Chapter 21
Issabella’s POV
I woke up I’m feeling lighter than I usually felt. My body is not as tender as ot used to feel in the mlrbing ehen I wake up, my senses was well aware lf Alessandro’s presence because lf my wolf purred ehen she perceived Alessandro’s scent. I think he had slept beside me last night but I am not sure because I really cannot remember the events of the previous night, my mind had blacked out alongside my body.
My eyes searched the room, it screams male dominance. The curtains and paints were a mixture of grey and black. I stood up from the bed as I try to inspect the room but as I was about to make my way to the bathroom, a maid walks in and she seemed super friendly. “Hello, ma’am” she said smiling at me.
“Good mor… good morning” I stuttered a bit a little bit unsure if it was still morning or if I had overslept.
The lady kept on smiling, “good morning miss Isabella”
She said stretching thd bag she held over to me “it is 10 AM in the morning and the bag contains your toiletries and some outfits you can change into”
I stared at her a little bit confused “Sir Alessandro had ordered for these things to be be delivered to you since you would be needing them” she said c learning my thoughts.
I took a glance at what is inside the bag “thank you so much” I said to her
“You do not have to thank me, ma’am. Sir Alessandro got them himseif but he had to handle some matter downstairs so he asked me to deliver them to you” she said smiling warmly.
“Well, thank you for bringing it to me then” a little bit of laughter escaped my lips as I continued to stare at the bag.
“Breakfast is ready” she broke the silence “you can come down when you’re done or if you’d be needing any specisl request you can order for it so I have it prepared before you come down for breakfast, ma’am ” she said again, her habds were now intertwined behind her back and I wondered why she needed to add ma’am at the end lf every sentence.
“Call me Isabella” I said
“I can’t do that ma’am, you are now my boss and I can’t call you by your name” she said again “would you be needing anything else ma’am?” She spoke up again, still adding the ma’am at the end of the sentence.
I shook my head “no, that will be all for now” I said and then I watched her take her leave but not after she had taken a bow.
This treatment, everything here seems different. I want to say I feel like I’m being treated like a princess but I wouldn’t jump into that right away but this treatment is more than anything I have ever experienced. Octavia’s face briefly comes to mind and I remember how she had tormented my life all through my time in hell's pit, making my life a living hell.

Alessandro’s POV
It has been two hours since I sent the maid to take Isabella’s supplied upstairs. I would have gone myself but I needed to speak to Carlos concerning the tightening the security and recruiting more men.
I have been waiting for her to come downstairs because I wanted us to eat breakfast together but it is 12pm now sbd there was still no sign of Isabella. Not ready to allow my thoughts consume me, I made my way upstairs to chrck what might be holding her in the room for that long.
I opened the door and came in sight with a sleeping Isabella. I watched her features closely to be sure she was still alive and I saw that she was breathing just fine, she had even had a change of clothes. She is currently putting on the outfit I had gotten her.
I wanted to leave her alone but the thought of her empty tummy made me change my mind so I tapped her lightly and then I eyes fluttered open. “Heyy” she sat up adjusting the duvet over her body.
“How are you?” I asked a little bit concerned “you have been asleep for long” I stated.
“I tried to find my way to the kitchen but I keit on making the wrong turn and then I just decided to come back until you show up or the maid shows up” she said
My eyes roamed her body, I like the dress on her. She looked more relaxed than the first time when I had met her at hells pit or even yesterday when she arrived here.
“You would have used the phone” I said softly pointing to the landline at the corner of the bed, her eyes widened a little bit indicating that she had not take note of it before now.
“I didn’t know” she said slowly “maybe next time” she said again tryung to avoid my gaze.
I am trying to do everything within my power not to take her right here and now, I could feel the heat radiating from
my skin with every movement she makes and it is killing me internskky.
I reached for the landline, pressing a button before I place it on my ear while I watch her intently “can you break the food to my room?” I said into the phone and then dropped it still staring at her, the proximity of our bodies is really close and she is neither of us is trying to move back.
“Why don’t we go downstairs instead, so you’d show me around” she stated
“Thst is a good idea but we can always do that some other time, just allow the food come to you this time around since you have already missed breakfast” I said staring deep into her eyes while she tucks her hair behind her ear looking away.
Knock knock
“Well the food is here already” I announced curling my lips in a smile.
