ISABELLA When I got home I was very happy, for another day with Alexander, being with him was the best thing that had ever happened to me and it made me so happy."Hello girl" Mirtha greets me with a smile."Hello" I answer with a smile and go to her to give her a hug."How happy you have been these days my girl, that makes me so happy" she says hugging me back."Thank you for being so nice to me" I say letting go of her."You're welcome girl, you should go change" she paused accompanied by a grimace before adding "Your dad just called me to tell me he'll be here in a few hours."I nodded as I assimilated this news, dad would be back and all the joy and relaxation of these days would be gone with his arrival, I know that not everything can always be perfect, but I would have loved to have more time to continue enjoying life together with Alexander. Now I have to make excuses again for not being able to see him and I don't like lying to him at all, but at times like this I have no oth
ALEXANDER I was enjoying my glass of whiskey in front of my balcony, feeling the wind blowing against my face and looking towards the sea savoring my victory, which was very close.Everything was going as I had planned, Isabella's father had no way out and I knew it, he must be totally desperate waiting for a miracle and for someone to help him, but no one halfway intelligent would help him at a time like this. Helping him would only mean losing money that would never be recovered and even getting in trouble with the law, just to try to save a bastard who didn't deserve it.He would finally pay for what he has done, not only to my dad but to so many other people, he would finally be where he belongs, locked up behind bars living a hell, in which he could atone for every one of his sins.This was the end of everything, of my revenge, of his freedom, of my relationship with Isabella and my stay here, all this will end very soon.And I will only be left with the memories of her, of ever
ISABELLA"Happy birthday Isa" Caroline says hugging me with a smile."Thank you" I reply returning the smile."Here" She says extending a gift bag towards me and as I take it she looks for something else in her purse and when she finds it she says "and this one Andrew sent it to you."Giving me a beautiful little black velvet box with a silver ribbon wrapped around it, which clearly must have a piece of jewelry in it, I had told her that she didn't have to get me anything this year because she was away, but typical Andrew always goes against the grain."Thanks again and I'll thank him later.""Open Andrew's and you open mine at your house." She said a little anxiously."I'll open them both at my place.""Please Isa, I'm dying to see it and Andrew won't let me open it" She insists grabbing my arm and pouting."Ok" I agree and when I open the box I am shocked at the sight, it was a gold necklace with a sunflower charm my favorite flower, with small diamonds embedded in the center."It's

I clarify that in no context the situations described in this chapter seem good to me or I approve of them.ISABELLAOn my way home I received many calls from Andrew, I don't know if Caroline or Mike told him about what happened or if he is just calling to congratulate me and see if I liked his gift, but right now I don't want to talk to anyone, not even him, I feel too broken, I just want to lock myself in my little world to try to heal my wounds alone and try to assimilate all this, so I turned off my phone before I got home.When I arrived I was surprised to find my dad sitting on the couch, looking really furious, like he was about to explode, his face was red and he had a bottle of whiskey in his hand which he was drinking straight from, this sight frightened me, I had never seen him so angry, so I wanted to just go straight up to my room trying to go
ALEXANDER Back at the hotel, I am surprised to find Caroline at the front desk and when she notices my presence she walks towards me furious and slaps me, which I didn't dodge, I knew I deserved it."How dare you do that to her?" she asks with her eyes clouding over with tears wanting to come out."I don't want to talk about it, excuse me" I say trying to walk past her, but she grabs my arm."You're not leaving like that, not after what you did to her" she said and without being able to help it anymore her tears started to run down her face "She didn't deserve that, I trust you and I give you all of her."Her words cut deep into my heart tearing it even more, I want to scream at her that I didn't want things to end like this and less on her birthday, but she is not the one I would have to explain things to."Please let me go" I tell her as calmly as I can, I don't want to keep hearing how much I hurt the woman I love and what an idiot I was for doing it."Why did you do it, did you r
Currently.ALEXANDER After Isabella got out of the emergency room I stayed with her all day keeping her company and had spent the night in the hospital, but in the afternoon of the next day I left her in Caroline's care to go to my hotel to take a shower and then settle some pending accounts.That's what I came to do the moment I arrived at the house where my sister lives, I believed everything Caroline had told me but I needed an explanation from Emma or at least to be held accountable for her actions."Good afternoon young man" Carmina greeted letting me pass."Where is my sister?" I asked directly, at this point I had no time for cordialities I needed to get back to the hospital as soon as possible."In her room." hearing her answer I went straight upstairs and opened the door to her room without knocking.She was lying on the bed apparently watching something on her phone and when she saw me enter she looked at me puzzled."What are you doing here?" she asked without preamble and
ALEXANDER I was just arriving at Isabella's room when a blond man of about my height and build upon seeing me walks towards me looking furious, I can deduce that it is Andrew as he is here accompanied by Caroline and Mike."What are you doing here you bastard? You have no right to go near Isabella." He said through his teeth and clenching his jaw."You're nobody to tell me what to do, so step aside.""No, I want you to get the hell out of here and stay the hell away from her.""I don't give a shit what you want." I blurted out losing my patience."This is no place for fights" Caroline interjected as she walked over."I know but he doesn't deserve to be around her when he's responsible for what happened to her."I am very clear that I don't deserve to be near Isabella, but I simply can't walk away and much less if she is like this, I need to see her well so if she asks me to walk away, the rest I wouldn't."Andrew that's enough, let's go get a coffee, let him see her." He said and the
ALEXANDER "What progress have they made?" asked Andrew referring to the search for Isabella's father.A month had already passed, Isabella was fully recovered from the blows but still did not wake up, the doctors said that everything was fine, but still there was no response from her and it was too scary to see that the days passed and she still could not open her eyes, it had us all very desperate.During this time Andrew and I found a way to be moderately at peace, after all we spent too much time in the hospital with Isabella, so we had to find a way to support each other, we could not make a scene in the hospital and it was too uncomfortable to be always hostile to a person you are with every day."Everything is still the same, they are looking for him but he hasn't left any trace" I answered frustrated.I was tired of Isabella remaining in a coma while that coward was free, without paying for what he did to her.It was very frustrating to know that he hurt his daughter so much o
