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

    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

    For more than an hour, Isabella waited in her car without the microscope in her eyes, akin to a patient predator stalking its unsuspecting prey, anticipating the perfect moment when Ethan would leave his new girlfriend's house. However, this didn't mean that Isabella was waiting to confront him. She was simply observing the woman, as Alexa and she had planned, similar to a silent observer in the shadows, gathering crucial information before making a move. "Are you sure you're in the right mental state to proceed with this plan? We can always come back tomorrow and" "No, I'm fine," Isabella interrupted Alexa suddenly, like a resolute soldier dismissing any doubt about her readiness for the mission. "After all, I don't really love him. I just want to use him, divorce him, and get half of his wealth," Isabella continued immediately, her words cutting through the air like a sharp blade, revealing her cold determination. "On the contrary, I think you do love him. If you can't bear to se

    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

    Tailing her quietly and at a short distance like a shadow, Emily arrived at Ethan Mark's gate, and as a result, Isabella saw how each security guard at the gate bowed to Emily and allowed her to drive in without any form of delay or questioning.This event conveyed a message to Isabella: "This is not her first time coming here. How come I never found out?" In the same way, Alexa confirmed Isabella's words at this moment by saying, "You are certainly right, Isabella. This is not the first time Emily has been here, and none of us knew about it.""If you like, I can help you get information on the exact moment when Ethan and Emily started dating. Perhaps it will be useful for something?" Alexa suggested. Rightly so, Isabella replied, "Yes, do that, Alexa. I really want to know when these two began to see each other."With Isabella's approval to collect information, Alexa's chime sounded immediately, like a second hand counting continuously.

    The first thing Isabella noticed was Emily's fancy car parked beside one of Ethan's cars closer to the gate. She took a heavy breath, followed by a smirk, akin to an envious cat. "Let's see if you can still drive into this mansion in a few days," she muttered, then continued to walk towards Ethan's mansion entrance. As she entered the mansion, the first thing she perceived was the delicious aroma wafting into her nostrils, like a siren's call. This sweet aroma reminded her of the childhood summers she spent at her grandmother's place. "This is a freshly baked apple pie," Isabella thought. "A specialty my grandmother prepared with a secret blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and love," she thought again. "How come it smells exactly the same?" she asked herself in a silent whisper, almost as if she were revisiting a cherished memory from long ago. If that was all, it was a lie. The kitchen Emily cooked in was a spacious, inviting space with warm, earthy tones that created a cozy atmosphere.

From exactly 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Isabella knew Emily would meet with clients, discuss design projects, and visit project sites. She would work on design concepts, create mood boards, plan interior layouts, and communicate with her design team and contractors.From 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm, Isabella also knew Emily would continue working on design projects if needed, attend design-related events, or network with industry professionals.

No matter how her voice had risen in anger towards her mother in the meeting room, she knew very well that she wanted to read the contents of the letter in the envelope and discover the help Ethan Mark had promised her. "Would he file for my release?" "Has he bought me a home as a sign of my forgiveness?" "Would he take me back as his wife?" Different questions rushed through her mind like a tumultuous river, each query cascading over the other. As she held the envelope in her hand, she sat at the corner of her cell and stared at it much more closely. In this way, she saw that the surface of the envelope bore a faint trace of handling, like a blank canvas marked only by the weight of the untold. She also observed the edges, crisp

She also noticed her dress, which was as beautiful as a field of blooming flowers, each petal a vibrant hue, creating a tapestry of elegance. Likewise, her neck, ears, and wrists were adorned with jewelry, resembling constellations adorning the night sky, each piece a sparkling star in the galaxy of her elegance.Taking in this perfect image of her mother, the thought immediately struck Isabella that her mother's current appearance was the complete inverse of hers—a mess in a uniform and in a confined space, akin to a wildflower struggling to bloom in a cramped garden bed."Been a while," Victoria Sinclair said again, immediately as Is

    Ethan said nothing in response to Mr. Alexander's words. Instead, as if he hadn't heard him, he seized a seat on the other side of the table and crossed his left leg over his right.Yet, this did not mean he spoke at this moment. The only sound was the rhythmic tapping of his fingers on the table, as if he were playing an invisible piano.In this manner, Ethan Mark exuded authority. Gazing calmly from Mr. Alexander's feet to the tangled mess of hair atop his head, he looked at him. With a serenity akin to the gentle flow of the Nile and a voice as soft as a satisfied dove contemplating a defeated jungle lion, he suddenly spoke."Kneel and apologize."Upon hearing these words, Mr. Alexander's eyes widened in shock.

"I have to run," he muttered in total fright, his voice a tremor in the echoing silence, like a desperate whisper carried away by the chilling wind of impending danger. However, if his intention was for success, it was a futile hope. "And where do you think you are running to, huh?" Another prisoner said this behind him and pushed him forward like a pawn on the unforgiving chessboard of the prison's power dynamics.

He began to unravel his own narrative, detailing how his legs became amputated and one of his hands irreparably broken and dislocated."You see, I entered this prison as a healthy man. My crimes weren't that significant. I robbed a bank because I couldn't bear to watch my daughter suffer. We hadn't eaten for days, and robbing the bank seemed like my only option." He took a deep sigh and continued talking."Yes, you guessed right. The mission was unsuccessful, and before I knew it, I was completely surrounded by the police. I had no guns, only a knife and a dagger. I never headed to the vault but collected pieces from each person I encountered in the bank. I just wanted to be able to feed my daughter and move on with life the next day.""While being surrounded, there was nothing more I could do than raise my hands in the air and let the police apprehend me.
