"Gentlemen, I've got a new case for you," he said, his expression serious.

"Agent Thompson was working on the Santos case as you all know, but she's...well, she's not herself right now.

I'm handing the case over to you two."

    Medicine and twistAuthor's POV Few minutes later, Marco walked back to Isabella, his expression still neutral. "Isabella, I need to ask you something," he said, his voice firm but controlled.Isabella looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "What is it, Marco?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Why did you do it?" Marco asked, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Why did you meet with the FBI agent?"Isabella's eyes dropped, and she shook her head. "I didn't have a choice," she said, her voice cracking. "I had to tell them what I knew. Gabriel's been involved in some shady dealings, and I couldn't just stand by and do nothing."Marco's expression didn't change, but his eyes seemed to bore into Isabella's soul. "You should have thought about the consequences before you acted," he said, his voice cold. "Now, you're going to have to face the repercussions of your actions."Isabella's eyes welled up with tears again, and she nodded slowly. "I know," she whispe

    Dr Isabella Santos Agent Thompson's eyes narrowed as she scanned the documents, her mind racing with the happiness. "What is it?" she asked, her voice firm but intrigued."It's a series of suspicious transactions between one of Santos' subsidiaries and a shell company in the Cayman Islands," the team member replied. "It looks like they might be trying to hide something big."Agent Thompson's eyes widened as she read through the documents. "This is exactly what we've been looking for," she said, her voice filled with excitement. "Get me everything you can on this shell company. I want to know who owns it, where the money is going, and everything in between."As Agent Thompson dug deeper, Gabriel's team was working tirelessly to cover their tracks. But Gabriel knew it wouldn't be easy.

    Conspiracy Gabriel's eyes narrowed as he ended the call with Rodriguez. The FBI investigation was the last thing he needed right now, especially with the war with Ryder's crew escalating. He needed to think strategically and come up with a plan to mitigate the damage.He turned to Isabella, who was watching him with concern. "The FBI is investigating Santos Oil and Gas," he said, his voice low and even. "Rodriguez is handling it, but I need to get on top of this situation."Isabella nodded, her eyes understanding. "What can I do to help?" she asked.Gabriel smiled, appreciating her willingness to support him. "Just being here for me is enough, Bella," he said. "But I need to get moving. I have some calls to make and some fires to put out."He stood up, his movements fluid and purposeful. "I'll be back soon," he said, bending down to kiss her forehead. "Try to rest, okay?"Isabella nodded, watching as Gabriel walked out of the room, his phone already in hand. She knew that he w

"How is she, doc?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.The doctor smiled reassuringly. "She's going to be fine, Mr. Santos. She just needs some rest and observation."Gabriel nodded, relief washing over him. "Thank you, doc. I'll make sure she's taken care of."As the doctor left, Isabella stirred, her eyes fluttering open. "Gabriel?" she whispered."I'm here, mi amor," Gabriel replied, his voice soft. "You're going to be okay."Isabella's gaze drifted to her belly, and Gabriel knew she was worried about the baby. "The baby's fine, Bella," he said, feeling her concern. "You're both going to be just fine."Isabella's eyes welled up with tears, and Gabriel pulled her into a gentle hug. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you," he whispered.Isabella's voice was muffled against his chest. "It's not your fault, Gabriel. It was an accident."Gabriel held her clo

    A Moment of chaos Isabella's POV I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling as the darkness of the night surrounded me. I couldn't sleep, my mind racing with thoughts of the day's events. Gabriel's father's words kept echoing in my mind, his condescending tone and dismissive attitude towards me. And his way he revealed Fernanda's identity in high esteem had also left me scared. Was I truly good enough for Gabriel?I thought about Gabriel, about the way he had stood up for me against his father. About the way he had reassured me of his love and devotion. But doubts still lingered in my mind. Would he continue to love me? Would he choose me over Fernanda?As I lay there, I felt uncertain about my future and that of my unborn child.
