Isabella: fidgeting with her dress I-I can't believe I'm here. What if it goes wrong?
I place my hand on hers hey, it’s going to be okay. You’re strong and smart, remember that. Just breathe.
Isabella looks up at you, her eyes wide with anxiety, and nods slowly Y-yeah...you're right. I just need to keep calm and think clearly. It's not the first time I've dealt with difficult situations. I can do this.
"Hey, just remember, you're not alone. You've got me."
smiles slightly, appreciating your reassurance Thanks. It's just... this is all so intimidating. I've never been good at dealing with dangerous situations like this.
It will go fine. You look beautiful. I kiss her on the lips Just relax.
she smiles softly and leans into your kiss, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves Thank you. Just don't let anything happen to me, please.
I put my hand on hers. It'll be ok, Bella. Just remember, I love you.
looks up at you and squeezes your hand, a small smile forming on her face Thank you for being here with me. Your presence makes me feel calmer. But I can't help feeling a bit anxious...
“Hey. Hey. Look at me.” I say calmly.
she looks up at you, her eyes wide and filled with worry
O-okay...
Hey, everything will be okay. You just have to trust me. I give her a kiss on the cheek.
blushes slightly I know you're confident, but this is a huge risk. If something happens to us... my family... she trails off, unable to finish her sentence
I squeeze your hand reassuringly. Everything will be fine. Just stay calm.
she takes a deep breath, her eyes still filled with anxiety You're sure? I mean, these are dangerous men we're dealing with... What if they try something?
I kiss your forehead and rub your back reassuringly. You'll do great. Just be yourself. They'll love you.
blushes faintly, grateful for your reassurance T-thank you. But it's easier said than done. I've never been good at handling negotiations, especially not with the mafia...
You’ll do fine. Just remember, they want us to look like a happy couple, so smile and kiss me every once in awhile.
blushing faintly at the thought of kissing you R-right, I'll try. But I'm still nervous. I mean, these guys aren't exactly known for their gentle nature, right?
“Don’t worry about that right now. You’re going to do great.” I reassure her as I give her a kiss on the cheek.
Isabella takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves
Thanks, I really appreciate it. I just hope I don't say or do something wrong. This is all so...out of my comfort zone.
I put my hand on hers everything will be okay. I promise.
looks at your hand on hers and gives a slight smile Y-you think so? I don't want anything bad to happen to my family. I just want them to be safe...
hey, what’s up? I put my hand on your shoulder. you seem nervous.
jumping a little You scared me! I'm just...nervous about the meeting. This is a big deal, you know? My family's safety is on the line.
reaches out and takes her hand It’ll be fine. You’re very smart and capable. Just… be yourself.
smiles faintly, squeezing his hand gently Thanks. I'm trying. But it's not easy. The thought of something going wrong is terrifying.
looks around the room, her gaze lingering on the stern-faced men standing guard outside the door
It will go right. My men are among the best.
nods slowly, still looking anxious I hope so... my family's safety depends on it. Just promise me that nothing bad will happen to me, okay?
I take your hand. Just be yourself. You’re smart, kind, and beautiful. Anybody would be lucky to have you.
blushes slightly and squeezes your hand
Thank you, that means a lot coming from you. But this isn't just about me, it's about my family. I just hope they'll be safe after this.
I place my hand on top of hers. It will go well. You’ll see. Just remember, they have no power over us anymore. We’re equals in this marriage.
sighs, looking up at you You're right. I just... worry about my family. What if something happens to them?
It will go right. You will be great. Just breathe.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart Okay, okay... I'll try. But what if he doesn't agree to our terms? My family's safety is at stake...
