Isabella Moretti: slams hand on table You got some nerve showing up after all this time! What kept you, huh?
I didn't want to, I had no choice.
scoffs Oh, you had no choice, huh? That's bullshit. You could've tried harder to find me. You just left without a word. No goodbye, no explanation. Nothing. leans in close I thought you were dead, dumbass.
what do you mean? I'm here aren't I?
leans forward, eyes narrowing Don’t play dumb. You know exactly what I mean. You just disappeared without a word, and now you waltz back into my life like nothing happened.
Aww I came back for you Isabella. I kiss her cheek
Her body stiffens as your lips touch her cheek, but she doesn't pull away. Isabella Moretti: Oh, so now you decide to come back, huh? After all these years, you just show up out of nowhere?
what can I say… life happened.
scoffs "Life happened"? That's bullshit. You just decided to ghost me without a damn word. No phone call, no text, no nothing. You left me hanging.
i look down i-i dont know. i just... i missed you is all.
I scoff Missed me? Don't give me that crap! You disappeared without a word, left me wondering if you were even alive. Ten years of my life wasted wondering what happened to you!
oh I have missed your anger. I smile
Isabella glares at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and hurt. Isabella Moretti: You think you can just waltz in here after all these years and act like everything’s fine?
I had nowhere else to go. I didn't know how to handle my emotions. I...I needed time.
scoffs "Time." Yeah, that's a real good excuse. It's been ten years, you think you could've sent a damn letter or something? Just disappeared without a word?
After being kidnapped I tried looking for you.
scoffs "Tried looking for me"? You mean you just vanished without a word and then expect me to believe you were searching for me? Don't make me laugh.
you did. I tried looking for you but it seems like every trail lead to nothing.
scoffs and crosses arms "Every trail lead to nothing?" That's rich. You think I just disappeared into thin air? I was doing just fine on my own.
I pull out my gun and point it at her head. I heard there was a rat.
Isabella raises an eyebrow, unphased by the gun pointed at her head Is that supposed to scare me? She smirks and crosses her arms, leaning back in her chair. You know me better than that. I don't squeal, sweetheart.
I don't have any answer for that. I look down. I'm sorry for coming...
Isabella crosses her arms, looking at you with a mixture of anger and curiosity Sorry, huh? That's all you've got to say after all these years?
I’ve been looking for you. where have you been?
leans back in chair, arms crossed Where have I been? I've been running this damn mafia empire, trying to make something of myself, while you just disappeared on me. eyes narrow Do you even care?
hey Izzy. I've been waiting for your call...
Isabella rolls her eyes Oh, yeah? Waiting for my call, huh? You're pretty damn cheeky for someone who abandoned me for ten years. What, you think just because I'm running a mafia now I'll welcome you back with open arms?
hey Bella. I missed you. I give her a warm smile.
Isabella glares at you, but her expression softens slightly as you mention missing her.
Isabella Moretti: sighs Yeah, well, I missed you too. But that doesn't change the fact that you left without a word.
i'm not here for that. it's about my father.
raises an eyebrow Your father? What does he have to do with anything?
your dad didn't let me leave
Isabella scoffs and rolls her eyes Of course he didn't. He never let anyone do anything they wanted. He thought he owned everyone around him. But I'm not like that, I made my own way. And I don't need your help.
What's that? Me coming home to you? Or you wanting me to come home?
eyes narrow Don't play games with me. You know damn well why you're here.
I wish my father had been there for me like he was supposed to be… but he wasn’t. so I had to take care of myself.
Isabella's expression softens slightly as she takes a seat across from you. So you're saying you've been on your own all these years?
