Chapter 21: Fatal

ISABELLAAfter my words landed, I risked a glance at Caspian. His face was a mask of utter devastation, a raw display of shame and regret. He looked like he'd accept any punishment his father would dish out later. I turned my head towards the door, and there stood Danica. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw me. Oh, right. I'd almost forgotten – she was Caspian's secretary. Of course, she'd be here."Oh, Danica," I said, a hint of amusement in my voice as I threw a pointed look at Caspian. "You're late. Your boss must be expecting you."One of the board members cleared his throat. "Once we've completed the signing of these documents, we will inform you, Miss Sterling.""Thank you," I replied coolly, already turning to leave.But I stopped in my tracks when Mr. Thorne's voice boomed, "Danica, you're fired."Caspian opened his mouth to protest, but Mr. Thorne cut him off, his voice sharp with authority. "You too. You're fired as my CEO!""What? Dad! You can't do this to me!" Caspi

Chapter 22: Take Me To Her

DANTE"Everything is set. Guns, transactions – all ready to go." I said, a satisfied smile spreading across my face as I double-checked the computer. Today's deal was a win. I took a deep breath, my gaze drifting to my phone. Isabella. I desperately wanted to call her.But the memory of our last encounter, the raw pain in her eyes, made me feel like a worthless piece of garbage, someone she'd never want. What the hell did I do? And more importantly... What could I possibly do to make her see me differently? To make her fall in love with me? The thought felt like a distant, impossible dream.My new secretary, Grace, approached me with a bright smile. "Sir, you have a meeting scheduled with Sir Rafael at the Belluci Hotel today.""Oh, right," I replied, standing up and slipping on my coat. I walked out, her footsteps echoing softly behind me. Grace was my old butler's daughter. I'd watched her grow up, seen her graduate from a top university, all thanks to her mother's tireless efforts.

Chapter 23: Faint Smile

DANTE"Please, Dante Belluci, I'm begging you," Caspian's father said, kneeling right there in front of me. "Please, don't hurt my son. He didn't understand what he was doing... I swear to you, the second he wakes up, he's going to learn a very hard lesson."Danica just stood there, her face a picture of someone who couldn't believe what she saw. She looked at me with this crazy mix of anger, fear, and total shock. A little gasp escaped her, and she put her hand over her mouth before just... walking away. I could hear her starting to cry in the distance."This is the second time your son has touched what's mine," I said, turning my back on him, my voice flat. "There won't be a third. I won't hesitate to take him out and bring your whole company crashing down if I want to. Don't forget why you're even in the position you're in right now. It's all because of the organization." I heard him let out this shaky breath like he was so relieved, but his face was completely white, like he was a

Chapter 24: Partial Paralysis

ISABELLA"Miss Sterling," the doctor said gently, "the examination reveals partial paralysis, specifically quadriparesis, or tetraparesis. This means you're experiencing weakness in all four of your limbs. It's a consequence of the severe accident you were in. Please know that in many cases, partial paralysis is treatable, and people can regain varying degrees of movement and strength. Recovery can take time, potentially several months, as your body heals and we work through rehabilitation."The doctor's explanation swung in the air. I didn't even know how to react. The trauma of the accident, the very violence of it, hadn't fully registered, yet here was this new reality: partial paralysis. I stared blankly at the wall, a profound sense of weakness washing over me, eclipsing any other emotion. This moment, this diagnosis, felt like the day I lost a part of myself. Was this my destiny now?"I'm really sorry." The female doctor left after explaining everything, but none of it registere
