Isabella's POV
And just like a movie, I found myself married to Angelo. I still haven't completely wrapped my mind around it.
I know I'm partly responsible for the mess he found himself but taking advantage of Jerry's condition pissed me off.
I met Ma'am Martina, she's such a sweet soul, Alex has taken me as his sister, painting with me and even playing the piano for me, I didn't know he sang too.
I also officially met Angry Bird's b***h, Emma. She is such a haughty, slimy b***h. The way she's always all over Angelo even when it's obvious that she was nothing more than a tool got me disgusted.
" Good morning Nana. " I greeted as I hugged Ma'am Martina.
" Oh, my baby. How was your night? "
" Fine Nana " I smiled picking up a slice of the sandwiches she was making.
" I'd be traveling tomorrow " Nana announced at the dining room.
This is bad, this is bad. Angelo won't take it easy on me when Nana leaves and Alex is not usually home.
Was I right?
The next morning after Nana had left, Angelo asked all the staff to go on a long break for no reason!
" Ever since I got here, you've been tormenting me. But I never actually thought you'd be this petty! "
He glared at me and rolled his eyes.
"At least you have one maid who stuck by you, stop whining and be grateful and go clean my room, Emma will be stopping by tonight! "
I had nothing to say or do because I was helpless. If I got him angry and he decided to ask for a refund of his loan, I and my family would never be able to pay.
The next morning, I went to clean up Angelo's room as usual.
When I got into the room, there was no one there. I began to mop the floor when I suddenly felt strong hands around my waist.
" You woke up so early " he muttered, his breath fanning my ears, my breath becoming heavier.
He began to trace his hands against my skin gently lifted my top an inch above and started playing with my navel.
I moaned gently, too scared to speak. This felt nice, so nice.
" Let's have a quickie " he muttered, planting kisses on my neck and biting very softly. I could feel my n*****s hardening, I wanted this!
I slowly turned to face him, standing on tiptoe, I kissed him softly on the cheek, then the neck, and finally his lips.
His hands roamed around my skin, setting everywhere it touched on fire. I knew I would regret this but I couldn't stop…
The door was flung open and the dark room sparkled with light as the switch was turned on.
" How dare you try to seduce him?" Emma yelled dragging me from Angelo and landing a hard, cold slap on my face.
I bit my lips, staring at my feet, my eyes filled with tears.
" Have you forgotten that you are a charity case? The only reason you're here is because of the money, you're more or less a maid… "
" Emma… " Angelo called and she kept quiet.
The tears in my eyes seemed to evaporate. He was standing up for me, his wife!
" Get out! Wait… And just so you know, Emma is right. You're nothing but a charity case so make sure you know your place. "
For the first time in my life, I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. I walked out of the room and vowed to myself to hate both of them for the rest of my life.
While I cried over their insults, they made out, their moans and screams filling the air.
This was the height of disrespect!
I made a call to Vera and complained to her about everything that happened. She told me of the perfect revenge for them.
I downloaded a dating app and I immediately got paired with someone called Leo De Castro.
I immediately started talking to him and in the next few days, we became friends. He was warm, calm, and very good-natured.
We went out on a couple of dates and became close. He'd listen whenever I needed to talk, he was supportive and extremely nice.
One morning in the office, Mr Roberto told me about a chance to repay the loan.
" If this contract works out, we'd get 10 billion euros and you'd be able to pay your loan. "
I decided to sneak in and get Angelo's signature for the deal. Sir Roberto said it would be a surprise.
" What are you doing? " Emma yelled as she stepped into the study.
" Why are you in here and why are you ransacking the place? "
Before I could explain, she had informed Angelo who in turn ordered me to narrate everything that happened between me and Sir Roberto.
I was beyond shocked when Sir Roberto denied ever having such a conversation with me.
" You f*****g gold digger, you cheating bastard, you wanted to steal from me despite all I've done for your wretched family? "
" I didn't do anything and I'm telling the truth! " I screamed.
" You know what… you disgust me", Angelo yelled before storming out.
Emma rained insults on me, so much so that I broke down right in front of her. The pain of being insulted and humiliated by your enemies was overwhelming.
I wish Vera was here with me, she'd have torn them both to shreds.
I decided that it would be best for everyone if I left the mansion.
I packed a little of my stuff in my backpack and left the mansion. As I walked along the road, tears staining my eyes, I knew things would be different if Alex was home.
" You f*****g gold digger, you cheating bastard, you wanted to steal from me despite all I've done for your wretched family? "
The words kept playing and replaying in my head.
Suddenly a bright light shone on my face, the blaring of the truck screaming as the truck inched closer.
I could see death face-to-face.
" Noooooooo!!! "
