All Chapters of Desire And Revenge : Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Isabella POVWhen I walked inside Victoria flower shop, there was various flowers scattered across the table, scissors and tools right beside it, along with a thick pair of gloves.Arrangements in glass vases were in the small refrigerator in the back. Directly next to the shop was a little greenhouse, a plot of land that had the perfect location to get sun exposure for most of the day.Victoria emerged from the back, her hair pulled up in a loose bun. She wore a blue sundress, an ideal shade for her olive skin with bright pink lipstick, Conti eyes, and a slender figure, she was the perfect person to work in a beautiful shop all day. “Isabella!”She set down the flowers she was holding and gave me a hug. “What a pleasant surprise. I’m so glad you stopped by.”“The shop looks beautiful. You’ve made a lot of changes.”“Yeah, I did,” she said.“But I like the way it turned out. I wanted something unique, and I think the number of customers has increased because of it.”“Or because of th

There was nothing but muscle underneath that cotton. “But it wasn’t the truth.”“I’m not ready to see anyone.”“I believe that one,” he said. “And I respect it.”“Doesn’t seem like it.” I crossed my arms over my chest and he watched my movements before his eyes flicked back to mine. “I’m only asking for your companionship, nothing else. Have dinner with me and let’s get some coffee or gelato. Whatever you want but all I’m asking for is your time, pease give it to me.”We by passed all the normal conversation that two strangers had. We skipped to the middle, speaking to each other with such candidness it was like we’d known each other our entire lives. The connection was so strong there was nothing I could do to stop it. It was there and we both knew it. “I don’t want to waste your time. You’re a beauti

Isabella POVMy parents would never act that way. Whatever I wanted to do, they would always be supportive. When Varos wanted to venture into his business, they were supportive of that too.There was nothing we could do or say to make them disapprove of us then I remembered the one thing they could never accept…the one person they could never approve. It was the only instance when my parents didn’t give me what I wanted because it was too difficult for them to look past. “You proved him wrong a million times over…”He nodded, still smiling. “Yeah, I did and it felt good.” His collared shirt fit across his chest nicely, stretching over the muscles of his upper body. He was lean, but it was clear he was strong. I’d seen his sculpted arms before, and it seemed like everything else under his linen shirt was the same. “Can I ask you about the painting you bought from me?”I had it hanging in my living room, a perfect picture of the city. I could talk about artwork forever, so the question

Isabella POVI could do this forever too, and that’s what scared me. I liked everything about Adrian, from his personality to his confidence. I liked the way he carried himself, the way he created art. I liked the connection we had, as if we’d known each other before we even met but those feelings alarmed me and made me feel so much guilt that I despised myself. It’s been months since Dante left and he’d been with other women by now, but that didn’t change the way I felt.I stepped back, putting an end to the tenderness before I could enjoy it a second longer. “I should get going…”I turned my back on him before he even had the opportunity to say anything. His footsteps sounded as he followed me to the stairs. “Isabella.”I stepped on the first stair and gripped the rail. He spoke again, a little more authoritatively. “Isabella.”He didn’t reach out and grab me, but his voice was enough and I turned around, eye level with him. “How long has it been?”He moved his hands into his pocket

Isabella POVAdrian and Varos both turned to me at the same time. Varos glared at me, and Adrian seemed genuinely bewildered. “You’re just going to invite him to eat with us when you know nothing about him?”I asked in shock. “You don’t know anything about this guy. He could be a rapist or something.”Adrian lowered his hand, and instead of being offended, he smiled. “Uh…I’m not a rapist. Just so everyone knows…”Varos continued to glare at me. “Knock it off, Isabella. I’d like to meet your friend.”“You’ve never cared about any of my other friends before,” I snapped.“You never made an effort to....”“Isabella, be quiet.” Varos threatened me with his hostile gaze. “You’re overreacting.”The only reason why my brother was being so polite was because he wanted me to forget about Dante but if Adrian were just some random guy, he would have growled at him like a watchdog. Adrian picked up on the tension. “I’m going to grab a coffee. I’ll be right back.”He headed to the counter so we cou
