But I wasn’t going to explain more than that. Isabella recovered first. “Of course he won’t be maltreated. The people we work with are carefully screened. They’re good people who genuinely want to help kids.” She pulled out her phone. “Let me call my friend Sarah. She’s been looking for a boy around Cruz’s age to live with her. She has a big house and she’s wonderful with children.” I watched as Isabella dialed the number. Cruz was listening to every word, hope starting to show on his young face.

When she tried to retrieve her belongings, their predatory gazes made her flee in fear, abandoning her luggage. Sitting on the roadside, she broke down in tears. But after crying, she wiped her tears and smiled bitterly. Before Nathan found her four years ago, wasn’t she just a penniless beggar with nothing? Determined to survive, Isabella started scavenging for food in trash bins, much like the other homeless people.

“You get a bad feeling when someone looks at you funny.” “Funny looks don’t bleed people dry and leave their bones picked clean,” I snapped. He shut up. Isabella joined me at the edge of the cliff, where we could see the slow-moving trail of refugees winding down into the valley. Her voice was soft. “They’re scared.” “So am I.” She blinked. “You?” “Of losing them. Of losing you.” I swallowed hard. “I’ve seen too many graves. I can’t dig yours.” She turned to me, fierce and beautiful and impossible. “Then don’t let me fall.”

Uneasy Refuge Nadia's POV I did not want Isla in my home, ever. Every cell in my body rejected the idea. This woman kidnapped Elena, kept my daughter in a cage for two years of her time. She caused us unspeakable trauma that might never fully heal. This was insane. But Dylan argued with me in low urgent voices while Isla was being treated by our pack doctor in a secured room. "She helped us escape, babe. She gave us information and she is terrified of her mother and that tells us something."

The hashtag lit up again: **#WornAmbition** — Isabela watched from her private suite. Her assistant hovered. “Public response is back in her favor. The livestream is everywhere. Even Delaroche released a follow-up saying they’re ‘reevaluating’ their pause.” Isabela said nothing. Instead, she turned to the photo beside her—Miguel and Ximena, walking side by side after the kidnapping incident. Her hand curled into a fist. “He’s in the way again,” her assistant muttered. Isabela’s voice was calm. “Good,” she said. “Then I’ll take him out of the way first.”

"The alarms scared them off." "Is everyone okay?" "Everyone's okay." He pulled her into his arms. "You're okay." The intruders were never caught. Isabella spent the next week at the shelter, sleeping on a cot in Ruth's office, refusing to leave. Sebastian brought her coffee, Damien brought her reports, and Lucas and Lily visited every afternoon. "You can't stay here forever," Ruth said. "I can stay until I know it's safe." "It will never be safe. Not completely." Ruth took her hands. "But that doesn't mean we stop living."

Whether they regretted it or not, why did it matter to me? Three days later, Isabella disappeared. Rumor had it that she had her legs broken and was thrown into the basement of an abandoned villa on the outskirts. At the entrance, the bodyguards laughed. “Mr. Garcia’s money’s in place. We should show some initiative.” “That wretched woman’s mind is twisted. She needs to be taught a lesson properly!” That night, Isabella’s screams echoed, sharp and desperate. One homeless man after another entered the basement, and shortly after, they left with their trousers pulled up, satisfied. Isabella cried, cursed, begged for mercy like a madwoman, but no one paid her any attention.

“Can’t you see the striking resemblance? Nathan really is our grandson.” She bit her lip and looked again at the little boy, who this time had a look of suspicion and defiance that made her gasp: Nathan was a Cáceres. … Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Isabella was frantically waving her hands as she packed a suitcase. The room was small, with austere furniture and windows barely covered by tattered curtains. The sound of running water in the bathroom was a constant reminder that her time was limited. Julián was in the shower, but Isabella knew she couldn’t let her guard down.

Isabel was confused at first when she learnt about her dad’s whereabouts. What does he want with Dylan? Or does he intend to intimidate David on his first day in the Pride pack? No, she can’t let the young pup encounter such an unpleasant experience on his first day here. With that thought, Isabel ran outside the house, got into her black Mercedes SUV and drove off. Courtesy of Xavi, she didn’t have to waste so much of her time searching for them and drove straight to the park.
