Isabella's POV

"Izzy!" I startled when I heard Christian calling my name out loudly as he entered into my room.

"What's the matter?" I asked in panic but sooner my face turned into a puzzle look when I saw his twinkling eyes.

"You know what?"

"What?"

"My family is coming here day after tomorrow!"

"Day after tomorrow?" I exclaimed as I wasn't prepared to meet them, I mean not yet.

"Yeah." he nodded, smiling down at me. "My sister told me she can't wait to meet you."

"No. She did not tell that."

"She did." Christian stressed, sitting on the bed across me.

"Well.. and they do not know about my pregnancy right?" I asked warily and he sighed softly before shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, yeah. But when they got to know it, I'm sure they would be feeling nothing but very happy for me; For us."

I highly doubt that.

But I resisted the urge of saying it out loud as I forced out a smile and he leaned closer, pecking my lips.

The door suddenly opened widely, revealing Emma and when s

    Isabella's POV "What are you doing with my phone?" I startled when I heard Christian's voice and I looked up and noticed his forehead was creased in confusion and I let out a deep exhale, trying to be calm as I held out his phone. "Your phone kept buzzing with texts by someone whose name is.. Kendall." I told and he promptly grabbed the phone and when he saw the screen, he cursed pinching the bridge of his nose. I bit my inner cheek and remained quiet, waiting for him to speak. "Izzy, this is not-" "What I think?" I completed his sentence, raising my eyebrow. "Is that what you're about to say?" "Yes! If you think I'm cheating on you-" "Did I ever say I think that?" I questioned and he sighed as if he didn't know what to say. "Look Izzy, she's my brother-in-law's sister. She's kind of my friend-" "With benefits?" I questioned in a deadpan voice, crossing my arms over my chest and he sat on the bed across me, running his fingers through his damp hair. "Come on Izzy, you know I

    Isabella's POV I was confused as hell when they all stared at me like I was an alien that escaped from another planet and landed into earth. But the little boy didn't seem to be that shocked as he gave me a small smile and walked past me and went upstairs. And to make the matters worse, the tall girl who had dark hair exclaimed at me."Maria!?" That's when all the gazes averted from me to her. But hold on, isn't that name belongs to Christian's late wife? "Kendall.." the other woman who must be in her mid-thirties and had faint resemblance to Christian, muttered. Oh.. so this is Kendall huh? "What the hell is going on here, Betty?" Christian interjected. "W-Well, is she your girlfriend, Chris?" Betty asked, looking at me and then at my baby bump and Christian nodded with a frown as the two women seemed uncomfortable for no reason. "Kendall, why did you utter Maria's name?" Christian questioned and Kendall looked a bit nervous as she glanced at him and then at me and then back a

    Isabella's POV I felt my head spinning around as whatever she said was too hard to swallow. "Wh-What?" Christian stammered, looking at his sister narrow-eyed. "Where is the proof then?" Betty turned to look at me with a faint smile on her face. "Well, Maria-" Stop calling me Maria. "-have you ever seen any childhood photos of you? Have your parents ever shown them to you?" Betty questioned and Christian and I exchanged glances before I turned to her, answering. "Uh.. recently after a heated arguement, my mom told me that I was adopted from an orphanage." "There you go." she said, waving her hands in the air. "She didn't exactly tell you the truth. But she didn't lie eith-" "Why didn't she tell me that she adopted me from hospital? Why did she say I was an orphan?" I asked and Betty shrugged. "How would I know that? You have to ask your mom about that yourself. " she told. "but to be frank with you.. your mom too was involved in the crime so maybe she didn't want to entirely disc

    Isabella's POV "OH MY GOD!" a voice shrieked, interrupting us and we all turned towards the owner of the voice simultaneously and I instantly realized who it was by observing the familiar facial features of that woman. "Mum!?" Betty called but the old woman's gaze was clearly on me as she stared at me wide-eyed with her jaw on the floor. "Wh-What.." she breathed as if she was trying to make a proper question. "..are you doing here?" "How did you come here?" Christian asked instead, standing up and quickly she turned her gaze towards him. "I called your P.A and he sent over a car to pick me up." she told and frowned at him. "But does it matter now?" She huffed, approaching my direction and her frown deepened when her gaze fell upon my stomach. "Are you Chris' girlf-" "She's your future daughter-in-law.." Christian announced in a quiet tone yet it was too loud enough for everyone to hear and we could hear how enraged he was, by studying his tone. "..Isabella White." "Oh.." she no

    Isabella's POV I took a deep breath, still keeping my eyes shut. "Emma, I want to be alo-" "Mommy!?" My eyes quickly snapped open as I turned to look at Chloe who was.. my daughter and my eyes started to flood with tears as I outstretched my hands, urging her to come and hug me. She instantly ran towards me and hugged me not-so-tightly as she didn't want to hurt the baby and I kissed the top of her head before pulling away. "Mommy.. I want to- are you crying, mommy?" Chloe asked inspecting my face with narrowed eyes and I chuckled, shaking my head. "No Dolly.. it's just sweat, I guess." I said, wiping my dry tears away and she smiled, pointing at the little boy who was standing beside Emma. "He's Ollie. My cousin." She announced and I smiled at the little boy who was looking at me nervously. "Hello Ollie." "Hello." He somehow managed to say. "So mommy, can you play with-" "No Chloe, I'm so tired now. I want to sleep." I lied, because right now I wasn't in the mood to play bu

    Isabella's POV"What the fuck?" Christian yelled, his face flushed with anger as he approached his mom and stared at her with a concerned look while she stood like a statue as if she was deeply stunned by my action.Then he turned around and grabbed my arm. "What the fuck Izzy?""D-Don't you think she deserved it for what she-""But she's my mom! You could've handled it differently!" He hissed, his face twisted into a deep scowl while I was mirroring his expression."But she's insulting your kid's mom!"He sighed, letting me go and I slightly stumbled backward but regained my balance when Emma steadied me from behind."This is why I dislike her." His mother remarked out of the blue and I clenched my jaw, stepping forward."If you utter one more word, I'll send you where your husband is, you cunning bitch!" I spat and heard a few yelps which I already assumed but what I didn't guess was, that Christian would speak instead of his mom."And I'll send you back where you came, if you utter

    Isabella's POV 4 Months Later I got up from my single-size bed when the back pain got even worse than yesterday. I gripped the back of my hip, slowly massaging it for a few seconds and I let out a loud sigh when I realized it didn't ease my pain at all. Then I stood up and my eyes instantly met the calendar and when I saw the big red cross mark on today's date, I bit my lower lip not knowing how to feel. I knew I marked it because today was my pay day, but another reason why today oddly different from other dates was.. it's been four months since I've broken up with Christian. When I fought with him, I ain't aware that running away from him, only brought me closer to its end. I mean, I was dead long ago. I was just breathing only for this baby. I'll be giving birth anytime soon and after that, I knew I'd start questioning about my existence. But I was hoping that she, my baby, would bring out the happiness I lost. And.. If I said, I wasn't missing him I'd be effing lying. I real

    Isabella's POV I swallowed the lump in my throat and squeezed my eyes shut, pretending to think what I heard was a hallucination. I felt the footsteps behind me and I tightened the hold on the phone, not knowing what to do. Please No God! Please No! I freaking beg you! "Is-Is this you, Izzy?" I heard him whisper against my ear which sent a shiver down my spine and I quickly turned around, taking a step back and that's when I noticed.. Christian's face that I've not seen for like ages. His green eyes widened and his lips parted when he met my gaze but much to my surprise, I didn't seem to be as shocked or pleased as he was, right now. Maybe it was because I realized that not only he ruined my whole life but my whole day too. Or maybe it was because of the thought of him and Mia having sex, while I was trying to keep my head above the water just for the baby he produced. But for some strange reason, his face seemed like a crumpled tissue; His green eyes held a resigned sadness and

    Emma Davis-Wilson"How long will it take?" I asked, glancing at Hayden through the mirror who was drying my hair with the hair dryer and he shrugged, keeping his full focus on my hair."No idea. Maybe an hour?" He deadpanned and I grunted in response and was about to stand up but he gripped my shoulder and made me sit back on the vanity chair again. "Don't be rushed. Today your hair is more wet than you, so it needs time."I gave him a flat look before speaking. "I'm starving here and you're trying to make some lame-ass jokes.""I stated merely a fact, Em." Hayden said, giving me an amused glance through the mirror while blowing out my hair. "You look cute when you're mad by the way.""So you're implying I'm not cute when I'm not mad, huh?" I asked and he shrugged, setting the dryer down on the table."I guess. Because as far as I know, you've always been mad with me." he stated and I shot him a mock glare."Because you've always been an asshole.""Ouch. that hurts." he placed his hand

    Emma Davis-Wilson When my brain processed what Hayden said, I literally started panicking.Why on earth did Christian disclose this which no one had brought up for more than a year?I cleared my throat, trying not to meet Hayden's eyes. "I- um, I should head back. I'm.. tired."Before I could leave, Hayden gripped my elbow making me stop. "No. You can't leave unless you tell me everything.""Wh-What's there to tell?" I played dumb, shrugging my shoulders and Hayden let out a groan in response."Em, why won't you let me know you? Why can't you just open up to me?"I stared up at him and let out a soft sigh, shaking my head faintly. "It's not that easy..""But it's not hard either! I mean, you confessed all of this to Christian but you couldn't even share a single detail of your life to me ever since I've known you? How is this even fair?""Because you've never understood me even in the slightest!" I admitted bluntly and he seemed taken aback as he looked at me with furrowed brows."Wh

    Emma Davis 2 years laterI scrolled through my Instagram and when I tapped on his profile, I noticed there was a round circle around his profile picture which meant that he had posted a new story.I instantly viewed it and my eyebrows shot up in surprise when he posted a picture of mine that was taken almost two years ago, in which I was obviously fake-aweing while showing my ring finger to the camera which had a giant diamond ring wrapped around it. And he has written 'Happy Birthday Em! Imy.' below that picture and didn't even tag me.Bruh!Eventhough his wish was so bland, my heart warmed as he has still remembered my birthday and never forgot to post it every year eventhough there were so many things that have changed over the period.Contrary to what I said above, I was still engaged to Hayden and he began the wedding plans three months ago when I told him I finally graduated.I didn't mind when he didn't attend my graduation ceremony. And neither did he mind that I was still no

    Emma Davis The worst feeling, in my opinion, was when your life was falling apart and you couldn't do anything but pretend everything was fine as an Oscar award winner.I've had a lot of plans to do on Bella's big day but screwing my own life and being a broken-hearted maid of honour, wasn't one of them.I stood behind Bella with an impassive face, trying my best not to cry while she was confessing her vows to Christian. You may assume I was tearing up because my cousin's finally marrying the love of her life, but no, to be frank, I couldn't even be able to be happy for her, No matter how much I tried. All I wanted to do was, throw up because I was starting to worry that she'd get played too. That even the person you'd be ready to take a bullet for, would pull the trigger.And to make my situation worse, I caught Hayden glancing at my way now and then and it was really hard not to make an eye contact with him as he was straight ahead of me, standing a few feet away from Christian.Ha

    Emma Davis "You've got any photo of him?" Hayden asked with a clenched jaw and I was suddenly fazed by his raw anger."No.. why?" I answered honestly as Kyle and I have actually never taken a single decent picture together as he hated being photographed and I never forced him either."How long have you guys been together?""Why do you care-""Just fucking tell me!"I glanced around at the people but they didn't seem to acknowledge our conversation as all of them were too busy to care about anything but Bella."Hayden, we're at church." I hissed and his jaw hardened as if he couldn't care less but nevertheless, he nodded at the entrance."Catch me outside." with that he stormed out and I sighed inaudibly before following him behind."Now tell me. How long have you been dating?" Hayden questioned, the minute we stepped out of the church."It's almost five months." I stated and crossed my arms over my chest. "But what's up with you actually?""You met him at your town?" He asked, comple

    Emma Davis Wilson I waved one last time at Bella who was waving back at me through the window of her car.Chloe and Haley drifted off an hour ago and one was sleeping on Bella's lap while the other was in Christian's arms.Christian was totally wasted just like Hayden was, so he called his driver to drive them back home.Hayden has walked out with Christian to send them off and they were still talking, leaning on the car as if they didn't spend the half of the day, conversing with each other.Just as if they heard my thoughts, Christian nodded at Hayden and got into the back seat with Haley in his arms.I glanced around the place and it was a total mess, yet I didn't mind cleaning it all night because it was all worth it.It's been awhile since I've had fun like I had today and suddenly all the memories from the good old days flooded my mind.I smiled faintly, walking around the counter and grabbed the dirty dishes and put them into the sink.Then I put on the gloves, deciding to was

    Emma Davis I unpacked the luggage that was lying on the bed when a pair of arms encircled my waist.I looked at Kyle over my shoulder and smiled as he pecked my neck and then my cheek. "Thankyou."I turned around, raising my eye brow at him. "For what?"He shrugged. "For everything. Especially, for respecting my boundaries."I smiled faintly as I, to be honest, didn't even know why I was agreeing to everything he said but maybe my heart was saying he was the right one and I was just listening to my heart.A couple of hours ago, we reached London and he refused to stay with me at Christian's mansion or the guest-house as he found awkward to stay together in a house with people he barely knew except me. So I agreed to let him stay at the hotel and I'd meet him once in a while, and he didn't mind much about my leaving as he had some business arrangements with some people in London too which would keep him occupied.My phone rang, interrupting my train of thoughts and we both looked at t

    ♡ Emma Davis Wilson ♡I called Hayden for the twelfth time but as per usual it went straight to voice mail.I peeked a glance at the living room and Bella and Christian were having a serious conversation which would be, doubtlessly, about the positions they'd be planning to try on tonight.But I silently thanked God as they still didn't any sneaking feeling, though Bella came to the kitchen a couple of minutes ago, asking if I needed any help and I just dismissed her telling that all I was planning to make was, tea and some popcorn.I tried to give Hayden a call one last time but when I heard the "Hi, you've reached Hayden. Leave a message." I placed my phone down on the counter, sighing heavily.What if I was in danger? He knew I wouldn't call him continuously unless it was serious, but yet this scumbag let his ego win.Way to go, Hayden!I began pouring the tea to the cups from the teapot, trying to think of ways to kill him that'd make his death more painful. Speaking of which, the

He was the one who made me forget about the guy who I once thought would be the love of my life.I let out a heavy sigh when Hayden's face popped into my head. To be honest, after I came back home from London a few months back, I haven't had any contact with him till now.And the most important thing was, Christian has found Bella two months ago and they both have welcomed their second daughter, Haley Roberts.Then he proposed to her right after she gave birth and by the end of this month, we were going to celebrate their big day.
