"Why all of this?" Ethan asked again, his stare becoming too serious, and hence, Isabella saw it as if he meant his question. However, it didn't mean Isabella understood the question any better."Why all of what?" she asked again."Okay, I will put it to you directly. Why are you struggling so hard to be welcome here? You can't be welcome here, no matter how much you try," Ethan said coldly.As Ethan said this, there was a sudden pause between him and Isabella. Similarly, while Isabella was dishing the food onto the plates, she paused. It was a moment when silence became too loud. However, it did not last more than thirty seconds.Hence, Isabella took a deep sigh and crafted a smile at Ethan once again. Purposefully, she pretended not to have heard what Ethan said, and the next words she spoke were a change of subject."I was very careful in choosing this special treat for you. I want you to eat and enjoy. This food is healthy and very nourishing for your body."Ethan chuckled like a

The loud gunshot, like a thunderclap in the still night, was so deafening that Isabella knew she could be in trouble if she stayed. The sound had likely attracted the police and the press to the scene like moths drawn to a flame."Sh*t, f**king sh*t!" she exclaimed, then opened her car door, slipped inside, and sped away at a high speed."What did I just do? What the f**k did I just do?" she muttered, her words echoing like haunting whispers in the night."F**k!" she exclaimed again, scrathed one of her hands into her hair, and also, with the same strength, flung the pistol in her hand to the back seat of the car as she continued driving to the back of the car."I just f**king ruined everything. I just f**king ruined everything. F**k me!" She yelled loudly, and saliva sprayed from her mouth like a sudden rain of droplets."Who is that f**king woman he moved on with? Does he love her more than he used to love me?" She seethed, her jealousy burning like a wildfire in her heart.The fact

The next day came like a bolt from the blue, and Isabella was already prepared for the day. Unlike the other days, she went into the bathroom and checked the closet for a very nice dress that could lure Ethan Mark into her love trap. This time around, there was a difference, and the only similarity was Isabella going into the bathroom for a bath.Instead of a nice dress, she dressed in all black from head to toe, like a shadow in the night. In this vein, she wore a fitted black turtleneck, sleek black pants, and soft-soled black boots that made no sound as she moved. Hence, she used a black knit cap to conceal her hair, and she even donned black gloves to remain unnoticed in the darkness. "How do I look, Alexa?" Isabella asked suddenly as she checked herself out in the mirror."You look indeed prepared for this plan, Isabella, and I admire that. You've adorned yourself in an all-black turtleneck, pants, and boots that move in silence. However, the black gloves are unnecessary," Alexa

Regarding what she saw, the man was wearing a charcoal-gray suit that draped flawlessly over his tall frame, accentuating his commanding presence. The suit jacket featured a subtle pinstripe pattern, adding a touch of refinement to his ensemble. Under it, he sported a pristine white dress shirt, buttoned up to the collar and meticulously tucked into his trousers.Similarly, Isabella noticed that the man wore a deep burgundy tie, expertly knotted, providing a striking contrast to the monochromatic base. The tie was adorned with a subtle, intricate pattern that hinted at his attention to detail. His trousers were crisply creased, falling elegantly over polished black dress shoes that gleamed, reflecting the soft ambient light in the room.“Not a wrinkle or imperfection marred his appearance. This shows he is someone of importance, but why can't I see his face?” Isabella muttered suddenly.However, despite her muttering, there was no response from anywhere, not even from Alexa.So, she m

Rightly, as Ethan and Mr. Smith had left, Isabella saw how Emily had gone back into the house. But the fact that she did not soon come out of it was a lie. At that moment, Isabella saw how she slipped into her car, reversing out of her car park slowly like a gentle breeze rustling through the leaves. "She is heading out," Isabella said at once. "Where is she going?" she muttered again. "What should we do?" Isabella asked continuously. "Isabella, you can see clearly that Emily, the one who is now dating your ex-husband, held a basket in her hand before she slipped into her car. A car that Ethan Mark had just bought for her. Where do you think she is going?"Alexa asked like a teacher who was asking a child a tough question, never expecting her to know the answer to the question. But if Isabella knew, the response to that was a lie. Like a student who wracked her head for the answer to a question her teacher asked her and failed, Isabella wracked her head for the answer to Alexa's q
