Chapter 9 Isabella touched her crimson cheek , staring at Lorenzo with dawning horror .
The Wall Street titan who once showered her with Cartier just struck her all for Sophia .
Its been over for three years , Lorenzos voice cracked with desperation .
Sophia , I swear on everything I am .
Get out .
My voice couldve frozen hell .
Both of you .
Leave this sanctuary and never come back .
The famous Visconti pallor turned ghostly .
But Isabella , her Botox frozen features contorting with rage , grabbed a chair from my consultation area and hurled it at me .
Lorenzo and I barely dodged in time .
Die , you self righteous bitch ! She lunged for a shelf of medicine vials .
Years of martial arts training kicked in .
One precise strike , and she collapsed , clutching herself .
My apologies .
These mountain roads make ones footwork so … unpredictable .
My smile was pure ice .
Ill fucking kill you ! she shrieked .
Something dark flickered in Lorenzos eyes .
He seized her perfectly highlighted hair , his voice dropping to that whisper that once made Fortune 500 CEOS tremble .
Threaten her again , and Ill destroy you so thoroughly , your own mother wont recognize whats left .
Isabellas laugh turned maniacal .
How rich , Lorenzo .
After all our delicious moments together , after every night of- The slap echoed like a gunshot .
Enough ! Why ? Her voice turned venomous .
Scared shell remember how we christened every room in your penthouse ? How you had to bite your lip while- I watched their implosion with the detachment of a surgeon observing tissue decay .
Isabella turned to me , enraged by my composure .
Drop the Mother Teresa act .

Actually , I couldnt care less .
Hes your problem now though that kick mightve damaged your favorite toy .
Lorenzo staggered as if Id gutted him .
I turned toward the door , done with this melodrama .
Lorenzo , Im the only one who truly- Isabellas words dissolved into a primal scream .
Blood bloomed across her Valentino dress where Lorenzo had driven a surgical scalpel .
She crumpled , crimson pooling on my clinic floor .
You poisoned everything , he snarled , transformed into something feral .
You made her hate me .
I warned you what crossing this line would cost .
Isabella dragged herself backward , designer heels scrabbling against hardwood as Lorenzo advanced , scalpel dripping .
Her screams reached me outside .
Against every rational impulse , I went back .
Stop ! For Gods sake , Lorenzo youll spend your life in prison ! He turned , blood spattered and broken .
Had to protect you .
She threatened you .
When he dropped the weapon and reached for me , something ancient and buried made me stay .
His forehead found my shoulder , exhausted .
One last time ? As my arms started to rise , the tactical unit burst in .
They slammed Lorenzo down , cuffs glinting .
Please ! She was going to hold me ! His cry was pure anguish .
The officers tried blocking my approach .
Its okay , I said quietly .
He wont hurt me .
One final embrace might exorcise both our demons .
He shattered in my arms , apologizing through tears , accepting his fate .
The police car disappeared down our winding mountain road , Lorenzos gaze locked on me until the last possible moment .
Marcus emerged from shadows hed called law enforcement after Isabellas first attack .
I thanked him with a nod and walked to our gates , watching red and blue lights fade into Montana darkness .
