Marcus said, his tone accusatory.Isabella sighed, knowing he had a point. "I just can't help but wonder what could have been, you know?"Marcus shook his head, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Isabella, forget about him. You and I could start something new. Something better."Isabella felt a flicker of interest at his words, but quickly shook it off. "I can't just forget about him. And besides, what about Celine and the baby?" I hate that woman!"Marcus rolled his eyes. "That's not your problem, Isabella. You need to think about yourself for once."Isabella felt a pang of guilt at his words, but pushed it aside. "I can't just abandon Alexander like that. And besides, Alexander will come back to me eventually. I just know it."Marcus looked at her skeptically. "Isabella, you're deluding

At midnight, Bryan woke up in a cold sweat. His stomach was aching and he felt nauseous. He tried to call for his parents, but his voice was too weak. "Mommy," he whispered. "Daddy."But there was no answer. His parents were asleep in their room down the hall.Bryan tried to get out of bed, but he was too weak. He lay back down and closed his eyes. He tried to think of what to do.He remembered that Mrs. Maria, the housekeeper, had given him a glass of milk before he went to bed.

Isabella told the housekeeper her plan. It was risky, but it was the only way that the housekeeper could see to save her daughter.The housekeeper was shocked and disgusted when Isabella told her to put something in Bryan's food or drink. She couldn't believe that Isabella would even suggest such a thing."I would never do anything to hurt an innocent child," the housekeeper said. "I'm a mother myself, and I know how precious children are.""But Celine has done something terrible to me," Isabella said. "She stole my man from me, and she's trying to ruin my life.""I understand that you're angry," the housekeeper said. "But hurting Bryan won't solve anything. It will only make things worse.""I don't care," Isabella said. "I just want Celine to pay for what she's done.""There are other ways to get back at her," the housekeeper said. "You could report her to the police, or you could just look for another man. But hurting Bryan is not the answer."The housekeeper was shocked when Isabel

She is from a small village in the countryside."Isabella nodded. "I see. "What else do you know about her?" she asked."She is very quiet," the spy said. "She keeps to herself mostly. But she does seem to be very good at her job."Isabella nodded again. "I see."Isabella's eyes widened in surprise when her spy told her about the housekeeper's daughter. She had not expected that the housekeeper would have a family, let alone a child who was sick.Isabella thought for a moment, then smiled. She knew exactly how she could use this information to her advantage.She knew that she had to do something about this. "Thank you for the information," she said to the spy.

A week after the incident at the business party, Alexander had to go on a business trip to Dubai for two weeks. He told Celine that he would be back as soon as possible. She was sad to see him go, but she knew that he had to do it for work."I have to go away on a business trip," he said. "I'll be gone for two weeks.""It's okay," Celine said. "I'll be fine.

It has been hours since the party has started and Alexander drank the wine that Isabella paid a guy to put an aphrodisiac in it. "Alexander, Let's rest for a while."Celine said to Alexander. "I am a little tired and I know you are tired too.""Alright."Alexander said with a smile."Would you like to get some fresh air outside?""Mm-hmm."Celine nodded.

I should have been more careful.Alexander: Don't beat yourself up about it. It's done now.Celine: I know.

Isabella sat across from Robert at a fancy restaurant. They had been dating for a few months now, and she was starting to fall for him. But she also knew that she could use him to get back at Alexander."I have an idea," she said. "Why don't we team up and deal with Alexander and his family?"Robert looked at her in surprise. "What do you mean?" he asked."I mean, we could use each other to get what we want," she said. "You want to take down Alexander's business, and I want to get revenge on him. We can help each other achieve our goals."Robert thought about it for a moment. "It's an interesting idea," he said. "But I'm not sure if I'm ready to go that far.""What's the worst that could happen?" Isabella asked. "We could fail, and then we're back where we started. But at least we tried."Robert sighed. "You're right," he said. "What do we have to lose?"Isabella smiled. "I'm glad you see things my way," she said. "Now, let's start planning.""I can't believe he did that to me," Isabe
