Chapter 2

"Mother, you slapped me just because i said the truth?" She wasn't that surprised that she was slapped by her mother. She must have been aware of their relationship.

"Shut that mouth of yours before i seal it up." Mrs Davidson roared in anger while she pulled up Chloe from the floor.

"I'm guessing you knew of their affair. No?" She wouldn't be surprised if she responded positively. She wonder what kind of mother would allow her youngest daughter to have an affair with her eldest daughter's fiancee.

"If i did and so what!" She replied in anger. She cared less about what happened. All she wanted was the best for Chloe and she wouldn't let anyone get in her way.

"Enough!" Mr Davidson finally exploded as he was tired of the crying and bickering. He felt so ashamed for such a thing to happen.

"Father please say something okay. I know you all hate me but please don't let her take him away from me." Isabella pleaded with her father admist tears. She hoped her father didn't support them too.

"Let's all go home and settle this quickly." He said to them. He gestured to Noah to leave with his parents. He turned to the guests and apologized for the commotion and immediately dismissed them.

At the Davison's family house

"Did you have to put on a show there, huh, Isabella Davidson!" Mr Davidson yelled at her immediately they got into the house. He usually called her by her full name whenever he was mad at her. He was trying to keep his cool at the party but he couldn't keep it in any longer.

"Is this what you have to say, huh, dad?" Despite all that happened, it seemed like she was the one at fault and not Chloe. She was the one who needed Justice and not the other way round.

"Sister, please don't be mad at me okay. I didn't mean to fall in love with Noah. Besides you can't force him to love you." Chloe kept on bawling and pleading with her. She looked so pitiful and fragile like she was the victim.

"If you were in my shoes, would you forgive me huh? Answer me!" How could she ask for forgiveness when she doesn't know how it feels to be betrayed.

"Sister...i...umm... well..." So was stunned by what she asked that she didn't know how to respond.

"That's what i thought." She knew Chloe wouldn't be able to answer the question. So pathetic of her. Can you please let Chloe be. Noah fell in love with Chloe so you can't blame her or do you want to live in a loveless marriage?" Mrs Davidson reprimanded Isabella thoroughly. She couldn't stand the way she was scolding her precious daughter.

"Wow! Your daughter? Then who am i. Am i your daughter because I'm sure that you're not my family. You don't treat me like i belong to this family. Ever since i was a little girl, you all just hated me for no just reason. Have i done something wrong. Huh, come on tell me if I'm your daughter or not!" She could no longer remain calm as she used to. All the emotions she had been holding in suddenly erupted.

"Ella, what are you saying. Of course you're our daughter. We only do what's best for you." Mr Davidson signalled his wife to quickly put herself in order lest she spills what she's not supposed to.

"Dad, did you just say what's best for me? So treating me like a slave is what's best for me, huh?" Despite everything that had happened that night, she didn't she'd a single year. Yes! She was heart broken but she was too tired of life to shed a year 

"Young lady, watch your tone." Mr Davidson was trying to keep his calm but hearing her speak to him with such attitude really made him erupt.

"Really, am i wrong? Remember that karma would always come around to bite back. Everything you all do to me is..." Before she could utter her last statement, a resounding slap echoed in the room. 'pak.'

"I already told you to watch your tone didn't I?" He slapped her so hard that the impact made her fall hard in the cold mable floor. Blood oozed from the side of her lips.

"Chloe pretended to help her up but she snorted inwardly.

After helping her up, she said, "Sister, father didn't mean to hit you okay. He only did that in a fit if anger. Maybe you should apologize."

Removing Chloe's hand from hers, she said, "I don't need your help and i won't apologize for saying the truth."

"Sister, don't be stubborn okay. Apologize to dad and everything would be fine." Chloe tried convincing her but in real sense she meant otherwise.

"I'm moving out!" Isabella suddenly blurted out.
