Twisted Ties of Love

And she hadn't really done anything, simply hired a man with her money.

The man she hired was lan, a man forged in the same malicious mold as her adversaries, capable of making Myra, Ron, and Fredric taste the bitterness of their own medicine.

Knowing Fredric was addicted to gambling, Izabella had lan take him to the gambling den, the bigger the losses, the better.

The money was well spent. The Salotti family tasted the retribution they deserved. The damned died, the paralyzed were paralyzed, and the rest were probably on the verge of insanity.

But Izabella was not heartless enough to destroy a child. She arranged for a good, loving family to adopt him and gave them a good sum of money.

For the child, this was the best possible outcome. If he had grown up under the influence of such a family, he might have become a menace when he grew up.

Izabella looked at her hands and suddenly felt dirty. The first thing she did when she got home was wash her hands with soap. She looked in the mirror and said, "Being good is hard, but if there's a next life, I hope you can be a good person, and I hope God will treat you kindly."

Sometimes Izabella felt as if Bell hadn't disappeared. She tried to ignore it, but memories of her would still surface in her mind, heavy and oppressive. Now, that feeling was finally gone.

Fredric had died three days ago, but something happened before that which led to his death.

His hands were cut off, he had no money for treatment, and he couldn't take care of himself. His wounds got infected, which led to the rapid spread of rabies, and within two days, he was dead from the pain. Although Izabella didn't say anything, Casey could tell that something was up. Izabella was always independent, and Casey's biggest fear was that she would try to handle things on her own without telling him when he wasn't around. He called Toby.

From Toby, he learned that Izabella's parents were on their way to J City by train.

Izabella's parents were long dead, and the ones who were rushing to come were the relatives of "Bell".

Casey had investigated Bell before and knew what kind of people her family were. Taking advantage of their own daughter to get money was considered light by their standards.

If Izabella wanted to handle them on her own, he would let her. These pests were easy to crush, but he was worried that Izabella might be too soft on them.

So when Izabella hired lan, Casey had already arranged for someone to steal their money on the train.

Casey found out that Bell's brother was addicted to gambling, so he simply got in touch with several large gambling dens in J City, and while he was at it, he contacted the man Izabella had hired, lan, and told him to do a thorough job.

So what followed was a group of thugs luring Myra and Ron into a factory, where they were either beaten or insulted, and not given enough food.

Myra, who was always a chatterbox, became paralyzed. No one believed what she said as she was able to talk, and when she became paralyzed, she couldn't even speak clearly anymore.

But all of this was still not enough.

"Toby, get someone to do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"Cut off Fredric's hands for me. He's

a menace and I want him dead. don't want him anywhere near

veline

Izabella. I don't want her eyes to be tainted by the sight of him." S

There were many dark sides to this world, and he didn't want Izabella to

see them. He would protect her as

much as he could, but if Izabella much as

wanted to face these things, he

could stand by her side.

But if Izabella knew about his "dirty" methods, would she still accept him?Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

After hanging up the call, Casey had a vague image in his mind of cutting off Fredric's hands. He felt like he had done this before. It was strangely familiar.

As if he had cut off someone's hand before.

Why did he feel familiar with this kind of thing?

After a ten minute break, Casey was called back to continue filming. The movie was already half done, and the rest needed to be filmed in a desert.

Time flew by during the filming, but who knew when they would come back from the desert. Casey decided to take a leave of absence.

He had been out for a month and he missed Izabella terribly.

Seeing him so dedicated to his work at ordinary times, the director thought he was going home to study the script and adjust his mood, so he readily agreed. Casey had packed his bags and left them in the set. As soon as the director agreed, he changed clothes, grabbed his two suitcases and left.

The plane ticket was booked the day before, and the car was prepared yesterday. Casey put his luggage in the trunk and rushed to the airport, not even calling his assistant to come with him. He told him to go

back on his own.

Seeing Casey's hurried figure, the director couldn't help but wonder, had he planned this all along?

Casey arrived at the airport just in time, but ran into his fans. Although they recognized him, he managed to outrun them.

He didn't want to waste a moment. He just wanted to get back to Izabella and surprise her.

Once on the plane and seated, Casey ordered a glass of water. As he was drinking, he saw a figure. He didn't know him, but a name popped into his head. Lucas Salotti.
