CHAPTER 004
ISADORA’S POV
Isadora walked down the stairs after Rafael, making a soft tapping noise with her heels on the polished wood.
"What should we do first? "You can meet the supermodel, see the mansion, or hang out with me if you like." He smiled at me.
She answered, "I'm here for Renan," in a dull voice. I am not interested in anything else.
"Ouch. Cold."
Why should I care to know someone I'll never see again?
Why should it only be one night?
They stood on the last step. Rafael looked around, then pointed to a hallway.
"This way. I noticed him going into the kitchen.
"Him?" Isadora then asked as she followed.
Rafael didn't say anything but just smiled and walked ahead.
Isadora suddenly ran into another person. She saw a man who was wearing old-fashioned formal clothing and gloves.
She said, "Excuse me," as she tried to get by.
I think it is you. I have been sent to find it.
She took a step back to look at him. He seemed to come from a different time.
Are you sure you meant my husband?
He smiled a little. No, my lady, I am looking for you.
He pointed with his gloved hand. Let's go this way. I would be glad if you stayed with me for a little while."
Isadora hesitated, but she allowed herself to be guided outside to an oversized, empty patio.
A woman in a black dress and a man who looked just like her escort were already seated.
Are you the Mistress? The woman spoke, but her voice was cold.
Isadora said, "I am," and tried not to sit down.
The woman looked at the first man.
Be sure to watch the entrance. I want everything to be quiet."
He gave a brief nod and went off into the darkness.
Isadora felt her heart beating fast. Rafael had made her feel uncomfortable before, but this group was much worse.
Is there anything I can do for you?
We have come to see if you are the Mistress. The woman spoke in a questioning way as she looked at Isadora.
Isadora did not want to make a mistake, so she just nodded. "I am." She noticed her fingers were turning the ring around on her finger.
When did you get married, and why didn't we get an invitation? We are always invited to attend weddings.
"Weddings?" Isadora said without thinking and then regretted it.
The woman's lips turned into a wicked smile.
"Yes, weddings. Has your husband ever mentioned that he was married before? Numerous times?"
Isadora looked around quickly. She didn't know what to say.
Um," she said quietly.
A black kitten sitting near her feet whined, "Meow."
Isadora bent down and hugged the animal. The cat purred and snuggled up to her, and its eyes shone brightly.
"Meow."
"A feline." The woman trembled.
You will have to take that animal away from here, Mistress. We don't like cats. They are very unpleasant creatures. If you do not, we will be happy to get rid of it for you. However, I urge you not to enter that house. You might think of this as a way to avoid your problems.
The kitten ignored what Isadora said and started rubbing against her, purring loudly as if it was essential to it. Isadora held the animal close while the man beside the woman came closer. She was not going to let them harm such a special animal.
She wasn't confident about how Renan would feel about an animal being there, but she thought they needed it. It's all right, little one," she said softly as she touched its forehead with her finger.
I'll arrive later on. Please stay out of the way of everyone if you can. She opened the door and lowered herself to put the animal on the ground.
After looking up at her, the kitten mewed and then rubbed against her legs before running away.
"You can go back now that you have taken care of it," the man said. The pupils of his eyes were so dark that they looked black to her, especially when she saw them in the night sky.
Madam Benevides is already there.
Isadora sighed. She tried to slip away into the crowd, but these people were too aware for her to succeed.
She hoped that someone would realize she was missing and locate her. She wasn't sure about how much longer she could keep the strangers entertained.
Isadora forced a smile and went back to the woman, who was still smirking, and sat down.
I am grateful that you got rid of that animal near me. I have the strongest dislike for felines.
Isadora kept spinning her ring, and her leg began to bounce as she wore her lip. "Why?" she blurted.
Benevides looked surprised, as if Isadora had just said something obscene to her.
Did you ask me a question, Mistress? She demanded. She bent over the table, and her lips parted to show her strangely white teeth.
Isadora said, "I'm sorry," as she lowered her head and her chin touched her chest. I am sorry if I offended you. Could you tell me why you don't like cats?
The older woman said, "Felines are very dirty."
They are never to be trusted. Even though you are young, I am sure you will regret it one day for letting that animal into your home.
Is Mrs. Ribeiro hiding in this place? Asked in a sultry tone. I was very eager to meet the woman who had bagged Renan Ribeiro. She is known as a legend.
The stranger combed his long dark blue hair and gave a perfect smile.
"I did not give anyone else the right to come here," Benevides said with a snarl and a sigh.
We will talk again, Mistress. I have a lot of questions for you, and you haven't answered any of them yet. Please do not go too far from here. Canines are almost as troublesome as cats.
She shivered and, after nodding to the others, she left the room and went back to the party.
Isadora felt relieved when the doors closed after them. Thank you. I couldn't get your name, but you saved my life.
He gave me another perfect smile, and his teeth were bright and white. "You're welcome. My name is Caio. Caio Estrela." He smiled at her and waited to see what she would say.
She reached out her hand to him. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with you. I am Isadora Ribeiro. I am Renan's wife.
Caio was stunned, and he just stared at her. "Seriously? I don't think you've ever heard of me. He ran his fingers through his hair once more as he kept staring.
He repeated his name, Caio Estrela, if she hadn't caught it the first time. When she shook her head again and smiled apologetically, he did the same.
You don't know me at all? Have you ever looked at a billboard or something similar?"
Caio was annoyed, so he grabbed the bottom of his fancy shirt and pulled it up to show his perfect abs. Have you ever heard of these? "Should I also get into my underwear? He demanded.
Isadora wanted to cover her eyes, but it was too hard for her to do that.
She looked him straight in the eye instead. Whoever he was, this wasn't a typical person. She said, "I don't know you yet."
What is happening out here? They wanted to be heard.
Both Caio and Isadora looked at Rafael as he stared at them.
