"You're not pregnant."

In that moment, a breath of relief escaped her sour lips and Kayla pushed a hard lump down her throat. It was a sunny morning in Arlingtons Height and that day marked a month since what happened to her husband, Colton.

Call it paranoia but the few days leading to this one, she had felt the hunch that she might have been pregnant because they’d been trying months ago—months before she realized the atrocious monster that he was. Slowly, she’d met her peace during these four weeks but his mother seemed to still blame her for his disappearance.

As she sat in that chair, it was not as if she didn’t miss him.

Because she did, on top of that she wished things might have been different. She’d wanted to get pregnant for the longest time but sitting there again, she wasn’t sure what she wanted. Wasn’t sure if that breath was one of worry or of relief.

Her family planning doctor sat forward in his chair but he still held the results on a thin sheet of paper in his hands. K

    Once the evening winds had breezed into his face, Colton was face with the dawn of realization that was his freedom. With a smirk across his lips, he slipped the phone into his pockets after the call with Kayla and he looked to the man before him who was all but pleased.And that man so happened to be Isabella’s father—Gerald Evans.“It’s a pleasure to have worked with you again” Colton croaked in the dead of the night as his hands went into his deep pockets. He cleared his throat and Gerald ran his fingers through his hair. “This is the last time” He gritted through sour teeth.“This is the last time you ever drag me into your messes, the last time i help you” He raised his voice and Colton cackled. “I doubt, Mr Evans. Because as long as i still keep your secrets, even decades after, you will always be indebted to me” He replied and Gerald inched close enough to bury his hands into his chest.“Not the cost of betraying my own daughter” He grunted.“The daughter who doesn’t want anyth

    “Isabella.”Resting his head against her door, he called her name. Leonardo knocked a million times but there was no response and then his hands fell around the door knob and it lightly gave way. There was a creaking steady noise but that wasn’t what scared him.It was the fact that he stood face to face with an empty room——the kind that resonated a disturbing energy, neatly tidied bed and dusted shelves, barely any piece of clothing around nor personal belongings. Isabella’s bag was gone and so was she and when Leonardo halted, his heart shuddered in his chest.“Sir” Catching his breath, he turned around to where Tessa called him and he pointed behind him with an arch between his brows. “Where is she—i was about to call her for dinner and i walked in and it’s empty” He tried to calm his shaky voice and he pushed a hard lump down his throat.“Did you not see my calls?” Tessa whispered, a crack in hers and he pulled out his phone to shake his head. “She left a few hours ago with a bag

    “Oh my God”Joan walked through the front door in a bid to fill her lungs with fresh air. Her hands ran through her hair the moment Leonardo had broken the news to her and it was as though all of a sudden she was short of breath.“Hold on, for how long has this been going on?” Her voice was shaken, ridden with guilt as her arms fell to her hips. “It’s been three weeks” He replied. “Do you have any idea where she could have gone?” He asked and she humphed, needing more than a few minutes to process what she had just been told.“If she’s with you Joan just tell me” Leonardo felt because of her silence, perhaps she was hiding something but she shook her head. “She can’t be with me, Leonardo” She gritted, the winds drying the tears that wanted to fall from her eyes and she heaved a deep breath.“Where are you?”Joan pushed a hard lump down her throat before she replied. “I’m very far away, Leonardo” Turning her head to the door she’d walked from, she continued and even Leonardo didn’t hav

    Jazzlyn’s sight was set upon the swaying transparent curtains as they drifted against the winds that flushed through the cabin windows. She was lying across the bed when the morning shore scent breezed through her nose mixed with the chef’s early breakfast aroma.Los Angeles was as different to Norman as it could possibly be. The breeze from the sea was cold and often times the sight, more beautiful. There was a traditional bustling vibe you would get but with a mix of strong community—that was only when you did dive further into the city. Having spent a majority of their vacation days on the beach however, Daniel and Jazzy had accustomed themselves to the diversity and enchante of the place.Enchante, because most people would argue that LA was just as much as a city of love as Paris was.She parted her eyes open after an adrenaline-filled night and her hands softly toiled the edges of his moist skin. When Jazzy lifted her gaze, they were immediately met by his eyes that were alread

    "Oh my God."In front of him, a metal door to a cold-shut chamber pulled open with a thunderous noise. The air from within burst into his face as Leonardo shut his eyes for a second. "Oh my God" Was the next he'd heard and Harold's footsteps drifting further away from him. They were accompanied by the safe's manager who had the key to this century old chamber that was to bear the largest fortune. The scent of cash and wealth filled the air as Harold's pupils dilated at the sight of freshly printed money and minted coins piled upon one another. He turned back to Leonardo who had tried to conceal a shock of his own.His father was this rich.Rich enough to leave all of this behind. "This could be at least a couple million dollars, don't you think?" Harold grasped a bundle, fluttering the edges with his fingers and he tossed it to Leonardo who caught it in the glimpse of an eye. "It doesn't make any sense" He seemed to have a crinkle come between his eyes. His voice was low and his cou

    “There’s an opening, Daniel”An arch came between his brows at those words and Dan took a seat in one of the two chairs that were set aside for his date with Jazzy. “What?” He was a little confused but who could blame him actually.“There’s an opening at Marriott, and you’ve already made it clear you want to come back. I want you to as well but not as a supervisor, i want you back as a manager. There’s a recent opening for someone to head the hotel for the time being and i wouldn’t like anyone but you to do it. I wouldn’t trust anyone really” Leonardo’s tone was smooth going and his words were concise, however Daniel was struck by awe as he flattered his lashes to collect the news for a second.“I’m sorry what—head the hotel?” He stuttered.“Yes, for the time being. You’ve stated your intentions to do so for the longest i’ve known you” Leonardo replied but he scoffed. “But i never thought—i mean if i’m heading the hotel, then where would you be?” Dan asked, throwing a look at Jazzlyn

    The wave of familiarity flooded her face as soon as she stepped inside the building, alongside a stench of perhaps dust entangled with the nostalgia of home. The keys barely dropped from the locks as she took her bags in her hands but with tears in her eyes, Isabella halted.There was a large photo hanging in the hall of Majorie—when she'd been honored for passing whatever nursing exam that was. But it was not the certificate in her hands that caught her eyes, it was her smile. The large grin that never left those lips up until the moment she passed away.And as she took her next steps, she was drawn to that particular picture. Down the couch, down the dining table until her fingers brushed against the edges and immediately, she was whisked into a memory that forced its way back to her and it was seven years ago—the first day she came to the very place.She'd stood in front of the door for a longing minute and she could remember how nervous she was until the doors pulled away, perhap

    Nothing meant an intense sexual encounter than a pair of backs breaking through the front door. The sound of muffled moans and groans, alongside chitters from the clothes between the two of them echoed through the entire room as Joan halted for one second. Her hands had shut the door behind her and Theo was already halfway down his jacket. She was breathless against his lips, in the impulse of the former second, deciding to follow him into his house rather than Freddie’s.Her cheeks were red and hot and his was sharp and shimmering with sweat. “Are you sure you want to do this?” His chest rose and fell and his hoarse voice pierced deeply through her hair. She didn’t know the answer to his question, she doubted she really wanted to do this because it was not even something she went on end planning.But did she need to do this? Yes, Joan needed this. Perhaps for old times sake or just do rid her mind of all the anxiety poisons that sprung from the thoughts of Ivan and Freddie and life

    FIVE MONTHS LATER.Isabella gathered the hems of her flowing white dress as she heaved in a deep breath. Her face turned crimson with blood draining from her cheeks and she turned to Joan who was right beside her. "I'm so nervous" She whispered beneath her breath with her shoes grazing into the fields.There were roses all around them and they stood just behind the door yet to open. "The dress is beautiful, Isabella. You're perfect.” Joan whispered, being her maid of honor for her second wedding and they shared a chuckle."It's like a full circle moment" Isabella beamed a smile and Joan rested unto her arms."But it's different now" She said."Either way i'm glad i get to do this with you again. I'm glad i still have you" Isabella pushed a hard lump down her throat. "Have you thought about what Leonardo said?" She asked for the nth time and i remembered months ago when he told me of his plans to leave Norman.That it was up to me though, to decide what exactly a fresh slate meant."I

    “Hey” Her soft voice drew to him as he brought his eyes to open. The incessant beeping of the heart monitor subdued behind her voice and Em inched closer to him. Gerald’s eyes were slow but the moment he recognized her, there was a large grin that spread across his lips. “I’m here” She comforted, leaning forward to place a kiss on his cheek.“You’re okay” Her hands pressed lightly on the wrapped gunshot wound in his chest and he nodded. “Isabella?” He softly asked and Em held his hands to her lips and with tears in her eyes, she nodded. “She’s okay—”“Everyone’s okay.”His hands fell around his wrist and there was the bracelet he’d gotten for her thirty years ago. Gerald’s eyes shimmered with tears as he gazed upon the beautiful beige dress she still wore. “You kept it” He whispered and Emily nodded her head fraily.“Of course i kept it” She smiled. There was a minute of silence between them as she wiped beneath her eyes but then Isabella knocked upon the doors before walking in. “You

    Leonardo burst out the other side of the door and the heat from the serenading flames hit him in his face. He tied a cloth around his nose and he searched through his foggy vision to make out everything around him.It was a painstaking effort with his feet crunching into a piece of glass and the parts of the ceiling that had crumbled to the ground. “I say we take ahead!” Theodore yelled, looking at the only way still feasible. Leo choked but somehow managed to get himself in order in a minute.The sound of approaching sirens blared from outside the door but by the looks of it, they seemed still far away. He didn’t have time—and so did Isa. “Let’s go” He chanted and they filed down the corridor, searching each room for what was left. The whole house was dark, even as the skies were visible through the shattered roof. “Isabella!” He yelled at the top of his voice, taking down the mask across his face for a second. “Joan!” Theodore yelled too, in the hopes that she was here as well.“Is

    TWENTY FIVE MINUTES UNTIL MIDNIGHT.The car finally came to a halt and from a distance walked Sheriff Stevens accompanied by both Christian and Theodore. In a world that had gone digital, it was surprising that they didn’t show up with a large bag of cash to submit to the mafia Lord but rather just a plain-old cheque.“You’re nothing like i expected” Constantin turned around when he suspected their footsteps had drawn them close enough. The sheriff met his cold gaze with a defensive stance. “I’ll say the same” He muttered and then his eyes roamed both Christian and Theodore who acted like bodyguards. “I thought i told you to come alone” He looked as far as the car but with the silence that enclosed them on this deserted coast, he was moreso convinced. “Do you want your money or not?” Stevens hissed back at him, pulling out the cheque from his pocket and Constantin scoffed from his lips. “I’m not stupid. Bring out all the hostages and then i’ll give you the money.” The sheriff negoti

    Stevens dashed across the bordering sign that demarcated Norman and Riverdale with his hands firmly grasping the steering wheel. He was on the edge of his seat but somehow managed to steal a glance at the clock.ONE HOUR UNTIL MIDNIGHT.“We can still make it” Gerald piped forward, drawing the chair behind. Em was at the front seat and she allowed their eyes to meet in a tensive second. “It’s okay” Gerald whispered with an affirmative nod. “It’ll soon be over” He reached to her hands and Theo pushed a hard lump down his throat. All, that on his mind was Joan’s safety and whether or not she was okay. “Do you have the complete money now?” Emily turned to the sheriff, still reeling in the disbelief of how they raised a hundred million dollars in twenty four hours. He nodded, darting a stare back at her. “I mean Harold was the last. He was able to get an upfront deal of about forty for the shares of the Norman hotel. Christian wired my ten and Gerald as well—And your uncle transferred t

    The slow jazz pierced through Emily’s ears as she wrapped her hands around Gerald’s neck. Indulged in the dance, she didn’t raise her head but that was until it was his turn to swing her. She moved her hips so elegantly like she was young again and after an hour, she admitted to be wrong because there was something about the dance that eased her tension. The music stopped and there was a round of applause, the same moment that allowed them to intimately look into each other’s eyes. “You were amazing” Gerald whispered but before Em could mutter another word, her eyes caught him.“Klaus!” She blurted out.There he was, by the bar downing a glass of champagne with a younger mistress in his hands. He was headed for the stairs and Emily fixated his eyes on him, unwilling to let him misplace in the colorful crowds. She tried to catch her breath and the hemming of her dress as she moved closer.This place was big, the walls a glittering gold with a low hanging silver chandelier dropping fro

    Isabella awoke to a dimly lit candle in the corner of the room.The crimson orange flames flickered in her eyes with a slight pitter-patter sound of the wax burning. It curved to the side and just that single piece was able to warm the room, ridding it of it’s unconducive iciness. She shivered off the remnant cold as she sat up. The heavy chain followed even the slightest movement of her hands, letting out a thunderous clang as she retracted them. Her eyes met Kayla who was quivering in fear just opposite her. “It wasn’t there before” Isa’s voice interrupted the eerily silent room. Her eyes looked pointedly to the candle flame but then suddenly something fell right in front of her.“Oh my God” She clutched her chest, startled to her bones and Kayla let out a shaky scream. The pair of black rubber boots that sauntered towards her drew her attention before whatever it was that was thrown to her. “Take a look” The familiar voice towered over her and Isabella didn’t even need to lift her

    “I’m sorry but Mr Sanders left a little while ago” The woman behind the desk pressed her lips together and it was a like a sword of disappointment struck through Emily’s chest. She batted her lashes and then exchanged glares with Gerald.“I’m sorry—to where?” She stuttered.Her hands reached across the counter and she tapped her fingertips into it. “And when will he be getting back?” She asked and the receptionist was a bit reluctant divulging any piece of information for these strangers in front of her. Emily saw the crinkle form between her eyes and a sharp breath escaped her lips.“Look i know you know who i am.”“If not from my last name then perhaps from Klaus telling you never to engage with his own niece if ever she came around. Short, brunette haired with the mouth like a tap is exactly how he would describe me—““I don’t know what you’re talking about” The lady replied.“Well i call bullshit” Emily cussed and Gerald found his hands holding her back. “My daughter, Klaus’ fucki

    Leonardo snapped his eyes open with an agonizing pain spearing through his neck and along the veins of his numb limbs. He was carried by two hefty arms into a large, dark room and when he realized that his consciousness was regained after an hour long sedation, he struggled to break free from the grasps of the arms that restrained him. “Where’s Isabella!” Was the first question that he yelled out through his panting lips. He threw his head upon his shoulders as he was dragged, his feet barely an inch from the callous grounds. And then he was thrown in the deepest and darkest part of what seemed to be a dungeon. The beads of sweat that formed across his head tricked down his body and he wiped across his face, lifting his gaze to see the masked men in front of him. Leonardo was short of breath as he staggered to sit up, using his barely formidable arms as a wedge. He was able to lean against the wall as he searched for his breathes.“Where’s Isabella?” He looked around him and there d
