But Isabela had no choice. She needed the job, and she was determined not to let Olivia break her. She would not allow this cruel woman to have power over her. Little did Olivia know, Isabela was playing a much longer game.
Chapter 3: The Plan
For weeks, Isabela worked tirelessly under Olivia’s supervision. She endured the harsh comments, the unreasonable demands, and the humiliating treatment, all while keeping a calm exterior. But beneath that calm was a woman with a purpose. Isabela had a plan—a quiet, calculated plan that would unfold in stages.
She spent her days studying Olivia’s habits, learning her routines, and watching her interactions with Don Ricardo. She noticed the way Olivia would speak to her husband, always controlling, always manipulating him, never allowing him to make a decision without her input. Don Ricardo, a man who had built his fortune from the ground up, seemed to be entirely under her control. But there was something more troubling lurking beneath the surface.
Isabela learned that Don Ricardo was not the perfect husband he appeared to be. He had a secret—a past that was hidden from everyone, even from Olivia. Isabela, with her sharp instincts, started to piece together the truth. She uncovered subtle clues—discreet mentions of meetings with shady business partners, late-night phone calls, and strange discrepancies in the family’s financial records. The pieces of the puzzle were starting to come together.
