Chapter 9
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(nervously) W..what are you doing here..?
Arabella Forte (past)
(looking at her seriously with calmness) Whom were you speaking to the phone about our engagement..? I heard your whole conversation.. So I hope you tell me the truth..
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(laughs evilly)
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(smirks) So what if you hear the whole conversation..?
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(goes near Bella and folds her hands) Maybe Grandpa didn't tell you, so let me tell you, Miss. Arabella Forte.. (smirks)
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(smirks evilly) Brother Max already has someone in his heart.. And they were childhood sweethearts ... So even if you get engaged to him, there's no chance for you to be with him..
Arabella Forte (past)
Huh...W.. What...(can't believe her words) 💔💔
Arabella Forte (past)
(bitter smile) You're k.. kidding.. W..with...me.. ri.. right..? (gulps in shock)
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
Kidding..? (shrugs) Why would I do that...?
Arabella Forte (past)
(stumbles) Who..who..is she..? (looks at her with teary eyes)
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(coldly) ❄️Athena Provenza, that recently debuted singer.... Brother Max's one and only woman..
Arabella Forte (past)
A..Athena.. (tears flowing)
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(says with disdain) Yes.. A woman like you doesn't deserve my brother..
Arabella Forte (past)
(grips her dress) You.. you're lying..
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(pissed off) What..?
Arabella Forte (past)
(wipes off her tears)
Arabella Forte (past)
(says firmly, looks into her eyes) You're lying..
Arabella Forte (past)
(serious yet calm voice) If he really had anyone in his life, he wouldn't think of getting engaged to me...
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(smirks) Heh.. He got engaged with you because he was forced by grandpa..
Arabella Forte (past)
(shocked) * Forced..? *
Arabella Forte (past)
(heart throbs 💔)
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
(coldly) ❄️Since you got to know everything, then it's better if you stay away from him .. And some advice to you, go and cancel this engagement. No one is going to accept you in this Lombardy family.
Arabella Forte (past)
(looks at her) (determined) I won't..
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
💢💢What..?
Arabella Forte (past)
I won't.. How can I trust your words..? I will not leave him nor cancel this engagement.. I will make him fall in love with me..
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
Hahahahah..🤣🤣.. Sorry...hahaha..🤣🤣.. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.. Go on, try it..
(points at her chest) ❄️You will be the one to lose everything in the end..
Arabella Forte (past)
(looks at her without any emotion)
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
❄️ Fine, do whatever you want.. Chase him how much ever you want.. But, I'm sure you won't get anything by begging for his love or attention...
Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
❄️❄️ Keep that in mind.. (Went away)
Arabella Forte (past)
(standing still, looking down)
Arabella stood there without any emotion. Her heart was throbbing badly. She couldn't believe the words she had heard.
Arabella Forte (past)
(clench her fist) * I'm not going to give up. I'm going to fight for my love..*
Arabella Forte (past)
(left the balcony area and went towards the hall room)
Arabella Forte (past)
(Went towards her uncle) Uncle..
Alfonso Forte (FL's uncle)
Yes, dear..
Arabella Forte (past)
(says tiredly) Can we get going..?
Alfonso Forte (FL's uncle)
(looks at his watch) Yes, let's go.. It's quite late..
Alfonso Forte (FL's uncle)
(Stood up from his seat) Then, I will take my leave, Mr. Lombardy..
Abraham Lombardy (ML's grandfather)
(pats Bella's head) Visit again, dear. (smiles)
Arabella Forte (past)
(faint smile) 😊 I will..
Alfonso Forte (FL's uncle)
(looks at Bella) 🤨 * What happened to her..? *
Cecilia Forte (FL's cousin)/ Ceci
(whispers to Bella) Did something happen, sissy ?
Arabella Forte (past)
😅No.. No..Nothing..
Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)

Marco Lombardy (ML's cousin)
Cecilia Forte (FL's cousin)/ Ceci

Isla Lombardy (ML's cousin)
