ISABELLA —-Enzo's words hung in the air, his voice dripping with determination. The thought of him buying the whole company just so I could take a break seemed excessive and unnecessary, but it also showcased his power and wealth.I looked at him, his eyes burning with intensity, and couldn't help but feel a mixture of frustration and admiration. He was stubborn, relentless in his pursuit to keep me safe, even if it meant going to extreme lengths."Enzo, you can't just buy a whole company because of me," I protested, my voice laced with disbelief. "It's too much."He moved even closer to me, his breath warm against my ear. "Isabella, I will do whatever it takes to ensure your safety. Money is not an issue for me. I just want you and Sofia to be protected."I sighed, feeling torn between my desire to continue working and Enzo's unwavering determination to protect me. I knew deep down that he was right, that my life was in danger and that I needed to take a step back. But it was diffic
ENZO —I really wanted to honor Mr Leonardo Dante's wish to wed his daughter but she already had a bad attitude I can't even cope with. If I can't cope with her character how would I possibly be able to leave the rest of my life with her and one thing I don't believe in is divorce. I would have to see her father and end this deal. He would need to find another way to pay me back.I stood in front of the mirror slowly adjusting my suit when I noticed someone trying to sneak up on me and when I checked through the mirror it was my little angel Sofia. I knew she was trying to scare me so I needed to play along and act scared."Booo!!!" She yelled making me chuckle and then pretending to shiver, I turned around and squirted down to her size with a wide smile on her face."I scared you." Sofia teased me by making me smile."You won this time, I never believed I could get scared so easily." I said to her as she giggled planting a kiss on my cheek, I really needed it."You look handsome dadd
ISABELLA —- I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my packed suitcases. The decision I was about to make weighed heavily on my heart, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I couldn't stay in this mansion any longer, pretending to be a part of this family when I was nothing more than an outsider. Sofia played happily in her small bathtub, splashing water all around her. She was oblivious to the turmoil within me, unaware of the lies I was about to tell. I didn't want to burden her with the truth, at least not yet. My first priority was to protect her. As I heard the sound of Enzo's car pulling into the driveway, panic surged through me. I needed to act quickly, before he could confront me about my sudden decision to leave. "Sofia, sweetheart, we're going on a little adventure," I said, forcing a smile as I pulled her out of the tub and wrapped her in a towel. "Where are we going, Mommy?" she asked, her big, innocent eyes looking up at me. "We're going to visit Aunt Maggie,"
ISABELLA —-"Mr Enzo." They all whispered to themselves, making me smile."You all should learn to stop gossiping and most especially be careful with the kind of words you utter.""Enzo, what are you doing here?" I asked, my voice filled with surprise and concern.He looked at me with a mixture of confusion and hurt. "Isabella, I heard what they were saying about Sofia. I couldn't just stand by and ignore it."I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. This was not the time or place for such a discussion. "Enzo, we can't have this conversation here. It's not appropriate, and it will only make things worse."He reached out to touch my arm, but I quickly pulled away. "Isabella, I have a right to be involved in Sofia's life. I care about her, and I want to protect her."I could see the sincerity in his eyes, but I couldn't let my emotions cloud my judgment. "Enzo, I appreciate your concern, but Sofia is not your daughter. You need to accept that and move on."His face fell, and I
AURORA —--"So dad can you at least tell me more about Enzo, I searched for him online but there is nothing much about him and something I don't understand is how he owns most of Galiano corporation but Miguel is the CEO and also the fact that his net worth is over a billionaire or more and no one knows what exactly produce all those money." I asked my dad who chuckled."Why do you think I am giving you to him so easily and making sure he doesn't change his mind?" Daddy asked, making me more confused."Daddy please explain to me." I pleaded with my dad who moves closer to me."He owns Galiano corporation." Dad said, making me almost jerk up from my seat."But Mr Miguel owns it, it's under his name." I asked."Miguel is his best friend so Miguel works for him as the CEO." Wow, this is just so unbelievable. Everything dad was saying was still coming to me as a shock."You are trying to say I am getting engaged to a billionaire." I asked, feeling so happy for my future and at the same ti
ENZO—-I dropped Sofia on my desk and instructed my secretary to watch over her as I hurried after Aurora. I got closer to her at the exit when I saw Miguel walking up to her and I decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Miguel was trying to make Aurora hate me because I own the company. I was definitely not the kind of person who just hides away while my best friend talks shit about me so I decided to step out."Miguel." I called just when Aurora asked who Sofia's mother was."Enzo." He replied nervously walking up to me."I thought you would be upstairs with Sofia?" Miguel asked nervously as I chuckled."I had to chase after Aurora, I won't just let her leave that way thinking I am a hard person." I said staring at Aurora from time to time as she still seemed angry."Have you been there all this while?" Miguel asked, I nodded with a smirk on my face as I walked past him to Aurora."Should I cancel the engagement, you seem to have no inte
ISABELLA —As the day of the ceremony arrived, I put on my best dress and stepped into the venue, my heart pounding with nervousness. The room was filled with people, all eagerly waiting to meet the new owner.I scanned the room, my eyes landing on Enzo. He was talking to some of the employees, his demeanor confident and authoritative. I couldn't deny that he looked handsome and powerful, but I reminded myself to stay focused on my work.As the ceremony began, Enzo took the stage, and a hush fell over the room. He thanked everyone for their support and expressed his excitement about leading the company into the future."And lastly," Enzo said, his eyes scanning the crowd. "I want to express my gratitude to Miguel. He has been a loyal friend and an invaluable asset to this company. I couldn't have done this without him."One of the reporters raised their hands up to Enzo which was something I was expecting."Yes." Enzo asked, making the reporter step forward."Mr Enzo Ferrari, you stil
ISABELLA —-That can't be true, Enzo can't possibly be in love with me for goodness sake he is getting engaged to Aurora very soon."When did he tell you all this?" I asked Sofia who chuckled."If you don't love each other how did I come into this world?" She questioned making me smile."Who told you that you can only come to this world when Enzo and I love each other?" I asked her."Nanny Brenda." Sofia replied naively."Did you ask her?" I questioned,at this stage I was curious to know the kind of this my daughter had in her brain that made her always question my decision."Sofia, did you ask her?" I said to Sofia who giggled Shyly."Well, Mommy, Nanny Brenda said that when two people love each other very much, they make a special kind of magic that brings a baby into the world," Sofia said, looking up at me with big, innocent eyes.I sighed, trying to find the right words to explain things to her. "Sofia, love is a complicated thing. It's not just about a man and a woman being in l
