Author's POV"What took you so long?"Grace asked when Bella came back."You are looking pale Bella... Are you okay?""Yes... But i think i am feeling sleepy because of medicines i took..."Bella lied with assuring smile."We are done... Let's go home and then you can sleep comfortably..."Grace replied.Bella gulped down the lumb in her throat and followed Grace blinking back her blurry vision. Tight feeling around her chest was making her suffocate. "What took you so long honey?"Anamika asked."It was crowded"Bella answered."Okay let's go and don't stress yourself... It's not good for your health..."She said while opening the car door for her. "We'll deal with Alex... You don't have to worry about him...

Bella's POVI don't want this to be real. It's unbearable. My whole life was a lie. I started seeing hope of truth in Alex but he did the same. Everything inside me broke.Why people hate me, why do they always deceive me, why the abandon me? Am i that unlucky. My mind drifted back to the moment where Valentino met me. Valentino, My real father. "I don't trust you... Why would I trust you?"I asked when he said that he is my real father.My already heavy head started throbbing by his words. I am his daughter, is this even possible? I had no idea how to react on it. He cleared my doubts by showing me DNA tests and pictures of him and my mother. There is no way to deny that my mother was with him. Pictures says it all. It wasn't coincidence that My mother's name and Valentino's daughter's name was same, Amanda. "Why are you telling me this now"I asked refusing to cry. Why life is throwing one after another thing at me for which i am not ready. He eyes softened but hesitancy was
Alexander's POVIt's been almost an hour since Bella has woken up after two days. She is staring into nothing while keeping her hand on her empty belly. Eyes are not even blinking and it's running my blood cold.I was never scared of silence to this extent. I can't gather the courage to stand up from the couch on which i am sitting for two days and go to her. Hold her in my arms and tell her that it's okay. I can't, because she is not okay. She lost her baby for which she was fighting with me. She is in shock.I never wanted it to happen like this. I wanted to tell her that i have changed my mind, that i am ready for the baby but before that she pulled out that file and things took ugly turn.

Valentino tried to make me do things, to get me out of the room but i wasn't in the condition nor in mood. Even if i have agreed to stay with him, i couldn't call him father. I just can't, i need time. I looked at the piles of books and magazines which he gave me to read. Pens and paints with blank paper to entertain myself. Mobile, TV, laptop everything. I didn't touch anything. Today i got periods, telling me that i am no longer pregnant. I couldn't protect my child. I am angry with myself. I should have been careful while running. Sometimes Alexander's words mocks me. 'you are not ready for the child'May be he was right, i was irresponsible. I am missing him but I won't forgive him for whatever he has done. Hiding things, controlling everything and Dominating my life. If he would have accepted our child, things

Bella's POVI looked at the familiar palace while my car entered the gate of familiar palace. My heart tightened when all those happy and bitter memories came back crashing on me. I wiped my sweaty hands on my white dress. It was mandatory to wear white clothes, so i wore what i shopped that night after dinner. It's almost afternoon, i can see people in the garden playing with colors. My eyes unknowingly started looking for that one person but couldn't find him. Part of me got relieved and part of me restless. "Ma'am we have reached"Michael opened the door for me. I got out of the car and tried to control my racing heart. I never thought i will come back here. "You can stay in the car... I'll meet everyone and will come back... I am not going to stay longer."I said but they refused to budge.

Not like i haven't seen her when she first time stepped out from that house and went for a dinner. When she was shopping or when she went to the collage.I was fucking stalking her. Just because I wanted to see her.I didn't disturb her when she was meeting my parents and her sister. I wasn't ready for her to leave which she will do now after seeing me.

He followed me that night, insisting that he will drop me... Just one time. 'just one time' did something to me. It feels like it's all coming to an end. That's what I want right? I want everything to end then why it's bothering me so much. No matter what he says, i can't forgive him so easily. I told him that i need space. It's better if stay away from each other because i can't think straight when he is near me and he haven't contacted me again after that. I guess he is understanding the meaning of space and freedom. Is he real
