After Angelo left, Isabella went to the dining and began to clean up the place, when she was through cleaning, she got ready and left the house. She wanted to see her parents since it had been a while since she last saw them.Although the injury on her arm didn't hurt as it did before, she chose to wear a jacket because she didn't want her parents to see it and start worrying about her.When she arrived home, her parents were so happy especially since they weren't expecting her. Her father observed her for a while and asked, "why do you look so pale? Is Angelo maltreating you?""Far from it dad, Angelo has been nothing short of a model husband. You know I got into this marriage expecting the worst from him but he isn't a bad person.""Nonsense" her dad replied. "I know you are just covering for him because you don't want us to worry. Isa my dear, we are your parents, you can hide your pain from anyone else but you shouldn't hide it from us.Come and place your head on my lap."Isabell

Angelo arrived at the bar and drove over to the parking lot. He came out of the car in a hurry and ended up forgetting his phone inside. Meanwhile, Christy decided to put the next part of her plan into action. She called Steve on the phone and he answered immediately since he had been waiting for her.Due to the loud music, she couldn't hear what he was saying so she went outside the bar to make the call. Angelo spotted Isabella sitting alone with a glass of wine on her table.He walked up to her and did not notice Christy who was talking over the phone outside the bar."Everything is set," Christy said to Steve. Get here right away and Isabella will be all yours.""Thank you so much Christy" Steve replied happily and hung up.After calling Steve, Christy dialed Angelo's number but there was no response. She thought that Angelo was deliberately ignoring her call and decided to use a strange number to call him. After trying to reach him unsuccessfully, she gave up.She believed that A

Please let me see your CCTV footage."The manager led the both of them into a room and rewound the video footage to when Isabella had just been served the glass of wine.They all watched quietly and saw how Angelo ended up drinking the spiked wine and taking Isabella to the bedroom.Steve balled his fist and angrily punched it into the wall. He knew what was in that glass and with the way Isabella and Angelo had been kissing, he knew what had gone down inside the bedroom. "That should have been me," he said out loud.""Calm down" Christy comforted. "I told you that I already have a backup plan. For now, let's be grateful that Isabella ended up with Angelo an

Isabella quickly got dressed in the bathroom and came out. When she did, she realized that Steve had also put on his clothes. She stared at him with suspicion written all over her face. She didn't know what to believe yet, she knew Steve was a decent and nice guy who would never do anything to hurt her but the fact that he mysteriously woke up in her bed without a plausible explanation was extremely worrying. She needed to find out the truth for herself because it was difficult to trust him at this point.She opened the door and walked out while Steve followed right behind her. When she met the manager of the bar, she said, "excuse me please, last night, my husband, Mr. Angelo Flores, paid for a room here and we spent the night. However, when I woke up this morning, there was someone else in my bed. I vividly remember that my husband Angelo was the one in bed with me last night but for some reason, everything turned out differently this morning. I just want to clear everything up

Angelo's uncle closed his eyes and began to explain. "So many years ago, your father and I were both in love with your mum. I had already made a lot of money but your father was still broke. Of course, I didn't help him in any way since we were both after the same woman.In the end, your mother picked your father over me. She fell for him and wouldn't look at me no matter what I did. Your mother's parents though didn't want her to marry your father because he was broke. Mrs. Monte was your mother's best friend. She was already married to Mr. Monte and they had a lot of money.I was confident that I would get your mother in the end because of how broke my brother was, however, Mrs. Monte convinced her husband and they gave your father money to start up his business.
