Hi..
.
.
Bella got down from the car and went inside the house.
.
In Vento house.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(saw Bella )
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
Bella !
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(looks at her) Yes.. aunty..
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(Went towards her and stroke her cheeks)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
Did everything go well ?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(nods) Hm..
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(cups her cheeks) Listen, Bella.. No matter what happens, we are there to support you. There are so many other boys on this earth, so don’t be upset. I know that you have loved him since your teenage years, but you should also know that love can’t be forced on someone.
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(tears dripping)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
He doesn’t even know what kind of a gem he lost. You are a beautiful gem that brother-in-law and sis-in-law left to us. And it is our duty to protect that gem. (smiles)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(hugs her and starts crying)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(strokes her hair) Shh shh.. everything’s alright, everything’s fine.
Alfredo came inside the house and saw Bella crying by hugging Sylvia.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(feeling bad for Bella)
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(Went towards them)
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(strokes Bella’s hair)
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(crying badly)
After a while, Sylvia took Bella to her room. Bella laid on the bed and closed her eyes in tiredness. Sylvia switched off the light in her room and went out.
.
.
In the living room..
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
(saw Sylvia coming)
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(sat beside Alfredo)
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Today, I thought of saying everything to Bella about the past of her parents. But after seeing her condition, I thought it wouldn’t be much good to say right now.
Sylvia Vento (FL's aunt)
(puts head on Alfredo’s shoulder) I pray that everything will be fine.
Alfredo Vento (FL's uncle)
Sigh… I hope so..

At night
Abram and Carlo got in their private jet for the departure of their business trip.
..
In the Langley mansion.
In the study..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(working on his laptop and going through some documents)
KNOCK !! KNOCK !!
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ Come in..
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(Went inside)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(looks up) Mom..?
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(closed the door and went towards Matt)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(sat on the couch) I heard from dad that Bella broke the engagement today..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ Hm..
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(looks at Matt with a concerned face) Matt, Are you really happy about this decision ?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ Yes.. Why won’t I ? At last, I got rid of that woman.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Um..Actually, in my opinion, I think she got rid of you.. You didn’t get rid of her.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ Mom, didn’t you hate her too..? Why a sudden change of mind..?
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(frowns) I’ve never hated her. It’s just that I didn’t like her much because she was not focused on her life. She was a kind of clumsy girl with no sense of humour. But I liked her in one way that she never disrespected elders.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
My hatred rose towards her when she got engaged with you. Because I knew from the start that you had feelings for Artemis, and i thought that Bella got engaged with you even after knowing about you and Artemis, but I was wrong. She never knew until now.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(bitter smile) I regret treating her badly..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ What’s the use of regretting now..? I don’t think that it’s important to regret your actions towards her since she deserves it.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Won’t you ever regret in the future..?
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️❄️ Mom, I’ve never regretted any decisions taken until now.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(scoff) Let’s see.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️❄️ (rolls his eyes)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
Sometimes, I feel that you both were forced due to a mere promise of elders..
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(grits his teeth in anger) ❄️ Mom, that woman wasn’t forced. I was the one who was forced.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(dark voice) ❄️ First, she forced me to get engaged with her and then forced her feelings onto me. If she wasn’t the granddaughter of Grandpa’s friend, I would have killed her by now..
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(serious) Matt, now you both are separated, so there’s no need for you to spout these nonsense about killing her..
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(serious) I just came here to tell you that don’t try to take the land in the X district by force. I knew what you were planning, but I hope you will stop the ideas. Since you both are not bounded together anymore.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
I don’t think you have any right on that land. And if she doesn’t want to give you, you should accept her choice and look for another land.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
❄️ Mom, don’t try to interfere with my business matters.
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
❄️ I think instead of going to the company, it’s better for you to stay at home and learn some manners and etiquette to speak and behave with elders and other people.
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(clench his fist)
Lyra Langley (ML's mom)
(Went out of the study room)
Massimiliano Langley (ML)/ Matt
(closed his laptop harshly)💢💢❄️❄️ Everything is messed up because of that fùçķìñĝ bìťçĥ..

After a few days..
In M&C company..
It’s a company where Bella works as an intern..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(pouring coffee in the mug)
Co-worker 1:- Is it true that the company will be sold out ?
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
(adds milk and sugar to it) * Company is being sold out..? *
Co-worker 2 :- Even I hear from the manager too.. I’m not sure who will take over this company..
Ariana Vento (FL)/ Bella
