“Alright, Billy. I’ll behave like a civilized person.”
A sharp pain went straight through Stephanie’s heart and she recognized it as fear. After having sex, Billy looked and sounded extremely serious. And this wasn’t a good sign.
“You said that the current situation isn’t good for you or for me. Why are you saying this?” Stephanie asked but she kinda knew the answer.
“We can’t continue to behave like this, to play this game... After making love to you for the first time that night...”
“Stop, please… What we did that night wasn’t making love, Billy. It was something cold and detac

The day had been extremely heavy, so Isabelle decided to put work aside and go for a walk to calm her nerves. Working from home seemed a good idea at the beginning, but her thoughts were still pinned on those damned messages. The bastard that was bothering her needed to be stopped. Isabelle wanted to breathe some fresh air, calm down and find a way out of this nightmare. Not only was this man taking away her time, energy, attention from her work, but also from her husband and their unborn child. Because of him, things between her and Shawn were tense. Since their fight, they stopped talking… really talking. And this was unusual for them. Besides that, she was still receiving the usual threatening messages, only that this time they were nastier and more frequent than before. She had received another o

Disgusted by the presence of Nathaniel so close to her, Isabelle slammed the door behind her and in an angry gesture, she threw the file Nathaniel had brought her onto the floor. He was starting to cross the lines and Isabelle knew she had to do something to put Nathaniel in his place. He must understand that she wasn’t one of his many… girlfriends, nor was she interested in becoming one. She will let him the moment she’ll get back to the office. Isabelle had to call Marie and ask her to remove him from their group. This man was not only obnoxious but creepy too. And the way he was talking to the women working at the foundation… He would turn into a slimy, repulsive in a matter of seconds. Nathaniel was a danger for all

Isabelle was staring at him blankly, her lips trembling, trying to finish her speech. But lowered her eyes and just shrugged. Isabelle moaned, dropping her head into her hands as hot tears coming down from her eyes. Shawn held her tight in his arms. Isabelle’s eyes closed, making the wild sensations she felt in his warm, hard arms even more sensuous.“Belle, forgive me...” he said quietly. “I am feeling like the biggest jackass right now. I’ve tormented you with my arrogance, with my baseless accusations, with my stupidity.” Shawn took her face in his hands and looked Isabelle straight in the eyes. She couldn't drag her gaze away from his. It stimulated her pulse, stifled her breath in her body.“I will never do this to you again,” Shawn said and embraced her again, while Isabelle, immensely happy, hi

Billy was driving his car to his parents' villa. Out of the corner of his eye, he was trying to understand Stephanie’s state of mind. She was sitting next to him and looking silently at the road ahead and a slight smile could be seen on her lips. The past few weeks, Billy found himself smiling too, and quite often. At first, he didn’t understand how come, but after he laid his cards on the table in front of Stephanie, something changed inside him. The moment they’ve talked about what they both were expecting from each other, their relationship got even better in bed and out of it. After that, a feeling of pure lightness entered his soul. He and Stephanie chose a relationship without too much stress, without the traditional part. They were simply enjoying their life together, getting

“Very well, Mr. Grayson. Would you prefer having your breakfast in bed or shall we go to the kitchen?” she asked in a playful tone biting her lip.“The kitchen is more than perfect. But I have a small request for the brunch and I hope you will please your CEO,” he said helping her to get out of the bed. Stephanie looked at him a little suspicious but then smiled. Billy knew right then and there that she would do absolutely every little thing he would ask of her, as her husband, as her CEO, as her lover. In fact, after breakfast, they both ended up in the shower. Leaning against the wet walls, they made love, enjoying every moment, playing, and experimenting like never before. With a heavy heart, Stephanie and Billy left the

Shawn shot from his chair and launched himself toward his wife, who was leaning the table. Her face was pale. Isabelle was taking quick, panting breaths. One of Shawn's arms went around her waist to help support her. The other hand cupped her cheek and lovingly lifted her bowed head.“Sweetheart! My sweet Belle!” he whispered worriedly.“Don’t worry, my love, I’m already feeling much better” she assured him with a feeble smile. "A little dizzy spell. Maybe I just got too warm. Or maybe it was something I ate that didn't set well with me. We should go out on the terrace and get some fresh air, what do you say?”“Oh, for heaven's sake!” Marie laid her folded napkin beside her plate, left her chair, and joined the couple at the sideboard. Lucy joined her too. Both older women were smiling."Why don't you stop with th

The door to the office opened and Marie saw Isabelle coming in. She was waiting for her since they had an appointment for that afternoon. It was such a busy day at the foundation, but for Marie, the encounter with Isabelle had priority over everything. Especially now when the greatest secret of all had finally been revealed. Marie wanted to take advantage of every little opportunity to see Isabelle and know how things were going, how was she feeling with the pregnancy and all.“Sweetie, I’m so glad to see you more often these days,” Marie said hugging Isabelle. “How are you feeling? Is the pregnancy going well? Is everything alright with you and the baby?”“Fortunately, everything is absolutely wonderful. In half an hour, I’m going to meet with Shawn in front of the clinic. I have to see my OB-GYN about

Isabelle kissed her on the cheek and left the office. But the joy on her face disappeared when she saw Nathaniel in front of her. His arrogant face, his disgusting grin made her feel sick to her stomach. He was so annoying. She wanted to get away from him as quickly as possible, but Nathaniel blocked her way.“Hi, gorgeous!” he said trying to touch her, but Isabelle backed away angrily. “What is this? You won't even say hello to me? A princess like you behaving so badly?” Nathaniel approached Isabelle and grabbed her hand.“You’re in my way,” Isabelle said, yanking her arm while giving him a defiant look. “Step aside now!”“Why should I? Why don’t you ask me nicely?” he said smiling at Isabelle, reaching out to grab

Isabelle's cheeks changed color. He smiled. Even now, after all this time, she was getting embarrassed easily whenever he would get pretty… aroused. She was his woman; he had done things with her that he hadn’t done with another woman. Shawn had told her things about him that others didn’t know. Isabelle was the keeper of his life. Unfortunately, their sexual life suffered a slight change since she had the baby. He knew it would happen, he knew that Isabelle's hormonal swings could lead to this point, but it was so difficult being next to her and not making love to her. Every night he was sleeping beside her, holding her in his arms, kissing her, caressing her, speaking to her softly, but that was about it. Between the two of them, there was a delightfully painful game of coddling, caress

“Marie, sweetie...” Chris's voice brought her back to reality. Their boys were calling the old couple to join them on the lawn. Rosa and Julia, the new cook, had already gone out onto the terrace and brought fresh lemonade for everyone.“Where were you just now?” Chris asked curiously.“I was taking a walk amongst our memories,” she replied in her usual simplicity.“I hope you relieved only the good ones,” Chris added. The look in her eyes and the bright smile on her lips made him understand understood that she just took a walk amongst some wonderful memories. He kissed her hand and helped her get up from her chair.“Come on, let's join our kids and talk to them a little before dinner. Let’s hear what are their plans for the holidays.”&n

On Villa Mimosa’s terrace, Marie and Christopher were sitting, chatting, and looking at the adults and children who were laughing, talking, and playing on the lawn and in the small treehouse. The image of the Grayson Trio, with their spouses and children, made Marie smile proudly.“Three generations of Grayson under the same roof and at the same time...” she whispered trying to hold back the tears. Chris pulled her lightly towards him and kissed her temple. Like his wife, Chris too was very happy to have everyone there with them. The opportunities were extremely rare, especially those of seeing Richard, Christine, and the girls back to the States for a vacation. But after all that had happened at Audrey's birth, all of them had started to appreciate their family time much m

The prison… This was a very scary place, but Isabelle took a deep breath and gather all her courage. She was determined to find out who Nathaniel Stevens really was: a lost soul or the devil himself. Once she would receive the answers she was looking for, Isabelle will finally close this chapter of her life or help him change. Her baby girl was about to come into this world and she wanted to welcome her by closing all the wounds left open and still bleeding: the old ones made by her father and the new ones caused by Nathaniel Stevens. Shawn's love had been her cure. He had given her peace of mind and had helped her trust people again, but Shawn had been able to cure the pain caused by her father only partially. The rest was up to her. &nbs

“Never!” He got up and stood in front of her. Shawn’s expression was harsh, cold. His eyes had that icy look that she had seen so many times. Isabelle had expected Shawn's reaction, she was prepared for it. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm while talking to him.“Shawn, please... I have to know...”“Know what, Isabelle? What in the world can this psychopath tell you? Why are you allowing him to keep hurting you over and over again?”“Sweetheart, you know how much I loved my father. Before that fatal night, flaws and all, he was my hero. After he got sick, I’ve started noticing a certain behavior, finding out things about him that were hurtful. His words to me were like sharp knives through my heart.” Isabelle took a deep breath. She won’t cry, otherwise, Shawn wou

Sitting in the armchair, Isabelle was looking with sadness outside of the window. She hadn’t been able to sleep much that night, so carefully, without waking Shawn up, she got out of bed and went into the living room. She needed to think about what she had discovered since the day she went to the hospital to see Stephie. As much as she had tried to convince herself that it wasn’t true, the facts were very clear. Nathaniel Stevens was her half-brother. That merciless man that all of them had seen and known, that monster, was her father’s son. From beyond the grave, her father had managed to hurt her once more. Months had passed since she last thought of her father. Her last memory of him was a very unhappy one. But life rewarded her and Isabelle was no longer alone. She was no longer weak.

“I love you and I’ll never leave your side again. Ever!” He smiled at her blank, incredulous expression, then lowered his face to hers and sipped the tears off her cheeks.“I was ready to abandon the road to love because I thought that it had nothing to do with me. I couldn’t see what was in front of me because of my stubbornness or perhaps because of my fear of getting hurt again. So, I ignored all the signs and raised a wall between me and the entire world. Then you came and the world stopped turning for a moment. When I finally saw who you were, I felt like I was breathing for the first time. I felt my heart finally beating the right way when I saw you smiling when I looked you in the eyes. The second after, my wall was torn down by you, by your sweetness, by your love and our souls became one.”“Billy...” she whispered. “How can you say this after eve

“I want to help you and Stephie, so let me know what would you like me to do,” she replied with a sweet smile on her lips.“It’s not about me at all, it’s about Stephie only. Belle, after the doctor is going to sign her discharge, Stephie’s going to need all the psychological support in the world. She’s going to need a friend, a person who can understand what’s really going on with her. You two have been tagged by the same psychopath, so you have something in common. As much as I’ve tried, I can’t calm her down, I can't bring her back to me all by myself. For the first time in a long time, whatever I say or do to her, falls flat. She struggles to open up to me and this thing kills me slowly. Stephie keeps it all inside and she keeps pushing me away while the pain is consuming her from inside out. I can’t accept this, especially now that...”“Now that...?” Shawn added approaching his cou

It was still raining. Billy looked beyond his own reflection in the window out into the dark, forlorn night. Stephanie had a very rough night, waking up several times. She couldn’t stop crying, so the nurses had to give her a sedative to calm her down and allow her body to start recovering from the shock she went through. Billy didn’t sleep or move from her bedside. He couldn’t let go of her hand or take his eyes off her. Just the thought of leaving her for one second was too much. What Stephanie had experienced was extremely painful and Billy was afraid she might never recover from it. But the doctor said that in time love, care, attention will cure her spirit and her mind. And the baby… The news that she was pregnant, that the baby was alright, should’ve been a reason enough
