Chapter 1
In the early hours of an unexpected morning, the first rays of the sun were just filtering into the depths of the forest. Isabella woke up, feeling the tranquility and coolness in the air. As she got out of bed and gently opened the curtains, a sense of peace and calmness filled the room.
The room was illuminated by the daylight streaming in from a large window. The reflections of the light on the curtains danced on the walls, infusing every corner with serenity and warmth.
Isabella took in the room, focusing her gaze on the objects and details around her. Various paintings adorned the walls, depicting serene sea views and majestic mountains with colorful brushstrokes. Each painting reflected a sense of serenity and grandeur.
In one corner of the bedroom, there was a table filled with art supplies—brushes, canvases, and paints neatly arranged. The vibrant tubes and palette mirrored the liveliness of artistic creativity. This table was an expression of Isabella's inner world and artistic passion.
A gentle floral fragrance wafted through the room, harmoniously blending with the fresh and vibrant energy of the space. A bouquet of flowers, placed in a vase on the table, appeared like a painting of colors in motion. The scents completed the atmosphere of the room, nourishing Isabella's spirit.
In this atmosphere of tranquility, Isabella's desires and thoughts lay hidden in the depths. The room where creativity and peace merged was a reflection of her inner world.
As a knock on the door interrupted the stillness, Isabella sighed softly and rubbed her eyes. It was early in the morning, and she didn't want her sleep to be disturbed. Knowing that people she lived with were aware that her door was always locked and that open doors bothered her, she unlocked the door and was met with the smiling face of a girl.
"It's only six in the morning," Isabella said with a slight grumble. The girl, undeterred by Isabella's crankiness, looked at her watch and giggled.
"Well, it's already morning. Come on, get ready and come downstairs," the girl insisted. Isabella leaned her head against the door, looking at the sunrays shining on her face. "I want to sleep," she murmured.
"Isabella Rivera, you're coming down right now, or I'll have to drag you out of that room my way," the girl threatened in a teasing manner. Sofia, without caring about Isabella's tired eyes, planted a kiss on her cheek and headed towards the stairs.
Isabella chuckled softly and returned to her room, still feeling drowsy. She knew Sofia's tactics to get her moving. Sofia's energy could always make her laugh and get her going.
She started getting ready at a leisurely pace, feeling ready to embrace the adventures the day would bring since the moment she woke up, thanks to Sofia's enthusiastic encouragement. Instead of waiting for Sofia to come downstairs immediately, she decided to enjoy a more leisurely morning routine.
The friendship between Isabella and Sofia was a perfect balance of their personalities. Sofia's exuberance and Isabella's contemplative nature complemented each other flawlessly.
When she finally came downstairs, she saw Sofia sipping her coffee. "You're twenty minutes late," Sofia said teasingly.
"I hate punctuality, Sofi," Bella retorted. She pulled a chair and sat down, taking a sip of her freshly brewed coffee. Closing her eyes, she savored the moment. Even though she had stayed up all night lost among her paintings, she knew Sofia wouldn't allow her to sleep.
"Nobody can beat you when it comes to making coffee," Bella said with a smile. "I knew you kept me around just for my coffee-making skills."
Bella nodded and smiled gratefully. The banter between the two friends energized them and set the tone for an energetic start to the day. Sofia's passion for coffee and Bella's artistic world blended together to create enjoyable moments.
As Bella sipped her coffee, Sofia playfully asked her, "Is Marco coming today?"
Bella gave her friend a stern look and replied, "Yes, he is. But you won't be giving him those 'I want to throw you in bed' looks."
Sofia shrugged in response, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. "But I definitely want to throw him in bed," she said, laughing. Bella had an interest in photography and especially enjoyed working with male subjects. Her captivating photos drew attention from many.
One day, Sofia approached Bella with a smile and said, "I want to be the one to photograph Marco this time."
Bella looked at her friend with slight surprise and said in a warning tone, "Sofi."
Ignoring Bella's reaction, Sofia persisted, looking like a child asking for candy from her mother. "Please, Bell," she said stubbornly, "let me do the shoot."
Bella smiled and rolled her eyes, trying to understand the reason behind Sofia's insistence. Eventually, with an eye roll, she gave in, "Okay, you can do it."
Sofia's face lit up instantly, and she hugged Bella, thanking her profusely. Together, they made their way to the location of the shoot.
Their studios were located on a rooftop in the city center. Large windows let in the natural light, brightening up the rooms. The wooden floors added a natural and warm touch to the studios.
Bella's photography studio was equipped with large white backdrops. The walls were adorned with various art pieces and photographs, creating a vibrant ambiance. The equipment, including the camera and lighting systems, were neatly arranged.
Sofia's art gallery, on the other hand, was a spacious area filled with large display windows. The walls were decorated with colorful paintings, each piece thoughtfully showcased. The furniture had a modern and stylish vibe.
The wide and spacious atmosphere of the rooftop provided the perfect space for Bella and Sofia to indulge in their creativity and execute unique projects. Being in the city center made it easily accessible to art enthusiasts and potential clients.
As Bella was lost in her drawings, Sofia approached her. While Bella was dedicated to her drawings, showcasing them was Sofia's expertise. Sofia, with her wild hair, called out to Bella, "Take yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy your free time, Bella. I'll take care of Marco."
Bella, amused by Sofia's loud voice from inside, approached and sat beside her friend. Sofia's spirited energy and support always gave her strength. This time, Bella would allow herself to take a break from dealing with Marco and focus on her own hobbies.
Bella, expressing her gratitude, thanked Sofia and took a coffee break in the kitchen area. She prepared a cup of coffee and settled into a comfortable chair in a quiet corner. Taking a deep breath, she savored the steam rising from her cup. In her mind, she planned to focus on her drawings and bask in the peaceful moment.
Sofia's callouts from inside the room interrupted Bella's quiet break, but she chose not to go in and check.
A deep and loud voice, mixed with Sofia's screeching laughter, echoed from inside. This could only be Sofia. Bella couldn't help but wonder how a woman could be so fond of a man and yet drive him crazy like this. But in the meantime, the sound of laughter and things falling from inside made her laugh too.
As she listened to the sounds from inside, Bella's face showed.
"Nobody can beat you when it comes to making coffee," Bella said with a laugh. "I knew you kept me around just for my coffee-making skills."
Bella nodded and smiled. This playful banter between the two friends set the tone for an energetic start to the day. Sofia's passion for coffee and Bella's artistic world allowed them to enjoy pleasant moments together.
As Bella sipped her coffee, she laughed at Sofia's mischievous question. "Is Marco coming today?" Sofia asked with a sly smile.

As she listened to the sounds from inside, Bella's face showed amusement and curiosity. Suddenly, the noise stopped, and Sofia's voice was heard again. She sounded angry this time.
When Sofia's angry voice reached Bella's ears, she was surprised. "What did you do again, Sofia?" she asked, approaching her friend with concern and sitting beside her. Sofia shook her head with a fierce expression.
"This time, I didn't do anything. He kissed me, and then he ran away," she said angrily. Bella's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected Marco to have the courage to express his feelings for Sofia like that. The sudden kiss and escape seemed to have disappointed Sofia.
Bella gently touched Sofia's shoulder, understanding her emotions. "I'm sorry, Sofia. Marco's behavior may feel hurtful to you. Understanding his feelings might be difficult for him. Maybe he needs some time to figure things out."
Sofia nodded, her eyes still showing a hint of anger. "Even if he needs time, isn't it childish of him to do such a thing? He kissed me and then ran away. I don't trust him anymore."
Bella understood her friend's disappointment. She squeezed Sofia's hand to show support. "Sofia, someone who values you should treat you better. Maybe Marco is still trying to understand his own feelings. In the end, you'll be hurt if you don't keep your distance from him."
Sofia looked at Bella as if she were looking at a fool. "He's the man of my dreams, and he'll definitely be mine in the end. Why should I give up on him, especially after he kissed me?"
"You never learn. If you end up crying, we'll fight about it," Bella replied with a smile.
