`Prologue`
ISABELLA
I just came back from school trip. We went to Hamptons this year. We stayed at the row house, it was great.
It's 8: 45 p. m. right now. My Grandma went to my Aunt in the Suburbs. I'm really excited to see Mom and Dad. I also want to apologize to Daddy for arguing with him before leaving for trip. I don't want to do what he wants me to. I mean, who wants their own child to die? I don't want to kill people or die, I want to do Modeling. Like Gigi Hadid or Kendall Jenner or Hailey Bieber. But Daddy doesn't want that.
I sigh. As soon as the school bus stops in front of my home, I wave everyone bye and walk into the house. All the lights were off as I looked from the courtyard, are my parents even home? I could only see dad's study room's lights on. It's late though, almost 9 p.m.
I unlock the door and walk in, "Mommy? Daddy? Where are you?" I call out. It is really feeling creepy.
I hear a muffled scream from his study. I walk down there. Is there an intruder? I grab the vase from the table beside the door. I slowly open the door ajar and find some men in masks and black clothes standing. My mom tied up to the table's legs and Dad in chains standing and someone holding him. I gasp. I need to call someone.
I walk back to the living room and call Uncle William.
" Isabella honey? Is everything alright?" He picks up.
" No. There are some people here. All in Black masks and clothes. Mom and Dad are in Danger." I whisper.
" s**t! Don't worry. I'll be there in 5. Just get out of the house without making any noise if you can." He hung the call up then.
I try to walk back to the front door without making any noise. But suddenly someone grabs me by my hair and pulls me back.
" Where are you going b***h? Boss, I found a girl. " A cranky voice said.
" No! Let us go. Please. " I squirm and try to get away from him. He drags me to Dad's study and throws me near mom. I hit my head to the table.
" Oh, no! Baby Cakes, what are you doing here?" Daddy shouts and a guy hits his face.
" Shut up and tell us where is the pen drive or we will kill your daughter. Limp by limp. " The guy said. I hiss as I feel pain in my head. " Are you okay Baby?" Mom asks and I nod. My mom is almost four weeks pregnant.
" Don't worry, we will be okay Mom. I called Uncle William. He will be here any moment. Just don't move too much, it's not good for the baby. " I whisper to her and she smiles sadly.
" Good, baby." She praised.
" Eh, stop. Don't talk." A guy yelled at us and turns back to Daddy. " Tell us where is it?" He hits daddy again.
" Don't hit him please." I yell.
" Oh, your daughter is a piece of meat. She is feisty. How good she might be in bed. She has pretty big breasts for her age. Let's have some fun, sweetheart. " The guy around 30, I guess, He says licking his lips and eyeing me with lust.
" No, not her please. It's in the drawer. My table the last one. The key is beneath the lamp." Dad pleased. The guy chuckles and walks towards the table behind me and mom. I could hear distant sirens ringing.
" What the hell? Who called police? Did you slut?" The same guy who hit Daddy asked me. He came near me and I got up.
" Don't get near me." I hiss. Dude, my dad and mom has been training me ever since I was 9. I know how to guess the opponent' s next move. I know how to fight.
He walks towards me and attempts to punch me but I duck down and kick him in his balls. Daddy taught me this trick. It hurts the opponent the most and takes time to recover. Many other guys hop in front of me and I start to defend and hit and punch and kick them the same way, or twisting their hands and hitting their heads with my knees and kicking their faces.
My Daddy frees himself up and takes place near me hitting a guy. " Untie mom." He orders and I obliged.
I untie mom and she rubs her swollen belly and whispers to my unborn sibling that we are safe now. I look at Dad to see him chocking a guy. A man in black cap and mask with a gold chain in his neck, I guess he is the leader, he takes out a gun.
" Too bad, Russo. Who should I kill huh? Your wife?... No, your daughter will do it. " I hear the sirens getting close.
I just hope that they get here soon. The gun goes off and a bullet flies from it towards me. " No..." Daddy shouts and runs towards me. I am taken aback by the bullet fired. Mom pulls me to a side but Daddy is already in front of me and the bullet hits him. In his abdomen. Another bullet is fired and it is by my mom. It hits the guy and he dies.
I run to Daddy and take his head in my lap. " Daddy. It's okay." I mutter as he breaths heavy. I apply pressure on his wound.
" It's okay Baby Cakes. I'm fine. Protect mom."
" I can't leave you like this Daddy. " I protest.
I hear a scream from Mom and I look around to see her chest and head bleeding. " Mom! " I screamed. Mom just fell down on the floor a few steps away from us. Cops enter the house and killed a few men and arrested the alive ones.
" I love you Baby Cakes. Take care of yourself." He whispers and closes his eyes.
" No! Daddy? No, don't leave me. Mom! Don't leave me. " I scream as the both of them breath heavy. I feel his pulse slowing down. Soon he stops breathing and I gasp.
I shake his body, " Daddy. Get up please. Don't leave me. Please dad." I sob. I look at mom to see her eyes closed too.
I go over to her and shake her.
" Mommy, wake up please. Please. Please don't leave me. Please." I was pulling away from her body and a guy threw me to the wall. I hit my head and fell down with a thud. Tears were running down my face and blood was oozing out too. Pain that was throbbing in my head was nothing compared to the pain I am feeling for my parents.
My head was yanked with a harsh pull on my hair. " You b***h! I'm going to kill you! " A man with black attire and mask growled. He grabbed my throat and squeezed it tightly. I pulled on his hand to free me but couldn't. Black spots started to invade my vision. And air was leaving leaving my body. I was not able to breathe as the man was squeezing my neck. I used my hands and legs to free myself but it was of no use. I was about to faint but the man was pulling away and I started gasped for air, but still fainted.

There were moments in my past that came, dragged out in my present. My past demons came in my present and ruined my future.
It's a damn pity that my life is nothing but lies, sorrow, unhappy and lonely. I loved him with all my heart just for him to crush it down and leave me? Every person I loved left me, first my parents, my best friend, my grandma, and now Enzo. I clearly remember the day I first met him. It was my 3rd day at Columbia. And ...
Well I think I should forget about him and start my life again just as I did when Mom and Dad left me. I'm going of back to my Aunt and never looking back at my past in New York. This place holds nothing but bad memories. Of him, my parents, my grandma. I'm glad I didn't tell him that big secret in or I should say of my life. I still can't believe that after all the time he didn't love me? Why? May be Sia is right I'm not beautiful nor the term they say Sexy as her. And then who will love me? I am an orphan, brown hair and eyes, not Skinny like those Victoria Secret models. And every person warned me about him, me being me thought we would be happy and in love.
But may be my fate was something else... Just pain and forever loneliness.
Sometimes I feel suffocating being alone in this world. I've got no one.
My own parents were murdered in front of my eyes, and I couldn't do anything to save them.
I get nightmares every night about that night. Watching my parents getting killed in front of my eyes repeatedly plays everyday in my dreams.
He was the only one who helped me sleep peacefully, without my nightmares.
He was my knight in shining armour.
But that knight of mine, betrayed me and declined my love. Why is love always so painful? Why can't I have happiness and love in my life like others do? Why can't I have a normal life? Why?
I guess I gotta start over again and this time I am focusing on myself not anyone. But will I be able to? Right now I am getting my ownership agreement for the house my Aunt found for me.
You must be wondering what happened? Let me tell you a story in which a Girl loves a Boy but was never able to have him in her life. I also have a long flight ahead.
I always think if I am always gonna be alone? That alone orphan no one loves?
This is mine and his story. The story in which he Broke my Heart. And that is my broken heart because of his . . . Broken Lies
