“I love you more than I did yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow”
At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other
The grand hall of The Elysian Hotel was abuzz with the clinking of crystal glasses and the murmurs of North Ford’s elite, gathered for the Rossi-Moretti family gala. Under the shimmering chandelier
POV:
I, Isabella Rossi, felt the weight of my family's legacy more heavily than ever
POV:Tonight wasn’t just a celebration but the night my life would change forever. As the eldest daughter of the Rossi empire, our business partnership with the Morettis was cemented in one condition: my impending marriage to Alessandro Moretti, the formidable heir of the Moretti dynasty.
POV: I had only met Alessandro a handful of times before tonight, each encounter charged with the unspoken tension of an arranged alliance rather than love. Standing near the grand marble staircase, his gaze finally met mine, sharp and calculating yet unexpectedly hesitant. Across the room, Keira Miller, my fierce and loyal best friend, kept a watchful eye her presence of comfort amid the swirling uncertainties.
POV: As the evening drifted into a delicate dance of introductions and toasts, Alessandro took me aside away from the gleaming crowd.

ISABELLA'S POV :I, Isabella Rossi, felt the weight of my family's legacy more heavily than ever tonight wasn’t just a celebration but the night my life would change forever.
CONTINUE POV:As the eldest daughter of the Rossi empire, our business partnership with the Morettis was cemented in one condition
My impending marriage to Alessandro Moretti, the formidable heir of the Moretti dynasty.
I had only met Alessandro a handful of times before tonight
Each encounter charged with the unspoken tension of an arranged alliance rather than love. Standing near the grand marble staircase, his gaze finally met mine, sharp and calculating yet unexpectedly hesitant
Across the room, Keira Miller, my fierce and loyal best friend, kept a watchful eye her presence of comfort amid the swirling uncertainties.
As the evening drifted into a delicate dance of introductions and toasts, Alessandro took me aside away from the gleaming crowd.
Alessandro Moretti
Isabella
He began, his voice low and earnest
Alessandro Moretti
this arrangement it's for the future of our families, but I want you to know, I’m willing to find our own path through it.
His words unsettled and intrigued me was there more to his intent than duty?
Caught between expectations and my own heart, I realized this marriage might just be the beginning of an unexpected partnership, one that could change the course of not just our families, but of us both.
Despite the confines of our arranged roles, perhaps here in North Ford, under the crystal chandelier’s glow, something genuine could bloom.
Later that evening, after the applause and polite chatter had somewhat subsided, Alessandro found me on the balcony overlooking the glistening cityscape of North Ford. The cool night air was a stark contrast to the heated expectations inside. We stood side by side, momentarily free from the weight of our family names and the intricate dance of our arranged marriage.
Alessandro Moretti
I never imagined the skyline could look so peaceful
Alessandro murmured, eyes fixed on the horizon where city lights flickered like distant stars. I nodded, feeling a rare quietness in his presence, a break from the battles we were both poised to face in this alliance.
Isabella Rossi
This could be more than a contract, more than just business and duty.
Isabella Rossi
Maybe there’s room for us to learn, to trust, even to care
He turned towards me, a tentative smile softening his usual guarded expression.
Alessandro Moretti
Isabella, if we are to be bound by our family and duty, let’s also promise to be allies, nothing else.
In that moment, beneath the vast North Ford sky, something shifted between us from strangers bound by obligation to companions stepping carefully into the unknown. Keira’s voice echoed faintly in my mind, reminding me that I wasn’t alone in this journey.
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides

I hope you liked my story
The fragile truce Alessandro and I had built was soon tested. In the midst of the gala's brilliance, Keira took it upon herself to confront Alessandro in the grand ballroom. Her eyes burned with determination, her stance unyielding as she faced the powerful heir.
Keira Miller
Alessandro(she called)
She began, her voice steady
Keira Miller
Isabella isn’t just a bargaining chip for your family’s ambitions
Keira Miller
If you want to keep this alliance respectable, you need to treat her with the respect she deserves.
The room seemed to hush, the tension palpable between the two, like a riveting dance of power and protection.
Alessandro met her gaze, his expression unreadable but respectful.
Alessandro Moretti
Keira, I assure you, I intend to honor the agreement.
Alessandro Moretti
But you must understand there’s more at stake than just respect. This is about our families futures
Keira’s eyes didn’t waver
Keira Miller
And Isabella’s future matters too. Don’t forget that
Her words hung heavy in the air as guests resumed their conversations, leaving an unmistakable message: this arranged marriage would be anything but ordinary.
The gala’s echoes still hung in the halls as Alessandro, Keira, and I stepped into the cool North Ford night, the city lights casting long shadows on the pavement. Something unspoken knit us together a shared resolve born from the complex realities of our lives entwined by family, duty, and an unlikely friendship.
Alessandro Moretti
Tonight was more than appearances
Alessandro said quietly as we walked.
Alessandro Moretti
We need to set up new terms not just between our families, but for ourselves too
I grasped the gravity in his tone and smiled, the tension easing into a fragile hope.
Keira’s sharp eyes caught mine, a silent reassurance that she would stand by me through whatever storms were coming. Together, we plotted ways to navigate the intricacies of business, loyalty, and burgeoning feelings knowing that this arranged marriage might be redefined by our courage to rewrite the story.
The city’s pulse seemed to reflect the possibilities ahead complex, uncertain, yet undeniably alive. And as the three of us forged this new path, I realized that sometimes, even the most unlikely alliances could lead to unexpected strength and unity.
