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'

"Isabella, I brought you some medication to help with your... condition," he said gently.But Isabella wasn't listening. She was too busy trying to process the news she had just received. She felt like she was in a daze, like she was living in a nightmare.Luca, her father's former personal guard, stood by the window, watching her with a concerned expression. He had been like a father to her since her mother's passing when she was just seven years old. Her father, a wealthy businessman, had remarried soon after, but Isabella's stepmother had never taken a liking to her. Despite this, Isabella had grown into

Mia's voice was defensive as she spoke up for her sister. "You're blaming my sister; she's cold but not so cruel," she said, her eyes flashing with anger.Brandon's expression was grim. "He has a strong reason, Mia, and you know it," he said, his voice low and even.Mia shook her head. "I know my sister; she's not what you think," she said, her voice firm.But Olivia was having none of it. Her face was twisted with anger and hatred. "Stop favoring your stepsister; she did all this," she spat, her voice venomous. "First, she caused Brandon's parents to have an accident, then she set our factory on fire and destroyed everything. She's taking revenge."The room fell silent, with everyone staring at Olivia in shock. But before anyone could respond, Brandon's phone rang, shrill in the silence.He answered it, his face turning serious as he listened to the person on the other end.

Isabella stood in front of the mirror, her hands moving deftly as she finished getting ready for the party. She slipped into a stunning black evening gown, the silk fabric hugging her curves in all the right places. The dress was a masterpiece of design, with intricate beading and embroidery that caught the light as she moved.As she turned to examine herself from different angles, her long, brown hair cascaded down her back in loose waves, framing her heart-shaped face. Her bright blue eyes sparkled like sapphires in the dim light, and her lips curled into a soft, enigmatic smile. She looked...breathtaking.Just as she was finishing up her makeup, there was a soft knock at the door. Isabella's eyes flicked towards the sound, and she smiled as she saw Luca standing in the doorway.Isabella smiled warmly at Luca, her eyes sparkling with affection. "Uncle, you can go home if you want," she said, her voice gentle. "I know you don't like parties."Luca's expression turned skeptical, his e

Isabella slowly opened her eyes; she was met with an unfamiliar ceiling. She tried to sit up, but a wave of pain washed over her, forcing her back onto the pillow. Her head was spinning, and her hands felt heavy and restricted. She looked down to see that they were bandaged, along with her head.Panic began to set in as she scrambled to remember how she had ended up in this strange bedroom. The last thing she remembered was driving home from the party, and then... the chasing cars, the gun pointed at her, the crash. It all came flooding back, and Isabella's heart began to race.Just as she was starting to feel overwhelmed, a man appeared in the doorway. He was tall, with brown eyes that seemed to hold a deep warmth. He smiled as he approached her, his eyes crinkling at the corners."Who are you?" Isabella demanded, trying to keep her voice steady. "And how did I get here?"The man's smile faltered for a moment before he replied, "Relax; I'm Vincent Morano. Your car had an accident las

Isabella's eyes blazed with anger as she slammed her hand on the conference table. "Who is this new board member?" she thundered, her voice echoing off the walls.The room fell silent, with all eyes on Isabella. Mr. Carson, taken aback by her outburst, stuttered, "I-I was just about to explain, Isabella. Mr. Anderson has sold his shares to a new investor."Isabella's face twisted in a scowl. "What? Why wasn't I informed about this?" she shouted, her voice rising.Mr. Wallace, trying to intervene, said, "Isabella, please, let us explain—"But Isabella cut him off, her anger boiling over. "No, I want to know who this new investor is, and I want to know now!" she bellowed, her eyes flashing with fury.The door to the conference room burst open, and Vincent Morano strode in, his eyes locking onto Isabella's. She felt a jolt of surprise, followed by a wave of anger."You," she spat, her voice venomous. "You're the one who's been secretly buying up shares of our company."Vincent's eyes nev

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.

"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.

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
