CHAPTER 64
Last Updated:
2021-04-11 07:24:00Shawn stared at him without understanding what he was talking about, but he had become quite curious.
“Ok, no problems, Billy... It’s not the first time that our mail got switched. It happens. So, what is it about? What did you find that was so shocking?”
Billy looked briefly at Stephanie as if to ask her approval to give him the envelope, and then he handed it to Shawn. He took it and quickly looked at its content.
“What is this?” he asked Billy, taking out a couple of photos, but his cousin said nothing more.
He sat down next to Stephanie who was looking down, still very upset.
“Will you explain to me what is going on here?” he kept questioning Billy, but then Shawn looked at the first photo and his face turned pale.

Heavy silence wrapped every corner of the car. Isabelle was staring blankly outside the window at the road that was opening in front of them. She was keeping a protective hand on her belly like she was afraid that someone was going to harm their baby girl. Shawn was driving but, from time to time, he was checking her just to be sure his wife was ok. From the first time since he knew Isabelle, he wasn’t able to fully understand what she was thinking. The things they’ve learned about in Billy’s office left both of them without too many words to say. He could sense her frustration and anger even if she seemed perfectly calm and composed. Shawn didn’t like her that way. He would’ve preferred to see her yelling and expressing her emotions that she was keeping so well bottled in. Isa

They got out of the car and went up the stairs to enter the apartment. The light at the entrance didn’t turn on and so as not to stumble, Isabelle took Shawn's hand.“Tomorrow I will fix this damn light,” Shawn said opening the entrance door. “Wait here until I will turn on the light inside. I don’t want you to harm yourself.”“I told you, sweetheart, nothing bad is going to happen to me as long as I am with you,” she replied and followed him closely. Shawn stopped on the threshold and turned on the light in the hallway. It was blind instinct, and his innate need to protect Isabelle that saved both their lives. Out of the corner of his eye, Shawn caught a sudden movement to his right. He twisted toward it, shoving Isabelle back. The quick jerk of

Isabelle fell on the chair and sighed with relief. Shawn was going to be just fine... She wanted to cry, to shout her happiness and frustration to the world. But she was in a hospital, the people around might’ve mistaken her for a crazy woman. She looked around and waited for the nurse. She put her hand on her belly, willing to let her baby girl know that mom and dad were fine, that the danger was gone, that everything would be all right now.“Mrs. Grayson?” she heard a voice and raised her head. In front of her, there was a woman with a warm smile on her face. Isabelle looked at her scrubs and understood that she was the nurse who had to take care of her. But she didn’t want to get up from that chair, she had to wait for Shawn's return because she wanted to be sure that he wa

‘My love, now, here, away from you, I realized that you’re all I need to feel whole. You are the only reason that keeps my heart beating. You’re always on my mind and I miss you terribly. I will call you later. I love you madly.’ That simple yet intense confession made her heart flutter. Stephanie smiled and closed her eyes. A slight sigh left her lips. Billy had been away three days now, and not having him next to her, in their bed, in their home, was hurting her more than anything else. She couldn’t stand this distance, not even for a second. Not now, not with all that was going on. Not after that cowardly attack on Shawn and Isabelle. A week had passed since those terrible moments when they went to the hospital to visit Shawn.

“You don’t know him or what he’s capable of... But I do. Nathaniel is very intelligent and he’s a computer genius... He always managed to find me even when I thought he wouldn’t. Even when I was positive that I had covered my tracks. And after listening to what Isabelle had to say about those messages, after seeing those damned photos, after visiting Shawn in the hospital, I KNOW that this is his dirty work. I’m so afraid that he might do something bad to you... I would die if this happens...”“Sweetie, I know how to handle someone like Stevens. I don’t want to see you worrying about me… ever. I know that this bastard put you through hell. He tried everything to break your spirit, to bring you down, but you managed to survive, to rise up, to go on, to believe in people again.” He squeezed her tightly in his arms.“You entered my life so

Three days had passed since Billy had gone to New York and Stephanie still felt his kiss on her lips. He was texting her quite often, but that wasn’t helping much. Even after reading his texts, Stephanie was feeling empty without Billy’s presence. She had chosen to go back to work to feel closer to him, but seeing his office so empty didn’t help her much. But at least she kept busy helping Shawn's new PA, a girl sent by a work agency. She had taken over from Amber Young. They had discovered too late that she was Nathaniel’s accomplice placed by him at the company and had since that day she disappeared from the face of the Earth. Stephanie heard the phone ring and a voice message from Billy made her smile. As usual, his voice was so sensual, giving her a pleasant, warm, loving feeling

The pounding headache was unbearable, and the sense of nausea was draining the energy left in her, but Stephanie knew she had to pass over it and open her eyes. She kept repeating that all this wasn’t real… that what she was feeling was part of a nightmare. Stephanie blinked several times trying to focus on the room where she was. Her vision was still blurry, but she understood that she was in a bed that wasn’t hers. The sheets were made of silk, she felt the softness of the fabric under her fingers. A scent of jasmine, her favorite from an early age, could be sensed in the room. When she finally managed to look around, Stephanie had the impression that she was living in a cloud. All around her was white and ivory, like her bedroom, in Austin: the bedspread, the pillows, the curtains&hell

Stephanie knew that at this point there was nothing else to do but play the game. Nathaniel was so furious that he could’ve hurt her. Slowly, she undressed from her shirt and when she dropped it on the floor, Nathaniel started to tremble and groan, as if he was having an orgasm. She felt like throwing up but came quickly to her senses. This wasn’t the time to let herself go. She had to run from that room and that house... Unfortunately, what she had hoped for and dreaded at the same time was already happening. Nathaniel was taking some faltering steps towards her.“Now take off your bra! Come on, hurry up!” With one hand, Nathaniel was trying to lower the zip of his trousers to show her what seeing her like this was doing to him and with the other he was trying to touch her, to throw her on the bed, to

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
HEAVEN OUT OF HELL CHAPTER 77
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
