Chapter 2 - The Old ObsessionFor years, Isabella had lived inside a fantasy.
She had convinced herself that Marcus Thorne had always belonged to her. Their history had been brief, but in Isabella’s mind, it had become a promise—a destiny stolen from her by Khloe.
When Marcus married Khloe, Isabella smiled for photographs.
She attended their wedding.
She sent expensive gifts.
She pretended to forgive.
But behind closed doors, jealousy became obsession.
“You think marrying Marcus makes you special?” Isabella asked.
Khloe remained calm despite the tension tightening in her chest.
“No. I think marriage means choosing someone and respecting that choice.”
That answer enraged Isabella.
“You took everything from me.”
“I never took anything from you.”
“You took my future.”
Khloe stared at her.
“No, Isabella. You destroyed your own future.”
