“They’ve asked for you” whispers mother, her tears now falling down her face as she moves to look at me, having kept silent during the whole exchange.

“What?” I whisper. No this couldn’t be happening. I was only 25 and here I was, a bargaining chip between my father and the D’Amico family. A business transaction to help my father and his company. His investors a bunch of shady people. People bent on hurting him.

“I’m afraid so, my tesoro (Treasure)” is all my father says. “Se miso (I hate you)” I mumble as tears begin to rise. “I HATE YOU!” then with nothing else I run. Running for the door I move to leave the room as tears begin to fall.

How could he do that? How could my own father sell me off like some piece of property. I had dreams. I wanted to go off to college, maybe study abroad in either Greece or Italy. Study art or fashion with a minor in design. Now… Now I can’t.

At the pain of being betrayed do I quickly move towards my room. Not wanting to be anywhere close to my family if possible. Upon entering, do I slam my door shut before running over towards my bed and collapsing, tears falling as I sob.

“Se miso (I hate you)” I cry as I continue to lay upon my bed. The sound of dinging soon sounding, which in turn alerts me that someone had sent me text messages just now.

Sniffling, I move to grab my phone from the nightstand. “Who is it now?” moving to look, I can’t help but notice that there from my two best friends. Smiling, I move to swipe up to unlock my phone curious to read the messages, all nine of them and counting.

Angel: Yo girl, what’s up?

Caleb: You free tonight?

Angel: Ya, are you? If so let’s PARTY!

Caleb: Party till we blackout, lol

Angel: HELLOOOO… Are you there?

Caleb: Mmm, maybe not. Maybe you scared her with the party bit.

Laughing, I can’t help but find humor within each of them. Angel and Caleb having been my best friends for as long as I could remember so naturally I would agree to just about anything with them.

Isabella: No, I’m here, sure let’s go out, where to?

Angel: OMG… There’s a new place that just opened up, it’s called Ambrosia

Caleb: It’s like the hottest club in all of town.

Isabella: Ambrosia? Sounds like a fun time, let’s go. I need a distraction.

Angel: YAY, You’re the best

Caleb: Diddo, let’s meet up and plan out what to wear

Isabella: Sure, I’ll meet you at Angel’s

And with that I lock my phone before shoving off the bed. Better there than here. Then without a word do I swiftly grab my phone and my cute little black purse. The one with the Tommy Hilfiger logo on it before darting from the room.

My body now standing along the front door, debating if I should tell my parents. Nah. Deciding against it, I move to leave the house because after all I was only property, no longer their daughter. With that in mind I move to leave all the while heading straight for my little red convertible, a birthday present from my father when I turned 21. A car I instantly loved.

Mine. Then without a moment of hesitation I quickly jumped into her before starting her up, my baby purring to life as it did. Let’s get this show on the road. And with that I pulled out of the driveway and headed towards Angels.

My little red car now speeding away from my parents’ house as I do.

    Of course being the men that they were does Tony move to ask her one final question. A question in regard to owning a pet. A thought that never really crossed her mind but if she could honestly own any pet in the world then she would want a unicorn. A small, tiny smirk now fighting to make itself known among the men only to be interrupted by a small belly grumble.Embarrassed by her stomach does Isabella move to blush, the guys deciding that it was now time to eat as each of them move to escort her over to the table. The table decorated with porcelain dishes and goblets filled with a sweet tasting liquid. A tea. But not just any tea, a raspberry flavored tea. The only kind of tea that she would drink for Isabella was extremely picky. Another table slowly coming into view the closer she got only to see that it now held every kind of finger food imaginable. Deserts as well. Foods that always made Isabella salivate because they were her favorite.Her heart suddenly swelling, as Isabella

    It’s late, or as late as it can be by the standards of not having to follow a curfew like Isabella had been forced into doing since her return to the giant castle. And frankly Isabella was starting to enjoy it if she was being honest.Soft music now playing in the background of her small bluetooth speaker, another gift that was given to her when she asked to play music within her room. The song ‘That’s the way it is By Celine Dion’ playing softly within the background.The lyrics “Love comes to those who believe it, and that’s the way it is” only brings a soft smile to her lips as she carefully sits upon her bed, sitting Indian style with a brush in hand as she moves to brush out her long blonde hair, glad she hadn’t decided to dye it red when staying in Silverton.As she was sure her mother probably would have murdered her if she had, her long blonde hair being one of the many things that she absolutely loved about herself.Smiling softly, Isabella slowly lets her mind wander back to

    “Beautiful” murmurs Isabella, shocked that both Lucus and Tony had given her such beautiful gifts.Fighting back tears that threaten to fall does Isabella move onto box three, the third box being even smaller than the first two as it carefully sat wrapped within a deep red bow. Curious, Isabella moves to see what’s inside, her eyes landing on another handwritten card but this time from Grant.Her teeth biting softly into her bottom lip as she move to lift up the lid only to gasp, bright blue boxes sat neatly tucked away with the infamous Tiffany and Co seal stamped on top of each box, her eyes darting to each one as she carefully moves to see what was inside them, her eyes taking in a beautiful diamond necklace along with a beautiful diamond bracelet as well as a pair of diamond earrings and a diamond cocktail ring.Her body suddenly feeling overwhelmed by the gifts, that Isabella moves to look slowly at the last and final box, the last box even smaller than the previous three as it s

    -Next Morning-Waking up the next morning had been a complete and utter change for Isabella. Having been allowed to have breakfast with not only her mother Angelica, but with Sophia as well, an odd yet satisfying feeling when she did. Lucus and the others each telling her that they had last minute details to address before their “Date” that afternoon, a feeling that left her both excited yet anxious for.Enzo and Marco both appearing to be happy that each of their Bosses had finally shown an interest in a woman of their caliber, the other guards only thoroughly confused by their latest discovery but knew better than to say anything unless you wanted a bullet through your skull.So here they were, with an hour and a half left to spare before their lunch date, do each of them decide on heading back to their individual rooms to begin getting ready, using that time to freshen up. Lucus giving strict orders to Enzo, Marco and Dominic to not disturb them for anything unless it was absolutel

    Shocked by her words, do each of them move to give her their full blown attention, unable to process her response when they flat out admitted to her that they were wrong and here she was basically rejecting them for trying to make amends.Amused by their shocked faces, Isabella moves to elaborate further before they got the wrong impression of her. “But….. Your mother has given me much to take into consideration and while I truly want to forgive and forget I still need that time to process it all.”Nodding, Lucus quickly speaks up yet again, “Ya, my mother has that unique way with words. It’s something my father has always loved about her.”Clearing his throat, Tony decides to take his chance by finally speaking up as well. “Look… Isabella. I know what we did to you was wrong, wrong on so many levels and for that we’re sorry. I know we can never undo all the things we did to you, but please give us a chance to make it as close to right as possible. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
