Isabella was a vision that commanded attention wherever she went. Her olive skin glowed softly, kissed by the sun of distant lands, while her eyes held a deep, earthy richness reminiscent of the darkest coffee beans. Framed by long, jet-black hair that cascaded in waves, she exuded an air of mystery and allure.

In her tailored attire, she embodied elegance with a hint of rebelliousness. Whether adorned in the sleek lines of a fitted blazer and tailored pants or the flowing elegance of a vibrant dress, her fashion sense mirrored her multifaceted nature-part sophistication, part audacity.

The grace in her movements was almost hypnotic. With every step, her heels struck the ground like a confident melody, echoing her unwavering determination. There was an underlying strength in her posture, a silent assurance that she could navigate any situation thrown her way.

Her face, a canvas of stories untold, bore the subtlest hint of defiance in the curve of her smile, a testament to the battles she had fought and the victories she had won. Yet, there was an undeniable warmth in her gaze, a spark of kindness that contrasted with the shadows of her clandestine life.

Isabella's aura was a blend of contrasting worlds-the fiery spirit of her Latino heritage intertwined with the sophistication of the European elegance she effortlessly carried. Her beauty wasn't just skin deep; it emanated from a depth of character, from the strength of her resolve and the resilience that shaped her every action.

Venice held a special place in her heart, a city where her beauty wasn't just admired but celebrated-a place where she felt a sense of belonging amidst the glistening canals and timeless architecture. Yet, even in the chilly streets of Stockholm, where the contrast between her heritage and surroundings was stark, she held her own, a beacon of strength and allure in the most unexpected of settings.All Rights Reserved

Pearl Girl by LADrobot

I promised to retrieve a family heirloom but have instead encountered its owner Isabella. If I can help her break the riddle that's bound her to the bracelet, I get to keep it.

Out of this world's beauty, I will always be captivated by her aura. As we attempt to hold hands only to pass through one another once more.

Her flustered voice trailing towards the next room leaves me alone with my thoughts as I reveal my best-kept secret, "I guess I'm just lucky." All rights reserved.

The Light Through His Darkness by toxic_sweetie

Justin Antonio Martínez, a wealthy and powerful businessman, the owner of the Martínez Fashion Industry. His arrogance and unrelenting ambition was well known to the prying eyes of the media. As Justin searches for the perfect woman to hire as his wife, he meets Isabella, a woman who unexpectedly challenges the emptiness of his carefully controlled life. ✦✦✦✦ "You're relentless, wife." I muttered, running a hand over my face. "And who's a good boy?" She teased, tilting her head at me like she was addressing a misbehaving puppy. I smirked but kept my mouth shut. Silence seemed like the best defense when she was like this-mocking, playful and completely unrelenting. Her smirk only grew at my refusal to engage. She leaned in closer, her voice softening to a coo. "Is the good boy angry?" That was it. Restraint? Gone. Before I knew it, my hand was at the back of her neck, pulling her closer. Her eyes widened as her breath caught, her face mere inches from mine. "Justin." She whispered, barely audible, her hand gripping mine like she wasn't sure if she wanted to push me away or pull me closer. "Yes, wife?" I asked, my gaze flicking between her wide eyes and her parted lips. "Justin." She said again, pouting this time, her cheeks turning a shade of red that I couldn't ignore. "Hmm?" I couldn't help myself. I leaned in, pressing a quick, firm kiss to her soft lips. The way her eyes widened and her blush deepened-it was priceless. She froze for a moment, like she couldn't believe what just happened. I released her neck but kept hold of her hand, guiding it downward. "I've got your good boy right here." I teased, my voice low as I placed her hand over the hard bulge in my sweatpants. She looked so flustered, so completely off her game. And damn it, she was tempting. Too tempting.

Those pumps of his, were slow, careful, and while each push of his finger was every bit sensual to my being, I swore not to fall into that calm gaze he bore. "Luca.." My voice wavered, fingers digging into his arm. "Isabella" Followed his voice, breath fanning onto my skin. The words which were to be emitted turned heavy on my tongue, for I was only left meeting that gaze of his. "Do you want me to stop?" I managed a nod, pushing back the gasp hung in my throat all through the time those grey eyes begat my profile. He tugged my legs even higher, bringing it to rest on his arms, and in the second my body came flat on the wall, his fingers were sure to push in and outside my area. And at once he stopped. My perspired figure left onlooking his comported one, those eyes of his ensured lingering on my profile. "I'd rather it be the last time I catch my own wife sending such sensation to the lot of other men" Followed his words. With that, he had pushed back on his feet, straightening his jacket, soon turning away from me. "I'll be waiting for you in the halls" Those were the words I heard right before he walked out, leaving me lingering in such perplexity which had gotten the most of my being. And while I struggled to find my own breath, I was left muddled on whoever this beast was whom I had gotten married to. ~~~ Strung on a chain of events, Isabella Campbell finds herself waddling through a rocky path, one which was to have her marred, or perhaps made.

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 Isabella moved to Italy with her best friend Aaliyah which was the best decision she has made for the longest time. She became a doctor and also won the Olympics in Figure Skating as a member of the Italian Olympic team. She wanted a new start from all that happened and that was what she got until everything changed when her ex-boyfriend, Axel Garcia came walking back into her life. But that's not the only thing he brought into her life. He's now the Don of the American and Latin American Mafia like he always wanted to be. But something was missing that that something was living in Italy far away from him and doesn't want anything to do with him after what he did. Axel knew he wanted Isabella back and he also knew he will get her back no matter what. He'll do anything to get her back. "You broke me! You broke my heart into many pieces," I yelled into his face. Just looking at him makes me want to cry because of all the memories that were coming back. "Pequeño Zorra, (little fox) I'm sorry-" I cut him off. "Don't call me like that. I'm not yours anymore. You lost me and everything that we had," I spat. I decided I had enough of him and his presence, so I grabbed my bag and was about to walk out of the apartment when I felt a strong grip on my wrist which turned me around to stand in front of Axel, inches away from his face. "You know that isn't true. I still love you. I never stopped loving you, amor. I promise you that I will fix this," he whispered and stared at me with his beautiful emerald green eyes. "Well, the feeling isn't mutual," I got out of his hold and walked out of the door without sparing the last glance at him. Before closing the door, I decided to say something. "Don't promise something you can't keep. We both know how that ended," with that I closed the door and walked away.

The Flower Longed Death by jezxzica

She longed death to her sorrow Death to all of her woes She longed death of her present To return to once known She longed death of her secrets For they feast upon her She longed death to her virtue It was help no longer She longed to forget this death That echo pains her much But death reaps all he calls for And she he longs to touch ------------------------------------------------------------------- Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected life in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've been looking at it since I cannot hold eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Word Count: 147,000 This is the first book of a series (it might end with the second who knows).

Whispers Between the Stars. by inknpap3r

Beneath a sky blanketed in the velvet embrace of night, a soft wind stirred the leaves of ancient oaks, carrying with it the scent of rain yet to fall. In the quiet town of Evershore, where the ocean's rhythmic murmur brushed against the cliffs like a lover's sigh, there lived a woman named Isabella. She had spent most of her life in the gentle comfort of routine, her days flowing like the tide-predictable, safe, and calm. Yet beneath the surface of her carefully constructed world, there was a yearning. It was as if her heart had once known a great love, a love that had slipped away like the sand between her fingers. She didn't know why it felt this way; only that something deep within her had been left unsatisfied, a part of her soul forever seeking something just out of reach. One evening, as the sun dipped low and painted the sky in shades of gold and rose, Isabella stood at the edge of the cliff that overlooked the vast, infinite ocean. The wind, carrying the promise of rain, whispered through her hair, and for the first time in years, she allowed herself to dream of something more than what she had. There was a restlessness in her, a quiet understanding that her life had been a quiet prelude to something she could not yet name. It was then that she saw him. A figure emerged from the mist that clung to the water's edge, a man whose presence seemed to defy time and space. His dark hair tousled by the wind, his gaze intense yet distant, as though he had come from a place beyond the horizon, a world Isabella had never known but somehow remembered. His eyes met hers-strangers' eyes, but not unfamiliar-and something inside her stirred, as though a forgotten part of her had just been awakened. The world held its breath. The sea sighed. And Isabella knew, with a certainty she could not explain, that her life was about to change forever.
