revenge on someone William clenched his jaw Isabella was reading him like an open book and he didn't like it and if I am she Shrugged does it matter to me as long as I get paid William smiled he liked her attitude but he still wanted to understand who this woman was someone who accepted everything so easily minutes later the car stopped in front of an elegant Building a renowned beauty salon Isabella stepped out without question and followed William inside the place smelled of expensive products and a team of stylists rushed to assist them the moment

he entered I want a complete trans formation William ordered hair makeup clothes everything the staff nodded and within seconds Isabella was seated in a styling chair if you want to change your mind Now's the Time she said as a hairdresser began untangling her Hair change my mind about me I guess I was expecting someone more impressionable William crossed his arms are you not impressed by anything not by this Isabella closed her eyes as the hairdresser started washing her hair I've been in this world before William frowned but before he could ask anything The Stylist pulled

him toward the waiting area Mr Lancaster would you let us work he glanced at Isabella one last time and left intrigued the hours Dragged on when the stylist finally called his name William stood up and walked back to the salon when he saw her he held his breath the woman standing before him didn't look like the same person he had met sitting on the curb her once mess hair now fell in smooth shiny waves her face previously dirty and marked with exhaustion was now Flawless Her Eyes accentuated by sophisticated makeup the fitted dress flattered her

figure and the high heels Made her look even more confident but what surprised him the most was her expression she didn't seem shocked or impressed by her transformation she simply looked at herself in the mirror observing as if she had seen herself like this before what is it she turned to him catching his curious gaze you don't look surprised Isabella smiled a mysterious glint in her eyes because I'm not William crossed his arms who are you Isabella she grabbed the purse The Stylist handed her and walked toward him someone who knows how to seize good

opportunities when they come the car glided smoothly down the illuminated Road toward the event William had been avoiding but was now eager to attend beside him Isabella observed the landscape with an almost irritating calm he had expected her to show some anxiety or nervousness at some point but since leaving the salon her composure remained Flawless as if she were already familiar With that world you're very quiet William commented glancing away from the road to look at her I'm just enjoying the silence Isabella replied with a faint smile he frowned most people in your situation would

be dazzled by all this she laughed Softly maybe I'm not like most people William realized that pressing her further wouldn't get him anywhere there was something about her that intrigued him but he wouldn't get answers so easily the car finally Stopped in front of the luxurious Banquet Hall where hundreds of elite guests had already gathered outside couples stepped out of limousines and sports cars showing off their jewelry and designer dresses photographers and journalists covered the event ensuring every detail of the wedding was documented for the society Pages William got out first adjusting his suit naturally

then he extended his hand to Isabella who accepted without hesitation When she stepped out of the car the immediate impact was undeniable All Eyes turned to her women whispered among themselves trying to figure out who the mysterious woman accompanying William Lancaster was men watched her with interest Isabella however didn't Flinch with impeccable Poise she lifted her chin and smiled discreetly as if she were already used to being the center of attention William guided her down the red carpet toward the entrance of the Hall as they walked Isabella maintained a Serene expression showing no surprise at

the luxurious surroundings Follow My Lead William whispered be polite smile and don't draw unnecessary attention she raised an eyebrow did you bring me here to make your ex jealous or to be invisible William pressed his lips together not answering that's what I thought Isabella said with Amusement they passed through the double doors and entered the grand hall T where crystal Chandeliers sparkled under Golden Light the room was filled with high society figures dressed in their finest attire it didn't take long for Olivia and her fiance to come into Williams line of sight Olivia looked stunning

in an elegant white dress her smile perfectly crafted to charm everyone Charles Montrose her future husband was exactly the type her family would approve of wealthy traditional and predictable Olivia's eyes met Williams for a brief Second she seemed surprised to see him there but then her gaze landed on Isabella and froze Olivia's expression changed subtly as if trying to figure out who this dazzling woman next to her ex-fiance was with a calculated smile William LED Isabella directly toward them Olivia he greeted her with a polite yet cold tone she blinked a few times before forcing

a smile William what a surprise I didn't expect you to come of course I came he looked At Isabella and I brought company Olivia examined Isabella from head to toe we haven't been introduced you are before William could respond Isabella extended her hand naturally Isabella a pleasure to meet you her voice was firm elegant her posture was Flawless and her smile showed no sign of submission Olivia hesitated before shaking her hand clearly uncomfortable you look familiar Olivia remarked Isabella smiled tilting her head slightly do I Olivia forced Another smile but William noticed the tension in

her eyes she was unsettled exactly as he wanted Charles cleared his throat trying to break the awkward atmosphere shall we toast he raised his champagne glass William nodded but before he could turn Isabella gave a polite smile and said something that caught everyone off guard I hope you'll be very happy marriage is a serious commitment I was once engaged myself William froze Olivia and Charles Exchanged glances really Olivia asked forcing a casual tone Isabella nodded taking a sip of champagne but it didn't work out my fiance decided I wasn't the right choice for his family

William felt a chill run through him she was sending a clear message and Olivia caught it his ex- fiance's eyes narrowed slightly that's an interesting coincidence Isabella smiled I think so two an uncomfortable silence filled the air William could tell Olivia was struggling To keep her composure finally Isabella lightly touched Williams arm would you like to dance he blinked surprised dance yes or would you rather stay here and watch your ex fiance try to figure out where she knows me from William chuckled softly he liked the game Isabella was playing Let's Dance they walked away

leaving Olivia behind visibly Disturbed as they glided across the dance floor to the orchestra's melody William looked Straight into Isabella's eyes you did that on purpose she smiled didn't I tell you I've been in this world before William felt a mix of irritation and admiration Isabella wasn't just a homeless woman he had found on the street she knew exactly what she was doing the music flowed smoothly through the ballroom as William and Isabella moved across the Dance Floor his gaze remained locked on hers trying to figure her out Isabella and maintained Flawless Composure her lips

curved into a mysterious Smile as if she knew exactly what she was doing you keep surprising me William murmured leading her with Precision is that a good thing or a bad thing Isabella arched an eyebrow I haven't decided yet she laughed softly her eyes sparkling with Amusement I think you've already realized that I'm not exactly what I seem I've realized that you know much more about this world than you should Isabella tilted her head Slightly let's just say I've been surrounded by people like this before before William could ask more a group of businessmen approached

holding champagne glasses and offering Friendly Smiles they were investors and magnates William knew well Lancaster one of them said shaking Williams hand you finally decided to show up at a social event William returned a firm handshake I thought it would be interesting to celebrate the Couple the businessman's attention quickly shifted to Isabella studying her with interest and who is your lovely companion before William could respond Isabella stepped forward and extended her hand naturally Isabella a pleasure to meet you she spoke with such natural confidence that none of the businessmen questioned her presence Isabella one of

them repeated studying her your face looks familiar Isabella smiled keeping the mystery alive perhaps we've met at An event before the businessman nodded thoughtfully but didn't press further William watched her closely Isabella was blending in far too easily and what do you do Isabella another businessman asked intrigued she picked up a champagne glass from a passing waiter swirling the liquid before answering I enjoy observing the financial Market the rise in technology Investments has been quite interesting lately especially the new startups focused on artificial Intelligence there was a brief silence William almost laughed at the surprised

Expressions on the businessmen's faces none of them had expected such an articulate response that's a rather specific topic one of the men commented Isabella smiled taking a sip of her drink I just follow Trends after all everything comes down to who gets the inside information first doesn't it the men laughed now more at ease Isabella had captured their Interest William however felt a growing frustration Isabella wasn't just fitting in she was taking over before he could intervene a tall man with a distinguished appearance approached Damen Blackwood one of the country's most influential investors known for

his sharp business instincts and his ability to size people up quickly Isabella right Damian looked at her with interest you seem very comfortable here she turned to him with a polite smile maybe because I Am Daman laughed I like that and what's your relationship with Lancaster she shot William a playful look before answering just an interesting partnership William felt his blood boil Isabella was playing her own game and he didn't like losing control indeed William interjected taking the glass from her hand and handing it to a waiter now if you'll excuse us I need to

steal my companion for a moment he grabbed her wrist and led her To a more secluded area of the ballroom what exactly are you doing he asked through clenched teeth Isabella smiled just having fun you're standing out too much wasn't that the plan to make your ex- fiance jealous William narrowed his eyes you play very well Isabella she tilted her head and you don't like it when you can't control the game do you William let out a short laugh you're not just a simple beggar Isabella crossed her arms and he took a while to figure

That out before he could respond Olivia appeared beside them I hope you're enjoying the party she said politely though her eyes assess Isabella cautiously very much Isabella answered before William could speak Olivia forced a calculated smile you know Isabella I feel like we've met before maybe Isabella replied with a shrug The High Society world can be small after all William noticed the way Olivia pressed her lips together and where do you know William from Olivia insisted Isabella smiled I think it's more fun if that stays a mystery Olivia let out a soft laugh though there

was something sharp in her gaze of course mystery always adds an interesting touch to stories she turned to William can we talk for a moment William nodded but before stepping away he cast one last look at Isabella she simply smiled as if she knew exactly what she was doing William followed Olivia to a private balcony the Night was cold and the City Light sparkled in the distance but the look on the woman in front of him burned like fire who is she William Olivia asked bluntly Crossing her arms over her Immaculate dress he kept his

expression neutral Isabella my companion she let out a dry laugh don't treat me like a fool I know the kind of woman you bring to events like this and she doesn't fit the mold William felt a surge of irritation what exactly do you want to Know Olivia she stared at him intensely where did she come from he hesitated for a second and that was enough for Olivia to catch on my God she whispered as if she had pieced the puzzle together you found this woman on the street didn't you William didn't confirm it but his

silence said it all this is unbelievable Olivia said with a disbelieving laugh you brought a beggar to provoke me I brought a confident intelligent woman who fits in here perfectly he countered Firmly a woman who knows too much for someone who was supposedly living on the street Olivia retorted narrowing her eyes she doesn't belong in this world or does she William didn't like her tone don't try to play games with me Olivia you don't have that right anymore she raised an eyebrow maybe I don't but I have the right to know who I'm dealing with

Olivia straightened her posture as if she had already made a decision if I Were you William I'd be careful that woman didn't show up in your life by chance without waiting for a response she turned and walked back to the ballroom leaving William alone with his doubts is Bella felt the stairs as she moved through the guests it was inevitable since her arrival everyone had been trying to figure out who she was but she moved with ease as if she had always belonged there then Olivia appeared in front of her you dance well Isabella smiled

thank you so do you Olivia tilted her head studying her and you speak well you know how to carry yourself at an event like this I appreciate the compliment Isabella said calmly it wasn't a compliment it was an observation Isabella noticed the tension in Olivia's eyes you think you know me Olivia laughed softly I don't think I know Isabella kept her posture steady then tell me Olivia who do you think I am Olivia observed her for a long moment Before smiling that's what I'm still trying to figure out she picked up a glass of champagne

from a waiter's tray but don't worry Isabella I always find out she took a sip and disappeared into the crowd Isabella stood still taking a deep breath Olivia was starting to suspect something and that was a problem in the car William drove in silence Isabella watched the bright city streets but she could tell he was unsettled you want to ask me something she said I do He didn't take his eyes off the road but I don't know if you'll answer she smiled depends on the question William turned the wheel making a sharp turn who are

you Isabella she crossed her legs relaxed the woman you chose to make an impression on your ex- fiance no his jaw tightened you know too much you act like someone who has lived in this world before she stayed quiet William pulled up in front of his hotel and turned to face her I had you investigated she Didn't look surprised and what did you find he studied her nothing you don't exist Isabella no records no recent information it's as if you erased your own life she gave a small smile maybe some things need to be erased

William felt a mix of frustration and Fascination I don't like Mysteries then maybe I'm not the right person for you she opened the car door and stepped out walking into the hotel without looking back William sat still for a moment his Fingers gripping the steering wheel she was hiding something and he was going to find out Isabella locked the door and leaned against it her heart was racing Olivia was suspicious William was suspicious she looked looked at herself in the mirror the luxurious dress the Flawless makeup for a moment she looked like someone else or

maybe she was becoming who she had always been she pulled out the Disposable phone hidden in her bag and typed a short message he Started investigating the reply came seconds later then it's time for you to decide your next move Isabella deleted the message and let out a quiet sigh she knew she couldn't keep this secret for long and soon William would find out the truth William was is not a patient man he liked direct answers absolute control over everything around him but Isabella she was a mystery that defied his logic and that bothered him

more than he wanted to admit that morning as He sipped his coffee in his office his mind was still stuck on the night before Isabella knew things she shouldn't know she acted like she belonged in high society yet she had no records didn't exist in any system it was as if she had erased her own history he picked up the phone and dialed a number he hadn't used in a while I need you to look into someone for me he said bluntly as soon as the call was answered on the other end a man chuckled

it's been a while Lancaster who's the target Isabella William paused for a moment no last name that makes things more interesting I want to know everything where she came from who she really is and why she seems to be hiding something give me 48 hours William Hung Up and leaned back in his chair if Isabella was playing a game with him he would soon see her cards hours later after leaving the office he decided to find her he knew she was Still staying at the hotel he had booked for her when he arrived he went

straight to her floor and knocked on the door without warning let's play a little game with those who only read the comments type chocolate in the comments only those who made it this far will understand now let's continue with the story it took a few seconds but Isabella finally opened the door she was dressed simply without the Flawless makeup from the night before yet her posture Remained unwavering were you expecting someone William asked Crossing his arms she didn't seem surprised by his visit not really but you don't seem like the type who announces his arrival

do you he studied her for a moment can we talk she stepped aside letting him in William walked into the room scanning the neatly arranged space there was no sign that Isabella had been living on the streets have you always been the straightforward he asked she Smirked you don't like small talk so why should I use it William sat on the couch across from her I want to know the truth Isabella she raised an eyebrow the truth about what about you who are you really she leaned forward slightly why does that bother you so much

his fists tightened because you came came out of nowhere accepted my offer without hesitation and act like you already belong in this world but there are no records of you anywhere she was silent For a moment and what if I don't want to tell you William let out his humorless laugh so I'll find out on my own she looked at him for a long moment before sighing fine William I'll tell you a little He adjusted himself on the sofa waiting I grew up in a world very similar to yours luxury parties powerful connections but that

world can be cruel especially when you become an obstacle to the wrong people William narrowed his eyes obstacle my family was influential My father ran businesses that involved a lot of money but one betrayal made everything fall apart overnight I lost everything he frowned who betrayed you Isabella looked away someone I trusted William sensed there was more to the story than she was revealing why did you erase your life she gave a sad smile because times it's safer to disappear the silence between them grew heavy William knew she wasn't telling him everything but this was

the first piece Of the puzzle and now what do you plan to do Isabella crossed her legs I'm still deciding William stood up you can keep deceiving me Isabella but I will find out the truth she watched him leave the room without saying another word the next day William received a call from his investigator I found something tell me you were right Isabella at isn't who she pretends to be William gripped the phone tightly go on her real name is Isabella Deo Daughter of Richard Deo Williams blood ran cold he knew that name the construction

Tycoon that's the one but here's the interesting Part B Richard Deo went bankrupt a few years ago after a scandal involving embezzlement and guess who was involved in that Scandal William felt his breath Quicken Olivia Harrington exactly William felt silent for a moment so Isabella didn't show up by chance seems like she didn't he hung up and stared out the window of his Office at the city below Isabella had a direct connection to Olivia that changed everything later that evening he was in his office reviewing some documents but he couldn't focus on a single word

Isabella's image kept flashing in his mind the Sparks of anger and vulnerability In Her Eyes the way she never backed down before he realized it he grabbed his car keys and drove to the hotel where she was staying he needed to see her he needed to hear the truth from Her own mouth the door opened after a few seconds revealing Isabella with a tired expression her hair was slightly messy William her voice carried surprise we need to talk she sighed and opened the door wider letting him in I didn't know you made late night visits

neither did I he crossed his arms staring at her can you stop testing me me for a minute and tell me the truth about what he frowned about why you accepted my proposal without hesitation she looked Away for a moment before finally speaking because Olivia Harrington destroyed my family those words made William's stomach churn he already knew but he wanted confirmation Olivia was responsible for my father's downfall for the destruction of my life he observed her closely tell me everything Isabella walked to the window hugging herself My Father Richard Deo owned one of the largest

construction companies in the Country he was an honorable respected man until he trusted the harringtons Olivia came into the business as a strategic partner someone he believed he could rely on but in reality she was manipulating him the whole time manipulating how creating fraudulent deals embezzling money putting his name on illegal transactions without his knowledge when everything exploded my father was accused of corruption he lost everything our home our dignity her Voice wavered he passed away before he could defend himself William felt a Pang in his chest as he heard that my God Isabella continued

her eyes fixed on the city outside after that everything fell apart my mother got sick shortly after and couldn't hold on I tried to fight to prove his innocence but Olivia had already closed all the doors on me in no time I had nothing left William stood and walked over to her you survived on the streets yes and That's how I learned never to trust anyone again he reached out and lifted her chin forcing her to look at him you don't have to do this alone she pulled her face away I don't need a savior

William he took a deep breath fighting the urge to insist I know but that doesn't mean you have to carry everything by yourself Isabella let out a soft laugh but there was no humor in it you think you can protect me I think I want to protect you she blinked Surprised and why he let out a sigh because I don't know what I'm feeling anymore when I'm around you there was a long silence Isabella finally turned fully to face him what does that mean he ran a hand through his hair it means you make me

uneasy I've never felt this way before I can't explain it she watched him for a long moment and does that bother you a lot then maybe it's best if we keep our distance he shook his head I can't do that she looked away clearly Disturbed by the direction of the conversation this doesn't change anything I know she clenched her fists and what about Olivia the mere mention of his ex-fiance's name was enough to bring him back to reality if everything you said is true I don't know who she really is Isabella nodded slowly but I

do and I won't stop until I settle the score William remained silent he knew he wouldn't be able to convince her to back down down then I'll be by your side she Gave a small Bittersweet smile even knowing this could end very badly he took a step forward closing the distance between them even then later that night William was awakened by the sound of his phone ringing William we have a problem said the investigator on the other end what is it Olivia already knows Isabella is around and she's not happy about it Williams's heart raced

what is she going to do we don't know yet but some is digging for information on Isabella he clenched his jaw keep me posted on any updates when he hung up a waight settled on his chest Olivia wouldn't leave Isabella alone he needed to act before it was too late the next morning William found Isabella on the hotel balcony she was sitting on the ground arms wrapped around her knees staring at the Horizon he approached slowly and crouched down beside her you know she's found out right I know he sighed shek not going to stop

Neither will I William watched her for a moment the way her hair was slightly disheveled how tired her eyes looked something inside him tightened Isabella she blinked a few times as if trying to hold back tears but one slipped down the corner of her eye it was instinctive William pulled her into an Embrace holding her close against his chest it's going to be okay he murmured she didn't resist she simply closed her eyes and rested her face against him neither of Them said anything there was no need in that moment without having to admit it

aloud they knew they were in this together and that Olivia had no idea what was coming William felt that something was about to happen since his conversation with Isabella the previous night his mind hadn't found any rest knowing that Olivia was involved in ruining Isabella's family changed everything he wanted Revenge not just for Isabella but for himself after all He had almost married a woman capable of destroying lives without hesitation now he needed to find out how far Olivia would go to protect her secrets that morning while reviewing some reports in his office he received

a call from his private investigator William we have a problem go on Olivia is up to something my contacts say she's gathering information on Isabella it looks like she's planning to expose something against her William gritted his teeth What exactly did she find out I don't know yet but I do know she's already reached out to lawyers and journalists if she's going that far it means she has something big he threw the pen on his desk and stood up running a hand through his hair find out what it is before she makes a move I'm

on it but I suggest you warn Isabella he took a deep breath I'm on my way to see her now when he arrived at the hotel where Isabella was staying William knocked hard on the door she opened quickly surprised to see him so tense what is it he walked in without waiting for an invitation and shut the door behind him Olivia is making a move against you her eyes narrowed what do you mean she's gathering information and planning something big my investigator believed she might try to expose you publicly Isabella didn't seem surprised she just

sighed and crossed her arms I knew this would happen and you're this Calm about it she laughed without humor after everything I've been through William do you really think a scandal is going to scare me he watched her for a moment admiring her strength but that didn't lessen the danger I can protect you he said she raised an eyebrow I told you I don't need a savior this isn't about saving you it's about stopping Olivia Isabella stepped closer looking deep into his eyes and what are you going to do William he held her face Gently

his thumbs brushing her skin Softly whatever it takes for a moment she just stood there looking at him there was something in her eyes something William wanted to understand but that she quickly hid I don't want you to get hurt because of me he gave a faint smile too late for that before she could respond Isabella's phone vibrated she looked at the screen her face tensing what is it William asked she showed him the screen it was an Anonymous message be careful who you trust the past always comes back back to haunt you he took

the phone from her and studied the message that was Olivia Isabella took the phone back and deleted the message she's trying to intimidate me William shook his head that means we're getting close to something she nodded slowly then we need to act before she does the next morning a scandal broke every major newspaper ran headlines about Isabelle has passed Isabella Deo from luxury to the streets the ays who lost everything former fiance of William Lancaster involved in corruption scandals the media was ruthless reporting every detail about the Deo family's downfall painting Isabella as a woman

who tried to deceive the powerful Olivia had made the first move at the office William read every article Fury burning inside him when Isabella walked in he stood up did you see it she nodded and tossed a Magazine onto the table Olivia is trying to destroy me again he clenched his fists that's not going to happen she gave a soft laugh you always have that absurd confidence he gently held her chin making her look at him because I never lose her eyes flickered with something close to Hope but determination quickly took over then let's make

sure she loses this time William nodded it's time to bring Olivia Harrington down they stared at each Other for a long moment they didn't know how this would end the Scandal involving Isabella had dominated the headlines for days Olivia played dirty distorting her past to make it seem like she was an opportunist trying to re-enter High Society but Isabella remained unfaced she had waited years for this moment she wouldn't fall now William knew that too but he also knew Olivia wasn't done she would try one final blow and they had to Be ready that evening

Isabella received an unexpected invitation private dinner at the Harrington Club select members only your presence is requested she gried the invitation tightly William sitting on the couch in her room read the note and scoffed this is obviously a trap I know he stood up then you're not going Isabella looked at him defiantly of course I'm going William pressed his lips together Isabella this is my moment William I'm not running he took a deep Breath running a hand through his hair then let's make sure Olivia is the only one who loses tonight the Harrington Mansion was

lit up filled with select guests for the event Isabella walked in alone wearing an elegant black dress that exuded power and mystery William was already there blending in with the crowd watching every detail then Olivia appeared Isabella she said a venomous smile on her lips glad you accepted my invitation you didn't give me much Choice Isabella replied taking a glass of champagne from a waiter Olivia tilted her head I hope you've enjoyed the attention you've been getting lately the media loved your story I've gotten used to being the center of attention something you've always wanted

haven't you Olivia's eyes flashed with anger for a second but she quickly regained her composure Isabella dear you've lost again no matter what you try you'll never be someone again Isabella smiled You're wrong Olivia narrowed her eyes what do you mean William appeared at Isabella's side his imposing presence making Olivia stiffen dear Olivia it looks like you didn't read the papers today he said handing her an envelope Olivia opened it and turned pale as she read it was a complete dossier proving her involvement in the scheme that had ruined the Deo family documents recordings signatures

undeniable evidence this is fake Olivia whispered Her hands trembling no it's not Isabella said triumphantly and tomorrow morning it'll be on every front page Olivia completely lost her composure you can't do this to me William smiled coldly just like you did to Isabella Olivia looked around realizing that all eyes were on her the Scandal had already begun her reputation was ruined she was finished this can't be happening she murmured in shock Isabella leaned in and whispered in her ear now you know what it feels Like to lose everything Olivia glanced around realizing that everyone was

witnessing her humiliation her Empire of power was crumbling right before her eyes then before she could react the ballroom door swung open two police officers walked in followed by a prosecutor Miss Olivia Harrington one of the officers announced she froze yes you are under arrest for financial fraud embezzlement and Market manipulation the entire Ballroom fell silent Olivia let Out a nervous laugh this is ridiculous I am Olivia Harrington and now you're also a criminal Isabella replied coldly the officers stepped forward and handcuffed Olivia William she screamed desperate say something he simply looked at her with

indifference your only mistake was thinking you'd never get caught as she was dragged away Olivia shot one last look at Isabella her eyes burning with hatred this isn't over for you it is and just like that in front of the elite who Once admired her Olivia was taken away Isabella let out a long breath for the first time in years she felt truly free the next day Olivia's arrest dominated the news her financial Empire collapsed within hours as investors and allies abandoned her later that evening Isabella and William were in his Penthouse looking out over

the city through the window she held a glass of wine but didn't drink she was deep in thought you did it William said we did It he smiled and now Isabella aside I start over William felt an unfamiliar tightness in his chest when he heard that I want to help you she looked at him skeptical how he walked over to her took an envelope and handed it to her this is a proposal for a new business a company in your name she blinked surprised what I want to start something for you a business of your

own with your name your Independence she set her wine glass down And crossed her arms William I don't need your charity he chuckled shaking his head this isn't charity it's a partnership you have talent you have Vision I want you to have something that belongs to you she had hesitated I don't know he took her hands in his Isabella you've spent years fighting it's time to start building something real she remained silent for a long time then she sighed all right but on one condition what condition she stepped closer her Eyes locked on his I

do this my way William smiled you always do the air between them changed something warm intense lingered there she looked away but he gently cued her face is Isabella she didn't resist when he pulled her into a kiss this time there were no barriers between them the tension the unspoken feelings everything erupted in that moment William held her tightly as if afraid she might slip away after the kiss Isabella pulled back met his gaze And softly said good night William then she turned and walked away William Stood Still but he knew she felt something too

Days Later Deo Consulting was born a Strategic investment and Analysis firm is Isabella threw herself into it building her team reconnecting with old contacts slowly she began to reclaim her place in the business World William stayed by her side the entire time never imposing but always present until one night he realized he had to tell her how He felt I'm in love with you he said without hesitation she blinked caught off guard William I know it soon but I can't pretend anymore she looked away her heart pounding I can't what do you mean she took

a deep breath I'm not ready for a relationship I just got my life back and I need to focus on that William nodded though it hurt more than he wanted to admit all right she gave him a soft smile you always Understand but I'm not a man who gives up easily in the weeks that followed William made sure she knew he wasn't giving up every morning he left a fresh cup of coffee on her desk to keep you going he'd say with a smile then came the dinners is this a date she asked one evening

just dinner between business partners he replied casually and then the small surprises one night after a long day Isabella returned to her office to find a bouquet of white lies on her Desk with a note I know you like coffee more than flowers but I hope you'll enjoy these anyway she chuckled feeling something stir inside her but William wasn't just trying to win her over he was supporting her when an investor tried to deceive her William was the first to warn her when the media attempted to twist her story he used his influence to ensure

the truth was told and when Isabella had a rough day he showed up with a bottle of wine and a Concerned look want to talk about it she hesitated but for the first time allowed herself to open up months passed and Deo Consulting grew stronger by the day Isabella finally felt she had control over her life but there was something she couldn't deny William was always always there she tried to ignore the feelings that surfaced every time he smiled at her one evening Isabella attended a business event that gathered the biggest names in the market

she Moved gracefully through the room greeting investors and CEOs with the confidence of someone who had faced the worst and survived her navy blue dress was sophisticated yet understated still drawing attention she focused on making meaningful connections but it didn't take long for her to sense someone watching her Liam Bisset a renowned French investor approached with a charming smile he was a charismatic man with dark hair and Intense eyes Miss Deo I finally have the pleasure of meeting you in person Isabella returned a polite smile Mr Bisset the pleasure is mine he extended his hand

but instead of a formal handshake he leaned in slightly and kissed the back of her hand a traditional but captivating gesture I would say the pleasure is all nine fine he said his gaze holding hers Isabella was used to such advances but maintained her composure I assume you're Here for business she said business can wait for a moment don't you think he tilted his head and extended a hand to her may I have this dance she hesitated briefly but decided to accept dancing meant nothing Liam guided her to the dance floor holding her waist firmly

but respectfully they moved in sync and Isabella realized he was a skilled dancer you dance well miss Deo I've learned that a strong presence is essential in business she replied and Outside of business he smiled leaning slightly closer aren't there moments when you just let yourself enjoy life Isabella let out a soft laugh are you always this persistent only when I find something that genuinely interests me the music ended but Liam didn't immediately let go of her hand he led her back to the bar grabbing two glasses of champagne and handing one to Isabella so

tell me does a powerful woman like you ever make time for fun before Isabella could answer she felt the penetrating Gaze on her she turned and saw William Lancaster on the other side of the room his face was serious his eyes darkened with something she recognized instantly jealousy William crossed the room with determined strides ignoring the greetings he received along the way when he reached Isabella and Liam he stopped beside her his irritation barely concealed Isabella may I speak with you for a moment his voice Was firm but laced with tension Liam raised an eyebrow

and offered a polite smile Mr Lancaster correct I've heard a lot about you and I've heard about you William replied coldly the atmosphere around them seemed to drop a few degrees William we're in the middle of a conversation Isabella said trying to maintain composure yes I noticed William said shooting a glance at Liam and as as much as I'd love to keep watching this unfold I have more important matters to Discuss with Isabella Liam maintained a polite demeanor but Isabella sensed he had picked up on the tension it seems your friend doesn't like sharing attention

leam murmured to her amused before Isabella could respond William took a step forward making it clear he didn't appreciate the comment you've had your dance betet now if you don't mind Isabella huffed grabbing Williams arm firmly excuse me Mr Bisset I'll be back In a moment she pulled William toward a more secluded area her steps firm when they reached a hallway away from the Dance Floor she turned to him Furious what was that William he ran a hand through his hair trying to calm his anger I couldn't stand seeing that guy hitting on you and

that gives you the right to act like a complete idiot did you really not notice the way he was looking at you he wasn't interested in business Isabella and if he was that's my business not yours William was silent for a moment his eyes glinting with frustration you're right he finally admitted but I hate the idea of seeing you with another man Isabella took a deep breath trying to control her anger I'm not yours William you have no right to be jealous she turned to leave but William followed her to the parking lot Isabella wait

she spun around abruptly what more do you Want I want you to listen to me I've heard enough you need to understand that you can't control me the tension between them was explosive William stared at her fiercely and Isabella felt her body buzzing with adrenaline then suddenly he pulled her toward him and kissed her it was a desperate kiss filled with anger and suppressed desire Isabella froze for a second but then unable to resist she kissed him back but then reality hit her And she pushed him away you can't do that William was breathing heavily

his eyes th darkened with desire I know you felt it that doesn't justify anything she turned and got into her car before he could say another word she sped out of the parking lot toward leaving William behind the next day Isabella was in her office but her mind was still on what had happened she tried to focus on her reports but the memory of the kiss haunted her then the door opened and William walked in you can't just show up unannounced she said without looking up I came to apologize she finally looked at him for

the jealousy or for the kiss you stole he sighed both good now if you don't mind I have work to do William chose not to insist and walked away she turned back to her documents letun play a little game with those who only read the comments type Coca-Cola in the comments only those who made it this far will Understand now let's continue with the story that night Isabella left the office late as she approached her car she noticed something was wrong the window had been scratched a word crudely etched onto the glass beware her blood

ran cold someone was trying to scare her her first instinct was to call William but she hesitated she didn't want to give him another reason to act like her protector but before she could decide a message appeared on her phone alone you Won't get anywhere no when to quit this time she didn't hesitate she picked up the phone and dialed William he answered on the second ring what happened someone scratched my car and I just got a threat his silence lasted only a second before his voice came out firm I'm on my way 15 minutes

later William pulled up next to her car he studied the scratches on the window his expression hard are you okay yes she said Crossing her arms you Know you can't ignore this right I know William pulled out his phone and called one of his private security contacts I need footage from the camera ceras in this area find out who did this now Isabella watched as he took control of the situation handling the problem with the ease of someone who had dealt with threats before as much as she didn't want to rely on anyone in that

moment she felt an odd sense of relief that he was there when William Hung Up He turned to her until we find out who's behind this I want you to have extra security William never the following days were filled with tension William managed to find out that the attacks on Isabella's company were being orchestrated by one of Olivia's former Associates who was trying to block her rise when Isabella found out she didn't hesitate she scheduled a meeting with the man and alongside William made it clear that she wouldn't be Intimidated did you think you'd scare

me she said keeping her voice calm let me be clear I've lost everything before but now there's nothing that will make me back down the man swallowed hard he knew he had lost after that confrontation the attack stopped Isabella proved she was not an easy opponent but her Victory had an unexpected side effect she realized that throughout this entire time William had been by her side not to protect her from something she couldn't handle but To support her and that made her question why she was still trying to keep her distance one evening Isabella was

in her office lost in thought when William walked in it's been 3 months since you opened the company he said tossing a small box onto the desk she picked it up and opened it inside was a silver keychain with the letter i engraved on it to celebrate he said she smiled feeling a warmth spread through her Chest thank you he watched her for a moment before speaking will you ever stop running from me she held her breath will I'm not asking for anything I just want to know if there's a chance her heart pounded in

her chest she knew the answer but couldn't say it yet he noticed it's okay he said stepping back like I said I'm patient when he left the room Isabella let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding she knew she was close to giving in but when she Finally made that decision it would be for good and that scared her more than any threat she'd ever faced the next day started like any other Isabella arrived early at the office immersed in reports and meetings since the attacks on her company had ceased she was finally

able to focus on growing the business but throughout the morning something began to bother her William didn't show up that was unusual William always found a way to drop by even if just for a few Minutes with some work excuse or simply to tease her but that morning he didn't call didn't send any messages and didn't show up at first Isabella tried to ignore it but as the hours passed the unease grew inside her by 8:00 in the evening she couldn't take it anymore she grabbed her coat and left the office driving to Williams Penthouse

when she arrived she rang the doorbell several times no answer her heart raced she took out the spare key William had given her For emergencies and unlocked the door the lights in the apartment were dim the place was silent except for the low hum of the television that's when she saw him William was lying on the couch covered with a thin blanket his face pale and is breathing heavy William Isabella ran to him placing her hand on his forehead he was burning up he opened his eyes slowly surprised to see her there Isabella oh my

God you have a fever she held his face worried it's Just the flu he murmured his voice hoarse I'm taking you to the hospital Isabella said already grabbing her phone but William held her wrist stopping her no I just need to rest William you're burning up he tried to smile if I go to the hospital they'll take my blood I hate needles Isabella aside in frustration you're impossible William closed his eyes exhausted Isabella got up and went to the kitchen preparing hot tea and grabbing a damp cloth she Returned to the living room kneeling by

the sofa and placing the cloth on his forehead this will help bring down your fever he opened his eyes looking at her softly you didn't have to come yes I did the silence between them was Heavy with meaning Isabella didn't want to admit it but seeing him like that tightened her chest she spent the entire night taking care of him she made tea changed the cold cloth on his forehead and stayed by his side at some point during the night Exhaustion took over she fell asleep there sitting on the floor with her head resting near

his chest the next morning Isabella woke up to the Gentle Touch of Williams fingers in her hair did you stay here all night he asked his voice stronger she blinked a few times before lifting her head you were in bad shape someone had to take care of you he smiled running a hand over his face I feel much better I think I had the best nurse in the world she chuckled softly And stood up I'll make breakfast Isabella went to the kitchen and carefully prepared everything fresh bread neatly sliced fruit orange juice and strong coffee

when she returned with the tray she found William sitting on the couch watching her with a different expression what is it she asked he took a deep breath before speaking I love you Isabella she froze for a second William I know you feel the same I saw it last night and the way you were worried about Me she bit her lip her heart pounding this time there was no reason to deny it I love you too William his eyes lit up with happiness finally he murmured pulling her into a tight Embrace she laughed against his

chest feeling ridiculously happy you're so persistent and it was worth it they pulled apart and Isabella served breakfast William watched her every move as if memorizing everything I want you to take the day off he said suddenly she raised an Eyebrow what I want to take you somewhere special she hesitated but after the night before she didn't want to be away from him all right where are we going it's a surprise William took her to a secluded cabin on a private beach as soon as they stepped out of the car Isabella was speechless William this

is beautiful he smiled I knew you'd love it they spent the afternoon walking along the shore feeling the ocean breeze and talking about everything then William sat on a rock and looked at her thoughtfully what is it she asked sitting beside him he took a deep breath before speaking before I met you I was arrogant ambitious I only cared about power and myself Isabella stayed quiet listening intently but then you came along and started challenging me at first I found it irritating but then I became intrigued he looked at her you were the first Person

who wasn't afraid to stand up to me and that made me realize I was surrounded by people who just said yes to everything I wanted you made me see the world differently her heart tightened I never wanted to change you William but you did you made me a better man more human more humble Isabella smiled Softly and I fell in love with this version of you he took her hand his eyes locked onto hers I need to ask you something She frowned slightly confused what William stood up and pulled something from his pocket Isabella's eyes

widened when she saw a small box he opened it revealing a sparkling diamond ring Isabella Deo I want to do this the right way I want to love you the way you deserve with respect with patience and with all my heart tears filled her eyes will you marry me she didn't have to think twice yes William smiled and slipped the ring onto Her finger before pulling her into a passionate kiss at that moment Isabella knew there were no more barriers between them and that this was only the beginning of something even greater the sun was

setting over the beach as Isabella and William returned to the cabin the air was still warm and the scent of the Ocean mixed with the gentle breeze that made her hair dance William held Isabella's hand firmly as if afraid she might disappear but there were no More doubts they belonged to each other I still can't believe we're engaged Isabella said looking at the ring sparkling on her finger William smiled pulling her closer I knew this would happen you just took your time accepting it she rolled her eyes laughing you never give up do you never

not when it comes to you her heart warmed at his words she had never imagined finding a love this deep this real later that night William prepared a special dinner For them on the cabin's Terrace candles lit the table and the sound of the Waves crashing against the shore created the perfect atmosphere you're cooking Isabella teased looking at the perfectly plated dish I wanted to impress my fiance William replied pouring wine for both of them she picked up her glass and raised a toast to us to our future William clinked his glass against hers to

the love of my life they toasted and enjoyed dinner sharing laughter and Loving glances when they finished William took Isabella's hand and pulled her in for a dance under the stars do you remember the first time we danced he asked guiding her slowly at that business event I remember you were insanely jealous he chuckled I was but now I know I never had to be you were always meant to be mine Isabella smiled and rested her head on his chest there dancing Under The Starry Sky she realized she would never have to run From her
