But to Jacqueline, that smile made her look like the grim reaper from hell. She didn’t want to be near the kids anymore!
“For starters, we want breakfast – freshly prepared and bountiful. Then we can make negotiations later on how to go about our lessons,” Was Isabella’s orders.
“Sure, sure,” Jacqueline nodded and left to go process her orders.
After Jacqueline left, the dining room became eerily quiet with no one saying a word. They had seen what Isabella had done and though Jacqueline had been a pain in the ass, Isabella might have taken it too far.
Even Julie finally realized why his grandfather wanted her with him. Isabella was a woman of action, unlike him who was tender-hearted. She was perfectly suited for their mob job.
“Sister!” Neon was the first to speak, giving her a thumbs up, “You were so cool,”
Isabella snorted with laughter knowing Neon was only happy at the thought of food. Her main concern was Pedro who hasn’t spoken to her since the incident.
Hands propped up on her chin, she turned to him, “Why? You don’t like me anymore?”
Pedro’s gaze narrowed at her, what games was she playing this time?
“What are you talking about?” he asked, still refusing to look at him.
“Oh, is this the silent treatment, now?” She attempted a joke but it wasn’t amusing to Pedro.
Isabella told him, “Pedro, look at me,”
He didn’t.
She then grabbed his chin, turning his face towards her gently and rubbing her thumb over his cheeks.
“Hold a grudge against me all you want but don’t ever hide your face away from me,” She proclaimed, stunning everyone.
“A-hem,” Julie intentionally coughed to remind them that people were around but Isabella didn’t give a fuck.
Pedro took a deep breath, “You went too far,”
“That was the only way to deal with her,”
“Violence is never the answer,” Pedro retorted.
“It answers my problems,” Isabella then asked him, “Didn’t it answer this one?”
“I’m just saying there could have been another way,”
“So then, you’re going to break up with me over this?” Isabella asked him.
“What?” Pedro couldn’t believe her, “Why are you always bringing ‘break up’ into our argument?”
“Because people who don’t like my attitude always leave? Besides, it always pays to be mentally prepared for the big let’s-break-up bomb,”
Pedro sighed, pinching the space between his brows. He told her pointedly, “I’m never going to break up with you, Isabella, not in this life nor the next. You’re the only woman I’m going to love and marry till death does us apart,”
Isabella replied, “Don’t make promises you won’t be able to -“
“Seriously?” Anabelle interrupted her, “Are you fucking kidding me?” she glared at her cousin.
Isabella looked around in confusion, “Did I do anything wrong?”
“Oh my gosh,” Even Ailee facepalmed while her brothers were as clueless as Isabella.
Alright, she definitely did something wrong, Isabella could guess from their expression.
“Pedro just proposed to you and this is your reply?” Anabelle gave her a dirty look.
Pedro in question, scratched the back of his head awkwardly, he didn’t really mean it in that way. But if so, he was cool with it.
However, was he really ready to spend the rest of his life with Isabella because the truth be told, he was scared of her tendencies.
However, he was confident in his power to influence her. He can’t change Isabella nor who she was, but he would fill her with so much light she would never remember the darkness inside of her. Yes, he would fill her with love
“Huh?” Isabella was stunned. Then she looked towards Pedro just as a blush warmed her cheeks. She wouldn’t mind marrying him as well – just that she didn’t want children.

The third point of view:
“Hey baby, it’s morning,” Niles woke his wife, but she turned the other way with a groan.
“God, give me an hour. I just want to catch… a little sleep…” she slurred, eyes shutting close.
Niles shook his head, then pulled her around to him, “Sorry, babe, but that was the same thing you said an hour ago. It’s eight already,”
Reina pushed him away, “Thirty minutes more,” her eyelids were heavy with sleep.
“I would have, but unfortunately, this is the royal palace and people are waiting for us,” Niles told her.
Unfortunately, Reina didn’t give a damn. She continued her sleep.
With a sigh, Niles simply carried her off the bed. But that action didn’t stir Reina at all, instead, she leaned into his warmth. Not to mention he smelled good.
“This sleep is really a strange one,” Niles thought.
