All Chapters of NO ONE ELSE COMES CLOSE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Isabella stared at the parts of her phone in shock before pushing Angelo away and running back to her room. She brushed her teeth again and sat down on her bed thinking of what to do. She was feeling very hungry but didn't want to step her foot into Angelo's kitchen.She searched for good restaurants using her laptop and ordered for Pizza online. She paid and waited for it to arrive meanwhile, Angelo went back to sit on the couch. He didn't bother to wash off the blood on the surface of his skin from Isabella's bite.The doorbell rang and Isabella knew that her pizza had arrived. She quickly came out of her room and opened the door before Angelo could react. She opened the pizza box to ensure that it was the type she had ordered for and signed before taking it inside.Just as she turned with the pizza, she saw Angelo standing in front of her. She noticed the blood on his arm and naturally felt the need to help him treat it but when she recalled the things he had said to her the last t

Angelo tasted the food without giving away any expression and Isabella sighed in relief when she saw him swallow the food. However, when he took the second spoon into his mouth, he spat out the food and screamed at the top of his voice, "what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to kill my taste buds with this rubbish?"Isabella was shocked at first because she knew for a fact that the taste of the food was excellent but then she remembered that Angelo was deliberately trying to make her miserable so she kept calm.She looked at him and apologized, "I am so sorry Angelo. I sincerely thought you would like the food. Please let me cook something else for you. Just tell me what you would like to eat.""Don't bother, I would rather starve." Angelo said as he angrily stood up from the chair and began walking back into his room. When he got to his door, he stopped, turned towards Isabella and said, "you are such a disgrace to womanhood.I deluded myself into believing that you would at le

Angelo looked at Isabella and asked, "what are you waiting for? Keep moving."Turning to Christy who was now feeling embarassed, he said, "let's go christy."They all went in together and Isabella watched as Angelo greeted a few people familiarly. She noticed that Christy stuck to his side and clearly wondered the nature of their relationship.She had been hopeful that Christy had Angelo's heart but seeing the way Angelo acted earlier made her have doubts.She decided to be friendly towards Christy so she could find out more about her relationship with Angelo.However, when she smiled at Christy, she stared at her angrily and blinked her eyes. Isabella wondered why Christy reacted that way. Could Angelo have told her to do so? Or did she consider her a threat to her relationship?Either way, she decided to mind her business like Angelo had warned. She knew nothing about their relationship so it was best for her to act this way.She was feeling quite weak and her temperature was still

Angelo couldn't take it anymore. He got up and walked out of the hospital room while Isabella just stared at him.She didn't know why she saw guilt in Angelo's eyes. Could it be that he was regretting his actions towards her?She wished that was the case as she felt exhausted. If Angelo could look past his hatred and anger, perhaps her days in his house would be much better until when he was willing to let her go.Angelo stood outside the hospital room. He felt anger in his heart but he didn't know who to direct it at.Why was Isabella like this? This was the time to accuse him and blame him for almost killing her but she chose to apologize instead.She was making life difficult for him and he didn't like that. Or was it all a ploy? Was Isabella deliberately acting this way so she could get him to give up his revenge?If that was her plan, it wasn't going to work. He had lived his life solely for this revenge. He wished she had a brother he could have dealt with instead but she was th

Christy's friends got up and they all left while Isabella slowly wiped the cake off her eyes until she was able to see a little. She managed to get to her room and wipe her face clean with tissues of paper.Meanwhile the moment Christy left Angelo's house, she called him and began to cry on the phone."What happened to you?" Angelo asked."It's that Isabella" Christy replied. "The cake she made was so horrible that none of us could even bear to taste it. I'm sure she deliberately made it taste bad so I would get mad.I merely asked her why the cake tasted so bad despite the fact that she had the whole day to make it but she became angry and smashed the cake on my face."Angelo was shocked, he had done worse things to Isabella and she didn't respond, why would she do a thing like that just because Christy asked her a question?"Did Isabella really smash the cake on your face?" Angelo asked."Yes she did" Christy replied. "My eyes are all red from trying to get the cake out. You can ask
