Our Mission

Chapter 15

- Isabella's POV -

I limped to the door as a burning sensation ran through my body with every move I made. I knew I was going to be sore from Lorenzo's and I shower sex but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Aside from the pain, I felt butterflies tickle my stomach before they died down, the happiness I felt was now replaced with disappointment to see Darelle outside my door. I should've known it wasn't going to be Lorenzo.

"Lorenzo is gone" Darelle stated as he pushed me aside making his way into my room.

"Did you do what was so important?" He asked as he sat on the edge of my bed eyeing me suspiciously as he saw me limp over to him.

"These period cramps are killing me but to answer your question no, I was too late" I lied.

The truth is I was confused, as much as I wanted to finish this assignment already I felt like something was holding me back. I needed time to just process everything because it was all just going too fast, So I hid the USB in an empty tube of lipstick.

He slowly nodded his head before getting up and walking out the door.

Once he left I practically waddled my way over to the full-length mirror and looked at myself with disgust.

The words Sergio said to me began to replay in my head no matter how hard I tried to push them out. I couldn't help but start comparing myself to a girl I didn't even know. I picked at my body, skin, face, and hair as my mind came up with new insecurities. I couldn't help but question what was wrong with me, what is it that she had that I didn't? 

By the time I stopped picking at myself, my body was covered with red marks just before my vision became blurry. I blinked letting the pooled-up tears run down my face.

I was jealous and hated a girl over a man I couldn't have.

(A few days after Lorenzo, Sergio and Mauricio have left)

I woke up to a knock on my door. I knew exactly who It was this early in the morning, my maid. I got out of my bed to open the door to see a tall beautiful woman smile down at me, showing off her pearly whites.

I opened the door wider allowing her in, she walked past me with a tray that had my usual breakfast and placed it onto my nightstand. The smell of the warm pancakes and bacon-filled my nostrils making my mouth water. I thanked her as she left and began devouring my food like I haven't eaten in days.

I curled the last few pieces of my hair before turning off the curling iron and placing it back down onto the counter. I brought my hands up to each side of my face before splitting two thick strands and clipping them back.

I began on my makeup afterward, quickly applying eyebrow gel, mascara, and bold red lipstick and walking out the bathroom.

I walked over to my bed to text Lorenzo asking if it was fine that I went out. I know that I'm old enough and can go without permission but it was best to do so since I'm now associated with a mafia plus he's out on a business trip meaning anything could happen to me. He replied saying it was fine but I didn't have much time to spend.
