Isabella signed the contract which had been duplicated into two copies by Angelo. She handed one copy over to her father's lawyer and gave the other copy back to Angelo.
After signing the contract Angelo told Isabella, "it is done. All that is left now is for us to sign the marriage papers and all your father's properties, everything he has lost, will be returned back to him."Isabella went into the marriage court with Angelo and they both signed the marriage papers. "This is it" Angelo said after signing the documents. "We are now officially man and wife"Angelo took out his phone and made a phone call after which he told Isabella that her father had gotten back everything he lost. Isabella found it difficult to believe that everything had been returned to her family so quickly."Let's go home" Angelo told Isabella. However, she said, "I need to confirm the information you just gave me right now and I need to go back to the hospital to check on my father and get my luggage.""That will not be necessary" Angelo replied. "Leave it to me. Your duty now is to go home, make sure the house is in order and prepare dinner before I get back from work. I will go to the hospital and fetch whatever belongings you have left behind."Isabella bid her father's lawyer goodbye and got into Angelo's car while he drove her to his house. On their way Isabella looked at Angelo's face. he wore a very serious expression on his face and she couldn't figure out what was going through his mind.She thought about the advice her mum had given her before she left the hospital. Her mum had told her, "Isabella, Angelo is gravely mistaken about us. It is possible that someone has fed him lies or he has gathered the wrong information because he was only a boy back when that incident happened and he wasn't present.One thing is certain, he has so much anger and hatred toward us. since you have insisted on accepting his marriage proposal for our sake, the best thing you can do right now is to soften his anger.I know Angelo is going to torture you and that's probably the reason why he wants to get married to you. He knows that if you are suffering, it will be extremely painful for your father and I and that will be his way of getting revenge.He is going to be really mean to you and I know that you have so much hatred for him but please, try to get past your hatred. Show him kindness and care and you will soften his anger and clear his misconception about us because, once upon a time, Angelo's mother and I were the very best of friends.I know you have a very good heart and I know you're a very lovable person. Your father now has extreme hatred for Angelo and may try to fight him for your sake. Remember that only you can end this feud between us."Isabella sighed as she knew that what her mum was asking of her was extremely weighty, but if that was the price she had to pay for her family to be in peace, she was willing to do it."We are here," Angelo said interrupting Isabella's thoughts. She promptly came down from the car and got into the house with Angelo however the sight that greeted her was extremely disturbing.The house looked worse than a trashcan. It was really disgusting. There were dirts and faeces strewn all around the living room and the stench made her feel like throwing up. She couldn't imagine herself staying here for even a minute. She found it surprising because the house was really beautiful and classy on the outside."Home sweet home" Angelo said with a mischievous smile on his face. "So I'm going to head back to work now, make sure you clean the whole house and keep it in order.The kitchen is much worse than this so you are going to be really busy. Make sure you clean the kitchen as well and prepare dinner for us. On my way back from work, I will stop by the hospital and get your luggage for you.""Don't you dare leave me here" Isabella warned as Angelo tried to lock her inside the house. She struggled with him but lost in the end because he was too strong for her. Angelo locked her inside, took the keys of the house and drove away in his car.Isabella closed her nostrils with her fingers as she felt stupefied by the strong smell that emanated from the living room. Her first thought was to dial 911 but she didn't think she would be able to wait for them to arrive.She looked around the house and noticed a dirty stool by the couch. she took the stool and quickly smashed it on the window, breaking it into pieces. When she jumped out through the window, she sustained a few cuts on her beautiful skin but was finally able to have a breath of fresh air.As she sat outside the house, while trying to catch her breath, she puked all over the floor. What she had just witnessed was extremely traumatising for her. She thought of her next line of action and decided to go to the hospital, see her family and take a bath.On her way out of the compound, she remembered what her mum had told her. She needed to clean the house if she wanted to promote peace but she couldn't bring herself to step foot inside that house ever again, even if it was later cleaned and renovated.She knew there were going to be consequences since she had already broken the agreement in the contract. She stood for some time, unsure of what to do. After a while, she made up her mind and started walking away. She turned back, looked at the house one more time and screamed, "to hell with you Angelo."Angelo Flores sat in his office waiting for a phone call. He played with his phone and swung it back and forth as he had a mischievous smile on his face. His phone finally rang and he immediately answered the call, asking, "yes, what is the update?"the person on the other end of the phone said, "well, she broke the window and jumped out of the house and she said you should go to hell."Angelo laughed and said, "oh really? is that so? well, I will send her there first." Isabella didn't disappoint him at all, he thought to himself."Nothing short of what I would expect from a spoilt princess," he said happily. He neatened his suit, got up from his chair and left his office.Isabella stopped a cab and asked the driver to take her to Mato Hospital. She felt her time would be better spent by her father's side. On her way to the hospital, she once more thought about steve and wondered if he had gotten over his anger. She decided to call him but, after bringing out his number on her phone,
Isabella came out of the room feeling very self conscious. The heels were so high that walking was more or less a chore. When Angelo saw her, he smiled and said "perfect. You look so beautiful my lovely wife."Isabella ignored the mockery in his voice as she just wanted to get this night over with. As she waited for Angelo to pay the make up artist, she fidgeted with her phone anxiously. When the lady had gone, Angelo snatched the phone from Isabella's hands while saying, "you won't be needing this tonight princess".He took the phone into her room and threw it on the bed before escorting her out. Acting like a gentleman, he opened the door of the car for Isabella and let her into the passenger seat, while he took hold of the wheels and drove off.On their way to the club, Isabella kept looking at him, wondering what exactly he wanted to do to her. Was he planning to have sex with her at the club? She cringed at the thought and hoped that it wasn't anything of that nature.When they f
Isabella struggled to control her anger which was slowly rising. Angelo had described her as a whore in her presence. As if that was not bad enough, he was pimping her out on a silver platter to this wanton stranger.Isabella was so angry that her eyes stung from the tears she tried to inhibit. She made a promise to herself that she would pay Angelo back, even if it was the last thing she did.The man whom Angelo had offered Isabella to, could not believe his ears. He expressed his appreciation by thanking Angelo and showering him with praises. The more he stared at Isabella's fair skin and beautiful face, the more he was enthralled. "I'm going to enjoy you so much baby," he said as he walked much closer to her and grabbed her butt cheeks.Isabella smashed one of the bottles she was holding on the man's head, drawing blood immediately. As Angelo stood up to interfere, she threw the other bottle at him. He instinctively protected his face with his arm. The bottle shattered on his arm a
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
