Isabella’s POV

The ticking clock was the only distraction amid the peaceful night. The mansion’s lights were dimmed, and everyone at home was asleep. The growing assumption in my heart kept me awake as I tried to solve the puzzle in my head. I should solve it, but I feel like I can’t because the actual puzzle is what’s between us.

From the very time I met Matteo, I knew that he was not an easy person. He has this power within him that cannot be deformed or destroyed. He has his own gravity that makes him independent in any way. He is indestructible.

I lifted my face when I heard a car arriving. I was sitting at the edge of the long couch, but I quickly stood on my feet instinctively when I heard the car’s engine.

I bit my bottom lip and stared at the door, waiting for that person’s entrance.

I didn’t owe him anything, but his name was dragged because of me. I needed to thank him.

“You’re home…” I said the moment his shoes took weight inside the mansion.

He looked at me with those icy,

  • Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon   Chapter 150 The Final Chapter: All of Me, All for You

    Isabella’s POVI never imagined I’d stand here, in this sunlit courtyard, surrounded by olive trees and white roses, wearing a dress that felt as delicate as the promise we’d made, as pure as his love for me, as intense as his desire to be with me.But here I am.Walking, holding a bouquet of flowers, in the aisle that connects me to him.And he is there, waiting.I never so much dreamed about a perfect relationship because I know it’s impossible.The perfect man only exists in books, fictional, unreal, created by imagination.When I met him, I didn’t know he’d dreamed of holding my hand as we slept. I didn’t imagine he’d kiss me softly, whispering how much he loves me.It didn’t cross my mind that someday, the man who just spent one hot night with me, would dream of spending our forever together.Matteo sees himself as a cruel and imperfect person. But for me, perfection is an understatement. Not that I worship him too much. But because I know the extent of his capabilities, and the

  • Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon   Chapter 149 Blood Bonds

    Isabella’s POVIt was so far. A deserted pier in the middle of nowhere. The wind was howling off the waves, the scent and taste was salty.We arrived just after sunset, and the place felt creepy.The shadows stretched across the concrete and at the end of my sight was her, standing, wrapped in fury and hatred.Stella’s eyes were fixed on me. Beside her was Noah, sitting on the cold cemented floor, wrists tied. He wasn’t crying, but I can see fear in his eyes. It was mixed with something more. Disappointment, pain, sadness, and hatred.“I told you to come alone!” Stella screamed, glaring at Matteo, who didn’t answer and just stared blankly at her. “But well, it’s a good thing that bitch is here. Since you escaped your death, this time, you won’t.”I gritted my teeth, still staring at Noah. Seeing him, I couldn’t help but question what kind of mother Stella is. How could she do this to her own son?I still feel a little weak, but I won’t sit back and wait for Noah to be saved. I need to

  • Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon   Chapter 148 Our Fight

    Matteo’s POVMy breathing stopped, like the world stopped spinning. Julian’s words echoed in my head for a few seconds before I got to recover from shock.“What do you mean gone?” I snapped.Julian didn’t pause. [My wife asked me to follow her discreetly. Isabella wanted to talk to you, so I went straight to your house, but the security said you haven’t come home and Isabella didn’t go there. I checked her condo unit, and I saw the police there.]His jaw clenched as my steps hurried. “What police? What happened?”[The lock of her door was broken. The place was torn apart. She’s gone, Matteo. Someone took her. But the police said she was able to call for the emergency, but didn’t get to finish her report.]I was breathing ruggedly as I entered the elevator. “I’ll find her.”[She has a tracker,] Julian said again, and that gave me enough hope to save her. [My wife gave her one. We’re trying to locate her now.]I got into my car and started the engine. “Make it fast. Give me the address.

  • Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon   Chapter 147 In the Cold, I Call You

    Isabella’s POVI stood frozen in front of the broken door of my condo unit. Confusion and fear crept in my heart as I stared at my slightly open door.Swallowing hard, I took my phone out and dialed the emergency hotline number.Good thing I left Hope with Melinda.I felt the uneasiness as I stepped back, staring at the door.If someone is inside, then that person must be waiting for me to enter.But who would it be? Is this another thief?[Hello, this is the emergency hotline number. What is your emergency?]“Good evening, this is—” My phone dropped involuntarily on the floor, the impact cut through the silence of the hallway when someone suddenly grabbed me from behind and covered my nose with a cloth.I was startled that I inhaled the unpleasant scent on the cloth. A few seconds later and my vision started to blurry, my body suddenly felt heavy, and the moment before my eyelids shut, I thought of the family I want to build with Matteo.***I don’t know how long I was out.But when

  • Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon   Chapter 146 Now or Never

    Isabella’s POVI couldn’t sleep. Everytime I close my eyes, I see him.I can still feel his lips on mine.The taste.The gentle movements.The sweetness.I couldn’t forget it.It was familiar.Like he knows what he did. Like he knows that he should kiss me.I kept on tossing my body on the bed, Matteo’s face was behind my eyes. I could still feel his warmth. His touch.Matteo kissed me.But he doesn’t remember, right?Did he kiss me because for him, it felt like the right thing to do?Was it just a spur of the moment?I don’t know anymore.All that matters is he kissed me.He kissed me.I bit my bottom lip and swallowed hard. I rolled on the bed and could no longer hide the smile on my lips.I almost screamed, but I suppressed it.The next morning, I immediately called the security personnel to talk about the incident last night.“He was the notorious thief three months ago, Miss Clarkson,” the head of the security started as I sat in front of them in the meeting room. “He was caught

  • Dumped By My EX, I Picked Up A Tycoon   Chapter 145 A Kiss of Acceptance

    Isabella’s POVWhat Matteo did last night was still stuck in my mind, playing in a loop. The way he looked at Hope when she called him ‘mister scary man’. The way he stared at me, not saying anything like he has been longing to do that. And the way he left like he was satisfied after seeing us.It gave me so many questions and speculations about what he really wants. His intention. His thoughts.I badly want to know what he was thinking. I badly want to talk to him about what he thinks about me.“Mommy, why is mister scary not around today?” Hope asked while we’re entering my car.I smiled at her as I put her seatbelt on. “Maybe he’s busy.”I shut the door beside her and was about to get in the driver seat when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around, but it happened so fast. I saw a man holding a baseball bat and was about to hit me with it when someone suddenly lunged between me and the attacker.I couldn’t move or say anything because of shock as I stared at Matteo. His broad
