"Enough of lies Isabell, or can I say Sophia? I know all your secrets now. You've been using me from the start, playing me for my family's money and power. You never loved me, you only loved what I could give you," John lamented, his eyes filled with emotions with the scene in front of him.Isabella's voice cracked as she tried to convince John of her love. "That's not true, John. I love you, I love your kindness, your heart... I love everything about you. Please, don't say that," Isabella explained with her eyes filled with tears. 
John's expression only hardened with his eyes cold and unforgiving."You're a master manipulator, Isabella. You've played me like a fool and I won't fall for it anymore," he screamed.With a heavy heart, John turned to walk away leaving Isabella devastated.

　　"Hey, Emily, why are you standing out here alone?" Isabelle asked, noticing the distant look in Emily's eyes.


　　Emily shrugged, her voice laced with a hint of bitterness. "I just wanted some fresh air, I guess. I didn't feel like being around people." She responded.


　　John's eyes met Emily's and for a moment, they just stared at each other but then Emily looked away and John let out a soft smile to himself thinking that maybe Emily was backing off from her threatening behavior.


　　The three of them entered the car with John driving, Isabelle beside him and Emily in the backseat. The atmosphere was tense but John was determined to make the most of the situation.
