ISABELLA —- I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my packed suitcases. The decision I was about to make weighed heavily on my heart, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I couldn't stay in this mansion any longer, pretending to be a part of this family when I was nothing more than an outsider. Sofia played happily in her small bathtub, splashing water all around her. She was oblivious to the turmoil within me, unaware of the lies I was about to tell. I didn't want to burden her with the truth, at least not yet. My first priority was to protect her. As I heard the sound of Enzo's car pulling into the driveway, panic surged through me. I needed to act quickly, before he could confront me about my sudden decision to leave. "Sofia, sweetheart, we're going on a little adventure," I said, forcing a smile as I pulled her out of the tub and wrapped her in a towel. "Where are we going, Mommy?" she asked, her big, innocent eyes looking up at me. "We're going to visit Aunt Maggie,"

AURORA —--"So dad can you at least tell me more about Enzo, I searched for him online but there is nothing much about him and something I don't understand is how he owns most of Galiano corporation but Miguel is the CEO and also the fact that his net worth is over a billionaire or more and no one knows what exactly produce all those money." I asked my dad who chuckled."Why do you think I am giving you to him so easily and making sure he doesn't change his mind?" Daddy asked, making me more confused."Daddy please explain to me." I pleaded with my dad who moves closer to me."He owns Galiano corporation." Dad said, making me almost jerk up from my seat."But Mr Miguel owns it, it's under his name." I asked."Miguel is his best friend so Miguel works for him as the CEO." Wow, this is just so unbelievable. Everything dad was saying was still coming to me as a shock."You are trying to say I am getting engaged to a billionaire." I asked, feeling so happy for my future and at the same ti

ISABELLA —As the day of the ceremony arrived, I put on my best dress and stepped into the venue, my heart pounding with nervousness. The room was filled with people, all eagerly waiting to meet the new owner.I scanned the room, my eyes landing on Enzo. He was talking to some of the employees, his demeanor confident and authoritative. I couldn't deny that he looked handsome and powerful, but I reminded myself to stay focused on my work.As the ceremony began, Enzo took the stage, and a hush fell over the room. He thanked everyone for their support and expressed his excitement about leading the company into the future."And lastly," Enzo said, his eyes scanning the crowd. "I want to express my gratitude to Miguel. He has been a loyal friend and an invaluable asset to this company. I couldn't have done this without him."One of the reporters raised their hands up to Enzo which was something I was expecting."Yes." Enzo asked, making the reporter step forward."Mr Enzo Ferrari, you stil

ENZO —- "No, Emma, it's not what you think. Isabella is my new secretary, and we were just discussing some work-related matters."Emma glanced between us, a hint of skepticism in her eyes. "I see. Well, if you need anything, Mr. Enzo, just let me know and I was also curious about what my new position would be." She asked, her gaze not leaving Isabella."Of course you would still be a secretary but not for me, you would work with Miguel as his new secretary ". I said to her as she nods with a wide smile on her face as she turned around to leave the room.As she left the room, the weight of the situation settled upon us. Isabella and I exchanged a nervous glance, both unsure of how to proceed."I...I should go," Isabella finally said, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, understanding the need for distance in that moment. "Yeah, I think that's best."Reluctantly, she turned and walked towards the door, stopping just before leaving. "Enzo, I don't want things to be awkward betwee

ISABELLA —-I couldn't let her wander off alone, especially in her vulnerable state.Ignoring any sense of pride or anger, I sprinted after her, desperately scanning the streets for any sign of her. The fear of losing her consumed me, pushing aside any thoughts of Enzo or our complicated relationship.Finally, I spotted Sofia up ahead, standing near a group of shady-looking individuals. My heart raced as I approached them, my instincts telling me that something was off. Before I could reach Sofia, one of the men grabbed her and forcefully pulled her towards him."No!" I screamed, my voice filled with fear and desperation. I lunged forward, trying to free Sofia from his grasp. But as soon as I made contact with him, everything went black.When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a dimly lit room, my hands bound together. Panic welled up inside me as the reality of our situation set in. We had been kidnapped.I frantically looked around, searching for any sign of Sofia. My heart
