Vincenzo’s POV
I folded the paper and tucked it in my drawer. I looked up at the door through blurry vision, the tears stained my cheek as I sighed and sat back down on the chair. I buried my head in my hands and fought back further tears. She was still the most forgiving and sweetest girl I’ve ever known. She loved her sister and everyone with her whole heart and a warm feeling took over my heart when I knew she loved me too. She was a little sister that I promised to protect, and I didn’t, I’m so sorry Maria. I couldn’t help the sadness that consumed me, I let her down she died because I couldn’t protect her.
‘Vincenzo’ Lorenzo knocked on the door softly and walked in. ‘Are you okay?’ He whispered softly I looked up tears falling down my eye. I huffed and whipped my tears and stood up, ‘don’t worry about me, are you okay?’ I whispered he looked broken and sighed. ‘I promised her I wouldn’t cry, that I wouldn’t be sad, that I would remember her for how she was not her on her death bed’ I nodded, watching him try to be strong and not cry.
‘I promised Isabella, I’d show you this’ he whispered giving me her phone. I looked at it and then back up at Lorenzo studying the facial expressions he looked equally as worried as I was about looking at whatever she wanted me to see. I opened the phone and saw Isabella staring into the camera, I winced seeing the pain of losing her sister on her face, she looked so tired of all this pain, but she still looked breathtaking.
‘Has she said anything about me?’ I whispered. ‘Yeah, she said show your boss’ he looked at me I nodded my head why would she ask? I broke the one promise I made her. I rolled my eyes why do I care so much I’ve seen people die, people losing their loved ones all the time but why does her pain hurt me most. I looked over at Lorenzo who shared her pain, I sighed and re-focused on the phone.
My eyes went wide when I played the video. Lexi and Roxy hung from the wall half-naked, she kidnapped them during work. ‘How the hell did she manage to kidnap them during working hours? We have people everywhere’ I snapped, Lorenzo put his hands up defensively ‘Hey, she did work there besides it’s Isabella she’s crafty’ He shrugged like It was information I should already know. ‘Plus, with the rage, she is feeling this doesn’t surprise me at all’ he added.
I looked back at the phone and watched everything unfold. ‘Which boss?’ she asked them, I squinted my eyes watching them look at her fearfully. ‘Vincenzo King … or Xavier,’ she asked them my jaw tensed what the fuck did she just say.
‘Which boss? … Go on I’m curious’ she provoked them to answer her question. They looked at her scared like everything was crashing down around them as they had just been caught finally mastering the courage to speak. ‘Who are you?’
‘Your worst nightmare’ she exposed who she was as they started squirming and yelling. I looked up at Lorenzo who was watching the footage with me, ‘What is this?’ I asked through gritted teeth. ‘Dragon’ was all he answered. My attention snapped back to the video hearing their voices. ‘Our deal was to make you look guilty in Vincenzo’s eyes. So, Xavier can take you back so that you would go back to him. He wanted us to do this when his memories of you were gone and there was no foundation, we knew it was the best time to plant doubt in his mind.’ I clenched my jaw, so she was right, my own were double agents and I kicked her out and faked her death.
I snapped back towards the phone hearing a cry, Isabella stabbed the knife in Lexi’s stomach ‘please,’ Roxy begged, her voice nearly failing her under the weight of her frightened state. Her eyes darted to Lexi and then back to Isabella. ‘Please. Don’t hurt her, hurt me instead’ I couldn’t see Isabella, but it was obvious she watched them amused, as she twirled the bloody knife. The familiar chuckle left her lips. ‘Is that what you think?’ she asked. I watched the video intensely shamelessly very turned on right now.
She moved the knife and placed the blade underneath Roxy’s chin, forcing her to look her in the eyes. ‘Oh, you poor, naive thing. I was always going to hurt both of you.’ she took a dramatic pause for a moment then continued ‘I just planned to hurt you worse’ Chills ran threw my spine hearing her threaten Roxy. Her voice was low and cynical.
They both started struggling and squirming trying to get out of the handcuffs. ‘Oh no, trust me, sweetheart, you’re going to want to stay strapped in for this. We’re about to find out just how many times a person can break.’ She mocked them enjoying seeing them in pain, it looked like she thrived watching them squirm. She stabbed Roxy in her thigh and dragged the knife down, Roxy let out a shrieking scream causing me to wince and look away.
She pulled the knife out and watched her as she struggled to keep her head up. ‘You let them in’ slashed her stomach, ‘You helped them inside!’ slashed Lexi’s stomach. ‘YOU ENABLED’ another slash, ‘THEM TO ENTER’ another slash. ‘GAVE THEM THE ABILITY’ another slash. ‘TO KILL MY SISTER’ she screamed. With every slash I tensed, I caused her to be in this much pain this is my fucking fault.
She balled her hands into a fist and started pounding my fist into their faces. With all her anger, her grief she wasn’t satisfied with the knife anymore she needed her hands to get dirty she needed to feel the pain she was causing them. She’s done more damage with her hands than the weapons.
‘YOU KILLED HER. YOU LET HER DIE. YOU LET THEM GO IN WITHOUT ANYONE TO STOP THEM. YOU HELPED THEM KILL HER’ She screamed her voice high as I watched her pounding her fist into their faces and stomachs watching her world crash beneath herself.
She suddenly stopped when they became lifeless, she stepped back, and both their heads hung low barely able to breathe. Blood poured from their face as their eyes puffed from the impact. ‘You took the last bit of light and killed her. Don’t worry I’ll kill the shooter next.’ She flicked her knife, ‘He promised me, he would protect her. He said he would! He lied’ I shut my eyes feeling the guilt crawl back and sit in my stomach. She carved ‘to’ on Lexi’s stomach and moved towards Roxy. ‘He promised, and now she’s dead and you both just helped her death’ She bit I watched her feeling like this was my fault. It was my fault.
She Carved ‘insanity’ on Roxy’s stomach. ‘To insanity’ I whispered.
She took a step back and looked at their stomach, she cut a circle in their stomachs dipping her fingers she wrote all over the walls. ‘Insanity’ ‘to insanity’ ‘remember yet?’ ‘Promise?’ ‘traitor’ ‘miss me?’ and more I set the phone down on the desk and rubbed my temple. She grabbed her gun from her back pocket, aiming it at their chests. ‘Vincenzo’ Lorenzo breathed out indicating for me to keep watching I looked down at the phone.
‘You set fire to my world, now I’ll happily watch you burn for what you did’ she lowered her gun and left the building. ‘She left’ I watched confused … why didn’t she kill them ‘Did she leave witnesses?’ I asked Lorenzo. He watched the video horrified and shook his head not saying a word like he knew what she was about to do. ‘You really don’t know what she’s going to do?’ he asked me shocked. I shook my head no, ‘fuck you really have forgotten her, haven’t you?’ Not being able to respond my eyes were glued to the screen seeing her.
She grabbed the phone and got inside the car aiming her gun out the window filming as she shot every single gas tank in sight setting the building up in flames. I immediately shut the phone off and threw it on the desk. ‘That was dark’ Lorenzo breathed out, I looked at him. ‘That wasn’t Isabella, that was Dragon.’
‘Dragon? Isabella? It doesn’t matter’ I shouted running my hand through my hair. ‘It’s all the same person, it’s just a cover to distant herself from the horrors she committed.’ I shrugged my shoulders frustrated, he looked at me confused at my reaction. ‘Shouldn’t you be freaking out? Shouldn’t you be freaked out? LOOK WHAT SHE DID’ He yelled pointing to the phone, ‘SHE STABBED THEM BUT WASN’T SATISFIED SO SHE BEAT THEM UNTIL THEIR EYES WERE COVERED BY THEIR SWOLLEN EYELIDS. VINCENZO’ He yelled panicking.
I looked at him calmly ‘who did you see? You saw Dragon si?’ I asked and he nodded his head slowly. ‘I saw a girl who just lost her sister, I saw someone who was hurting and grieving. I saw in that video a person who needs to be told it’ll all be okay, that everything’s going to be okay. I saw a girl who was lost and full of hate. A girl who lost all hope’ I shut my eyes and let out a sigh … I caused that.
‘You’d be the person to know huh?’ Lorenzo asked, more like questioned. I looked up and nodded my head slowly remembering my rampage after Dante had passed away. I sighed not wanting to think about it. I grabbed the phone staring at the frozen image of her positioning the phone. ‘What are you going to do?’ He whispered, ‘I need to see her. Tell her to meet me at the horse ranch’ I nodded my head looking at the phone.
‘You never take anyone there’ I shrugged my shoulder ‘I need a safe place I know no one knows, besides maybe the horses will cause her to be less stabby?’ Lorenzo let out a small laugh. ‘Dragons scary’ he commented staring at the phone, ‘if she could she would bring them back to life and do it all over again … over and over again’
I looked at the phone for a minute looking at her face, her perfectly structured face. Her green eyes that I could stare at forever, her soft blush lips but her beauty was hidden under the rage and sadness.
‘Maybe the Dragon needs saving’ I whispered looking up at Lorenzo. My phone lit up ‘Luca’ one new attachment. I open my phone and look at the image.
Isabella’s POV
I woke up feeling sick, I mentally whined rushing to the bathroom. Watching everything I ate last night ended up in the toilet. I flushed the toilet and washed my face; I looked in the mirror and felt sick and beaten down. I sighed feeling like I needed a day to just relax, so far Lorenzo kept his promise and is looking for my parents, I think he Is doing it more so for Maria’s sake than mine, but I appreciated him even more for it.
I got in the shower slowly and let the hot water melt away all my problems. I stayed like that for a few minutes letting the hot water prickle at my skin as I sighed underneath the water. I heard Lorenzo’s voice from my door, and I sighed quickly finishing my shower and getting ready. I stepped out of the shower and got dressed walking out of my room I saw Sebastiàn, Alex and Lorenzo all sitting around the table. ‘What do you tell Vincenzo when you come here’ I spoke up grabbing a drink from the fridge. ‘Work’ he shrugs his shoulders. I look at him raising an eyebrow as I roll my eyes ‘he already knows you know I’m alive’ I state.
‘He knows but that doesn’t mean he wants me near you, he is pretty pissed you killed the girls and that you continue to blow your cover’ he rushed the words out and started breathing heavily out of breath. I cocked an eyebrow at him and shook my head ‘tell your boss to fuck off’ I smiled sarcastically and shut the fridge door a little too aggressively. He looked at me with pursed lips and with a high-pitched voice ‘hormones’ he sang. I grabbed an apple and threw it at his head. ‘HEY! These are made for eating not assaulting … bloody hell you really are a mum in training’ he rubbed his head.
I rolled my eyes and flipped him off, I grabbed my drink and some strawberries and took a seat next to him on the couch. As much as I hate Vincenzo for not being able to keep his promise a small part of me knew it wouldn’t last that at first sight, I’d forgive him. ‘You might want to tell him about the baby’ he whispered softly. I looked at him like he lost his mind ‘how the hell am I supposed to tell a man I hate and want to kill that I’m pregnant with his child THAT I KEPT A SECRET FOR OVER A MONTH!’ I yelled. He pushed his head back and held his hand up ‘because after he watched the video’ he drifted off slightly as my eyes went wide, I leaned towards him waiting for him to continue. ‘He wants you to meet him at the ranch’ he whispered below usual audible.
‘What?’ I asked ‘yeah’ he looked at me scared. ‘What did you say!’ I yelled, ‘yeah…’ he drifted off. ‘What?’ I asked waiting for him to elaborate further but he just nods his head with his eyes wide open. I smacked his arm and shouted ‘NO! You fucking idiot what did you say!’ He rubbed his arm and whispered again. ‘He wants you to meet him at the ranch’ I looked at him sending daggers to his head. ‘If you don’t speak up, I promise you I’m going to shove my drink so far up your ass you’ll be talking in a high pitch voice forever’ he gulped and stood up near Sebastiàn for protection ‘yeah because I can’t take him’ I sarcastically mocked his poor choice.
He let out a breath and looked at me scared ‘he wants you to meet him at the ranch’ he rushes out and ducked behind Sebastiàn. Alex and Sebastiàn wince waiting for my reaction. I took a second to process what he said and looked back up at him ‘how am I going to go to him pregnant!’ I whisper yelled. ‘Bitch. You still fucking have abs, and your stomach is flat he won’t know! It’s your first baby you won’t show that quick’ he explained. ‘How … you know what not even gonna ask’ I shook my head.
‘I DONT WANT TO SEE HIM’ I yelled.
‘HEY! Stop yelling at me this is more of a you problem than it is a me or we problem’ he sassed. I eyed him ‘stop talking’ Alex warned him, I nodded my head towards Alex ‘listen to the wise boy’ I warned him.
‘I’m just saying, you had a month and more to tell him and you haven’t I get why you’re hesitant but the baby in your stomach is also half his don’t you think he has a right to know?’ I pondered his words and sighed I stood up and stormed outside needing a minute to myself.
I sighed sitting on the grass, I know he had a right. Okay, he had a big right to know about the baby I was carrying but I feel like somehow telling him is like betraying him. I just know his confused already about everything every day is a different battle trying to figure out what’s real and what’s fake. The news of the baby can be the final nail, it can either go well or bad.
‘Isabella’ Lorenzo hesitantly called my name, I looked up at him and sighed nodding my head. ‘You are not in danger you can come sit’ I spoke up patting the grass beside me. He sat down and side-hugged me gesturing me to lean my head on his shoulder. I sighed and leaned my head on his shoulder and looked into the distance.
‘I know you’re right’ I whispered softly he hummed staying quiet. ‘I just wish nothing changed, I wish I listened to my gut feeling and never let him go on that stupid plane and I wish he didn’t forget me. Maybe this hatred would disappear maybe Maria would have been alive. Maybe everything would’ve been great’ He kissed my head and sighed. ‘You can’t play the what-if game, Isabella. What happened has passed, we can’t alter our future on it. Take what hurt you and keep it as a lesson but don’t keep it as a burden’ He whispered.
I sighed and shook my head ‘but-‘ he cut me off and stated ‘This is going to sound like we are aliens from another planet, but we don’t get normal endings, or a normal fairy tale. Our life is dangerous, and death is something we face every single day we are more exposed to it than most people. Normal is something not in the cards for us’ he sighs finally accepting his life. ‘You’re so annoying when you make sense’ he laughed and shook his head. ‘I know there was a compliment in there somewhere and I’ll take it’ he laughed.
I looked up at him ‘You piece of shit’ I laughed ‘Ah, there it is!’ he cheered. I rolled my eyes laughing, Lorenzo looked back up in the distance and whispered. ‘You know … He always wanted kids, when we were young, he always said how excited he would be to have a girl. He was obsessed with Ariana and always wanted his own little princess to spoil’ I smiled feeling a butterfly sensation erupt imagining him with our baby.
I sighed ‘do you think his mind is still like that? After he lost his memory. You think he would want to have a baby with a stranger?’ I asked scared to tell him. ‘Isabella, he knows you, you can see his heart and his own head trying to remind him. That’s why you’re alive, anyone who is accused of betraying him is killed immediately if he finds solid proof or is tortured … he did all this to keep you safe because the old him somewhere deep down he knows you’ He reassured me.
‘I hate him … I hate him so much for forgetting me. I hate him for breaking his promise and most importantly I hate him because it takes so much energy to hate him.’ I admitted. ‘I’ll go and meet him at the ranch. I’ll tell him about his baby’
‘Think of the positives if you fuck him you can’t get more pregnant’ he joked laughing his head off, I shook my head ‘idiot’ I slapped his arm.
We both stood up and walked back inside. I grabbed my jacket and put it over my shoulders, sighing ‘I need to get some air before we go to him’ I spoke up, Lorenzo nodded his head and suggested we all go for a picnic at the beach before I leave for the horse ranch. I nodded my head agreeing, ‘Oh yes I want something sweet!’ I demand. They flinch back putting their hands up ‘Alright, alright. Easy, easy. We don’t want no trouble.’ I rolled my eyes and went outside to the car ‘IF YOU DON’T GET SOMETHING GOOD, I’LL EAT YOU’ I yelled out ‘WAS THAT YOUR WAY OF CALLING US SWEET?’ Lorenzo yelled back.
Choosing to ignore him I slammed the door shut and prayed for his soul. I looked at the garden in front of me and sighed, picturing Maria and me as kids playing in the flowers.
FLASHBACK
Maria jumped on me screaming in my ear ‘HERMANA!’ I pushed her off me laughing ‘aye Maria what’s wrong?’ I laughed out watching her jumping all over the couch. ‘I’m bored’ she whined still bouncing, I watched her amused ‘You had sugar, didn’t you?’ I questioned. Mama came inside the living room and saw her bouncing up and down. ‘MARIO DID YOU LET MARIA HAVE SUGAR’ She yelled rushing out to go find papa. I laughed and shook my head, I stood up on the couch staring at her ready to pounce, she stopped jumping and stared at me scared.
I lunged forward and she took off running, I lifted myself off the couch ‘damn it’ I yelled and chased after her. ‘What was that Isabella?’ Mama shouted. ‘I said oh no’ I laughed and chased Maria outside, she was hiding behind the flower bush. I eyed her ‘I see you’ I sang and lunged forward she let out a shriek laughing and running. We ran across our garden, and I finally got close enough. I jumped forward tackling her to the floor, ‘HERMANA’ I yelled out laughing.
She squirmed underneath me laughing, ‘Eres tan pesada’ (cant breathe) I scoffed offended ‘are you calling me fat!’ I jumped off her and laid down next to her on the grass. ‘Do you think if we grow up, we will become like Mama?’ she asked me.
I furrowed my eyebrows confused ‘what do you mean like Mama?’ I asked her. ‘Responnsibelle’ I lifted myself up with my elbow ‘responsible?’ I asked and laughed. ‘IT’S A HARD WORD’ she yelled at me. ‘No Maria we will stay kids forever’ she nodded her head smiling. ‘Good. Life is funnier like that’ I shook my head and helped her sit up.
‘It’s you and me forever Hermana’ I smiled nodding my head ‘me and you forever Hermana’ I confirmed nodding my head. We did our small handshake and high-fived laughing.
END OF FLASHBACK
I felt my chest tighten as I wiped away the tears that managed to escape. ‘It was supposed to be me and you forever Hermana’ I whispered looking at the empty garden.
I shook my head taking in a deep breath “damn hormone” the car doors opened and the boys all jumped in ‘You ready’ Lorenzo asked me.

We finally got to the beach, and we got down smiling and laughing, we found a quiet spot and sat down, ‘Where’s my something sweet’ I extended my hand out. Lorenzo hesitantly pulled out chocolate, biscuits, and a bunch of sweets. I eyed him and looked at the number of sweets in front of me ‘I didn’t want you to eat us’ he exclaimed defending himself. I laughed shaking my head and grabbing the biscuits. I watch Alex’s fist bump the air ‘I’m guessing you picked the biscuits?’ he nodded his head proud of himself grabbing a biscuit and eating one for himself.
I took off my shoes and buried my feet in the sand, I smiled feeling the sand prickle and tickle my foot. ‘I love the beach’ I whispered, ‘everything about it is so calming and relaxing’ Sebastián spoke up. I nodded my head; I eyed Sebastian smirking. He looked at me cautiously ‘So Sebastián how’s life’ I smiled condescending ‘Isabella I live with you’ he replied softly. ‘I mean life, when you go to ‘work’ at the King’s’ I, laughed wiggling my eyebrows. ‘Isabella!’ he warned. ‘You can’t hit a pregnant lady’ I smiled and rubbed my stomach.
‘Fine let me be more specific. Have you made a move already?’ I pushed he looked at me ready to throw sand in my eyes. I moved back and hide behind Alex. ‘You know on Ariana’ I spoke up making it more specific ‘Because you like her’ I continued making it more awkward. Lorenzo looked at him like an older brother. I laughed watching the death stare aimed at Sebastián. ‘You like my sister?’ He spat I oohed eating my biscuits.
‘Stay away from Ariana’ Lorenzo warned. ‘I wasn’t planning on going near her’ he admitted. ‘Why not is my sister not good enough for your Spanish ass?’ he scoffed offended. I sniffled a laugh shaking my head. ‘N- No. I mean yes, I mean … what the fuck just happened.’ Sebastián rubs his temple.
‘This is what happened, stay away from my sister. She is never allowed to date, try again and Vincenzo and I will be waiting for you’ he threatened. I looked at the two of them staring off. ‘I mean Ariana is 20 I think she is allowed to have a dating life. I’m surprised she hasn’t dated already’ I admitted shrugging my shoulders. ‘She is drop-dead gorgeous and has such a golden personality. Your lucky guys don’t ask her out because she has you two idiots for brothers’
He smiled nodding his head satisfied ‘The king brothers are dangerous and one of them is always ready to kill. No one dares’ he felt proud. ‘You know she is eventually going to date, and wouldn’t you want her to be with a guy who knows your mind, is loyal, comes from the same illegal background, can protect her and is literally one of your closest friends’ I pointed out.
‘I can protect her; Vincenzo and I have been protecting her for 20 years.’ I rolled my eyes ‘Lorenzo, she is eventually going to get sick and tired of the restrictions. Don’t make her go behind your backs and take a loser off the street because he offers her freedom and a compliment’ I pointed my finger at him.
He slumped his shoulder and looked at Sebastián and then at me. ‘Isabella Knights?’ I looked up and saw a man who looked so familiar, but I couldn’t pinpoint who he was. ‘Mr King sends a car for you’ my mouth formed and ‘O’ I stood up dusting the sand off my exposed thighs. ‘Okay,’ I smiled nodding my head and getting up, before coming to a halt ‘how did he know I was here?’ I looked at the man who stood and uttered nothing. ‘He must be new’ I spoke up looking him up and down.
‘Otherwise, you would’ve answered me by now,’ I added, he just stood there staring at me and waiting for me to walk toward the car. I shook my head exhausted ‘Fine’ I muttered through my teeth with the fakest smile. I waved bye to the boys and got into the car, I leaned in the back seat and waited anxiously.

The car came to a stop, but it wasn’t the ranch … it was Vincenzo’s cooperate office. ‘I thought he wanted to meet me at the ranch’ I spoke up, the man simply got out of his car and opened the door, ‘Mr. King is in his office waiting for your arrival’ I nodded my head and let out an oh.
Makes sense, his just an employee of the legit business that’s why he is so formal, okay makes sense. I walked up the stairs and stepped inside the building everyone was running around and were dressed so luxurious making me feel out of place just like the first time I visited him at work. I pushed passed them all and got into the elevator and hit the top floor, the bell dinged, and I made my way to his office. ‘Excuse me miss you’re not allowed inside’ A man spoke up.
I turned around and saw him eye me while he held some files in his hand, I tilt my head examining him. He was in navy blue suit pants and a fitted black t-shirt, my eyes travelled up his tall body to his face. He was handsome but not like Vi- I mentally scolded myself for the stupid comparison and smiled. ‘I’m sorry but-‘ I went to explain that Vincenzo was expecting me, but the man did something that surprised me even more. He placed the tip of his finger on my lip to silence me. My eyes went wide, and my blood boiled.
‘I know you might have a thing for the CEO, but I think I can show you an even better time.’ He whispered; I cocked my eyebrow ‘oh could you?’ I whispered playing along, he hummed lowly nodding his head ‘I’ll have your legs shaking baby’ he licked his bottom lip, I let a giggle bitting my lower lip. ‘I hope what you’re dealing is as big as your talk’ I raised an eyebrow looking at him with a playful smirk.
I know he was watching because I heard the door open also, I can feel a hole being burned in the side of my head. I also know he was furious, but I want him to know that just because I’m here doesn’t mean that everything is back to what it was or that I forgave him. ‘Should we ask the boss to join us?’ I commented looking over my shoulder at a very angry Vincenzo.
The man jumped back ‘boss’ he greeted and went to walk away, Vincenzo walked in front of him blocking his path ‘If you touch my girl, I’ll break your neck’ he threatened him and stepped aside for him to pass. My breathing hitched hearing his threat, while my pussy automatically began throbbing hearing his voice again and ‘my girl’
I spun on my heel and made my way to the office doors; Vincenzo grabbed my arm and spun me back around to face him. ‘What was that?’ he spoke through gritted teeth. ‘What was what?’ I asked clueless, ‘Isabella.’ he warned I rolled my eyes ‘jealousy is a good look for you’ I whispered. He rolled his eyes ‘I don’t get jealous because I know what I can do for you they can’t measure up to’ my breathing picked up. I bit my lower lip looking at his lips, ‘Don’t bite your lip’ he pressed on my chin making me open my mouth realising my lip.
‘You got jealous’ I taunted, he laughed ‘I don’t get jealous I kill’ he explained, I laughed ‘so will you kill him? or will you kill me?’ I asked pressed my body against his. ‘Can I kiss you before I kill you?’ he breathes out I criss crossed my legs traying to contain myself, fucking hormones! ‘No’ I walked in the office ‘and since when was I your girl’ I yelled standing in front of the desk as he followed behind closing the doors.
He grabbed the office phone and told his assistant to hold all calls and meetings until he said otherwise completely ignoring my comment earlier. ‘What do you want Vincenzo?’ He looked put his phone down and stood in front of me ‘I was wrong’ he spoke up looking at me ‘I should have believed you; I should have been there for you, and I should have protected Maria’ I stepped back hearing her name.
‘I asked you for one thing’ i whispered ‘keep my sister safe’ I breathed out sitting down on the leather couch ‘Isabella I didn’t know she would jump in front of that bullet. I didn’t think-‘ I stood up fuming ‘That’s Right! You didn’t fucking think. You didn’t think to listen to me when I told you that Lexi and Roxy are lying moles! You didn’t think that after all these years and all this time that I could never fucking do anything bad to you because I fucking lo-‘ I immediately stopped talking catching myself.
I let out a breath as the tear rolled down my face, I moved to the side and whipped it off trying to calm down. I turned around facing him ‘If you believed me. None of this would’ve happened’ and with that I went to leave but Vincenzo gripped my arms and spun me around, I looked up at him and he looked down at me his body towering above mine.
‘I did believe you’ he whispered, ‘If I didn’t you would have been dead a long time ago Isabella’ he added. I looked at him confused ‘I knew straight away you would never intentionally hurt me.’ I looked confused shaking my head ‘Then why did you kick me out? Fake my death?’
‘I needed you out of that house so I could protect you!’ He exclaimed and pushed himself off me, ‘I knew that if you stayed whoever it was that was setting you up would eventually kill you and I couldn’t bare the thought of a strand of hair getting out of place so I did the one thing I knew would keep you safe. Even though you didn’t stay put and put yourself in dangerous situations daily!’ he brushed his fingers through his hair looking stressed.
‘I TOLD YOU WHO IT WAS! I TOLD YOU LEXI AND ROXY!’ I yelled getting frustrated, ‘I KNOW YOU DID BUT I DIDN’T-‘ He yelled back before I swiftly cut him off ‘YOU DIDNT WHAT? YOU WANTED TO PROTECT YOUR HOES?’ I yelled out feeling a sting of jealousy.
‘NO, I WANTED TO USE THEM TO GET TO XAVIER ISABELLA I WANTED TO GET TO HIM TO GIVE YOU YOUR PARENTS BACK’ He yelled throwing his hands in the air sitting on the edge of his desk. ‘What?’ I whispered, he wanted to get them for me. I walked toward him slowly, standing in front of him I opened his legs so I can get close.
‘Kiss me’ I whispered.
(SMUT WARNING)
Vincenzo’s POV
Without thinking I smash my lips to hers, her body immediately reacting to mine. I pull her in closer by her waist her hands start tugging at my hair making me groan. Fuck what is she doing to me? It’s like whenever I’m with her I have no control over anything. I stand up never breaking the kiss my tall frame towering over her, tugging at the hem of the shirt ‘Off’ I order. ‘No’ she teased, I break the kiss looking at her.
Gripping her singlet from her chest I rip it in half Isabella let’s out a gasp. Looking down her perfect caramel skin and her tits perfectly hidden in her red bra, ‘it’s like you knew’ I whispered against her neck. Turning her around her ass now firmly planted on my growing cock I smirk. Walking her to the edge of the desk I lean her over. My now hard bludge just in between her ass.
‘That singlet was my favourite’ she whispered looking up at me from the table, pulling out my wallet I take out my golden card putting it in her mouth, she bits down. I lean over and thrust myself into her I could feel how wet she is even with pants on. ‘Pin is 728’ Smirking I stand back upright, ‘are you going to do what I tell you?’ I asked roughly pulling down her pants, she lets out a whimper before shaking her head no.
‘No?’ I asked knowing she would object, above her underwear I start slowly playing with her pussy ‘Oh fuck’ she moans out ‘are you sure?’ I asked and she still objected, slowing down even more my finger now travelled to her clit teasingly stroking it knowing she would want me to go faster I kept it as slow as possible. ‘Vincenzo’ she whimpered, ‘I love it when you moan my name Isabella’ She bit her bottom lip, I groaned and slapped her ass ‘Don’t bite your lip’ I warned her, she let out a squeal. ‘You want to flirt with other guys?’ I asked rubbing the spot I slapped, she looked back at me enjoying my jealousy.
‘He was cute’ she smiled innocently; I spanked her again the slap echoed in my office. She perked her butt up and let out an excited squeal. Spanking her again ‘I won’t stop until you say you’ll do as I say’ She bite her bottom lip again staying silent. Spanking her ass cheek again, both were now red. She perked her ass up with every hit. ‘Okay, Okay’ she yelled out. Nodding her head in agreement. Smirking I kissed both her cheeks, licking, and kissing where I had hit. ‘Good because who’s your boss?’ I smiled. ‘You’ she groaned feeling my cock firmly planted on her throbbing wet pussy.
‘So wet for me’ I mummer into her hair, with my right arm i swipe everything off the desk, I hook my fingers on the red waistband, tugging at it I can see her trying to suppress a moan. Smirking I pull them down, my fingers trailing her exposed skin, starting from her ankle all the way up. ‘Vincenzo’ she begs, spanking her ass, she squeals ‘shhh’ I tap my lips. Spreading her legs open I go down on my knees my tongue trails every inch of her leg, all the way up to her inner thigh. Leaving sloppy kisses, with tongue, no tongue, only tongue, wet, dry, sloppy until I finally reach the end of her inner thigh and stop again. She lets out a pleading whimper needing my tongue.
His hands grip her upper thigh pulling her towards my face the tip of my tongue trailing her throbbing pussy from bottom to top, flicking the tip of my tongue on her clit going slow on purpose. ‘Fuck you taste so fucking good’ I moan. I turn her around helping her making sure her back was flat on the desk giving me better access to what I wanted to eat.
My tongue goes back up pressing it flat on her clit, making her scream not even caring about anyone outside these walls. I stats flicking my tongue up and down from side to side. She grips the side of the desk, her back arched while she grinds herself against me, I started rubbing her clit with my thumb while I eat her out. ‘Fuck, oh my god’ she moans out. Keeping the motion going I penetrate her with my middle finger.
As soon as I enter, she screamed out ‘Vincenzo Fuck’ feeling her about to come I stop ‘Not until I say’ I warn her, she nods her head licking her lips. Eating her out I suck on her clit flicking my tongue in the process, still fingering her I put in another finger.
Isabella’s moans filled the office, opening my mouth, my top lip rests on her clit while my tongue travelled down and penetrated into her pussy making her gasp. ‘Ahh fuck. Fuck. Mmmmm just like that don’t stop’ she begged taking off her bra and throwing it to the side. Keeping my speed, I keep fucking her with my tongue I grip my breast and moan out ‘Go faster’ I begged him.
Smirking my hands travel up and pinch her nipples softly rubbing them between my fingers. I could feel her about to explode, ‘now Isabella’ I mummer against her still going, without a second she let out a moan Cumming, cum was in and around my mouth but I never stopped picking up speed I started licking her clit again flicking my tongue faster her body shaking feeling every sensation, she screams out her hand in my hair, ‘Oh god’ she moans her pussy now very sensitive. ‘Fuck fuck fuck fuck’ she moaned out coming into a second orgasm she lets out a scream without a care in the world.
Moving back, I smirk standing up I grip her throat and pull her upright, ‘I want you to see how fucking good you taste’ smashing my lips to hers, My tongue swirls around her mouth she moans into the kiss giving me more access before she started sucking on my tongue Oh fuck me, I groaned eyes roll to the back of my head she’s fucking hot.
‘Delicious’ she comments on her taste, licking her lips, ‘I want to taste you’ she whispers already undoing my zipper, opening my mouth and sticking out my tongue she pulls my cock out slapping it on her tongue she licks the head teasingly with the tip of her tongue, kissing it, licking it from his balls all the way up to the tip of my cock. ‘Fuck just like that’ My hands in her hair my head falls back when she takes my cock in whole ‘cazzo’ I mumble thrusting in and out of her mouth, He grips her tits squeezing them in my hands as I fuck her mouth. she pulls away letting out a breath ‘fuck’ she mumbles against my cock spitting on it and going back in.
Holding her head in place I fuck her pretty little mouth, holding myself in place she gags at the length, pulling out she lets out a breath smirking and licking her lips. She stands up pulling me in by my tie she pushes me on the desk table, crawling on top of me she smirked and started grinding her pussy against my cock. ‘Ride me’
Grabbing my cock, she positions my dick now feeling every fucking perfect inch of her wet pussy, letting out a moan on contact my eyes roll back as she bounces up and down on me. ‘oh, fuck me it’s so big’ she moans out, she leans forward bouncing my ass up and down on my cock. I thrust my hips up picking up the speed, hearing the satisfying slap every time I fuck her, and her uncontrollable moaning was so fucking hot.
Her tits bounced up and down in front of my face licking my lip I lean up taking in her nipple in my mouth and sucking on it. She moans out her forehead resting on mine, ‘I- Oh fuck’ she moans. ‘Your cock feels so good in me baby’ she whimpered licking the side of my face I breathe out ‘cazzo’ feeling my throat close.
Holding her hips down she starts spelling out her name like she was marking her territory. Moving her hips in the motion of her name. ‘I’ up and down, ‘s’ sake motion, ‘a’ circular, ‘b’ circle up and down, ‘e’ side and half circle ‘l’ up and down and finally ‘a’ circular. ‘Isabella’ I moan out ‘say my name again’ she whispers as she nibbles on my ear.

Keeping my dick inside her I turn us over, on my knees, I pull her up by her neck, now on her knees and her ass against my crotch I leave sloppy kisses all over her neck then bury my face in my hair smells like vanilla. Slow thrusts as I took her in and with each thrust, she suppressed a moan, I move my head back she leans over her chest on the desk, I smirk grabbing her hair from behind I start fucking her hard and fast, feeling every inch of her.
‘Fuck!’ she kept screaming, as she cums into her third orgasm after a few more I quickly pulled out feeling myself about to cum, she quickly turns around as she pumps me, my eyes roll to the back of my head ‘fuck Isabella’ a throaty groan and my cum now all over her tits and a little on her face.
END
She smirks licking it off herself and stands up, ‘I don’t even know what to say’ she breathes out breathlessly. I smirk ‘next time you flirt with a guy remember three orgasms.’ I comment winking at her, she rolls her eyes and looks for her clothes. I go into my drawer and pull out some wipes, cleaning myself off. Giving her some as well, she wiped her face and her body off.
‘How about you come back?’ I asked her looking up, she freezes and meets my eye ‘what?’ she asked confused, ‘I believe you. I … I miss you back at the estate’ I mumble thinking she didn’t hear the last part. ‘What?’ she whispered hopeful, I cough shaking my head ‘Ariana, Lorenzo and the guys uhm they miss you’ I nod my head pulling my pants back up. ‘I can’t’ she whispers ‘why?’
She bites her bottom lip and quickly lets it go, ‘I have … Vincenzo I’m p-‘ she cuts herself off and lets out a desperate sigh ‘I’ll come back when I know you did’ she explains, I nod my head slowly ‘Isabella I don’t know when I’ll remember you. I made a mistake for not believing you just … come back?’ I try again, what the fuck am I doing? When did I beg anyone to come back. I can’t explain it, but she’s got this hold, this… fuck she’s just perfect I want her.
‘I know and I’ll wait. Listen for now I think it’s safer if I stay where I am.’ She whispered out as if she didn’t want me to hear her, I nod my head ‘think about it?’ I asked. She smiled and nodded her head ‘I will’

I got my office cleaned up and watched Isabella stare at me, ‘You tore my singlet so … unless you want me to go out with a bra-‘ I put my hand up immediately silencing her ‘No! No that’s not happening’ I grab my blazer and help her put it on. Pulling her in closer I button it up, it looks massive on her, and it hides everything I want to be hidden. Also, will let the guy she spoke to know what happened in here. Smirking I nod my head approving, she looks down at the blazer then back up at me and smiles. ‘Thanks… I think he would’ve gotten the idea with a hickey but hey. Your blazer does the trick as well’ she laughs out.
‘I can do both’ I smiled pointing to her neck, her eyes went wide rushing to the mirror on the wall to see. ‘Oh fuck’ she hissed covering it with her hair. I stood behind her and moved her hair out of the way ‘be proud’ I winked.
‘Come on I’ll give you a ride back’ I offer she nodded her head, and we went out. Everyone looked towards us, I looked over at Isabella who was slightly uncomfortable with the men staring but was giving all the female workers a smug look. I smirked shaking my head I turned to my employees giving them all a stern look everyone quickly went about their business.
Isabella’s POV
Not knowing If Lorenzo was at the home or not, I told Vincenzo to just drop me off and go home before he could see or notice a car parked in the back.
I was grateful he listened to me because he was sticky and needed a shower, and so did it. I walked to the door with the biggest smile, seeing hope. Within a second I see Lorenzo and the guys pull up to the house, ‘Hey Isabella how it g-‘ Sebastián cuts himself off looking at the blazer I’m wearing. ‘I’d say she enjoyed herself’ Alex comments laughing. I roll my eyes and Lorenzo looks saying nothing ‘damn Chica first time you see my brother again and you fuck’ he laughs, I roll my eyes about to yell before I got a peak at the window of the house noticing something red I looked at Lorenzo ‘Did you close the window?’ I asked him.
‘Yeah, I closed and locked everything before we left’ I nodded my head towards the window and noticed he finally saw it as well. ‘Stay here’ he whispered. Sebastián, Alex and Lorenzo all got out of the car their guns out as they enter the house with caution.
I watched them go inside and scoop the place out, my hand over my belly. After a few minutes, they came back out laughing, ‘Someone left you a gift probably a thank you for earlier’ Lorenzo smirked. I eyed him walking inside he wouldn’t have had time… I rush into the living room and see hundreds of roses staring me in the face, almost every inch was covered.
FLASHBACK
I walked around the garden my gun firmly in my hand, I looked In front of me seeing him smiling at me. Admiring me as I held the gun ready to attack one of his business parents. I rolled my eyes and nudged my head to the side telling him to focus.
I did a hand signal to the men to surround him and the few men protecting him. They quickly got up and surrounded him along with his men, I stood up from the bush and ran towards the men. ‘Disarm them’ I shouted. They quickly took the guns from them and waited for my command. ‘What’s this Xavier looks like your own gang follows someone else’s orders’ he mocked. I rolled my eyes and shot him in the leg ‘don’t try to start something Will. I promise you It will only hurt you’
I nodded my head giving them the okay to shoot and kill his men. He watched horrified when all his men fell to the floor beneath him. ‘I wanted to be the head, but you made it very clear that it should be you’ Xavier mutters, I step back watching them. ‘You dishonoured me and made me seem like an incompetent coward infant of the families.’ He continued.
‘You mean the family that you killed? Her family! They were the head, you killed them to take her spot and now she is killing for you to take over’ He yelled. I looked up at him and aimed my gun towards his head ‘Watch. It.’ I spat ‘No, YOUR DAD WAS THE HEAD HE KILLED HIM AND NOW YOU ARE WORKING FOR HIM. He would be so ashamed.’
‘You’re right, he would be. I’m working for the boy who killed him, and what’s sad is I never got a chance to put a rose over his grave. Why don’t I make up for that now’ I clenched the gun in my hand and pulled the trigger emptying it in his head. I smiled I walked over towards his garden and pulled the roses from the ground. I slowly drop them above him. ‘Like a rose, you are covered in red, and like a rose that’s been pulled from its root. You are dead’ I smiled.
END OF FLASHBACK
I rushed to look for a note among the roses, grabbing every single rose and throwing it from the table. I grabbed and threw every single rose until I saw a note, ‘UGH!’ I yelled out frustrated. Finally, I saw a white paper hidden beneath the roses.
I gulped taking in a deep breath I grab it and read it out loud. ‘Like a rose, you are covered in red, and like a rose that’s been pulled from its root. You are dead but you my Dragon are not dead … not yet. Papa and Mama say hello’
‘He found me’ I whispered.
