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

  • The Betrayal   Chapter 7

    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

    Isabella drummed her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel as she sat stuck in traffic. Her eyes scanned the crowded sidewalk, her gaze drifting over the sea of faces. And then, suddenly, she saw her."Mia?" Isabella's voice was barely above a whisper, her eyes fixed on the familiar figure.Mia was walking down the sidewalk, her hand cradling her four-month pregnant belly. She looked pale and tired, her eyes sunken and her skin sallow.Isabella's heart went out to her, despite the anger and resentment she still felt towards her sister. She quickly pulled over to the side of the road and jumped out of the car, weaving through the crowds to reach Mia."Mia!!" Isabella called out, her voice rising above the din of the traffic.Mia turned, her eyes locking onto Isabella's. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.And then Mia's face crumpled, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Sis!!" she sobbed, her body shaking with sobs.Isabella's heart went o

    Luca raised an eyebrow, his expression curious. "So, you've given him a chance?" he asked, his voice low and smooth.Isabella rolled her eyes, her expression exasperated. "It's not what you're thinking," she said, her voice firm. "I don't want that man to think he's got a chance with me forever. I'm not interested."Luca's eyes narrowed, his expression skeptical. "And why's that?" he asked, his voice gentle.Isabella's expression turned bitter. "Look at Mia, whom he fell in love with and married. And now, he's making her life hell. I don't want to end up like that."Luca's expression softened; his eyes filled with understanding. "Not everyone is the same, Isabella," he said, his voice low and soothing.Isabella's expression turned stubborn. "Stop lecturing, Uncle," she said, her voice firm. "You were never in a relationship, so how would you understand?"Luca's eyes turned sad, his expression melancholy. "I was," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.Isabella's eyes widened in su

    "Let's walk," Vincent said, his eyes glinting with amusement.Isabella nodded, her expression neutral. "Okay."As they strolled down the street, the cool night air enveloped them, the sounds of the city fading into the background. They walked in comfortable silence, their footsteps synchronized."Your family?" Vincent asked, breaking the silence.Isabella's expression turned somber. "None."Vincent's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze burning with intensity. "I grew up in Spain with my maternal grandparents."Isabella's eyes narrowed, her expression curious. "Your mom was from Spain."Vincent nodded, his smile growing wider. "Yes, but my dad was American."Isabella's eyes widened in surprise, her expression intrigued. "Interesting."Vincent chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "See, you start liking me."Isabella's expression turned cold, her eyes glinting with amusement. "No chance."As they continued walking, Isabella's leg suddenly hurt, and she winced in pain. She looked down

    Two days passed, and Vincent slowly opened his eyes, wincing in pain as the bright hospital lights assaulted his senses. His gaze fell upon Isabella, who was sleeping in a chair beside his bed, her head lolled to one side.Vincent's eyes narrowed, his mind foggy. "Was she here all night?" he whispered, his voice hoarse from disuse.As he shifted in bed, a searing pain shot through his back, and he couldn't help but groan. Isabella's eyes snapped open, and she sat up with a start, her gaze locking onto Vincent's."Are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern. "Thank God you've woken up."Vincent's eyes searched hers, his expression skeptical. "Were you worried about me?"Isabella's expression changed, her eyes flashing with a hint of defiance. "Not at all," she said, her voice cool. "I don't want to be the reason for someone's pain."Vincent's smile was wry, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, really? That's probably why you kept saying that night, 'Please, nothing can hap

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.

    Vincent's voice echoed through the forest, his calls growing more desperate with each passing moment. "Isabella! Where are you?"The darkness seemed to swallow his words, leaving only an oppressive silence in their wake. Vincent's face was etched with worry, his eyes scanning the forest floor with a growing sense of urgency.He didn't care that the others were searching too. He had to find her himself. Had to make sure she was safe.Vincent plunged deeper into the forest, his feet pounding against the damp earth. The rain had stopped, but the trees still dripped with water, casting eerie shadows on the ground.Suddenly, he heard a faint cry. "Vincent!"His heart leapt with hope as he spun towards the sound. "Isabella! Where are you?"There was a pause, and then he saw her. She was hanging off the edge of a cliff, her hand slipping, her eyes wide with fear.Vincent's heart stopped.

  • The Betrayal   Chapter 20

    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'

    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 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,

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

Isabella's eyes widened as the mansion came into view, its sprawling facade lit up like a beacon in the night.As they stepped out of the car, Isabella's gaze swept over the grounds, taking in the high walls, the guards patrolling the perimeter, and the state-of-the-art security cameras.
