Isabella sneered at him, "How dare I? Is that what you ask, Simon?""I'm your Father, Isabella. I raised you, and you can threaten me this way? Talk to me this way?"Isabella didn't say anything in response but simply looked at him. He heaved out a breath and turned to Eileen. She was so sweet and disciplined and didn't stress out his mind or heart. Not like Isabella. Where Eileen was a sweet child that made him feel like a proud father, Isabella wore him out and made him feel less than a man. She barely even regarded him as a father,She reminded him so much of her mother. She too had an uncanny way of making him feel useless."I really don't have to deal with all this." Isabella muttered shaking her head and then turning on her father again, "You want me so badly to treat you like my father. All you do is remind me that you're my father, then act like it. Stop trying to display just how much of a cheat you were and are. Be responsible for once. Do the right thing by me and my mother

All the while, during the exchange between Isabella and her father, Eileen had remained quiet. Usually, she liked to see herself as perceptive. Knowing when to speak up in a situation and when to keep quiet. And for the longest time she had chosen to keep quiet in the face of Isabella's arrogance.Instead she plotted and planned, terribly happy with the way the plan was going in her head. As she saw it, Isabella was terribly stubborn, and would irritate Simon to no need, which she was pleased about. The, more she irritated their father, the fewer possessions Simon would want to give to her when he died. In the end, everything would be hers.At least that's how Eileen saw it.The idea so pleased Eileen's heart that she was willing to act out the role of self-abasement, so alas she spoke up."Daddy, don't be angry with Isabella. Like I said, if she doesn't see me as family, it's fine. What matters is that you see me and that you and my mother are happy. Isabella's choices are hers and I

"What are you talking about?" Eileen asked, holding tighter onto Isabella when Isabella reached to unclasp her hand from her wrist."my ancestors were soldiers. My grandfather would die before he knelt before any man. And here you are, kneeling before me pitifully. How could we be kin, with you acting this way? Grandfather would be ashamed. So please, for the sake of my grandfather, you can stop being such a doll face and stand up." Isabella said, the last line of her statement laced with sarcasm.She turned to Simon when she finished speaking and continued, "Although, what can one expect when she has a father such as the one she has? Not much of a soldier, not much of a fighter. Not even Ronan, and how I could ever want such people in my life is beyond me. Not sure how I couldn't see it all before." she said, self-deprecatingly.Ronan stared at her completely short of words.Drawing her eyes away from the both of them, her mood completely sour, she finally pushed Eileen away, and wip

"My Endorsement has been cut off? For what? Because of whom?" Isabella asked totally confused. She tried to think of what could have caused it, but nothing came to her mind,"That's the thing. The reason is still a bit buggy, I'm still trying to understand. And as for whim, I'm hearing it's because of a woman called Eileen Walsh.The sneer came automatically into Isabella's features,"That one," Isabella said, venom slipping into her words.August had been working with Isabella for three years. She considered her a sweetheart, a joy to be around and work it. It was rare to hear Isabella talk about anyone with that tone, so it really had her thinking."why? Do you know her?"Know her? Isabella thought, her anger coming back,"You have no idea." Isabella muttered and let out a breath, "August. We can't let Eileen get away with this." Isabella said passionately, "We'll take her to court if we have to.""Bella, are you sure about this?" August asked, suddenly worried about her behavior. T
