Isabella Leonardo;

The notifications on my phone had been relentless since morning. Pings, vibrations, flashes of headlines-everywhere I turned, the name Kate Harrington was trending. Only, she wasn't "Kate Harrington" yet. Not officially.

I sat on the edge of my bed, fingers trembling around the phone as I scrolled through headline after headline. Young CEO Dean Harrington sweeps mature beauty widow Kate off her feet.Another one read, Age is just a number: Love blooms between Dean Harrington and his bride-to-be.

Bride-to-be.

My stomach turned. She was old enough to be his mother. Correction-she was my mother, and she was choosing to make herself a joke in front of the entire world.

I hit call before I could think twice. The phone rang once. Twice. She picked up on the third.

"Isabella," her voice came silky, almost cheerful, as though she wasn't the center of a nationwide scandal.

"Don't you dare say my name like that," I snapped, my throat tight with rage. "Do you even

    Leonardo:I woke before the sun was fully up, the mansion still cloaked in silence. Chris was fast asleep beside me, his face finally relaxed without that constant edge of control and calculation. For a moment, I lingered, watching him, my chest tightening. He looked so peaceful like this-so different from the man everyone feared.I whispered softly, "You'd never forgive me if you knew," and carefully slipped out of bed.I dressed quickly, slipping into jeans and a sweater, quiet as a shadow. Before leaving, I gave him one last glance. His hand twitched slightly in his sleep, and for a fleeting second, I almost changed my mind. Almost.But then I closed the door behind me.Downstairs, the guards were already stationed. One of them raised a brow as I approached."Miss Isabella," he greeted cautiously, "you're heading out?""Yes." I forced a small smile. "I'm just meeting a friend at Starbucks. Nothing dangerous."The other guard frowned. "We'll need clearance from the Boss."I exhaled.

    Christopher Gravemoor:Having her at my mercy is nothing short of an euphoria, nothing could fill this feeling I pride myself in, day in and day out I've imagined her under me and right now she pleads to pleasure me, she begs to have me inside her. In a dark tone, hinting full dominance and control,"Kneel" She went down on her knees compelled by the sound of my voice. I could see right through her eyes how much she wanted to prove herself. This is Isabella, the same person who refused out chemistry because of our family fake bond. Now, we get to accept and love each other the way we truly desire.She looked into my eyes and I pushed my zipper to her face, indirectly telling her what to do. Her innocence in the blow job gives me all the thrills. I am going to be the first man she's ever given a blow job."Gake the zipper down." I hoarsely instructed. She raised her beautiful manicured fingers towards my zipper, she slowly pulled it, making sure to linger on a bit, I let out

    Isabella Leonardo:The sunlight filtered through the curtains when my phone buzzed against the nightstand. I reached for it lazily, expecting some news headline or a spam message, but the name flashing across the screen jolted me fully awake.Naomi.I hesitated before answering, feeling guilty for not always reaching out. Still, I pressed the green button and brought the phone to my ear."Hello?" I said."Isabella!" Naomi's cheerful tone rang through, almost too bright for morning. "Finally, you pick up my call. I was beginning to think you were avoiding me."I sat up in bed, rubbing my temple. "I've just been... busy. A lot has been going on.""Well, lucky for you, I'm here to take some of that stress off." Naomi chuckled lightly. "How about coffee this morning? Starbucks. My treat."I froze, my fingers tightening around the phone. Coffee at Starbucks. That sounded innocent enough, but nothing was ever innocent in my world anymore. "I don't think that's a good idea," I said slowly.H

    Isabella Leonardo:The shrill ping of my phone dragged me awake. I reached out blindly, fingers curling around the device. The bright screen stung my eyes, but the headline was impossible to miss.Popular Billionaire Christopher Gravemoor spotted with baby mama Ruby Thompson at Gravemoor Empire...I sat up straight in bed, my chest tightening. Ruby again. The woman's name was plastered everywhere lately, and each time it clawed its way deeper into this house, into Chris's life, into Amara's innocence. SighI scrolled further, but the article was more of the same-pity shots of Ruby looking distraught outside the gates, claims about "wanting to see her child." It was designed to make Chris look cold, unyielding....not that the latter cares.I shut the phone off with a groan and pushed myself out of bed. I needed to check on Amara.The corridors were quiet when I went down the stairs. I half-expected to see Chris's men stationed stiffly around, but even they seemed subdued. I followed t

    Christopher :The next morning, I buried myself in work. The office was quiet, the steady scratching of my pen against paper the only sound as I signed document after document. I needed the distraction-something to keep my mind from replaying Isabella's voice over and over again."It was a matter of life and death and I couldn't risk Amara's life "A knock came at the door. Collins stepped inside, his face grave."Boss," he said carefully, "we've got a situation outside the gates."I set the pen down and leaned back in my chair. "What kind of situation?"He hesitated. "It's Ruby. She's outside causing... a scene."My eyes narrowed. "Ruby?"Damned bitch!Collins nodded once. "Yes, sir. She's making noise, claiming she only wants to see her child. Paparazzi have already gathered. It's turning into a spectacle. You need to see this yourself boss" He said again. I exhaled slowly, the fury already boiling under my skin. "Let's go."We walked out of the building together, Even before we

    Christopher Gravemoor;I leaned back in my chair, staring at the closed door after Isabella left. Something about the way she'd asked for permission gnawed at me. Three hours, she'd said. Work. She'd smiled, careful, almost too careful.Christopher Gravemoor didn't buy it.My instincts had been sharpened by blood and betrayal, and they were screaming at me now. In this business, when things felt off, they usually were. And Isabella... she had no idea how many vultures circled around us.I reached for the phone on my desk and dialed a number only a handful of men in the world knew. The line clicked, then a voice answered."Boss.""Shadow team," I said, my tone low and clipped. "Release them."There was a pause. "Target??""Isabella," I replied. The word tasted bitter on my tongue. "She's going out. I want two on her tail at all times. No contact, no interference. She doesn't know. Understand?""Yes, sir."I ended the call, my fingers drumming against the polished wood of my desk. It w
