2025-03-14 02:31:12Isabella's eyes fluttered open, and she was met with an empty space beside her. She stretched, arching her back, and a soft smile spread across her face as she recalled the passionate night she'd shared with Vincent. Her gaze fell upon Vincent's phone lying on the bedside table.
She picked it up, her fingers tracing the familiar contours of the device. A sudden pang of nostalgia hit her, and she missed her uncle, Luca. It had been far too long since they'd last spoken. Without hesitation, she dialed his number, and the phone rang several times before Luca's deep voice answered.
"Hello?" Luca's tone was cautious, a hint of wariness underlying his words.
"It's me," Isabella replied, trying to sound cheerful despite the nagging sense of unease.
"Isabella?" Luca's voice sharpened, panic creeping into his tone. "Are you okay? I've been trying to reach you for days."
Isabella's heart swelled with emotion as she realized how worried her uncl

Vincent's eyes gleamed with amusement as he took in Isabella's distraught expression. "It's clear from your face that you've discovered quite a bit," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Well, let me remind you that in my house, no prisoner is allowed to use their phone. And you, my dear, are my most beautiful prisoner."Isabella's face contorted in rage, her voice rising to a shout. "Bastard! I trusted you!"Vincent's laughter was low and menacing, sending a chill down Isabella's spine. "Trust," he sneered. "It's so easy to win the trust of a naive girl like you."Isabella's eyes blazed with tears as she spat out the words. "I loved you, Vincent. I loved you with all my heart."Vincent's expression turned cold, his eyes glinting with disdain. "An arrogant girl like you doesn't deserve anyone's love. But you do deserve my bed. Remember how you were writhing beneath me last night? Don't worry, I'll give you the same pleasure every day,

Mia's mind racing with thoughts of her sister's safety, she knew she had to act fast. She fumbled for her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed Luca's number."Luca, please...you have to help me," Mia begged, her voice cracking with emotion. "Brandon's trying to kill my sister. He's working with his mafia brother. I don't know what to do."Luca's voice was calm and reassuring. "Tell me everything, Mia. I'll take care of it."As Mia poured out the entire story, Luca listened intently, his mind racing with strategies and plans. He knew he had to act fast to save Isabella, and he was determined todojustthat."What have I gotten myself into? First, Vincent's involvement with Isabella, and now Brandon's vendetta against her? This is getting uglier by the minute.""I have to act fast. I need to get to Isabella before Vincent or Brandon can harm her. But how? I don't even know where she is.""Think, Luca, think.

Isabella sat in the corner of her room, her eyes fixed on the wall as she felt the weight of her captivity bearing down on her. She couldn't escape, couldn't contact anyone, couldn't do anything but wait for someone to come and rescue her.As the hours ticked by, Isabella's dinner sat untouched on the bedside table. She had no appetite, no desire to eat or drink anything. She just wanted to be free.But freedom was a luxury she didn't have. Not yet, anyway.It was late, the middle of the night, when Vincent stumbled into her room. He was drunk, his eyes glassy and unfocused. He staggered over to the bedside table, his gaze falling on the untouched food."Why didn't you eat?" He slurred, his voice thick with alcohol.Isabella didn't respond. She just lay there, her eyes fixed on Vincent with a mixture of hatred and contempt.Vincent's eyes narrowed, his face twisting into a scowl. "What do you think, huh? That if you don't eat,

Vincent's eyes narrowed, his mind consumed by a nagging sense of unease. "What's wrong with me?" he muttered to himself, his voice low and perplexed. "Why the fuck do I hurt whenever I see her eyes, those fucking tears?"He couldn't understand why Isabella's tears affected him so deeply. He was a man who had seen and done it all, a man who had never been swayed by emotions. But there was something about Isabella that got under his skin, something that made him feel...Vincent's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his phone. He glanced at the screen, his expression darkening as he saw the caller ID. He hesitated for a moment before picking up the call."Why did you call me?" Vincent's voice was curt, his tone dismissive.There was a pause on the other end of the line before a sultry voice spoke up. "Vincent, for how many months have you not met me, and you're angry when I call?"Vincent's eyes rolled in exasperation. "Megan, I'

Vincent's lips crashed down on Isabella's, his kiss rough and demanding. "Kiss back, Isabella."Isabella's voice was muffled against Vincent's lips. "I hate you."Vincent's eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't stop kissing her. "I know, but I want you to kiss back like you did last night."Isabella's words were a slap in Vincent's face. "There's a difference between last night and today. Last night, I loved the man who pretended to love me, who saved my life and made me feel loved. But today, that same man is standing in front of me as a betrayer, a liar, and a selfish monster."Vincent's eyes narrowed, his face pale with anger. "Don't make me angry, Isabella."Isabella's voice was steady. "Or what? What will you do, Vincent?"Vincent's smile was a cold, cruel thing. "You'll regret it."Isabella's eyes flashed with defiance. "I'm regretting already."Vincent's lips crashed down on Isabella's again, his kiss pass

Vincent and Isabella sat at the dining table, the tension between them palpable. Vincent gestured to the spread of food before them. "Have breakfast."Isabella's eyes locked onto his, her expression cold and calculating. "I'll eat on one condition." Vincent's eyebrows raised, his interest piqued. "What's that?"Isabella's voice was steady, her words measured. "If you allow me to go outside this house."Vincent's smile was a slow, deliberate thing. "What if you try to run away?"Isabella's gaze never wavered. "This area is vast, full of forests. Do you think I could escape from here?" Vincent's eyes narrowed, his mind working overtime. He knew Isabella was clever and resourceful. But he also knew that his estate was a fortress, impossible to breach. "Okay," he said finally, his voice dripping with condescension. "You can go outside. I'm going out for some work. I hope you'll be a good girl." Isabella's face

"How dare you lie to me?" Vincent's voice was a low, menacing growl. "Because of you, I kept blaming an innocent person." Vincent turned and walked away, leaving Brandon and Mia staring after him in shock. Brandon's face twisted with rage as he turned to Mia. "Mia, get out of this house." Mia's eyes widened in shock. "I'm eight months pregnant, Brandon." Brandon's expression didn't change. "I don't care. Just leave." Mia's face crumpled, tears streaming down her face as she stumbled backward, away from Brandon. "Get out!!" Brandon's voice was a roar, echoing through the hallway. "How could Mia betray me like this? She's supposed to be on my side, not Isabella's. And Vincent...my own brother...how could he doubt me? "It's all Isabella's fault. She's the one who's been manipulating everyone, playing the victim. But I know the truth. I know she's a lyi

Isabella ran through the dense forest, her feet pounding against the damp earth. She had to escape, had to get away from Vincent and his twisted games. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she had to keep moving. The trees seemed to close in around her, their branches tangling together above her head like skeletal fingers. Isabella's heart was racing, her breath coming in short gasps. She stumbled over roots and fallen branches, her ankles twisting painfully. But she didn't stop. She couldn't stop. Not until she was safe. Suddenly, the ground gave way beneath her feet. Isabella cried out as she felt herself falling, her stomach lurching with a sickening sense of weightlessness. She managed to grab onto a rocky outcropping, her fingers closing around it like a vice. Isabella hung there, suspended in mid-air, her legs dangling over the edge of the cliff. The wind buffeted her, threa

The Betrayal Chapter 50
Isabella felt the heat from Vincent's hands on her cheeks, his thumbs gently caressing her skin as his proposal hung in the air between them. The warmth of his touch sent waves of desire coursing through her body, making it difficult to think clearly.Her eyes searched his, looking for any sign of doubt or deceit. But all she found was the same intensity, the same love, that had been burning within him since the day they had met.Vincent's gaze never wavered, his eyes boring into hers with a fierce determination. "Marry me, Isabella," he repeated, his voice a soft rumble that seemed to vibrate through her very core.Her breath hitched, and she felt her heart swell with emotions she had never allowed herself to fully experience. For a moment, she was lost in the depths of those piercing brown eyes, feeling the weight of his promise, his love, pressing down on her like a warm, comforting blanket.But reality came crashing back with a jolt. This was Vincent Moreno, the Mafia King, the ma

"Luca, can I ask you something?" He said, his voice low and serious.Luca nodded, his eyes locked on Vincent's. "Of course," he said. "What is it?"Vincent leaned forward, his elbows on the bar. "Why are you so loyal and caring towards Isabella?" he asked, his eyes searching Luca's face for answers.Luca's expression softened, and he looked away for a moment, collecting his thoughts. When he turned back to Vincent, his eyes were filled with a deep sadness."I was Isabella's mother's bodyguard," Luca said, his voice low and gravelly. "I was sworn to protect her and her family. When her mother passed away, she asked me to promise to take care of Isabella, to keep her safe from harm."Luca's eyes clouded over, and he paused, collecting himself before continuing."Isabella's mother knew that her stepmother would not treat Isabella kindly. She knew that she would be in danger, and she begged me to protect her. I promised her that I would, and I've kept that promise all these years."Vincen

Isabella walked into the house with Luca; she was taken aback by the vibrant decorations that adorned the walls and ceilings. The room was transformed into a colorful and festive atmosphere, with balloons, streamers, and a giant "Welcome Home Luca" banner hanging above the food table.Isabella's eyes widened in surprise as she took in the scene before her. She had expected a simple welcome party, but what she saw was a full-blown celebration. Vincent's men, burly and intimidating, were busy blowing up balloons and arranging them into intricate arches. The maids were scurrying around, putting the finishing touches on the food and drinks.But what caught Isabella's attention was Zyne, who was standing in the center of the room, directing the proceedings with the confidence of a seasoned leader. Despite being only 7 years old, he was barking orders and instructions to the adults around him, who were surprisingly obedient to his commands."More balloons over here!" Zyne shouted, pointing

Vincent walked into Luca's hospital room, his eyes scanning the space until they landed on Isabella. Her smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a wary expression.Vincent's eyes lingered on Isabella for a moment before he turned to Luca. "How are you doing, Luca?" he asked, his voice low and concerned.Luca smiled weakly. "I'm doing okay, Vincent. Just a little tired."Vincent nodded, his eyes flicking to Isabella again. "Isabella, I wanted to talk to you," he said, his voice hesitant. "I know I've hurt you, and I'm sorry. I won't bother you again. I'm leaving."Isabella's expression didn't change, but Vincent could see the pain and wariness in her eyes. He took a step forward, his arms opening. "Can I just hug my son?" he asked, his voice cracking with emotion.Isabella nodded curtly, and Vincent walked over to Zyne. He hugged his son tightly, his eyes closing as he breathed in the little boy's scent.After a moment, Vincent released Zyne and turned to Isabella. "Goodbye," he said,
The Betrayal Chapter 46
Isabella's words hung in the air like a challenge, a stark reminder of the pain and betrayal she had endured. "I know," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I know you think you love me, but I'll never be able to trust anyone again."Vincent's eyes searched hers, desperate for a glimmer of hope, but Isabella's expression was resolute. "My whole life, I've been betrayed by those I loved," she continued, her voice cracking with emotion. "And now, I've found happiness with my son. My small world is full of joy, and there's no place for outsiders."He knew he didn't deserve her forgiveness, not after what he'd done. But he had hoped, foolishly perhaps, that she might find it in her heart to give him another chance.But Isabella was resolute. She turned and walked away, leaving Vincent standing alone, his heart heavy with sorrow. He knew how painful it was to love someone and have them leave. He had experienced it before, and now he was reliving it all over again.As he watched Isa

Vincent's face twisted in anger. "You lied to me and turned me against Isabella," he spat. "You conspired for her death, while all the fault was yours. If you do anything to my love and my son, I'll give you a painful death."Brandon laughed, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Shoot him," he ordered his men, his voice dripping with malice.Brandon's face turned red with rage as he screamed at his men, "Shoot this fucking' bastard!" But to his shock, none of them moved. They just stood there, their eyes fixed on Vincent with a mixture of fear and admiration.Vincent smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You think I'm a mafia king just like that, and it's so easy to kill me?" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "All your men are mine. Well, it wasn't that difficult. Their family members are in my custody at this time, so these people will do what I tell them."Brandon's eyes widened in shock and rage. "You bastard!" he spat, his hand shaking with fury as he raised his gun and

Brandon's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Isabella. "Everything happened because of you," he spat, his voice venomous. "She died because of you."Isabella's face contorted in a mixture of grief and fear. "Look what happened," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I'm sorry, but my son is innocent. Leave him please, he's only 7 years old."Brandon's face twisted in a snarl. "My baby wasn't even born when he died!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the walls.Isabella took a step back, her eyes wide with fear. "He was a victim of your hatred and revenge," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Brandon's eyes flashed with anger, and he lunged at Isabella, grabbing her hair and pulling her towards him. "You deserve the same pain I've been through," he hissed, his breath hot against her ear.Isabella's eyes went wide with terror as Brandon's words sent a chill down her spine. "But before that," he continued, his voice dripping with malice, "we were engaged, but you never let me t
The Betrayal Chapter 43
Isabella's heart pounded in her chest as she stepped into the grand mansion, her eyes scanning the opulent decor with a mixture of fear and determination. She had come for one reason: to rescue her son, Zyne.As she walked through the foyer, she noticed the guards stationed in front of the door, their eyes fixed on her with a curious expression. But to her surprise, none of them moved to stop her. It was as if they had been instructed to let her pass.Isabella's instincts screamed at her to be cautious, but she pressed on, her feet carrying her deeper into the mansion. She turned a corner and entered a lavish living room, where Brandon stood waiting for her."Ah, you're finally here, Isabella," Brandon said, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been waiting for you."Isabella's eyes locked onto Brandon's, her heart racing with anger and fear. "Leave my son alone, Brandon," she spat, her voice trembling with emotion.Brandon chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, Isabella, w

Isabella's voice trembled as she recounted the events that had led to Zyne's disappearance. "We went for lunch; I was in the washroom, and some guards were with him. When I came back, my guards were injured; they had bullet injuries, and my son was missing."Her words trailed off as she burst into tears, her body shaking with sobs. Vincent's expression turned deathly serious, his eyes narrowing into slits."I didn't kidnap our son, Isabella," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "I can't do that. I want you both back."Isabella's tears slowed as she looked up at Vincent, her eyes searching for any sign of deception. But all she saw was a fierce determination, a burning anger that seemed to radiate from every pore."I promise you, whoever kidnapped our son will pay dearly," Vincent continued, his voice dripping with venom. "I will give him a very painful death. I promise you."With that, Vincent turned and strode out of the room, leaving Isabella staring after him in shock. She felt
