It had been a month since he returned from Italy but he couldn't stop thinking about her. Never in his life he thought about any girl. He actually never cared about them other than his mother and grandmother. They all were fake. He believed that no innocence existed in this world. But that girl proved him wrong. He didn't want to accept but deep down he knew love had conquered him.

He got to know from his family that she was ISABELLA SALVATORE, the only girl of Salvatore. He didn't see her after their first encounter. She did a good job in hiding herself from him ,the next day. But he couldn't help but think of that beauty again and again. He couldn't stop himself.

They were coming this weekend to Florida to attend Gala. He never counted days. But he wanted that week to end quickly. He wasn't able to pay attention towards his work.

  It was Saturday morning he was sitting with his family. Salvatore were coming in the evening. "I think Scott are interested in making marriage alliance with Salvatore." His father , George King said. "But their both sons are married." His mother, Eleanor King replied.

"Logan Scott is interested in Isabella. Adriano was telling me. Scott are very much persistent in making her their daughter-in-law." George King informed his family. Zander balled his fists and clenched his jaws.

He never liked Logan Scott. Surely, Logan was a good looking man but he was characterless. He never paid any heed towards Logan's matters. But Isabella with another man, this wasn't settling good with him.

"But Isabella is a innocent and kind girl. Logan doesn't deserve her." His grandmother, Elizabeth King said. "Yes, mother is right . You should have warned Adriano." His mother , Eleanor King told his father. "I had, Adriano is suffering from cancer. He wants to marry her daughter during his life."  George King said. His voice was filled with sadness .

"I want to get married." Zander's statement caught everyone's attention. Are you serious."  Eleanor King squealed in delight. "Mom when I am not serious." He said blankly. "Finally" George King exclaimed. "Have you find the one. Don't tell me she is another model."  His grandmother asked. His whole family was happy.

  "Yes I want to marry Isabella." His face was expressionless and so was his voice. "But......" his father wanted to say something but he cut off in between. "If I marry, I will marry Isabella. Otherwise don't ask me again." This made his family silent at once.

   "You don't have to worry. She will be your wife." His grandfather,Harry King said.

  Harry King knew that he was the exact copy of Harry. And Zander would never take a step until it was necessary. Harry King smiled knowingly. Finally Zander King had fallen in love. Harry King knew how good Zander was in masking his feelings. After all, Harry was the same in his youth. Harry looked at Elizabeth King, his wife lovingly.

"I am soooo happy that I don't know what to do. I always wanted to make Isabella my daughter." His mother, Eleanor proclaimed happily. "Me too"  His grandmother said and both ladies hugged each other. Men chuckled at them.

  When everyone left the living room because of their works. His grandfather came to him. "Good choice Zan.... She is perfect for you."  Harry said and patted Zander's back. He smiled.

  They were waiting at the main door. Salvatore's car came in. He met Alvaro, kissed Angelo and hugged Sienna, Adriano, Sophia and Enzo Salvatore. All the time , he was watching her. She was avoiding to look at him. After greeting the King's , she tried to hide behind Sienna trying to get away from his presence. She was looking like a scared kitten. He smirked at her. He knew she was his.

He was happy after seeing her in a sundress that was covering her body. He never cared for any of his girlfriends clothing but the idea of other men seeing her body made him angry. He shook his head to clear his thoughts.

Everyone went inside but he grabbed he arm and pulled her to a corner. "Welcome baby girl." He said . She gasped in horror. "You didn't greet me." He asked her when she didn't say anything.

  "G--good even-ing"  she stuttered. She tried to get out of his hold but he pulled her more close and kissed her both cheeks. She looked at him shocked. Her face turned red. He was enjoying her reaction. "Don't worry I will control till our marriage."  He left her scared and confused. She took deep breaths to control her heart beat. She didn't know the meaning behind his words. She thought not to ruin her trip thinking about it . She too went inside.
