“Isabella's POV All my life I had only ever wished for one thing; to have a happily ever after. To be able to grow old with a man I would love for the rest of my life, to just... To just be happy. Starting from the day I came back from college, everything was working against me. I was met with the news of my parents death. They had supposedly died in a car accident on their way to god know where. Another news was that the company was going down and they were in dire need of money. The company my father worked so hard to bring up was about to died no sooner than he was announced dead. I couldn't let it happen. That was my legacy, the one thing my father left for me. But someone; my uncle was ahead of me. He said he also wanted the company to survive. He said I was too young to handle it, he said I was only going to help the company but in another way, without taking charge. And... I believed him. I just proved him right when he said I was too young and naive. I allowed myself to get trapped in Antonio's cage, I brought myself to him all innocent and stupid. Another stupid thing I did was to allow myself get close to him, or better yet...I allowed him get close to me. He just came to my room and slept there with a surprised look on his face as if he hadn't slept in a long time. To read too much between the lines. I thought I understood his every single actions, and I thought he cared about me... Even going as far as giving him my body. Just when I thought I was going to have that happily ever after, I was met with another shocking news... Antonio was responsible for my parents death! ... Isabella Moreno a young graduate came home only to discover her parents were dead and she was shipped off to Antonio to 'save' her father's company. She fell in love with him only to discover that he was the one who killed her parents. It was as if she was held back by an invisible force, until the force disappeared and she discovered the truth. After that discovery, she ran while holding his secret...his child. 7 years later, she was dragged back to her cage but now the tides had changed. She wasn't the weak naive girl who fell for him, she wanted revenge. Revenge for her parents death, revenge for everything he put her through. And she was going to get it... Or would she?”
