“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.
When Isabella come out of the bathroom Leo wasn’t there.She thought he maybe stayed in another room so she didn’t mind and went back to sleep.As long as she can have a good sleep, she doesn’t care what he does inside this apartment.How Mona was behaving it would be hard for her to sleep in her apartment, so it’d be better if they can coexist peacefully.Returning to the orphanage wasn’t an option anymore.Mr Rossi has found out that address and she would rather stay here to keep the orphanage away from any trouble.She would be damned if they face any problem because of them.Though her relationship with Leo wasn’t on the best level, she knew from the start Leo was always her safe heaven.He would never let her suffer.Everything is so messed up between them if she thinks it.Here she wanted to stay away from him and then she wanted to stay with him because only he can protect her from any problem.With all this conflicted thought, Isabella went to sleep.Isabella suddenly started
Leo was feeling very irritated because of this damn headache.He had drunk almost every bottle he has in this house and he expected this hangover.But how it was biting him like a bitch, he wanted to bang his head somewhere.But he had to get up and make their breakfast before Isabella get up so he somehow tried to only to feel someone was wrapping him like a koala.He opened his eyes only to get surprised, noticing it was Isabella who was wrapping him. As he has now moved from her, she only moved closer and snuggle to him, finding a comfortable position.Though his sanity told him to get up as she won’t like it seeing them so close. But then he remembers it was Isabella who have bought him here and if she get up like this, she wouldn’t blame him.So he moved back to his sleeping position and looked at her with adoration.Three years. How much he has waited to get this moment back.Where they could sleep comfortably in each other’s arms.Only if he could make her understand how sorry
Leo came out and sat to eat when he heard Mona screaming from the balcony.Everyone looked at him, and he just shrugged.“What did you talk about?” Angelo asked confused.“Normal talks. She must be having one of those days.” Leo said, and Angelo nodded, agreeing and Isabella and Vivian just look at them in disbelief.Are they really serious? Dumb men.Mona came out after sometimes and she behaved so normally Isabella didn’t understand what is happening so she could concentrate on Liam.It was late evening and Leo left for the office after breakfast.Mona was taking a few day leave, and that’s why she was staying in the apartment with Isabella.After office, Angelo has returned but Leo was nowhere to be seen.If Isabella knew her friend she was sure Mona won’t let her stay and Isabella was well aware of her reason.But Mona didn’t know after so many years, everything changed, but the edge between Isabella and Leo didn’t. And neither this edge can disappear with Mona’s stupid tricks.Is
When Isabella came out Leo was sitting on the sofa and there were some papers in front of him.Those look like legal documents.Was he preparing for a divorce? It was the first thought that came to her mind.But she was feeling anxious when she realized she didn’t want this.But why? She didn’t know.She hated him, shouldn’t she willingly sign these divorce papers and get away from him?Then why it was bothering her?“What do you want to talk about?” Isabella asked but when Leo looked up she blushed.They were in so compromising position a few minutes back she couldn’t forget that.“Sign those papers,” Leo said without looking at her, and Isabella was confused.Would he force her now to divorce as he forced her to marry?“What for?” Isabella asked.“You wanted to adopt, Liam. I have arranged everything. You need to sign those papers only. You will get full custody of him when I submit those papers.” Leo said and Isabella was surprised.It’s only one day she has come here. And he has a
Isabella was sitting in Mona’s room and Mona and she was enjoying snacks Vivian was making for them while watching TV.It has been their routine now since she has returned.Angelo and Leo have bought lots of toys for Liam and nowadays he loved to play with toys instead of playing with Isabella. And she was happy he was living a joyous life.Leo was searching for a school for him she has heard it from Mona and once it gets settled, she won’t have to worry anymore.“Take it.” Vivian passed the pudding, which Isabella took eagerly, and Mona was also happy seeing this.“Aunt, your pudding. Yum.” Mona moaned and kissed her fingers, eating the pudding, and Vivian just chuckled.“Eat, I have made a big bowl of it,” Vivian said while walking inside to give Liam a bowl.That child has a sweet tooth like Isabella and every time Vivian made something he gets so excited.“So?” Mona asked and Isabella shove a spoon filled with pudding in her mouth and looked at her.“So?” Isabella asked back and h
That night Leo didn’t drink and when Isabella went to their bedroom. He has already finished his shower, and they ate their dinner silently, which Vivian has packed for them.They go to bed but Isabella couldn’t sleep all night.When she left, Isabella always ignored his attempts to make their relationship work as an excuse for his wrongdoings.But when she thought about all this and when she heard what happened in the last three years, she couldn’t understand who Leo is.Was he always like this and she couldn’t see him?Isabella was in a great dilemma.The next day when they woke up Leo was leisurely sitting on the couch and reading something in his tablet.Isabella got up and walk inside to freshen up.When she come out Leo wasn’t in the room.She thought he may have gone out, and that’s why she decided to go out but before she could leave Leo entered the room with a tray filled with food.So she didn’t leave, he just went to make breakfast.“You made all of them?” Isabella asked, a
