.What if Isabella actually turned to Steve? She was obviously craving his love and attention and he didn't want to give it to her because he felt that by doing so, he would be betraying his family but the last thing he wanted was for Isabella to run back to Steve who was willing to welcome her with open arms.He didn't feel like going anywhere today but he didn't want to stay behind because he wanted to avoid Isabella. He got ready for work and just when he opened his door, Isabella came out of hers."Good morning Angelo" she greeted him with a smile on her face. He ignored her greeting, opened the door, and left. Isabella watched him through the window as he drove off and sighed sadly. She needed to come up with a plan.She wanted to star
Angelo arrived at the bar and drove over to the parking lot. He came out of the car in a hurry and ended up forgetting his phone inside. Meanwhile, Christy decided to put the next part of her plan into action. She called Steve on the phone and he answered immediately since he had been waiting for her.Due to the loud music, she couldn't hear what he was saying so she went outside the bar to make the call. Angelo spotted Isabella sitting alone with a glass of wine on her table.He walked up to her and did not notice Christy who was talking over the phone outside the bar."Everything is set," Christy said to Steve. Get here right away and Isabella will be all yours.""Thank you so much Christy" Steve replied happily and hung up.After calling Steve, Christy dialed Angelo's number but there was no response. She thought that Angelo was deliberately ignoring her call and decided to use a strange number to call him. After trying to reach him unsuccessfully, she gave up.She believed that A
Angelo kissed Isabella passionately and barely gave her time to catch her breath. He lifted her, took her towards the bed, and placed her on it. Isabella's heart was beating really fast but she was surprised at Angelo's behavior. He seemed too much in a hurry and this was in contrast to his behavior during the times they had almost had sex.She tried to justify his behavior. Perhaps he had held himself back for too long which was why he was so eager. Despite telling herself this, Isabella's countenance began to change. Angelo saw the look on her face and forced himself to stop. While breathing heavily, he stroked her cheeks and asked, "what's wrong?Isabella managed a smile, "nothing, I'm just wondering why you are in such a hurry.""I'm sorry Isabella, I also don't understand what is going on with me but I can't lie to myself anymore. I'm in love with you Isabella. I love you so much and right now, I want nothing more than to be inside you."Isabella looked into Angelo's eyes and be
Both Christy and Steve met the manager. He furrowed his brows when he saw Christy's sad expression. "Haven't I done everything according to your plans? Why do you look sad when you should be happy?"Christy shook her head. "Things haven't turned out the way I wanted. The girl has disappeared and I don't know where she has gone to. Please let me see your CCTV footage."The manager led the both of them into a room and rewound the video footage to when Isabella had just been served the glass of wine.They all watched quietly and saw how Angelo ended up drinking the spiked wine and taking Isabella to the bedroom.Steve balled his fist and angrily punched it into the wall. He knew what was in that glass and with the way Isabella and Angelo had been kissing, he knew what had gone down inside the bedroom. "That should have been me," he said out loud.""Calm down" Christy comforted. "I told you that I already have a backup plan. For now, let's be grateful that Isabella ended up with Angelo an
Isabella had a dream, in it, Angelo confessed his love for her and they consummated their marriage. Her eyes flung open as she recalled that it wasn't a dream. Angelo had indeed made love to her last night and he had confessed his feelings for her.She turned happily to stare at him but was surprised to see Steve sleeping beside her. Realizing she was naked, she quickly wrapped the sheets around her body and tapped Steve on his chest, urging him to wake up.The evidence of her Innocence which she had willingly given up to Angelo last night was right in front of her. Her decision had been based on love and she had her wits about her. She knew for a fact that Angelo was the man she spent the night with so what was Steve doing in her bed?Steve stretched his body and opened his eyes. When he saw Isabella, he sat up immediately and stared at her in surprise. Looking at the blood in front of her he asked, "did we have..""No" Isabella quickly cut him. "Last night, Angelo and I had sex, I k
Isabella quickly got dressed in the bathroom and came out. When she did, she realized that Steve had also put on his clothes. She stared at him with suspicion written all over her face. She didn't know what to believe yet, she knew Steve was a decent and nice guy who would never do anything to hurt her but the fact that he mysteriously woke up in her bed without a plausible explanation was extremely worrying. She needed to find out the truth for herself because it was difficult to trust him at this point.She opened the door and walked out while Steve followed right behind her. When she met the manager of the bar, she said, "excuse me please, last night, my husband, Mr. Angelo Flores, paid for a room here and we spent the night. However, when I woke up this morning, there was someone else in my bed. I vividly remember that my husband Angelo was the one in bed with me last night but for some reason, everything turned out differently this morning. I just want to clear everything up
