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
Angelo suddenly had an idea. He took out his phone to dial Isabella's number. He wanted to tell her what was going on so she could stall the wedding for a little while. However, the man behind the young woman said, "no, throw the phone at me." Angelo stared at the man but ignored him and went ahead to dial Isabella's number but the man said, "I'm only going to count to three Mr. Flores and your sister will be gone. One, two."Seeing that Angelo wasn't willing to budge and the man behind her had counted up to two, the young woman closed her eyes and screamed, "no, please no." Just as the man said three, Angelo threw the phone at him and he caught it.Isabella picked up the call just as the phone landed on the man's hand. She said, "hi darling, guess where your bride is right now." The man ended the call without saying anything in reply.Isabella realized that the call had been disconnected and was surprised. She had just arrived at the church and wanted to let Angelo know but before
A FEW HOURS EARLIERIsabella waited for Angelo but when she didn't see him about thirty minutes later, she became afraid that something had happened to him. She called his number again and this time it went through but there was no answer.She became even more worried and her eyes became misty. She briefly imagined him lying in a pool of blood and instantly got up but her maid of honor held her back and said, "sit down please, you are the bride and it's not proper for you to act this way."Isabella received a text message at that point and sat back down. She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized it was from Angelo. However, as she read the contents, her hands began to shake. The text read, "I'm sorry Isabella, I thought I wanted this but I just realized at the last minute that I'm not ready to commit to one woman just yet.There are so many beautiful and sexy ladies out there and I am a very hot guy. It is selfish of you to want me all to yourself and I'm not ready to tie myself d
Angelo ran towards Damon who stared at him in surprise. He tapped Damon on the shoulder without a word and ran into the church. However, he was surprised to find it almost empty.There was no sign of Isabella or Mirabella. He slowly walked out of the church and stared at Damon in surprise, "where is my wife and everyone else?""Are you being serious right now," Damon asked. "Dude, your wedding was two hours ago. Here I was, worried that something had happened to you but it turns out you are completely fine. Your wife got married to another man and everyone left after that."Angelo stared at him in surprise and warned, "look, Damon, I know you are upset that I'm late and I understand. However, this joke is not funny. How can my wife marry someone else?""His name is Hamzat, I think," Damon replied. "But what really happened man? I heard your bride was all tears."Angelo closed his eyes as he felt his heart break. He could not bring himself to imagine what Isabella must have gone throug
Angelo laughed even harder as he felt that Hamzat was acting like a clown. Inside the house, both Mirabella and Isabella heard Angelo's voice which was quite loud.After her grandparents dropped her off yesterday, Mirabella had been crying that she wanted to see her dad until Isabella lost it and yelled at her. Ever since then, she had not said a word about Angelo but after hearing his voice, she could not hold back.She screamed, "daddy," and happily ran out to meet Angelo. Isabella did not try to stop her because she knew that it would only make her cry.When Mirabella got to the door, Hamzat made room for her to pass. She ran into Angelo's arms as he went on one knee to hug her. He lifted her off the ground and turned her around until she began to scream excitedly.He eventually took her towards his car and placed her on top of it while Hamzat stood by the door staring at the both of them."I missed you so much, Daddy," Mirabella said. "You said you were going to marry mummy but y
Isabella's face turned red in anger and she walked towards Angelo, "how dare you?" She asked and slapped him across the face.Angelo did not try to dodge the slap. He stared at Isabella as her eyes became misty while she struggled not to cry."What do you think of yourself, Angelo? Do you think the world revolves around you or that you are the best thing since God made men?You probably thought that if you stood me up at the altar, I would end my life. Well, you failed Angelo. You may think you are hot but the truth remains that you are dispensable.I stayed without you for years and as you know I was doing just fine by myself. My life will still go on without you. As a matter of fact, I married someone so much better than you. The only thing left is for me to sign the divorce papers so I can be free from you. Angelo Flores, after that, you can go to hell.I am walking out of this place and don't you even dare try to stop me."After speaking, Isabella turned to leave but Angelo hugged
