For the past eleven years, she has been dead, and he thought he had finally been able to move on from his first everything. Now she’s back and ready to take her rightful throne back. Isabella: I sacrificed my entire life to protect him and our children. I gave all of it up. Spending eleven years away from my other half and my beautiful babies was the hardest thing I have ever had to do and one of my biggest mistakes. But that is the way of living the life we had. You make sacrifices for the ones you love deeply. When I got the call from my daughter that my husband was thrown in jail for something that he didn’t even do, I couldn’t take it. It was my breaking point, and I decided to go back home to Amalfi. I was expecting to come home and run back into his arms. How wrong was I to believe it was going to be a fairytale. My life never even has been one. Adriel: Eleven painful and lonely years had gone by without my Izzy, and I was tired of feeling so empty. I wanted a chance to be happy not just for myself but for my children. I got an invitation to a high school reunion at a close old friend’s house. And so I thought, ‘Eh, why the hell not go?’ Going there was an instant regret, I thought, at least until I was in front of my childhood best friend, Anastasia Ascari. Sparks flew, and I felt things I hadn’t felt in a long time. Lust. Attraction. Chemistry. That was all until the universe decided to send me to hell by having Izzy right on our front doorstep while I had Anastasia over.
