Chapter 22

“Isabella.”

Caught off guard, Isabella barely had time to react before Nathan had risen to his feet and strode toward her. His strong, vice–like grip clamped down on her wrist, holding her in place.

Isabella stared at him coldly, her expression detached as though he were a complete stranger. Her distant gaze stabbed at him like a dagger.

“Isabella, why are you in Milan? Didn’t I tell you to stay obediently in the United States?” he demanded angrily.

A mocking smile tugged at Isabella’s lips. He had sent her to the U.S., and now he expected her to comply without question? Did he see her as nothing more than a thoughtless accessory to his life?

Nathan hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. “Even if you wanted to come to Milan, you should have informed me beforehand.”

At that moment, Victoria appeared, stepping forward with a falsely concerned expression. She adopted the tone of an elder Sis, speaking down to Isabella.
