Belle's POV

I feel someone holding onto my hand tightly. I open my eyes to see Tony watching me and Tania is behind me. I can see the concern and worry etched on their faces and I wonder what happened.

"Belle?" Tony calls when he notices I am awake. He let go of my hand and sits beside me on the bed. I wonder where I am and why I am here.

I try to remember what happened and it occurs to me that I lost consciousness in the kitchen. I remember I was playing with Lily when I began to feel hungry. I disposed of the food Zayden insisted I ate last night. I took Lily to the kitchen where the maids were cooking and one of them took Lily from me. I was about to sit and wait till the food was ready when I slump to the floor.

I sigh.

"Belle?" Tony calls again. He looks scared. How did he know I am here?

"Tony?" I call and try to sit upright. He helps me up, resting my back on the spring bunk bed.

"How are you feeling?" He asks. Tania comes forward too and hugs me.

"I'm fine", I answer as Tania
