ISABELLA —-
Enzo's words hung in the air, his voice dripping with determination. The thought of him buying the whole company just so I could take a break seemed excessive and unnecessary, but it also showcased his power and wealth.
I looked at him, his eyes burning with intensity, and couldn't help but feel a mixture of frustration and admiration. He was stubborn, relentless in his pursuit to keep me safe, even if it meant going to extreme lengths.
"Enzo, you can't just buy a whole company because of me," I protested, my voice laced with disbelief. "It's too much."
He moved even closer to me, his breath warm against my ear. "Isabella, I will do whatever it takes to ensure your safety. Money is not an issue for me. I just want you and Sofia to be protected."
I sighed, feeling torn between my desire to continue working and Enzo's unwavering determination to protect me. I knew deep down that he was right, that my life was in danger and that I needed to take a step back. But it was difficult for me to let go of my independence and the career I had worked so hard for.
"Enzo, I appreciate your concern, I really do," I said, my voice filled with gratitude. "But I can't just stop working completely. I need to find a balance, a way to stay safe while still doing what I love."
He looked at me, his gaze softening slightly. "I understand, Isabella. I just don't want anything to happen to you. Promise me that you'll be careful, that you'll take every precaution necessary."
I nodded, my heart warming at the concern in his eyes. "I promise, Enzo. I'll be careful and I'll take every precaution. But please understand that I need to continue working, even if it's on a limited basis."
He sighed, seemingly coming to terms with my decision. "Alright, Isabella. But promise me that you'll always prioritize your safety and Sofia's safety above anything else."
"I promise," I replied, my voice filled with determination. "I won't take any unnecessary risks, I'll always put our safety first."
Enzo's gaze softened, and he reached out to gently caress my cheek. "Thank you, Isabella. You have no idea how much it means to me that you're willing to compromise."
I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. It was in these moments, when Enzo showed his vulnerability and genuine concern for me, that I couldn't help but fall even more deeply for him.
But he clearly doesn't feel the same or anything or that sort.
"Can I go to sleep now?" I asked him making him laugh out.
" You must really be sleepy if you can't just spare one minute of your time for both of us to discuss." Enzo joked going back to his sofa.
"Okay, I can stay if only you would talk about the incident that just happened." I said to him folding my hands.
"Uhh, good night to you then." He said nervously making me smile as I walked away.
"Good night, Mr Enzo." I said to him sarcastically before walking away. I don't even know how things ended up this way but I had Enzo to thank for that, he made me forget about all my worries. And mostly about Sofia's father where ever he is I gave never been this happy about anything but the fact that Enzo was ready to reach any extent in life for Sofia and even though I had no better way to take pay him back but I hope he would feel my appreciation for him even though I can't show it to him in action like he always does to me and Sofia and mostly today.
ENZO —-
Last night was tough but I enjoyed the little intimate session between us. I don't know what was suddenly getting into me but I was feeling so attached to her and no matter how hard I tried I just can't stay away from her, she seems to be pulling me in the more I try to stay away .
" Do I love her?" I questioned myself while laying flat on my bed staring at the ceiling.
" It's definitely lust, I haven't been close to any woman since I met Sofia that must be the reason why I feel this way towards her, she is a woman and it's normal to be attracted to a woman's body.
After thinking all night about what exactly I felt for Isabella I drifted to sleep and was awoken the next morning by a maid.
" Why are you here?" I asked sitting up from my bed.
" Your fiancee is here." The maid said, WTF how can aurora just come here unexpectedly.
" And who said she is my finacee?" I asked the maid who looked scared.
" That was how she sent her words to me she strictly told me that I shouldn't dare call her by her name." The maid said making me scoff.
"you can leave, how did she find my house so quickly, Isabella or Sofia mustn't see her here, I haven't even accepted her father's plea to marry her and she is already claiming position in my life, this is just so frustrating what would I do now. I would definitely not hide Isabella because she is smarter than this and aurora won't want to leave easily because the only reason why she would be here is to spend most of the day here and I can't make excuses of going to the office because it's weekend already , I can't believe I have to deal with aurora all my life if I need up marrying her.

Enzo rushed out of his room, his mind racing with thoughts of how to handle the unexpected arrival of his fiancée, Aurora. He knew that he needed to inform Isabella and ensure that Sofia was kept indoors until Aurora left. He couldn't risk any confrontations or complications arising from their encounter.
He found Isabella in the living room, playing with Sofia. A small smile tugged at his lips as he watched the two of them, a picture of maternal happiness. But his smile quickly faded as he remembered the situation at hand.
"Isabella," he called out, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible. "Aurora is here."
Isabella's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly turned her attention towards Enzo. "Aurora? What is she doing here? How did she even find this place?"
Enzo sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I don't know how she found out, but I need you to keep Sofia indoors until she leaves. I don't want any unnecessary confrontations or complications."
Isabella hesitated for a moment, her expression conflicted. She clearly didn't like the idea of hiding Sofia, but she understood the importance of keeping the peace. With a heavy sigh, she reluctantly agreed.
"Alright, Enzo. I'll keep Sofia indoors, but I hope this doesn't become a regular occurrence. She deserves to experience the world outside."
Enzo nodded, grateful for Isabella's understanding. He knew that it wasn't fair to keep Sofia hidden away, but for now, it was the safest option.
"I know, Isabella. I promise you, once this situation is resolved, I'll make sure Sofia can experience the world and live a normal life. But for now, we need to prioritize her safety."
Isabella looked at Enzo, her gaze softening. "I trust you, Enzo. I know you will do everything in your power to keep us safe. Just don't forget that Sofia deserves a life filled with love and happiness."
Enzo nodded, his heart filled with a mix of gratitude and determination. He would do whatever it took to ensure that Sofia had a life filled with love and happiness, free from the dangers that had plagued his own life.
"I won't forget, Isabella," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "I will do everything in my power to give Sofia the life she deserves, and to protect both of you."
Enzo —-
I rushed out to the sitting room where aurora was going through all my paintings she slowly touches my painting and it was just then I noticed the maids behind her with cleaning towels in their hands I decide to keep silent for a few minutes and she what she wanted them to do.
"How can you leave my fiance paintings this dusty, what dies he pay you for!!!" She yelled in annoyance as they tremble rushing towards my painting about to clean it when she harshly raised her hands up about to hit my maids.
"Aurora, you won't dare!!!" I yelled making her tremble at my voice and the maids almost stagger to the ground in fright.
"You all should leave I would like to have a few words with AURORA." I said to the maids intentionally calling her name with so much fierce.
"His fiancee." She whispered to herself as they all ran away from the scene.
"Why are you here, how do you get to always find all my address? Are you stalking me?" I asked with my hands on my waist in frustration.
"I just want to be by your side at all time." She whispered trying to act cute, making me even more angry nothing about her was cute in anyway.
Authors POV
Enzo looked at Aurora, his frustration mounting with each passing second. He couldn't understand how she seemed to believe that she had the right to invade his personal space and act as if she were already his fiancée. He took a deep breath, trying to keep his temper in check.
"Aurora, let me make this very clear," he said, his voice firm and unwavering. "I have not accepted your proposal. I have not given you any indication that I want to be with you. So, I would appreciate it if you would stop acting as if you have any sort of claim over me or my belongings."
Aurora's eyes widened in shock, her mouth opening and closing as she tried to find the words to respond. Enzo continued before she could say anything.
"I understand that I am helping your father and your father has been my friends for awhile now, but that does not mean I am obligated to marry you. I have my own life, my own choices to make," he said, his tone filled with determination. "And right now, the choice I am making is to not marry you."
Aurora's face turned red with anger, and she clenched her fists in frustration. "How dare you reject me? Do you know who I am? My family will not stand for this."
Enzo's gaze hardened, his own anger rising to the surface. "I don't care who you or your family think you are. My decision is final. I will not be forced into a marriage I do not want. So, I suggest you leave and never come back."
Aurora glared at him, her eyes narrow with rage. "You will regret this, Enzo. I will make sure of it."
Enzo didn't respond to her threats. He simply turned around and walked away, leaving Aurora standing there in seething anger. He knew that this wouldn't be the end of the matter, that there would be consequences for his decision. But he didn't care. He couldn't let anyone dictate his life, especially someone like Aurora who only sought to control and dominate.
"Enzo, I am sorry for what I said to you!!" She exclaimed, making me stop in my tracks.
"We will discuss this further when I come to see your father." I said.
"Please do not do this". She pleaded.
