ISABELLA'S POV:

It's been two days since I came here, and I'm truly enjoying the company of my family. They all spend so much time with me, making sure I feel welcomed. Today, I explored the entire mansion it's so massive, it feels like a world of its own.

I also requested Luc to teach me shooting, and guess what? He didn't say no, but mentioned he'd have to ask Dad first. That's still a win for me! I'll ask Dad after dinner and see what he says.

Matt even showed me clips of his management projects. His work is so impressive! Watching him so passionate about what he does made me happy.

Now, I'm feeling exhausted and very sleepy. Time to rest.

THIRD PERSON POV:

Two hours later...

Matt knocked on Isabella's door, but there was no response. He knocked again, and then a third time. Panic started to creep in as he feared something might have happened to her. Without wasting any time, he pushed the door open.

The scene in front of him caught him off guard. Isabella was fast asleep, her face relaxed and peaceful, as though she had forgotten all her worries. Relief washed over him, and a smile made its way to his lips.

He gently called her name, and she stirred, waking up after a few moments.

"Come on, Bella. Let's head downstairs for dinner." He said softly.

Twenty minutes later, they joined the rest of the family for dinner. After everyone settled down in the hall post-dinner, Isabella walked over to her father and sat beside him. She surprised Leonardo by holding his hand. He masked his shock well but couldn't hide the small smile that crept onto his face.

She rested her forehead on his shoulder.

"Dad, I want to ask you something?" She said softly.

Leonardo stiffened slightly, fear creeping in. Was she going to ask about why she hadn't been with them all these years? He braced himself and hummed in acknowledgment.

"Dad, I want to learn shooting. Can I learn it from Luc? Only if you allow it." She asked, her tone laced with hope.

The entire room went silent, shocked at her sudden request. Andreano, however, smiled proudly. He was glad she wanted to learn self-defense.

Leonardo composed himself. "Yes, my baby, you can learn. I don't have any problem with it."

Her face lit up. "Thank you so much, Dad! You're the best dad in the world. I love you so much, Papa!"

Leonardo's eyes filled with tears. Overwhelmed, he nodded, his emotions threatening to spill over. The room filled with smiles as everyone shared in this precious moment.

She turned to Luc. "Now that Papa has given me permission, will you teach me shooting?"

Luc grinned. "Yes, baby, I'll teach you. But we'll start tomorrow. For now, it's time to sleep, okay?"
