Isabella’s eyes were wide open in shock as she heard Dolores’ revelation. She felt the weight of decades-old hostility coming down on her as a physical pressure.

"What about my son?" Isabella asked in a mere whisper. “I never wanted to be a part of this”.

There was a touch of sadness on Dolores’ smile. “No sane woman would want to be a part of this world,” said she. “Vincent don’t want to exist in the shadows and keep you safe till the end, but circumstances have changed. When Dimitri told his men to kill Zyne, Vincent could do nothing but to come forward and be with you again.”

Isabella’s eyes locked with Dolores’s eyes, trying to find answers. "So, he married me...?" she trailed off.

Dolores’s eyes were flooded with warm feelings. “He did it to save Zyne and you. He never wanted to hurt you Isabella. He...loved you more than anything."

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the words. She wanted to see the truth in Dolores’ eyes and so she looked into her eyes.

    Taking a break from her turmoil, Isabella ventured out onto the balcony. Below her in the garden, her thoughts turned to her son and Luca. She understood that, because of Zyne, she must find the strength to overcome her weakness.She stood and looked at a man walking quietly in the garden by himself. The person was Vincent, and what stood out were his bare feet as they walked on the grass. Strong memories of the past flooded her as she realized she used to seek solace when she did that.Isabella felt her heart miss a beat as she thought about whether Vincent still remembered this little thing about her. Joy stirred in her heart, and in an instant, she was walking out of her room and making her way down to the garden.While walking toward him, she saw that Vincent was still standing there, deep in thought. Taking in the beauty, she stopped for a short while before taking off her sandals. When she stepped on the soft grass, it brought back happy memories.After taking off her sandals, I

    Isabella seemed unsure as she brought up her question, "Can I ask you something?"Vincent's low voice replied, "Yes."She began to cry as she explained, "I want to make sure he is buried like he should be..." Can you bring his...body?" Her words got shaky from feeling so emotional, and a sob came over her like a wave.Vincent nodded his expression somber. Reaching for his phone, he called someone and said calmly, “Transport Luca’s body to my estate. I hope the procedure will be carried out with respect."Once the call ended, he looked at Isabella and said, "Everything is taken care of."The look in Isabella’s eyes revealed how grateful she was as she looked at Vincent. She nodded.With a soft closing of the door, Vincent left the room. Emilio, was in the hallway, clearly looking worried."What's going on, Vincent? Where's your son?"Vincent's expression was tight-lipped. "I don't know yet, Grandfather. Still, my team is working hard on it.”Emilio's eyes narrowed. "We're running out o

    Dolores’s utterance chilled the spine of Isabella. “This is not easy to understand, Isabella,” she said in low and serious words. "This is the Mafia world. After you are touched with it, there is no way-out. You are submerged into it until your last breathe, whether you like it or not, you become a part of it”.Isabella experienced a chill down her spine when reality of the situation struck her. She never ever imagined the Mafia to be something close to home, something that would affect her. However, now she was staring at it in the face, and it was choking her.Her eyes bored into her soul so that Isabella could feel that the fear and uncertainty had the features of Isabella's face. ”You can’t run away from it Isabella,” she said, her voice firm but soft. “When you’re in, you’re in for life”.The Mafia is more than a just one place, Isabella. It has been in existence for a long time. There are individuals who are greedy for power and money and they do not mind who they damage in the

    Isabella’s tears filled up her eyes. No, this cannot be, she whispered; her voice quivering in stricken accents.Vincent's face was cold. Mateo said, “Zayn wasn’t with Luca,”Isabella's anger burst out. This is all your fault”, she roared while struggling with the restrains. "You've ruined everything."Vincent's expression turned dark. "Isabella, listen—"“No, I’m not going to listen,” she broke in, bitter. "You're a monster. You've taken everything from me."Vincent's face twisted in anger. “So you believe I am the one to blame that Luca died?” He growled."Yes, I do," Isabella spat. "You're capable of anything."Vincent's anger boiled over. "That's enough, Isabella," he shouted. “You have no idea what you’re saying”.The words of Isabella kept pouring out, as a result of her pain and rage. “You’ll hurt our son, the way you have hurt me. I cannot trust such a betrayal like you. You are selfish and selfish only,” she said trying to quiver her voice.Vincent’s face suddenly flared up w

    Vincent placed Isabella on the bed as she struggled a lot to get out of his grip. “Stop moving, Isabella," he said with the voice firm but with concern, warning her. “You're bleeding, and what you are doing is making it worse”.But Isabella didn't listen. She wriggled and twisted even more with her eyes shooting anger and desperation. Feeling that she had no choice but to do that, Vincent took up his tie and tied her hands to the bedpost in a great hurry. “I say stop moving, or I will tie your legs too,” he said in his low even voice.Isabella’s eyes were roaring with rage and she started to cry as she glared at Vincent. She pulled against the restraints, which held tight, and she had to reconcile herself to her lot. Not a moment did the eyes of Vincent leave hers as he indicates to the nurse who was beside her bed.The nurse stepped up silently as can be, and came heavily laden with a tray of Bandages and medicine. Vincent continued to stare at Isabella’s face while giving an order.

    Isabella tiptoed throughout the mansion, and her eyes were out for anything that gave a breath of life and a way out. She crouched behind pieces of furniture and scampered into the darkness as the floors creaked under her feet.As she was going down the stairs, her eyes moved to the front door. When Isabella glanced out from around the corner, her eyes filled with tears as she focused on the front door.She crept on silent feet, her bare feet not making much sound against the cold marble floor. Every step seemed like a gamble, but she went on with a will to flee.Isabella’s heart sank as she crept into this room to find that she had landed in a massive kitchen. The staff worked with a lot of precision, and their faces were void of expression as they worked like robots. She crouched behind a counter and surveyed the room for an exit door. That’s when she saw the back door, partly concealed behind a line of pots and pans.Isabella started moving with renewed determination towards the do

    It was Don Emilio Mendoza’s birthday, and because of the grandiose nature of the event, the underworld had been gathered in the opulent halls of the Mendoza mansion.

    In the basement of the mansion, Megan’s limp body lay on the cold floor, in the basement covered in shadows, as Bruises and Battered bruised her body. Her wrists and ankles were chained by the shackles. Vincent entered into the cell, and his eyes were cold and hard. He reached for her hair and pulled the head upwards so that she could see his face.“I warned you to keep a distance from Isabella and me,” he said in a voice that was low and threatening. "But you didn't listen. Now, look at the consequences."Megan laughed, and there was a defiant gleam in her eye. “Kill me if that is what you want, then,” she spat. “I have managed to achieve what I aimed at doing."The grip of Vincent on Megan’s hair tightened, and his knuckles whitened as he tried to restrain his anger. She winced in pain, her eyes glaring up at him through the curtain given by the messy hair. In spite of her bruised and swollen face,“You know me better than anyone, Megan," he spat through clenched teeth. “And now you
