"Being my mother is your fate...guiding you from behind with my knowledge is my duty....Mom.Either you find that intelligent dad of mine or you stop nagging me..choose one" the child said clearly in a demanding tone before walking away.
Isabella gasped at her daughter and didn't know how to react to her child's domineering attitude.
'Oh My God..... she's becoming much horrible than those evildoers I want to crush. How can I deal with this devil in future? That man I slept with must be a demon king for this one to have such sharp tongue despite her young age' Isabella murmured in her heart and fell in a daze thinking of that tragic night from her past.
It was the night before her wedding.
Dubois family house was decorated with white meshed curtains and bunches of lilies, chandeliers brightening the whole place and relatives circling the house in a joyous mode.
Isabella's white dress hung to a stand on one end and jewellery spread across the table on another end of her bedroom.
Her mother gazing at her with a face plastered with love and affection.
"Mom... Mr Romano's calling me. I'll take the call first" Isabella told to her mother and walked a distance towards the balcony.
"Hello...." Isabella spoke with calmness.
"Bella....can you come and help me with something. George's in trouble with his company?" the man told with little nervousness.
"Help? Yeah sure. But what happened to George...Is he still outside? It's already so late?" Isabella felt her heart thumping hard.
"Yeah... he's still outside. I believe only you can save him from this problem. Can you come out for a little while?" Mr.Romano said in a pleading voice.
"Okay..sure" Isabella ended the call and rushed out towards the gate of her family house.
"Miss Isabella... I'm here to pick you up" a man dressed in black picked her up in a car outside the gate.
She got in and breathed deeply to calm her nervous heart.
"Miss...Can you help me open this bottle?" the driver handed her a small bottle from his seat before locking the car doors and starting the car engine.
Isabella took and tried opening the bottle and after a few seconds, a wild smell entered her nose making her to puke. But soon she turned dizzy falling into a deep slumber.
She slept for a long time not knowing what happened all while. The moment she woke up from her unconsciousness, she's naked on a bed in a hotel room.
She moved a little, instantly causing her to twist her face with pain raising in every part of her body.
With a lot of strength, she moved herself to dress up and go back to her house. She searched the house but found the whole house empty but she successfully noticed her messed up bedroom and her interior design sketches missing.
She tried calling her fiance but didn't connect for a long time but to her surprise, her cousin Clara picked the call just before she could hear the beeping end tone.
"Isabella... you should know by now where you stand in George's life? haha.." Clara's mocking voice made Isabella realise the whole drama played by the Romano family and her aunt.
Before Isabella could drift further into her memories, she was hugged from behind by her friend Helena.
"What are you thinking about so seriously? Don't say you're still trying to analyse how those bastards succeeded in betraying you?" Helena said closing herself to Isabella's ears.
"Haha... it's been five years. Why would I still think of the same old story? I already accepted my fate... I'm just thinking how to act against them? I've decided to go on with a one-man battle" Isabella simply slid the sad topic aside.
"What? You... want to go fight them alone without any support?" Helena released Isabella and walked forward to look at her face.
"Yeah.... there's this contest about fashion designing or something.. I'm planning to participate in that competition to gain some contacts and also a standard place for myself in the market" Isabella said holding her friend's hands.
"But...Can you cope up with the demands of that industry? You should know Paris is the base land for the fashion industry. You.. designing clothes...that sounds a bit weird to me" Helena said her opinion honestly.
" I know it's hard..but I already pictured few dresses for Tina baby in my free time. I never turned those drawings into real pieces, now I can put them onto a model.. simple" Isabella shrugged.
"I must have gone crazy...How can I forget that my Bella darling's multitalented? Don't worry I'll help you in sending your profile to the contest" Helena hugged and tapped Isabella's back showing her encouragement.
"It's set then...." Isabella said with a smile.
"See... I told you, Going solo is the best method...." the child dropped herself in between the two adults forgetting the previous fight with her mother.
"Gosh...this must be my little angel's idea" Helena picked the child up into her arms.
She now understood who made Isabella walk to the front alone.
"Aunt Helena...today I met some good men... three in total. I believe at least one among those three matches your tastes. Do you want to go on a blind date?" the child suddenly proposed her plan in a serious tone and took off the black-framed spectacles to check Helena's joyfully smiling face.
