As soon as Alexa's question reached Isabella's ear, she exhaled a heavy sigh, as if a multitude of worries burdened her mind and weighed on her. Consequently, after her sigh, she spoke, saying, "Now, I am ready."Alexa made a turn and drove slowly down Ethan Mark's street. To the great surprise of Isabella, she noticed two vans already parked at the gate of Ethan Mark's residence.One of the vans was sleek and black with silver accents, featuring the company's logo elegantly displaying a symbol of a suit on the sides, exuding a sense of sophistication.On the other hand, the Gourmet Delight Rover van was colorful and inviting, showcasing vibrant dishes, making it look both delicious and appealing.Upon seeing these two vans at the gate of Ethan Mark's home, Isabella also observed that no one had stepped out of either of them."Why are they not doing anything? Shouldn't they present the gifts to Ethan and let him know I sent them?" Isabella inquired."No, Isabella. That's not how it wo
Ethan was in the dressing room with Sartorial Elegance, his personal tailor, who had just brought him a new high-end suit, unveiling it like a craftsman presenting a priceless masterpiece."Master Mark, this suit is crafted from the rarest and most exquisite materials. The fabric is a blend of pure Vicuña wool and silk, with a lining made from alpaca fur. These materials cannot be found anywhere in the country, and they are exceptionally expensive, ensuring that your suit is truly one of a kind.""Is that so, Mr. Sartorial Elegance?" Ethan asked, a faint smile gracing his cheeks."Of course, Master Mark. I am your personal tailor, and besides, I am the most expensive fashion designer in the whole country. I cannot provide you with anything less than exquisite materials," Sartorial Elegance proudly explained.In no time, as Ethan was being dressed in his new suit, Mr. Smith entered the room and respectfully bowed to Ethan. Ethan understood that Mr. Smith had important information to co
"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
If nothing made sense to Isabella, it was not the last few words of Ethan. At this moment, her eyes first widened in maximum surprise. Nevertheless, as if she hadn't heard him the first time, she wanted him to repeat what he had just said, like a deer caught in headlights. Her curiosity piqued."What did you say?" Isabella asked."What? Are you deaf now? You couldn't hear me all along." Ethan said, his voice calm yet painful, like a sharp dagger cutting through the silence of the night."I just want to make sure I hear the last few words," Isabella said once more."Move on, Isabella. I already did," Ethan declared once again.She widened her cheeks in the most delicate way that showed her fake smile so obviously, and with this smile, she made a chuckling sound.She paced to and fro around the table, and afterwards, she placed her hands on the table."You did what, Ethan?" she asked again, as if she could not seem to comprehend what Ethan had said before."You dare not, Ethan! You **in
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
Arriving back in her hotel room, Isabella's face remained as rigid as a stone-carved mask. Her eyes were reddish, like smoldering embers in the dark, and her breathing was loud and hard, resembling a distant thunderstorm approaching."How dare he?" She muttered, pacing up and down in her hotel room, her hand to her jaw like a sculptor contemplating a stubborn piece of stone, chiseling away at her thoughts."How can he move on so soon? Am I just a piece of garbage to him?" Her voice grew louder than before, matching the volume of her thoughts."Alexa!" she called suddenly, and a chime sounded from her handbag. Plunging her hand into her fancy handbag, she retrieved her phone and placed it on the table like a magician unveiling a prized rabbit from a velvet hat."Yes, Isabella. How can I help you?" Alexa asked as if she had no idea about all that happened to Isabella at Ethan Mark's gate driveway."How can you help me? How dare you ask me such a question?" Isabella yelled like thunder,
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
"You are right, Isabella. The house you are staring at rightly belongs to Emily Collins, and there are two luxurious cars in her driveway. One is a sleek Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a symbol of elegance and sophistication, with a starting price of around $90,000. The other is a stunning Rolls-Royce Phantom, radiating opulence and luxury, with a significantly higher price tag, typically exceeding $700,000. These cars are a testament to affluence and wealth. However, with Emily's earnings, she cannot afford the Rolls-Royce Phantom for herself," Alexa said. "Exactly, that's what I'm saying. Who do you think owns that car, Alexa? Can you find information about it?" "Certainly, Isabella, I can look up her purchase history and see if she owns the car for herself or if the car belongs to someone else," Alexa said, and immediately, a chime sound occurred. In less than ten seconds, Alexa's voice spoke again. "I looked up her purchase history for the past four years, and there is no record of her
