Isabella was expecting she would soon meet Alessandro Rossi. But she didn’t expect they won’t waste any time throwing her out of this country. When she entered the room, Alessandro has already taken his seat. And how his aura was surrounding the place Isabella couldn’t help herself from getting scared. Leonardo had a similar domineering side, but it never make her cower away like this. Actually, she has many times defied him and argued with him. But there was a security in her heart, Leo won’t hurt her. Yes, she couldn’t have the same confidence he would save her when it came to her mother, and she was right. Didn’t he prove that he never wanted to keep them secure as much as he kept her? “So Alicia was right. You are alive and sitting here cooped inside this orphanage.” Alessandro’s words make her frown, but she excepted nothing else from him. “What are you waiting for? I know actually.” Alessandro sneered. “What do you mean?” Isabella didn’t understand his meaning. She unde
“I should have expected this from you. Here I was trying day and night to find her and you didn’t find it important to tell me about her whereabouts?” Leo couldn’t hold his rage.“Instead, what you are doing? Sending her out of this country?” Leo asked.He picked up the envelope open it and there was a passport with different identities, some documents that proved her identity, and also a plane ticket to Africa.“You are thoughtful… sending her to Africa,” Leo said sneering and Isabella wasn’t surprised hearing his choice of country.Alessandro won’t surely send him to some neighboring country.“How dare you?” Leo snapped, and his outburst make Isabella flinch, though Alessandro looked unfazed.How could someone stay so calm in a moment like this Isabella wasn’t aware.“Do I need to report to you what I do in my life? As much as I know, I don’t owe you any explanation.” Alessandro said calmly.“You owe me. When it’s my life, you are deciding you owe me a damn thing.” Leo yelled.“We a
When Isabella came out of the room, Mona was anxiously waiting outside.Noticing Isabella’s distressed face, she went to her rescue.But the first word coming out of her mouth made her come to reality.“He is here, Mona. He will again cage me on that hell.” Isabella was looking behind as if she has seen a ghost.“Isabella calm down.” Mona tried to coax her as she wanted to explain everything to her.But Isabella wasn’t ready to listen.How could they forget Isabella was still living in the time when she left Leo three years back?She didn’t know what was the actual truth, and she lived the last three years believing in a misunderstanding.Maybe that was the reason she didn’t try to contact anyone from the past.“Isabella, listen to me. You are worrying unnecessarily.” Mona tried to persuade, but she wasn’t ready to listen.“Don’t you understand? Leo is here.” Isabella snapped.“I know he is here, you listen to me.” Mona tried again but Isabella wasn’t in the sense of listening to her
When Isabella get of the car, she was surprised noticing a big building in front of her.Wasn’t he going to the Rossi mansion?Mona get off along with Angelo and walked toward them.“Take her upstairs. I am joining you in a minute.” Leo said and Mona took her arm, hooking her arm inside Isabella’s walk inside.Liam was following them, and Angelo picked him up and walked behind them.“Is this where you live?” Liam asked, surprised.“Yeah.” Liam was looking around with a glimmer in his eyes.“Do you own this building?” Liam asked again.“No, but Leonardo does,” Angelo said and Isabella looked at them.So, he lives here now.What about the Rossi mansion? Why did he leave that house?They get on the elevator, and in no time they were inside Mona’s apartment. Or maybe Angelo’s apartment she was confused.“You should freshen up. Let me give you something from my clothes.” Mona said and walked into the bedroom.She came out after some time with jeans and a shirt and hand it to her along with
“No, it can’t be true. I know it was him.” Isabella was reluctant to admit it.“He must have made some lies to make you believe in him and after my accident, he has taken care of you all. It was easy to make you fall for his lies.” Isabella can never believe Leo had nothing to do with those accidents.“Izzy, you always misunderstand him.” Mona sighed.“After your accident, Leo was getting crazy. He couldn’t admit you were gone. He was crazily searching for you. I was also moved when I saw his attempts.” Mona looked sad.“He admitted to us how he forced you to marry him. He was constantly asking for forgiveness until we gave him. If he was that bad, do you think he would have cared what we think about him? He had nothing to do with us. We are nothing to him, why would he care for us?” Mona asked.“And we wouldn’t have believed him if Alessandro Rossi didn’t admit it. Do you think Alessandro Rossi would take anyone’s blame in his hand? From then Leo wasn’t on talking terms with his fami
It was dinner time when Leo returned to Mona’s apartment.Vivian was serving everyone more than they could eat, and she wasn’t listening to anyone’s protest.“What is everyone’s problem nowadays? You people look like air can fly you away and here you are denying food.” Vivian said while serving another portion to Mona’s plate.“Eat, silently.” Vivian scolded her when Mona make a dissatisfied face.But she didn’t dare to deny it as Vivian was already holding the spoon and there was no way she won’t get away without getting beaten by Vivian if she complain.“Do you need something?” Vivian asked when she noticed Liam looking at her with eyes filled with anticipation.“Yes, that pasta is very delicious and that meatball there and I would love to have some pudding and that ice cream.” Liam was constantly showing her everything he wanted to have and a sad smile formed on Isabella’s face.He would be on cloud nine, seeing so much food on the table.“Ok, eat slowly, you can have them all.” Vi
“I must say, this boy is really cute. Are you planning to adopt him?” Mona asked when Liam was out of hearing range.They were sitting in the living room when Liam was playing with Vivian inside and Leo and Angelo were somewhere out of their Isabella didn’t know.“I am planning to. But the process is very troublesome. I don’t have any job or place to stay, so I don’t know how it will work.” Isabella was worried about these things.She brought Liam here thinking he would feel distress not finding her, but she can’t keep him here longer. The orphanage will have to face a problem if one child goes missing without proper adoption.“What are you saying stupid, Leo owns this building and god knows how many properties he has in his name. You can easily ask as much as the child you want and no one will question.” Mona chuckled but noticing Isabella’s serious expression she understood the matter isn’t simple.“You are still reluctant to ask Leo?” Mona asked.Isabella didn’t reply, but with her
Isabella was standing in the doorway of Angelo’s apartment.Did she just get kicked out of it? She couldn’t believe it.“Let’s go.” Leo’s voice made her come out of her shock.“Who said I want to go with you?” Isabella wanted to say, but she held her words back.After her friend’s betrayal, Leo was her last resort.And after this exhausting day, she want to just get on a bed and sleep like dead.Leo turned around and walked toward the elevator, holding the door open and Isabella reluctantly followed behind.Leo pressed the button and the elevator ascended to the top floor of the building.It was a penthouse as Isabella had imagined.When she entered the big French window, let her see Italy with a different view and she walked forward only to touch the window with a different type of emotion.This apartment shows Leo’s character.It has been always his choice, that the whole world can stay below his feet.She was looking around and Leo just stand behind her and let her do as she want.
