But the cold, calculating fury I remembered was gone from her eyes. In its place was a profound, weary sadness. “Gwendolyn,” she said. Her voice was softer. “Isabella.” I gestured to a chair. “Please.” We sat, the width of the Persian rug between us. The silence was heavy, but not hostile.

she said. "Henry is dead." "Henry is eternal," Isabella corrected. "He lives in the skyline. He lives in the bank accounts. He lives in your husband’s face." She opened her eyes again. She looked at the fire. "I was twenty-two," Isabella said softly. "When I met him. I was a secretary in the typing pool. I had nothing. No family. No money. Just... hunger."

She wore a heavy black wool coat, buttoned to the chin, but as she moved to adjust her veil, the wind caught the hem. A flash of scarlet silk. She was wearing a red dress to my funeral. A low, jagged laugh escaped my throat. "Vile bitch." The priest’s voice droned on through the speakers, speaking of Isabella’s charitable spirit and tragic end. It was a eulogy for a person who never really existed, a soft, pliable creature they had used and then discarded. As the pallbearers began to lower the empty casket into the earth, the camera zoomed in on Antonio.

"I've known you your entire life. Your father is my best friend. This....whatever you think this is......can't happen." "But you want it to." Isabella's free hand moved to his jeans, palming his obvious erection. "Your body's already telling me you want it." "My body doesn't know better. But I do. I'm forty-five years old, Isabella. You're twenty-three. I could be your father."

“My dears… could you let me pass? I’d like to see him up close…” “Ah! Don’t push—there’s an elderly lady here!” “Wait, seriously? You’re here for Jace too?” “Oh my God, that’s actually so cute—everyone, let her through!” “Ma’am, how old are you?” Isabella paused, rubbing the small of her back with a faint wince. “Oh… I’ve lived long enough,” she said softly. “That young man… he reminds me of someone very dear to me.” Her voice trembled just enough.

“To my darling Isabella, the light of our family. May your future be as bright as your spirit.” Isabella clung to his arm. She wore a silver gown that caught the light. “Thank you, Papa,” she said sweetly. Then she turned to the crowd. “I’m blessed to be surrounded by such authentic love. It reminds me what truly matters.” Her eyes slid to me. “Unlike some people who cling to dusty portraits and the questionable legacies of those no longer here to defend their choices.” The air left my lungs. She wasn’t just insulting me. She was dragging my mother’s memory through the mud of her insinuations, in front of everyone who had ever whispered about the reclusive first Mrs. Castellano.

Blue Star. West Mountain Cemetery, Crystalove City. A woman stood before a freshly erected tombstone, silently paying her respects and bidding farewell to the deceased.

Work no longer saw my presence; my right-hand man had taken over, and for the first time in years, I needed to step away. Nothing would make sense without my little girl.

When we were asked about our impressions of each other, I answered first. “Miss Isabella is beautiful and gentle.” Safe words. Empty words. Then Isabella looked toward me before speaking. “Vivienne is thoughtful and well mannered. I first met her when she was sixteen years old.” The audience reacted instantly. Sixteen years old.
