ISABELLA“You don’t seem fine, Audrey” I asked for the umpteenth time as we headed back home in Luca’s G wagon.“I am fine” My friend rasped, not looking in my direction.“I saw you with Agosti and now you won’t even look at or talk to me. What happened? Did he hurt you?”She snorted, a dry laugh escaping her.“You can talk to me, you know that right?”“I don’t know if I should say this but he is an asshole” She turned then and I could see the tears in her eyes.“Audrey… what did he do?” I muttered, drawing closer.“He threatened me, Isabella. We…we had something and he threatened me” She sobbed.What is with the Deville men and threats? I thought to myself, patting my friend on the back.After Luca had excused himself, I was escorted straight out by the by the man they called Santiago and I was asked to wait for Audrey who came out not long after.“I am going to talk to him” I raved.“No” Audrey stopped me immediately. “I do not want you telling him anything that I told you, is that

AGOSTI“You summoned me?” Luca strutted into my office.I swear if he wasn’t my son, I would smack him to the seven hells.“What is this I am hearing about a wedding?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light.There was no need to get into an argument with him but at the same time, he had to know that he should not go behind my back and try to do things.“I thought you would be happy at the turn of events, father. You are the one that said you want us to get married because you need her father’s business. I am merely speeding up the process for you”“Does this have anything to do with you wanting to teach her a lesson?” I askedIt was the big elephant in the room and it had bothered me ever since he voiced it out. I wanted to know what was going on in that head of his and if I needed to take steps to prevent him from hurting someone.Luca had always been calm as a child up until the death of his parents, my friends.Since then, he had be weirdly calm… there was a day he was dissecting a

ISABELLA“You are not going to go through with this, are you?” Audrey asked, following me around.I had told her of my plans the next day and she was still looking at me like I was very much mad“I am not going to marry the man and I do not care if you try to discourage me from fleeing. If I go to the UK, he cannot find me and I will be much safer there than here.” I explained.I had packed a few of my belongings but now I was thinking if it made any sense to pack. If I was fleeing, I would not want anyone to notice that I was gone and that included my mother and father.“He sent me an invite all the way from here to the UK” Audrey tried to make me see sense.“So?” I muttered, not paying attention.I was still considering taking a small bag, at least something that contained my toiletries. What if I met up with Joaquin when I got to the UK, I mean he owed me for cheating on me with God knows who and he had been blowing up my phone.“So he is going to find you, think about it” Audrey b

AGOSTI“You must be mistaken” I rose to my feet, holding the phone in a fist.“I know what she looks like, sir. I researched her remember and I can confirm for sure that she is the one I am sitting across right now” Mario insisted.But he had to be mistaken.There was no way Isabella would take the risk by trying to run away from marriage with my son, Luca. What the fuck had he done to her?“Keep watching her and reporting back to me” I ordered. “Do not keep your eyes off her for a minute. I will have some men down there soon to rectify the whole situation” I told him.Yes sir although I have to say that she is not alone. She has someone here with her… the best friend?”“She is no problem. I want Isabella back here within the hour and as for Audrey, you will escort her back after Isabella has been contained”I said the word contained with as much amusement as I could muster.She was bold, I had to give her that but she was too fucking reckless. She had to know that there was no way sh

ISABELLAI wasn’t sure of what was happening by the time I opened my eyes. It would seem that the man had hit me too hard because what I felt at first was pain, blinding pain behind my eyes followed by a dull throbbing at the back of my head.I was even having visions of Agosti which was funny because I should not be thinking about him right now when I had no idea where I was.I smiled up at the apparition before me either ways, bringing a hand up to touch its arm.It felt like living, hot flesh so maybe it wasn’t...I snapped up, a scream erupting from my throat.“What the… you are safe, calm down” Agosti pinned me before I could get up.“Let me fucking go, you animal” I snapped.He stilled, not letting go of me until I had spent all my energy and collapsed back unto the bed.I turned away from him, hoping he would go away but he remained standing beside me, his eyes on the side of my face.“What do you want? I want to be left alone” I muttered.“So you can kill yourself?” He asked“

AGOSTI“Which one of you bastards hit her?” I glared at the men in front of me.They had their heads bowed as they should because no sane man should lay a hand on any woman.I had called for them as soon as retreated from Isabella’s room. Santiago had sent only three men but somehow one of them had managed to be a complete imbecile.“I am not going to ask again so I suggest you all start fucking talking” I warned, slapping my gun to the table.I was glad that they all jolted, their eyes reaching the weapon and then themselves as if to urge whoever had hit Isabella to step forward immediately.It wasn’t long before one of the men stepped forward, his eyes on his shoe. He must have been the one that knocked her out and left the bruise on her beautiful face. I had asked them to retrieve her not beat her to one inch of her life.He did not seem remorse, merely perplexed as to why I was making a big deal out of how they handled someone who was trying to fuck my plans up as I am sure Santia

ISABELLAYou would think that with an event as drastic as my marriage that the skies might let out a downpour but no, not even a drizzle.When I opened my eyes the next day morning, the bright skies mocked me. I could almost hear her laughing at the futility of my request for a cloudy or dark day.I did not get up from the bed, I had no energy to. I laid there and stared at the bright light coming in from the windows until my eyes spurn and watered.“Isabella, thank God… I was so fucking worried” Audrey’s shrill voice interrupted my self pity.She rounded the side of the bed, stopping with her mouth agape.“What the fuck happened to your face?” She asked, her eyes clouding over in tears. “Did he hurt you? That fucking bastard”“You should have seen it yesterday” I smiled, raising my head a bit to look at her. “And he did not hurt me… one of the men who tried to abduct me yesterday hit me in the face so I could pass out” I explained“What an… he should be punished for doing this to you

AGOSTI“You do know that it is bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, especially in her wedding dress” I stopped Luca who was headed in the direction of Isabella’s room.“I only want to check on her and who believes that superstitious nonsense.” He chuckled.He looked better this morning, in a much better mood than I have seen him in a while.“I will check on her for you, you should be heading to the church”“I would love Isabella to ride with me. Maybe she and I would get to talk about… you know everything that has happened in the last 72 hours and come to an agreement of a sort”“Like I said, son… badluck” I laughed when he rolled his eyes.“I will have her ride with her parents. You need to immediately be at the church so off you pop”He nodded, straightening his tie and then climbing down the stairs while I knocked softly on Isabella’s door.I pushed it open, my breath hitching in my lungs as I beheld her. I did not think she was created to walk this earth alongside us… a f

ISABELLAMy smile cracked again for the umpteenth time but I maintained it. They wanted me to smile and I was going to.It was my wedding day after all.My father was standing with Agosti and they appeared in serious conversation. I did not doubt that it was about me.Agosti looked furiousWhat do I care? I asked myself.I was now officially the wife of his son.I could hardly feel the sting where I had been hit. Audrey had done a great job of covering it with makeup and so to everyone who was at the wedding, I was a beautiful and happy bride.“Are you okay, my love?” I heard Luca’s voice behind me.He grabbed my arm, drawing me closer to him and I was repulsed at the alcohol I could smell on his breath.“I am fine” I muttered, trying to free myself from his grasp.“Did you think about what I said?” He asked, whsipering into my ears.“What are you talking about?”His fingers tightened around my arm and I tried not to wince at the pain that shot up my spine.“You are here on your weddi
