Captive Princess (Sophia) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 14

“Vincent, what are you saying…? You don’t love me?” Isabella’s voice shot up, the color draining from her face. “How is that

possible? You clearly…”

“I apologize for the misunderstanding,” Vincent’s voice was so calm it was cruel. “Back then, my associates‘ daughters were a

nuisance. I needed a shield.”

A shield?!

Isabella’s face turned white as a sheet.

He paused, then continued, “As compensation, I deposited half a million dollars into your account every year. I thought we

had an understanding that it was a transaction.”

“Vincent is famously unattainable. He rejected an Italian princess. Who does she think she is?”

Every word was a knife in Isabella’s heart. Her reputation was everything. She had planned this for three months, of New York’s high society, determined to become Mrs. Marcelli in the most glamorous way possible.

“I heard her mother used her looks to marry into the Romano family. Like mother, like daughter, I suppose. Always

climb the social ladder.”
