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'

Vincent's lips crashed down on Isabella's, his kiss rough and demanding. "Kiss back, Isabella."Isabella's voice was muffled against Vincent's lips. "I hate you."Vincent's eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't stop kissing her. "I know, but I want you to kiss back like you did last night."Isabella's words were a slap in Vincent's face. "There's a difference between last night and today. Last night, I loved the man who pretended to love me, who saved my life and made me feel loved. But today, that same man is standing in front of me as a betrayer, a liar, and a selfish monster."Vincent's eyes narrowed, his face pale with anger. "Don't make me angry, Isabella."Isabella's voice was steady. "Or what? What will you do, Vincent?"Vincent's smile was a cold, cruel thing. "You'll regret it."Isabella's eyes flashed with defiance. "I'm regretting already."Vincent's lips crashed down on Isabella's again, his kiss pass

Vincent and Isabella sat at the dining table, the tension between them palpable. Vincent gestured to the spread of food before them. "Have breakfast."Isabella's eyes locked onto his, her expression cold and calculating. "I'll eat on one condition." Vincent's eyebrows raised, his interest piqued. "What's that?"Isabella's voice was steady, her words measured. "If you allow me to go outside this house."Vincent's smile was a slow, deliberate thing. "What if you try to run away?"Isabella's gaze never wavered. "This area is vast, full of forests. Do you think I could escape from here?" Vincent's eyes narrowed, his mind working overtime. He knew Isabella was clever and resourceful. But he also knew that his estate was a fortress, impossible to breach. "Okay," he said finally, his voice dripping with condescension. "You can go outside. I'm going out for some work. I hope you'll be a good girl." Isabella's face

"How dare you lie to me?" Vincent's voice was a low, menacing growl. "Because of you, I kept blaming an innocent person." Vincent turned and walked away, leaving Brandon and Mia staring after him in shock. Brandon's face twisted with rage as he turned to Mia. "Mia, get out of this house." Mia's eyes widened in shock. "I'm eight months pregnant, Brandon." Brandon's expression didn't change. "I don't care. Just leave." Mia's face crumpled, tears streaming down her face as she stumbled backward, away from Brandon. "Get out!!" Brandon's voice was a roar, echoing through the hallway. "How could Mia betray me like this? She's supposed to be on my side, not Isabella's. And Vincent...my own brother...how could he doubt me? "It's all Isabella's fault. She's the one who's been manipulating everyone, playing the victim. But I know the truth. I know she's a lyi

Isabella ran through the dense forest, her feet pounding against the damp earth. She had to escape, had to get away from Vincent and his twisted games. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she had to keep moving. The trees seemed to close in around her, their branches tangling together above her head like skeletal fingers. Isabella's heart was racing, her breath coming in short gasps. She stumbled over roots and fallen branches, her ankles twisting painfully. But she didn't stop. She couldn't stop. Not until she was safe. Suddenly, the ground gave way beneath her feet. Isabella cried out as she felt herself falling, her stomach lurching with a sickening sense of weightlessness. She managed to grab onto a rocky outcropping, her fingers closing around it like a vice. Isabella hung there, suspended in mid-air, her legs dangling over the edge of the cliff. The wind buffeted her, threa

Vincent's voice echoed through the forest, his calls growing more desperate with each passing moment. "Isabella! Where are you?" The darkness seemed to swallow his words, leaving only an oppressive silence in their wake. Vincent's face was etched with worry, his eyes scanning the forest floor with a growing sense of urgency. He didn't care that the others were searching too. He had to find her himself. Had to make sure she was safe. Vincent plunged deeper into the forest, his feet pounding against the damp earth. The rain had stopped, but the trees still dripped with water, casting eerie shadows on the ground. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry. "Vincent!" His heart leapt with hope as he spun towards the sound. "Isabella! Where are you?" There was a pause, and then he saw her. She was hanging off the edge of a cliff, her hand slipping, her eyes wide with fear. Vincent

The darkness of the night was palpable, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioning vent above. Vincent and Isabella lay side by side, their eyes fixed on the ceiling as if searching for answers to unspoken questions. The clock on the nightstand glowed with an ethereal light, the numbers flashing 2:00 a.m. in neon blue. Vincent's voice broke the silence, his words barely above a whisper. "I could have killed you in our first meeting, Isabella. Why do you think I didn't?" Isabella turned her head, her eyes meeting Vincent's in the dim light. "I don't know," she replied, her voice equally soft. "Maybe you wanted to toy with me, to play games with my life." Vincent's gaze held hers, his eyes burning with an inner intensity. "No, Isabella. It's not that. You see, I was in the car that hit yours that day. I got out to kill you, to make sure you were dead. But when I saw you...you were still breathing. And

She entered the dining room, and her eyes locked onto Vincent, who was kissing a beautiful woman with long, curly hair. Isabella's anger boiled over, and she felt like she was going to explode. The woman, Megan, looked up, her eyes flashing with annoyance. "Why is she still here?" Vincent turned, his eyes meeting Isabella's. "She's leaving," he said, his voice neutral. Isabella started to walk away, but Vincent caught her hand. "You can go after breakfast," he said, his eyes holding hers. Isabella jerked her hand free. "I'm fine, Mr. Moreno." She turned to leave but then spun back, her eyes blazing. "The more I hate you, the less it is." With that, she turned and walked away, leaving Vincent and Megan staring after her. Isabella walked out of the mansion, her feet carrying her away from the pain and betrayal that lay within. But as soon as she stepped out into the

Her thoughts remained taken by Mafia King Vincent Moreno, who infiltrated her mind through his intense brown eyes.After discovering that her lifetime love, sharing the same romantic bond with her, had betrayed her, she still carried on loving Vincent.

"Luca, can I ask you something?" He said, his voice low and serious.Luca nodded, his eyes locked on Vincent's. "Of course," he said. "What is it?"Vincent leaned forward, his elbows on the bar. "Why are you so loyal and caring towards Isabella?" he asked, his eyes searching Luca's face for answers.Luca's expression softened, and he looked away for a moment, collecting his thoughts. When he turned back to Vincent, his eyes were filled with a deep sadness."I was Isabella's mother's bodyguard," Luca said, his voice low and gravelly. "I was sworn to protect her and her family. When her mother passed away, she asked me to promise to take care of Isabella, to keep her safe from harm."Luca's eyes clouded over, and he paused, collecting himself before continuing."Isabella's mother knew that her stepmother would not treat Isabella kindly. She knew that she would be in danger, and she begged me to protect her. I promised her that I would, and I've kept that promise all these years."Vincen

Isabella walked into the house with Luca; she was taken aback by the vibrant decorations that adorned the walls and ceilings. The room was transformed into a colorful and festive atmosphere, with balloons, streamers, and a giant "Welcome Home Luca" banner hanging above the food table.Isabella's eyes widened in surprise as she took in the scene before her. She had expected a simple welcome party, but what she saw was a full-blown celebration. Vincent's men, burly and intimidating, were busy blowing up balloons and arranging them into intricate arches. The maids were scurrying around, putting the finishing touches on the food and drinks.But what caught Isabella's attention was Zyne, who was standing in the center of the room, directing the proceedings with the confidence of a seasoned leader. Despite being only 7 years old, he was barking orders and instructions to the adults around him, who were surprisingly obedient to his commands."More balloons over here!" Zyne shouted, pointing

Vincent walked into Luca's hospital room, his eyes scanning the space until they landed on Isabella. Her smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a wary expression.Vincent's eyes lingered on Isabella for a moment before he turned to Luca. "How are you doing, Luca?" he asked, his voice low and concerned.Luca smiled weakly. "I'm doing okay, Vincent. Just a little tired."Vincent nodded, his eyes flicking to Isabella again. "Isabella, I wanted to talk to you," he said, his voice hesitant. "I know I've hurt you, and I'm sorry. I won't bother you again. I'm leaving."Isabella's expression didn't change, but Vincent could see the pain and wariness in her eyes. He took a step forward, his arms opening. "Can I just hug my son?" he asked, his voice cracking with emotion.Isabella nodded curtly, and Vincent walked over to Zyne. He hugged his son tightly, his eyes closing as he breathed in the little boy's scent.After a moment, Vincent released Zyne and turned to Isabella. "Goodbye," he said,
The Betrayal Chapter 46
Isabella's words hung in the air like a challenge, a stark reminder of the pain and betrayal she had endured. "I know," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I know you think you love me, but I'll never be able to trust anyone again."Vincent's eyes searched hers, desperate for a glimmer of hope, but Isabella's expression was resolute. "My whole life, I've been betrayed by those I loved," she continued, her voice cracking with emotion. "And now, I've found happiness with my son. My small world is full of joy, and there's no place for outsiders."He knew he didn't deserve her forgiveness, not after what he'd done. But he had hoped, foolishly perhaps, that she might find it in her heart to give him another chance.But Isabella was resolute. She turned and walked away, leaving Vincent standing alone, his heart heavy with sorrow. He knew how painful it was to love someone and have them leave. He had experienced it before, and now he was reliving it all over again.As he watched Isa

Vincent's face twisted in anger. "You lied to me and turned me against Isabella," he spat. "You conspired for her death, while all the fault was yours. If you do anything to my love and my son, I'll give you a painful death."Brandon laughed, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Shoot him," he ordered his men, his voice dripping with malice.Brandon's face turned red with rage as he screamed at his men, "Shoot this fucking' bastard!" But to his shock, none of them moved. They just stood there, their eyes fixed on Vincent with a mixture of fear and admiration.Vincent smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You think I'm a mafia king just like that, and it's so easy to kill me?" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "All your men are mine. Well, it wasn't that difficult. Their family members are in my custody at this time, so these people will do what I tell them."Brandon's eyes widened in shock and rage.

Brandon's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at Isabella. "Everything happened because of you," he spat, his voice venomous. "She died because of you."Isabella's face contorted in a mixture of grief and fear. "Look what happened," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I'm sorry, but my son is innocent. Leave him please, he's only 7 years old."Brandon's face twisted in a snarl. "My baby wasn't even born when he died!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the walls.Isabella took a step back, her eyes wide with fear. "He was a victim of your hatred and revenge," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Brandon's eyes flashed with anger, and he lunged at Isabella, grabbing her hair and pulling her towards him.

The Betrayal Chapter 43
Isabella's heart pounded in her chest as she stepped into the grand mansion, her eyes scanning the opulent decor with a mixture of fear and determination. 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.

"I've been waiting for you."Isabella's eyes locked onto Brandon's, her heart racing with anger and fear.
