Monday.

I know very well that I made a mistake with Isabella by cheating on her with her cousin, but she's the one I love and have always loved. When she left that day, I felt like shit because I lost the woman I loved and still love. I fought hard to become what I am today. I own a company in the United States, and at just twenty-two, I became a CEO. Furthermore, I thought it would be easy to have her for myself, since she's always been crazy about me. But knowing that she has someone else fills me with hatred. Is it the son of a bitch? That Tom guy? If it's him, I'll kill him. When she's sad, I'll console her. My dear Isabella, you will still be mine.

I've been in this damn city for five days, and only today have I managed to locate her. She has become such a beautiful woman that her perfect body will still be mine. She's mine and always has been. I'm going to watch her and find out who the guy she's interested in is. Right now, I'm in the hotel. After that humiliation, I came straight here. I look at my laptop in front of me. Nobody knows, but I'm an excellent hacker. I'm going to hack her cell phone. I want to see her messages. Likewise, I want to see everything.

Anger and jealousy consume me as I think about the possibility of Isabella with another man. Who does he think he is? His boldness will be his undoing. I'll find out every detail of her life, every message exchanged, and every step she takes. Isabella will be mine again, no matter what I have to do to make it happen.

While the hacking software works, my mind rages with thoughts of revenge and possession. I won't allow anyone to come between us. Isabella needs to understand that no one can love her like I do. And if she doesn't come back to me out of love, she'll come back out of fear.

I smile mischievously when I realize that I've managed to get into her phone. I start going through all her messages, one by one, looking at every detail of her life. Until a name catches my eye.

"Who is Alessio? "I ask myself, already irritated.

I open his messages, and, as I read, a burning anger consumes me. Who was this son of a bitch? The messages reveal a man who not only protects her, but also seems to have deep control over her. A powerful, influential man who makes her feel safe.

Every message exchanged between them is a punch in the gut; every word of affection and concern makes me want to destroy everything around me. He doesn't just want her; he has her. And that's unacceptable.

'' Damn you. '' I growl at the laptop screen, my mind boiling with thoughts of hatred and revenge. ''Who do you think you are, Alessio? You think you can steal what's mine?

Isabella was mine before Alessio came into your life. She belongs to me, and no one is going to change that. My breathing quickens as I plan my next steps. If he thinks he can take me on, he's sorely mistaken. I'm going to find out everything about him-every weakness, every vulnerable spot. I'm going to rip him out of her life and make him pay for every second he dared to think he could have her.

My eyes fixate on the screen, where I see Alessio's last message to Isabella, an affectionate and possessive expression that makes me even angrier.

My blood is boiling, and I start searching the internet for this Alessio. It only takes me a few minutes to find basic information about him. I'm surprised to see that he's a CEO, a technology entrepreneur, considered the richest man in the world, with several companies spread across many countries. I tried to find out more about his personal life, whether he had a family, but I couldn't find anything. It's as if the rest of things didn't exist.

"Mysterious, huh? "I mutter, increasingly frustrated. Alessio has power and influence, but it seems he also knows very well how to protect his privacy. There are no family photos; there is nothing about his childhood or personal life. Just an impeccable façade of business success.

That won't stop me. If he thinks he can hide everything from me, he's sorely mistaken. I'm going to investigate every dark corner of the internet, hire detectives, whatever it takes. This game is just beginning, and I won't stop until I destroy this man and get Isabella back.

My smile widens as I continue my search, each click and discovery fueling my determination even more. Alessio may be powerful, but no one, absolutely no one, is going to take Isabella away from me.
