As Isabella continued to keep a close watch on Amelia, she started experiencing strange, unexplainable occurrences. She would wake up in the middle of the night with a feeling of being watched. Objects in her room would move on their own, and she would sometimes hear whispers in her ear.
Isabella tried to brush off these experiences as her imagination running wild, but deep down, she knew there was something more to it. One night, as she was trying to fall asleep, she saw a vision of a palace in her mind. It was an old, grand palace with towering walls and a deep moat.
Suddenly, the vision turned dark, and Isabella saw a group of people in black robes. They were chanting and holding hands around a young girl who was tied to a wooden stake. The girl was screaming, and Isabella recognized her as herself.
In shock, Isabella sat up in bed, realizing that she was reliving a past life. She remembered being a witch in a time where witches were hunted and killed. She had been betrayed by the very people who had promised to protect her and had been burned at the stake in that palace.
Isabella was trembling as she tried to make sense of what had just happened. She knew that the people who had killed her in that past life were long gone, but the memory of that horrific event still haunted her.
As Isabella continued to uncover her past, she discovered that she was not just any ordinary witch, but a powerful one who had been feared by many. She had been born with the ability to control both light and dark magic, and had been seen as a threat by those in power.
Isabella knew that she had to be careful with her newfound knowledge. She couldn't let anyone know about her past or her abilities, especially not Amelia, who would surely use them to her advantage.
But Amelia seemed to be one step ahead of Isabella. She had somehow gotten wind of Isabella's past and was using it to manipulate her. Amelia would send her subtle messages, hinting that she knew about Isabella's powers and that she would expose her if Isabella got in her way.
Isabella was terrified, but she knew that she couldn't let Amelia win. She had to find a way to use her powers to protect herself and her friends. She started practicing her magic in secret, honing her skills and learning new spells.
Finally, the day came when Isabella was able to use her magic to stop Amelia's plans. Amelia had been trying to get Jonathon and Hunter to sign a contract that would give her control over their business, but Isabella was able to use her powers to break the contract and expose Amelia's true intentions.
Amelia was furious, but Isabella wasn't afraid anymore. She had embraced her past and her powers, and she knew that she had the strength to overcome any obstacle. From that day on, Isabella became known as a force to be reckoned with, and no one dared to cross her path.
