The bodyguards followed silently behind her, their presence a quiet shield as Isabella walked through the halls of the mall.
But she wasn't looking at the jewelry stores anymore.
She wasn't distracted by the expensive dresses or glowing cosmetics.
Her feet carried her straight straight into an exclusive computer and electronics store.
The moment she stepped inside, something about her changed.
Her wide, innocent brown eyes sharpened.
The soft, shy aura she usually carried faded away like mist.
Instead, her eyes gleamed—bright, focused, full of a quiet kind of confidence that only comes when you truly know something. The kind of power you have when you're in a world where you belong.
The entire store was sleek and high-end, lined with glowing screens, powerful processors, top-grade tech. Only the best. The kind of place where ordinary customers barely dared to enter.
The salespeople noticed her immediately.
