“Why did you call me?” he asked with cold tone.

You may call him, but don’t bet on the fact that he will answer."Isabella froze her hand on the doorknob, looking past Olivia, her back still stiff.

    The conference room was buzzing with restless energy – papers rustled, low whispers filled the air – and there, seated at the head of the table, Isabella was lost in deep thought about the final updates to her project. Her team, clearly full of excitement and the nervousness that sneaks up before something big, was watching and listening in a kind of anticipatory disarray.Then, suddenly, the door opened, and a sudden silence fell over everyone. In the doorway, Vincent Moreno – her husband – appeared in a form that normally carries the weight of an impending storm.

A wide smile appeared on Moreno's face as he walked towards the door. He seemed to embrace control of the house as he walked past the staircase made of marble and the chandelier hanging above.His voice was daunting and echoed loudly in the house, “Megan, where are you?”, expecting his Ex-wife to show and attend to his call.The maid had instructed him to the poolside, and he was aware she often secluded herself in places where she believed no one else would go. The noise created by the heels of his boots on the marble tile was more pronounced as he neared the rounded terrace. Furthermore, the scent of chlorine was all-consuming, and the gentle waves accompanying the water's rhythm splashing into the

She wondered what facts this woman had concerning her husband.A peculiar sensation tingled across her skin behind her back.

Vincent spent his time looking back and forth between the road and his wife to determine her emotional state.He looked at her and saw that her face revealed a detached state while her eyes remained unfocused.

The stare Vincent directed at her face went unnoticed by Isabella as she remained absorbed in her thoughts.The prolonged period of silence ended when Vincent decided to speak first.
