“What nonsense are you talking, Mom?” Isabella asked and Casey sighed as Isabella took a back knowing about her father. She never thought that her dad will be anything but... Gambler? “I am saying the truth!” Casey answered wiping off the tears away from her eyes.“After you left for Hong Kong... It's just started as fun... But it's become as an addiction to him!” Casey said taking a deep breath and Isabella shook her head.“I will trust anything you say... But, no... I am not trusting this... If you say my dad is a gambler... Never! I will never accept that!” Isabella yelled and Casey closed her eyes sighing and just then Daniel stopped the car in front of the Smith Mansion. Isabella immediately opened the car door and got out of the car. But before she walks aways, paparazzi surrounded around her making her lean against the car. They suddenly surrounded around her without giving her time to figure out and started pushing her making her feel dizzy. Daniel and Casey immediately

“Come on let’s go and sit” Giovanni rushed them to the dining table while Casey and Isabella looked at him like he was some alien. Isabella isn’t still over her father’s death, his funeral and his face still running in her head on repeat, her heart squeezing with pain every time his face flashed in front of her eyes. Casey was feeling awkward and uncomfortable, to have a man in their house when her husband’s funeral was just done, whatever his intentions were. Isabella isn’t having a good feeling either. She knows he’d ask for money too and the fact that they can’t pay it at that moment made her feel humiliated all of a sudden. Everyone who came to the funeral, it felt like they’d ask to pay the debts as soon as possible. Given that he is dead and the amount is more, there is no way they’d give them much time. “Come let’s have lunch” He said, pulling a chair for them, his actions made Isabella grow more nervous and scared. It feels like his every action and word is filled with sa

“Hello” Casey’s voice shivered as she called the man who dealt with them to get her daughter married for three years and produce his heir. Isabella sat beside her mother, clutching her hand as she heard his voice as the mobile was on speaker. “Yes Mrs.Willow?” His voice was more like mocking and Isabella could feel his cockiness even through the call. “I assume you called me to tell me your decision?” He rasped after a moment, a wide smirk on his face as he waited for her to speak. “Yes Mr.Accardi” Casey stammered. “So is your daughter ready? Or should the investors who invested in your husband contact the cops?” Giovanni could feel his lycan wolf getting excited at the answer. He knows the answer but hearing it would calm the beast inside him. Tapping the desk that he was working on, he waited for her to speak. Isabella glared at the mobile, as if it was him. She can’t believe she accepted that shitty deal. But she doesn’t have any option. She was stuck and she was helpless, h

Giovanni watched as Isabella’s expression changed from anger to fear and disgust. He felt a pang of guilt in his chest, wondering if he was doing the right thing by forcing her into this arrangement. He stood up from the couch and walked towards her, gently placing his hands on her shoulders.“Isabella, are you sure you want to do this?” he asked, looking deeply into her eyes. “If you have any doubts or reservations, please tell me. I don’t want you to do something that you’ll regret later.” Isabella looked up at him, surprised by his sudden change of tone. She could see the genuine concern in his eyes, and for a moment, she wondered if he really did care about her. But then she remembered the cold, calculating businessman who had made this deal with her, and she quickly pushed those thoughts aside.Isabella chuckled hearing those words from him. “Regret?” Isabella asked suddenly and started laughing making Giovanni sigh.“Those words doesn't suit you to be honest.” Isabella said as

Giovanni slowly walked towards her as she opened the door for him. Isabella felt a shiver run down her spine as Giovanni walked towards her. She couldn't deny the fact that she was attracted to him, but at the same time, she was terrified of what he might do to her. She knew that she had gotten herself into a situation that she might not be able to handle.“You can leave now!” Isabella said as he stood in front of her. Isabella looked up at him, her heart pounding in her chest. She didn't know if she could trust him, if she could believe his words. But she knew that she had no choice but to try. She closed her eyes, feeling his hand on her cheek, and for a brief moment, she allowed herself to imagine what it would be like to be with him. To feel his strong arms around her, his lips on hers, his body pressed against hers...But then, she shook her head, pushing those thoughts away. She couldn't let herself be distracted by the allure of this man, by the promise of pleasure and desire
