    Isabella POVAdrian returned to work, and the four of us walked back to my gallery to say our goodbyes.Victoria had to get back to her shop, while Varos and Mirabel were expected at my parents' house for dinner. I wished we could spend a little more time together, but I was grateful they had come in the first place. “Thanks for coming down to see me,” I said, looking between them. It meant more than I could properly express, knowing that even during the darkest period of my life, I was never truly alone.My family had always been there for me, especially my brother. No matter how difficult things became or how undeserving I sometimes felt of his kindness, Varos never turned his back on me. I looked up to him in ways he would probably never understand. He had always been someone I could depend on, and I wasn't sure I told him that often enough. “Of course.” He pulled me into a one-armed hug, giving me a reassuring squeeze before releasing me. “It's nice to see that you're doing better

  • Desire And Revenge    Adrian and Varos

    Isabella POVAdrian and Varos both turned to me at the same time. Varos glared at me, and Adrian seemed genuinely bewildered. “You’re just going to invite him to eat with us when you know nothing about him?”I asked in shock. “You don’t know anything about this guy. He could be a rapist or something.”Adrian lowered his hand, and instead of being offended, he smiled. “Uh…I’m not a rapist. Just so everyone knows…”Varos continued to glare at me. “Knock it off, Isabella. I’d like to meet your friend.”“You’ve never cared about any of my other friends before,” I snapped.“You never made an effort to....”“Isabella, be quiet.” Varos threatened me with his hostile gaze. “You’re overreacting.”The only reason why my brother was being so polite was because he wanted me to forget about Dante but if Adrian were just some random guy, he would have growled at him like a watchdog. Adrian picked up on the tension. “I’m going to grab a coffee. I’ll be right back.”He headed to the counter so we cou

    Isabella POVA week passed, and I didn’t see Adrian. He seemed to give me the space I needed. I was in the gallery when my family surprised me. Varos and his wife stopped by, along with Victoria. “Wow, it looks so nice in here,”Mirabel said. “You’ve got paintings on every wall, and they’re all new.”“I make a few paintings every week to keep the walls stocked,” I said.“I’ve actually been selling paintings pretty consistently and I started an email list, so old clients come back and buy new paintings. I just ship them out.”“That’s awesome,” Varos said.“It sounds like your gallery is a success.”“Yeah, it is.” Thanks to one special person who made all of this possible. My father could have done the same for me, but I never would have accepted it. He’d done so much for me already. “How was the honeymoon?”“Beautiful,” Mirabel said with excitement. “I loved it there. We were right by the harbor with all the ships…and the food…I could go on and on about the food.”“Pregnancy will do th

  • Desire And Revenge    Just Friends

    Isabella POVI could do this forever too, and that’s what scared me. I liked everything about Adrian, from his personality to his confidence. I liked the way he carried himself, the way he created art. I liked the connection we had, as if we’d known each other before we even met but those feelings alarmed me and made me feel so much guilt that I despised myself. It’s been months since Dante left and he’d been with other women by now, but that didn’t change the way I felt.I stepped back, putting an end to the tenderness before I could enjoy it a second longer. “I should get going…”I turned my back on him before he even had the opportunity to say anything. His footsteps sounded as he followed me to the stairs. “Isabella.”I stepped on the first stair and gripped the rail. He spoke again, a little more authoritatively. “Isabella.”He didn’t reach out and grab me, but his voice was enough and I turned around, eye level with him. “How long has it been?”He moved his hands into his pocket

  • Desire And Revenge    First Body Contact

    Isabella POVGetting coffee with Adrian was much better than I expected. The conversation unfolded naturally, and by the end, it seemed like I was getting coffee with an old friend.He was interesting, polite, and easy on the eyes. He never made it seem like a date. When we’d first walked into the coffee shop, he didn’t even try to pay for my drink and it was nice.I enjoyed his company because we had so much in common, and it was nice to talk to someone who had no tie to my past but with Adrian, I didn’t have to see him pity me like the rest of my family did. It felt like a fresh start, turning over a new leaf. He was the first friend I’d made in the city, and I hoped he would stay my friend.We left the coffee shop and walked back to my apartment, his arm almost touching my shoulder on the sidewalk. The streetlamps were on, and there were very few people passing through town. I was only a few blocks away and even though I told him I could make it back on my own, he insisted on escor

  • Desire And Revenge    Family Support

    Isabella POVMy parents would never act that way. Whatever I wanted to do, they would always be supportive. When Varos wanted to venture into his business, they were supportive of that too.There was nothing we could do or say to make them disapprove of us then I remembered the one thing they could never accept…the one person they could never approve. It was the only instance when my parents didn’t give me what I wanted because it was too difficult for them to look past. “You proved him wrong a million times over…”He nodded, still smiling. “Yeah, I did and it felt good.” His collared shirt fit across his chest nicely, stretching over the muscles of his upper body. He was lean, but it was clear he was strong. I’d seen his sculpted arms before, and it seemed like everything else under his linen shirt was the same. “Can I ask you about the painting you bought from me?”I had it hanging in my living room, a perfect picture of the city. I could talk about artwork forever, so the question
