The target is not completed yet, I was not going to post. But i can't hurt my true fans, who just wait for my post. So here is the new update. along with a task of 10*+ Votes & 5+ comments.

LEONARDO'S POV:

As Isabella's words echo in my mind, I can't help but feel a pang in my chest. Why would my baby say such a thing? I push the thought aside for now feeding her is my priority. I gently say.

"Isabella, dear, you can order whatever you like to eat. No one will say anything to you, my dear."

She looks up and responds, "I can order for myself?"

"Yes, my baby." I assure her with a smile. "Order whatever you want."

Nodding, she places her order a sandwich and coffee. Seeing her choice makes me smile. She drinks coffee, just like me. Like father, like daughter.

As we eat, I can't stop admiring her. The way she holds her coffee cup, the way she sips it's just like me. My heart swells with a mix of happiness and sadness. After breakfast, we return to the hotel.

Isabella lingers in the hall, as though she wants to say something. I step forward and ask, "What's wrong, Isabella? Do you need something, dear?"

"Yes." She says softly, her voice hesitant.

"Go ahead, dear. Whatever you want, I will provide it."

She takes a deep breath. "Actually, I wanted to ask about my college. It's the middle of the semester, and if I leave with you all, how will I give my exams?"

Before I can respond, Andreano steps in. "Don't worry about that, Bear. I've already handled your transfer. But..."

"But what, Andre?" I ask, a hint of concern in my tone.

"She'll need to return here to complete this semester's exams. They won't allow a mid-semester transfer."

I glance at Isabella. "Is that okay with you, Bella?"

"Yes." She says with a small smile, "But only if it's okay with you all."

"We don't have a problem, dear." I reply gently.

"Great." Andre says. "Since everything's settled, we'll leave in an hour."

The rest of us nod in agreement.

ANDREANO'S POV:

At the restaurant, I couldn't help but notice Isabella standing near the table. She didn't sit or order anything at first. Her words "I'll eat anything you all give me." pierced my heart. What has happened to my Bear? I resolve to uncover the truth, but for now, I'm glad she ordered a sandwich and coffee.

She smiled when the coffee arrived, confirming that she likes it. That small smile gave me hope. Back at the hotel, I made sure everything was sorted out with her college. I feel a sense of relief as she visibly relaxes upon hearing the arrangements.

AURELIO'S POV:

Seeing Isabella hesitate at the restaurant broke my heart. She didn't sit until Dad insisted, and even then, her hesitation spoke volumes. I'll talk to her once she feels comfortable; something is clearly bothering her.

Back at the suite, I watched her closely as Andre explained the college situation. The relief on her face warmed my heart. I'm glad she trusts us enough to rely on us, even if just a little.

THIRD-PERSON POV:

Asthey leave the hotel, Isabella is shocked to see four luxurious cars and adozen bodyguards. They move toward a separate gate at the airport while othersgo another way, confusing Isabella. She follows them silently, only to be leftspeechless at the sight of a private jet.
