Isadora's POV I was in the kitchen when I heard a familiar voice scream my name. I turn to See Gabriella, Josie and cass all walk in. "Isa!" Josie screams and runs to hug me. "Hey! What are you guys doing here?" "They always attend the Montez Ball with us" Gabriella says smiling."Montez Ball?""Rafael didn't tell you?"She glared.I shook my head."Esa perguena inierda! I could just strangle that boy" (that little shit!) She sighs. "The Montez Ball is an event we throw every year. Mostly family and close friends of the family attend. We get together, drink, mingle, dance and overall have a good time." She explains. I wonder why he didn't tell me? "Are you telling me this because you want me to go?""Of course you're going Josie and Cass are taking you shopping""I don't have the money to go shopping Gabriella and there's no way that .."She Cuts me off. "Shhhh No discutas conmigo carino. We will pay for anything you want.I will not take nk for an answer and you won't worry

Isadora's POV It's been hours, No one has said a single word since the nurse left. Not that there was anything to say in the first place. Rafael was in a trance like state. He hasn't moved from staring at his blood covered hands. I get up and grab his arm which seems to jolt him out of his trance and he looks up at me. His eyes were red and puffy. His hands were stained with blood but it wasn't just Mirella's. A few minutes after the nurse left, Rafael beat his hands bloody on the walls. It took all his brothers, Emiliano and two securily guards to restrain him. When he finally calmed down, he went into a catatonic state the rest of the time. "Come with ne baby." I say gently. He didn't say anything, He just got up and let me guide him into the bathroom. I ran the water and put his hands underneath. Gently nursing his torn up knuckles. Suddenly he jerks his hands away and yanks me close to his chest. Crying as he burried his face into my neck. "I'm here baby. I'm here

Isadora's POV With Mirella asleep on my shoulder we walk in the house and the air is tense. Everyone was crowed in the kitchen. Emiliano looks at me with a stern face. "Please put her to bed and come back when you're done." He says. I nod and take her upstairs. When I get back to the kitchen. Rafael stands behind me and puts his arms around my waist. "Okay, as far as we know. Rodrigo is hiding out in one of his fathers safe houses in Brazil. Since there is no extradidion there .. we can't, from a legal stand point, go and arrest him. Which is why we need to catch him ourselves, Off the books," Jacob says, eyeing everyone. "Jacob and his team will be on standby if we need them." Emiliano adds. "Not juining the fight old timer?" Alfunzo snickers. "My fighting days are done kid, but I can still pull a trigger," Jacob glares at him. "Buuuurn!" Ishmael shouts and smacks Alfonzo on the arm. Alfonzo retaliates and hits Ishmael hard in the chest, "Ow! You hit ny nipple br

Isadora's POVBrazilIt's beautiful here. The colors are so vibrant and the scenery is unbelievable. Rafael grabs my bags and his too, carrying them like weighed nothing. Almost like it was a workout for him. Gabriella and Mirella stayed back at the mansion. Gabriella insisted on coming but Rafael told her Mirella wasn't going and that was the last time she argued with him. "My team and I will go to the safe house and do some recon. For now, everyone can relax until we get back." Jacob says and we all nod. Him and his team get into their black SUV's and drive off. I feel a kiss on the back of my head and turn around. "I'l take our bags to our room. When I finish unpacking, I'm taking you to the beach." Rafael winked at me and walked off. Before we went to the beach, Cass and Josie took me shopping again. I didn't have a bathing suit and Josie wanted a new one. Of course, she made me get the one that would be a jaw dropping, drooling factor for you know who.Once we reach

Isadora's POV My head feels heavy. I slowly open my eyes and I notice I'm in a hospital bed. what the hell? what happened? I look to my left and see Rafael asleep in the chair next to he bed. His hair is messy and his eyes have bags under them."Rafeal?" I manage a low raspy whisper. He shoots up from the chair and looks at me."Isadora !?" He yells, grabbing me and hugging me light."Baby I can't breathe." He losens his grip and kisses me. "I missed you so much kitten." He was on the verge of tears. "You are never doing something like that again. You hear me?" "What happened? Did we get him?" He shook his head. "You got him to confess but the moment he said he was going to kill you, I snapped. You were hurt really bad. You have a couple broken ribs and a dislocated hip. Your body couldn't handle the trauma you went through and you slipped into a cona. You've been out for a couple weeks." Suddenly a nurse walks in and gasps. "Oh good, you're awake!'There are some people here
