Vincent's eyes burned with intensity, his voice low and husky. "I'm telling the truth, Isabella. I loved you from the moment I saw you for the first time."

Isabella's expression turned cold, her eyes flashing with a hint of fear. "I must leave now," she said, her voice firm.

But Vincent was too quick. He reached out, his hand closing around her wrist.

"Don't hide your feelings," he whispered, his eyes locked onto hers. "I know you feel the same way."

Isabella's eyes narrowed, her expression skeptical. She looked at him, her gaze searching. "It's not like that," she said, her voice soft. "I'm not someone with whom one should come into a relationship."

Vincent's smile was gentle, his eyes burning with desire. "But I want you," he whispered, his voice husky.

Without warning, he pulled her towards him, his lips crashing down on hers. The kiss was fierce, passionate, and all-consuming. Isabella's lips parted, her mouth opening to Vi

  • The Betrayal   Chapter 13

    Vincent's car wound its way up the driveway, the trees growing thicker and the darkness deepening as they delved deeper into the forest. Isabella's eyes widened as the mansion came into view, its sprawling facade lit up like a beacon in the night.As they stepped out of the car, Isabella's gaze swept over the grounds, taking in the high walls, the guards patrolling the perimeter, and the state-of-the-art security cameras. Her eyes met Vincent's, a hint of surprise and curiosity sparkling in their depths."Is this your mansion?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Vincent nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Yes."Isabella's eyes roamed over the mansion's facade, her expression thoughtful. "Seeing all this, it seems like you're some kind of mafia king."Her laughter was husky, and Vincent's smile grew wider, his eyes crinkling at the corners."No one can find you here," he said, his voice low and reassuring.

    Vincent's eyes gleamed with mischief as he closed the door behind Isabella, his hands reaching out to pin her against the door. "It's time to complete the challenge we left unfinished that day."Isabella's eyes flashed with defiance, her voice husky. "It's not easy for me to melt."Vincent's smile was a slow, sultry curve of his lips. "Let's see."Without warning, his lips crashed down on hers, his hand pinning her wrists above her head. The kiss was passionate, all-consuming, and Isabella felt her resistance melting away.Vincent's hand tightened around her waist, pulling her closer as he deepened the kiss. His lips left hers, trailing down her neck, leaving a mark that made her shiver with pleasure.Isabella's eyes closed, her head tilting back as Vincent's lips moved down to her cleavage, his kisses sending shivers down her spine.Vincent's voice was a low, husky whisper. "You're already melting."He spun her around,

    Vincent's movements were slow and gentle, his body merging with hers in a tender, loving union.

    Isabella's eyes fluttered open, and she was met with an empty space beside her. She stretched, arching her back, and a soft smile spread across her face as she recalled the passionate night she'd shared with Vincent. Her gaze fell upon Vincent's phone lying on the bedside table.She picked it up, her fingers tracing the familiar contours of the device. A sudden pang of nostalgia hit her, and she missed her uncle, Luca. It had been far too long since they'd last spoken. Without hesitation, she dialed his number, and the phone rang several times before Luca's deep voice answered."Hello?" Luca's tone was cautious, a hint of wariness underlying his words."It's me," Isabella replied, trying to sound cheerful despite the nagging sense of unease."Isabella?" Luca's voice sharpened, panic creeping into his tone. "Are you okay? I've been trying to reach you for days."Isabella's heart swelled with emotion as she realized how worried her uncl

    Vincent's eyes gleamed with amusement as he took in Isabella's distraught expression. "It's clear from your face that you've discovered quite a bit," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Well, let me remind you that in my house, no prisoner is allowed to use their phone. And you, my dear, are my most beautiful prisoner."Isabella's face contorted in rage, her voice rising to a shout. "Bastard! I trusted you!"Vincent's laughter was low and menacing, sending a chill down Isabella's spine. "Trust," he sneered. "It's so easy to win the trust of a naive girl like you."Isabella's eyes blazed with tears as she spat out the words. "I loved you, Vincent. I loved you with all my heart."Vincent's expression turned cold, his eyes glinting with disdain. "An arrogant girl like you doesn't deserve anyone's love. But you do deserve my bed. Remember how you were writhing beneath me last night? Don't worry, I'll give you the same pleasure every day,

She fumbled for her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed Luca's number."Luca, please...you have to help me," Mia begged, her voice cracking with emotion. "Brandon's trying to kill my sister. He's working with his mafia brother. I don't know what to do."Luca's voice was calm and reassuring. "Tell me everything, Mia.

He knew he had to act fast to save Isabella, and he was determined todojustthat."What have I gotten myself into? First, Vincent's involvement with Isabella, and now Brandon's vendetta against her? This is getting uglier by the minute.""I have to act fast. I need to get to Isabella before Vincent or Brandon can harm her. But how? I don't even know where she is.""Think, Luca, think.

  • The Betrayal   Chapter 19

    Isabella sat in the corner of her room, her eyes fixed on the wall as she felt the weight of her captivity bearing down on her. She couldn't escape, couldn't contact anyone, couldn't do anything but wait for someone to come and rescue her.As the hours ticked by, Isabella's dinner sat untouched on the bedside table. She had no appetite, no desire to eat or drink anything. She just wanted to be free.But freedom was a luxury she didn't have. Not yet, anyway.It was late, the middle of the night, when Vincent stumbled into her room. He was drunk, his eyes glassy and unfocused. He staggered over to the bedside table, his gaze falling on the untouched food."Why didn't you eat?" He slurred, his voice thick with alcohol.Isabella didn't respond. She just lay there, her eyes fixed on Vincent with a mixture of hatred and contempt.Vincent's eyes narrowed, his face twisting into a scowl. "What do you think, huh? That if you don't eat,

    Vincent's eyes narrowed, his mind consumed by a nagging sense of unease. "What's wrong with me?" he muttered to himself, his voice low and perplexed. "Why the fuck do I hurt whenever I see her eyes, those fucking tears?"He couldn't understand why Isabella's tears affected him so deeply. He was a man who had seen and done it all, a man who had never been swayed by emotions. But there was something about Isabella that got under his skin, something that made him feel...Vincent's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his phone. He glanced at the screen, his expression darkening as he saw the caller ID. He hesitated for a moment before picking up the call."Why did you call me?" Vincent's voice was curt, his tone dismissive.There was a pause on the other end of the line before a sultry voice spoke up. "Vincent, for how many months have you not met me, and you're angry when I call?"Vincent's eyes rolled in exasperation. "Megan, I'

She had come for one reason: to rescue her son, Zyne.As she walked through the foyer, she noticed the guards stationed in front of the door, their eyes fixed on her with a curious expression. But to her surprise, none of them moved to stop her. It was as if they had been instructed to let her pass.Isabella's instincts screamed at her to be cautious, but she pressed on, her feet carrying her deeper into the mansion.

When I came back, my guards were injured; they had bullet injuries, and my son was missing."Her words trailed off as she burst into tears, her body shaking with sobs.

I want you both back."Isabella's tears slowed as she looked up at Vincent, her eyes searching for any sign of deception. But all she saw was a fierce determination, a burning anger that seemed to radiate from every pore."I promise you, whoever kidnapped our son will pay dearly," Vincent continued, his voice dripping with venom.

    Vincent sat in his office, his eyes fixed on some point in front of him, his mind lost in thought. He was a man consumed by his own emotions, torn apart by the conflicting desires that warred within him.What he felt for Isabella was love, pure and simple. He wanted her back, wanted a normal life with his family, where Isabella was his wife and Zyne was their son. He wanted to wake up every morning with Isabella by his side, to fall asleep every night with her in his arms.But how could he make that happen? How could he undo the damage he had done, repair the hurt he had caused?As he sat there, lost in thought, a noise outside his cabin broke the silence. Vincent's head jerked up, his eyes narrowing as he listened.And then he heard it, a familiar voice, one that made his heart skip a beat."Where is your boss?" the voice demanded.

He had planned it that way.As he walked, he couldn't shake the image of Isabella's face from his mind. Her eyes had blazed with hatred, her expression twisted in anger. Vincent knew that he had hurt her deeply, had broken her trust, and shattered her heart.But as he saw the hate in her eyes, something inside of him shifted. He realized that if he were to snatch their son away from her, she would hate him even more. And Vincent knew that he couldn't bear that.He had already hurt Isabella so much, had caused her so much pain. He didn't want to add to that pain, didn't want to make her hate him even more. For the first time in his life, Vincent felt a pang of guilt, a sense of remorse for his actions.He knew that if he wanted to, he could easily get his son back. He had the power, the influence, and the resource

    The courtroom fell silent as Wendy, Isabella's lawyer, stood up to present her case. She walked confidently to the front of the room, a small smile playing on her lips."Your Honor, esteemed members of the court, today we have new evidence that will prove beyond a doubt that Vincent is not the loving father he claims to be," Wendy began, her voice clear and strong.She walked over to a large screen at the front of the room and clicked a button. Suddenly, a photograph appeared on the screen, showing Vincent standing next to a beautiful woman, a diamond ring gleaming on her finger."This is a photograph of Vincent and his fiancée, Megan Parker, daughter of James Parker," Wendy explained. "As you can see, they were deeply in love and engaged to be married."The courtroom erupted into a flurry of whispers and gasps, and Vincent's face turned bright red with anger.But Wendy wasn't finished yet.

She had just tucked him in and kissed him goodnight, and now she was looking forward to a quiet evening to herself.As she approached her bedroom door, the doorbell rang, shrill and insistent. Isabella's heart skipped a beat as she checked the time. Who could be visiting at this late hour?She felt a shiver run down her spine as she walked towards the front door.
