~ISABELLA~"No, Bella, I told you to stop messing with Antonio! He won't like this one bit!" Sarah protested on the phone."You're not listening to me, Sarah. This is my only way to get myself away from Antonio. My father is out of the picture right now," I answered as I paced around the room.On my other hand, I was holding a piece of paper with Peter's cell phone numbers written down."I am listening, and what you want to do is suicide. Abort that mission," she insisted.I took a deep breath as I stopped pacing and looked at the piece of paper in my hand.I was still convinced to call this guy. If Antonio found out that I was interested in someone else, he wouldn't have any other choice but to let me go."I am doing this, babe. I don't want to spend a week under the same roof as Antonio. It's not different than being held hostage by Dante. They are the same person with the same agenda to use me."Sarah exhaled on the other end. "Fine. I hear you, and I want you to be free from all th

~ISABELLA~A few days later, I had already made up my mind and was going on a date with Peter.He and I managed to talk on the phone until we agreed that we would go on our very first date.I didn't even want to bother thinking about Antonio and his threats because the goal was to get far away from him.When I was done getting ready, I made sure that I looked way too pretty for Peter to even be able to control himself around me.After an hour, I was already at the restaurant where Peter and I were meeting.As soon as I walked inside the restaurant, I spotted his handsome face on the table near the window.He smiled warmly at me when our eyes met, and I quickly instructed Kyle to wait for me in the car.When I got to the table, Peter got up and pulled out the chair for me to sit down."Thank you," I thanked him as I sat down."My goodness, you are so beautiful, Isabella. I can't believe that you're here with me. I might as well be dreaming," he complimented me as he sat down.I blushed

~ISABELLA~I got up at 4 a.m. and took a bath because I wanted to be out of the house before Antonio came back.I wanted to go to Sarah's place and spend the day there because I couldn't imagine myself seeing Antonio's face after he shot Peter in front of me like he was some chicken."Where are you going at this time, miss?"I gasped when I heard his voice as I walked out of my room. I rolled my eyes as I wondered if he ever slept."Fuck, Kyle. Shouldn't you be sleeping?" I asked him, irritated."I woke up when you did," he answered as he looked at me wearing a whole suit."Gosh," I muttered. "You can stay behind if you want, Kyle. I don't need you to come with me anyway. If it weren't for you, Peter would be alive," I sneered as I closed the door and headed toward the stairs.He walked behind and didn't say a word. When I stopped, he did, and when I continued walking, he did.I groaned when I realized that I couldn't avoid him. If he wanted to tag along, then I didn't have a problem,

~ISABELLA~ “Bella, where are you?” Sarah asked on the phone when I went to call her from the bathroom at the back of the restaurant. “My marriage celebration, can you believe it?” I chuckled as I took another sip from the glass of wine in my hand. “Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that Antonio picked you up from here just to take you to celebrate your marriage. Is he there with you?” “He’s crazy, Sarah. Can you believe that he threatened to kill the next man that I go out with? I am even thinking of running away. I am sure he won’t even find me,” I replied as I struggled to balance myself against the bathroom wall. “Please don’t do anything you will regret. I have to go now. My shift is about to start.” “No, Sarah? Please don’t go. I don’t want to go back there!” I pleaded with her. “Call me when you’re home. I love you so much,” Sarah answered before she hung up the call on me. “Ugh,” I groaned as I slipped my cell phone back into my pocket. I went to the sink, placed the glas

~ANTONIO~ “You must do everything you can to find her, August. And when you do, I want you to bring Tom alive to me,” I said on the phone on my way to Tom’s father. Because of what happened yesterday when he broke inside the house with his men, I had to fire another security team for their negligence and inability to keep intruders out of the house when I had strictly warned them about the people I was at war with. “I will do that. What about the Conti brothers? We still haven’t dealt with them. If they find out that you’re after Tom because he kidnapped Bella, they will use that opportunity to strike. We have to be on guard on both sides.” “We will deal with the Conti when we get into it. Right now, I need us to find my wife. If Tom does anything to her, I will skin him alive.” I hung up the call as I pulled outside Tom’s father’s house. The old guy lived alone without any guards or whatever. He was old and defeated after the Conti brothers took everything from him. When
