Isadora’s eyes went wide.
She shot Victor a sharp look, spun on her heel, and made to leave.
Victor strode after her and, without missing a beat, dipped down and swept her off her feet—literally. In one smooth, practiced motion, he hooked an arm beneath her knees and lifted her into his arms.
Isadora flushed as she suddenly found herself airborne.
“What are you doing? Put me down! Everyone’s staring!”
Victor just grinned, utterly unbothered. “Let them stare.”
His gaze softened as he looked at her, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “I’m taking you somewhere special.”
She squirmed and protested. “Put me down, Victor! I can walk on my own.”
But Victor didn’t slow, carrying her straight toward the yellow Lamborghini parked out front of The Ace’s Den.
“If I let you go, you’ll just run away,” he said with a smirk.
Isadora huffed in exasperation.
How did he always know exactly what she was thinking?
Victor set her in the passenger seat and closed the door, then circled around to the driver’s side. Sliding in beside her, he reached over and gently tousled her hair.
“Be good. I’ve got a surprise for you.”
Isadora turned away with a huff, refusing to look at him.
Why did he always have to be so overbearing?
Victor gripped the steering wheel, eyes fixed on the road, and pressed down on the gas. With a deafening roar, the yellow Lamborghini shot off like a rocket.
Half an hour later, they pulled up in front of a breathtaking white skyscraper, its sleek, modern lines soaring sixty-six stories high. The name “ISA Grandeur Hotel” gleamed above the entrance, and the building itself was nothing short of a marvel—every detail was meticulously crafted, an architectural masterpiece that radiated luxury. From a distance, it looked like a brilliant pearl set in the heart of the city.

The readers' comments on the novel: Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)
It takes too long to get to the point. Too much unnecessary in between in all of these books. Too many extra characters, the authors lose the plot after a while....
