Zyne looked up at his mother, his eyes curious. "Why are there so many people at our house today, Mommy?" he asked.Isabella's smile faltered for a moment before she regained her composure. "We were just talking, baby. Just business talk. You must be tired from the walk, so go get fresh. I'll send your breakfast to your room."Zyne looked disappointed, but he nodded. "So, are you not going to eat with me today, Mommy?"Isabella's expression softened again. "Mummy is a little busy, baby. But we'll have lunch outside today, okay?"Zyne nodded, and Isabella's maid took him to his room. Vincent watched the exchange, his heart heavy with emotion.As soon as Zyne was out of earshot, Vincent turned to Isabella. "Why didn't you tell him I'm his dad?" he asked,Isabella's expression turned cold, her eyes flashing with anger. "Dad? Really, Vincent? You even thought about how I would introduce my son to you? You're a criminal, and my son doesn't like such things. With what relation have you come

Isabella sat in the living room, her eyes fixed on the door as she waited for the lawyer to arrive. Luca stood beside her, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for any sign of danger.The doorbell rang, and Luca immediately tensed, his hand on the gun holstered at his waist. Isabella's eyes flicked to him, and she nodded slightly. Luca relaxed, but only slightly, as he went to answer the door.A moment later, he returned with a middle-aged woman in a suit. The woman's eyes were keen, her face lined with age and experience."Isabella, this is Ms. Wendy Paul," Luca said, his voice low. "She's the best family lawyer in the city."Isabella stood, her hand extended. "Ms. Paul. Thank you for coming."Wendy Paul's handshake was firm, her eyes locked on Isabella's. "It's my pleasure, Isabella. Please, call me Wendy."Isabella nodded, gesturing to the couch. "Please, sit down."As they sat, Luca took up a position by the door, his eyes fixed on the hallway. Isabella's eyes flicked to him

Isabella stood outside the courthouse, her eyes fixed on Vincent's car as it pulled up to the curb. She could feel her anger simmering just below the surface, waiting to boil over.As Vincent stepped out of the car, Isabella's eyes narrowed. She took a step forward, her fists clenched at her sides. She was ready to fight, ready to take on the man who had once claimed to love her.Vincent smiled as he caught sight of her, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Isabella," he said, his voice low and smooth. "You look lovely today."Isabella's anger flared, her face burning with rage. "Don't speak to me," she spat, her voice venomous. "Don't even think about speaking to me."Vincent chuckled, his eyes never leaving hers.Isabella took another step forward, her eyes blazing with fury. "You have no right to speak to me like that," she hissed. "You have no right to even look at me."Vincent's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Oh, but I do," he said, his voice dripping with confi

Wendy Paul stood confidently before the judge, presenting her evidence against Vincent Moreno. But Vincent's lawyer, Mr. Jenkins, was not easily swayed."Your Honor, this evidence is circumstantial at best," Mr. Jenkins said, waving his hand dismissively. "These witnesses are unreliable, and these financial records can be explained away."Wendy's face fell, but she quickly regained her composure. "But what about the testimony from the former mafia member who came forward to testify against Mr. Moreno?" she asked.Mr. Jenkins smiled. "That testimony has been discredited, Your Honor. The witness has a history of dishonesty and has been proven to be unreliable."The judge nodded thoughtfully. "Very well. It seems that the evidence presented by Ms. Paul is not sufficient to prove Mr. Moreno's connections to organized crime."Vincent's lawyer smiled triumphantly. "Furthermore, Your Honor, we have evidence that proves Ms. Isabella and Mr. Moreno were indeed in a romantic relationship seven

Isabella started the car and pulled out of the parking lot, her mind still reeling from the events of the day. Zyne, who had been quietly observing the scene in the courtroom, suddenly spoke up from the backseat."Mommy, is he my daddy?" he asked, his voice innocent and curious.Isabella's expression turned bitter as she glanced in the rearview mirror, meeting Zyne's big brown eyes. She knew she couldn't lie to him, not when anyone could see the resemblance between Vincent and Zyne."Yes, sweetie, he is your father," she said, her voice tight with anger.Zyne's eyes widened, and he looked out the window, his face scrunched up in thought. "Why didn't he come see me before?" he asked, his voice tinged with sadness.Isabella's expression darkened. "Because he's not a good man, Zyne," she said, her voice dripping with venom. "He doesn't care about us. He only cares about himself."Zyne looked at her again, his eyes searching for answers. "Does he love me?" he asked, his voice barely above

Isabella walked down the hallway, checking on Zyne one last time before heading to her own room. 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. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should answer it, but something compelled her to open it.As soon as she turned the handle and pulled the door open, Vincent pushed his way inside, his eyes blazing with intensity. Isabella tried to scream, but he was too quick, pinning her against the wall as he clamped his hand over her mouth.She struggled and kicked, but Vincent was too strong, holding her in place with ease. Isabella's eyes widened in terror as she felt his warm breath on her face, his lips inches from hers.Vincen

Vincent's eyes locked onto Isabella's, his gaze calm and steady. He raised his index finger to his lips and said, "Shh, stop shouting. You might hurt your throat."Isabella's eyes flashed with anger, but Vincent just smiled and walked towards her. She stepped back, her eyes never leaving his, but Vincent kept coming, his movements slow and deliberate.As he approached her, Isabella's eyes darted to the side, and she quickly stepped back again, reaching for the drawer behind her. Vincent's eyes narrowed, and he sighed, "Isabella, don't...".But it was too late. Isabella had already pulled out the gun, her hands shaking with rage. Vincent rolled his eyes, and in a swift motion, he reached out and snatched the gun from her hand.Isabella struggled against him, but Vincent held her tight, his arms wrapped around her from behind. He buried his face in her shoulder, his breath warm against her skin.Isabella tried to free herself, but Vincent's grip was like steel. "You won't listen to me l

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 clicked another button, and a second photograph appeared on the screen, showing Vincent sta

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. "You deserve the same pain I've been through," he hissed, his breath hot against her ear.Isabella's eyes went wide with terror as Brandon's words sent a chill down her spine.

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. She turned a corner and entered a lavish living room, where Brandon stood waiting for her."Ah, you're finally here, Isabella," Brandon said, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been waiting for you."Isabella's eyes locked onto Brandon's, her heart racing with anger and fear. "Leave my son alone, Brandon," she spat, her voice trembling with emotion.Brandon chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, Isabella, w
The Betrayal Chapter 42
Isabella's voice trembled as she recounted the events that had led to Zyne's disappearance. "We went for lunch; I was in the washroom, and some guards were with him. 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. Vincent's expression turned deathly serious, his eyes narrowing into slits."I didn't kidnap our son, Isabella," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "I can't do that. 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. "I will give him a very painful death. I promise you."With that, Vincent turned and strode out of the room, leaving Isabella staring after him in shock. She felt
The Betrayal Chapter 41
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. "I have to meet him now."Vincent's eyes widened in surprise as the cabin door burst open and Isabella strode in, her eyes blazing with anger."Where is h
The Betrayal Chapter 40
Vincent walked out of the courtroom, his eyes fixed on the floor. He had expected Isabella to win and had known all along that she would be granted sole custody of their son. 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
