Chapter: Chapter 5 - New Day, New Attitude.Isabella's P.O.V."Hola, familia"Urgh!!, kill me, kill me now, God, please.Normally, I'd be jumping up and down and clapping my hands like a damn excited seal because the love of my life has just walked into the room but now, I don't feel anything at all for him, if anything, I'm more excited to see my food than I am to see Santiago Reyes right now.Come to mama.I thought to myself as I bit down on a juicy piece of bacon."Hey there, son, what are you doing here so early? school doesn't start for another hour"My father asks whilst looking down at his watch as Santiago smiles at me."Oh, you know me, uncle, I couldn't wait to come and see my mami, it feels like forever since I've seen her"Santiago's husky voice says almost making me baulk as I rolled my eyes.Yeah, I bet you couldn't wait to come and see your stalker, asshole.I groaned as I looked up at Santiago who was standing behind my step-mother's chair and I hate to freaking say it but the motherfucker looks so goddamn good

Chapter: Chapter 4 - Awkward Breakfast.Isabella's P.O.V.I think a lot of people highly underestimate the strength and power behind fight or flight and our responses to it and they don't realise just how strong it is until they're deep in the thick of it, not to mention, they're also stumped by how confusing and conflicting these feelings can be as well.After I had left the party last night and I'd arrived back home at the DiMarco estate, I immediately headed up to my bedroom and tried to get some sleep but unfortunately, sleep wouldn't come to me, so I ended up laying awake in bed until the wee hours of the morning just thinking about everything that had happened last night.I thought about the conversation that I'd overheard between my brothers and Santiago, as well as how I felt about it and what I wanted to do about the situation but I didn't have an answer for that just yet.Even this morning when I was getting ready for school, I still didn't know what I was going to do or what I should do about this because I felt

Chapter: Chapter 3 - Shattered Illusions. 'Thunder rumbling, castles crumbling, I am trying to hold on, God knows that I tried, seeing the bright side but I'm not blind anymore' ~ Katy PerryIsabella's P.O.V."Hell no, homes, the girl is like my little sister, for Christ's sake"Fuck.That's one sentence that no woman EVER wants to hear from a man who she considers the love of her life and I can honestly say with my full fucking chest that the pain I'm currently feeling is one that I've never felt before in my life.I know this may sound dramatic but it's the truth.If you've ever felt the heartbreak and raw pain from your first love like most people in this world have then you'll know exactly how I feel right now and how it feels like my heart is breaking into millions of irreparable pieces.If only I knew beforehand that the pain I was currently feeling was gon

Chapter: Chapter 2 - Home Truths. 'Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood' ~ Helen KellerIsabella's P.O.V.You know the saying some things are better left unsaid, well, in my opinion, some things are also better left unheard as well, or at least, that's how I felt at this particular moment in time because in the end, I was actually really happy and grateful to have heard what I heard from a man who I once thought was the love of my life.I'm currently at a college party with my brothers and all of our friends which is the last place that I want to be because I hate this kind of scene but my friends convinced me that we'd have fun, so I came but now I'm tired and just wanna go home.I just need to find one of my brothers first to let them know that I'm leaving."Hey Mercy, have you seen my brothers anywhere?""I

Chapter: Chapter 1 - Money Can't Buy You Happiness. 'When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on' ~ Theodore RooseveltIsabella's P.O.V.A common misconception about us rich people is that we're all happy and that our lives are easy and I can totally understand why people would think this way.They see our expensive homes, our expensive cars and also the extravagant lifestyles that we all live and they immediately think that we're all blissfully happy and that our lives are also picture perfect and problem free as well because in their eyes, they see our wealth and they think that we've got the world at our fingertips but this isn't true.The reason why I say this is because behind our gated communities, our fancy lives and 'perfect' exterior, things are far from rosy and they're nowhere near being happy and harmonious for us or at least, that's what i
