Her acceptance wasn’t necessary, but it was still something I would like.
I nodded politely to what she said, my unease still lingering.
I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Isabella's curiosity than met the eye.
Was it that she was suspicious of my motives for being with her son?
“It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave. I wish you a nice night, Angela.” Isabella wished me good night and, after placing her cup in the sink, exited the kitchen.
Immediately she left, and I slumped in my seat.
There was just something about her that set my nerves on fire, but I didn’t know what.
I could tell she wasn’t fond of me, and although I wasn’t sure of what exactly she knew about the circumstances surrounding my relationship with her son, I hoped her impression of me would change and improve over time.
Chapter 26
Dante
AsIsatinmy office, contemplating the recent events surrounding the leak of our relationship, a sense of satisfaction washed over me.
Taking a day off to spend it with Angela and Dominic had done well for my stress level and had allowed me to calm down and think rationally.
I had taken swift and decisive action to ensure that the scandal would die down, and it seemed that my efforts had paid off.
The leak was all but dead.
I leaned back in my chair, a small smile playing on my lips.
Dealing with the tabloids and the paparazzi was nothing new to me.
Over the years, I perfected my skills in handling such situations, knowing how to manipulate the media to my advantage.
This time was no different.
I had personally reached out to influential contacts within the media industry, using my network and resources to suppress the leaked information.
I knew which strings to pull and which favors to call in.
Through a combination of legal pressure, negotiation, and even some discreet financial incentives, I effectively silenced the tabloids and ensured that the leak would fade away.
It was not a matter of simply covering up the truth or sweeping things under the rug.
No, I had taken a more calculated approach.
I had strategically released a series of carefully curated stories and information, diverting attention away from the relationship leak and onto more favorable topics.
I had given the media something else to focus on, something that would captivate their attention and shift the narrative.
But even as I celebrated this small victory, a lingering thought remained in my mind.
Who had leaked the information in the first place?
The timing and manner of the leak seemed too coincidental, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it than met the eye.
I made a mental note to investigate further, to dig deeper into the origins of the leak and uncover the truth behind it.
I picked up my phone and dialed Vito's number, reminding him to keep his eyes and ears peeled out for any information and find any possible leads regarding the leak.
