A New Beginning
Isabel knew she couldn't stay in Italy any longer. William's grandparents had made it clear that they didn't want her to be with him, and she knew they wouldn't stop until they got what they wanted.
They had even threatened her to leave William before he returned from China, or she would lose those who were very dear to her.
After thinking long and hard, Isabel made the difficult decision to leave. She didn't tell anyone where she was going, not even William.
She knew it would break his heart, but she couldn't risk putting him in danger. She gathered what little she had and left for New York City to start a new life.
Fortunately, she had enough money to take care of herself, thanks to William's grandparents. She knew they had arranged everything for her, hoping to make her leave William for good. But Isabel was determined to make her own choices and take control of her own life.
As she boarded the plane, she felt a mix of emotions. She was scared, sad, and excited all at the same time. She didn't know what the future held, but she was ready for a new beginning.
She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to make it work.
As the plane took off, Isabel closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was leaving behind everything she had ever known, but she was ready for a new adventure. She was ready to start over and make a life for herself, on her own terms.
