I clarify that in no context the situations described in this chapter seem good to me or I approve of them.ISABELLAOn my way home I received many calls from Andrew, I don't know if Caroline or Mike told him about what happened or if he is just calling to congratulate me and see if I liked his gift, but right now I don't want to talk to anyone, not even him, I feel too broken, I just want to lock myself in my little world to try to heal my wounds alone and try to assimilate all this, so I turned off my phone before I got home.When I arrived I was surprised to find my dad sitting on the couch, looking really furious, like he was about to explode, his face was red and he had a bottle of whiskey in his hand which he was drinking straight from, this sight frightened me, I had never seen him so angry, so I wanted to just go straight up to my room trying to go
ALEXANDER Back at the hotel, I am surprised to find Caroline at the front desk and when she notices my presence she walks towards me furious and slaps me, which I didn't dodge, I knew I deserved it."How dare you do that to her?" she asks with her eyes clouding over with tears wanting to come out."I don't want to talk about it, excuse me" I say trying to walk past her, but she grabs my arm."You're not leaving like that, not after what you did to her" she said and without being able to help it anymore her tears started to run down her face "She didn't deserve that, I trust you and I give you all of her."Her words cut deep into my heart tearing it even more, I want to scream at her that I didn't want things to end like this and less on her birthday, but she is not the one I would have to explain things to."Please let me go" I tell her as calmly as I can, I don't want to keep hearing how much I hurt the woman I love and what an idiot I was for doing it."Why did you do it, did you r
Currently.ALEXANDER After Isabella got out of the emergency room I stayed with her all day keeping her company and had spent the night in the hospital, but in the afternoon of the next day I left her in Caroline's care to go to my hotel to take a shower and then settle some pending accounts.That's what I came to do the moment I arrived at the house where my sister lives, I believed everything Caroline had told me but I needed an explanation from Emma or at least to be held accountable for her actions."Good afternoon young man" Carmina greeted letting me pass."Where is my sister?" I asked directly, at this point I had no time for cordialities I needed to get back to the hospital as soon as possible."In her room." hearing her answer I went straight upstairs and opened the door to her room without knocking.She was lying on the bed apparently watching something on her phone and when she saw me enter she looked at me puzzled."What are you doing here?" she asked without preamble and
ALEXANDER I was just arriving at Isabella's room when a blond man of about my height and build upon seeing me walks towards me looking furious, I can deduce that it is Andrew as he is here accompanied by Caroline and Mike."What are you doing here you bastard? You have no right to go near Isabella." He said through his teeth and clenching his jaw."You're nobody to tell me what to do, so step aside.""No, I want you to get the hell out of here and stay the hell away from her.""I don't give a shit what you want." I blurted out losing my patience."This is no place for fights" Caroline interjected as she walked over."I know but he doesn't deserve to be around her when he's responsible for what happened to her."I am very clear that I don't deserve to be near Isabella, but I simply can't walk away and much less if she is like this, I need to see her well so if she asks me to walk away, the rest I wouldn't."Andrew that's enough, let's go get a coffee, let him see her." He said and the
ALEXANDER "What progress have they made?" asked Andrew referring to the search for Isabella's father.A month had already passed, Isabella was fully recovered from the blows but still did not wake up, the doctors said that everything was fine, but still there was no response from her and it was too scary to see that the days passed and she still could not open her eyes, it had us all very desperate.During this time Andrew and I found a way to be moderately at peace, after all we spent too much time in the hospital with Isabella, so we had to find a way to support each other, we could not make a scene in the hospital and it was too uncomfortable to be always hostile to a person you are with every day."Everything is still the same, they are looking for him but he hasn't left any trace" I answered frustrated.I was tired of Isabella remaining in a coma while that coward was free, without paying for what he did to her.It was very frustrating to know that he hurt his daughter so much o
ISABELLA My mind woke up first but my body was still not responding and I could start to hear hints of a conversation in the distance in which I was not able to recognize any voice and I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't open them and I didn't know where I was, but there could only be two answers, in a hospital or lying right where I fainted, I still couldn't believe what my dad was capable of and it scared me to think of having to face anger again, but not recognizing any pain in my body made me wonder if it was just a nightmare, but I quickly denied it, because it had all been too real and it had all hurt too much to be just a dream.Soon I began to hear more clearly and I could recognize who the voices belonged to and I was relieved that none of them belonged to my dad."Will you still be her boyfriend even if she never wakes up? Are you going to tell me that you would wait for her for the rest of your life?" I heard Andrew ask, they were talking about me, but I was confused ab
ISABELLA "Alexander is here, he wants to see you," says Caroline entering the room with two cups of coffee in her hands."Tell him to come in.""Really?" asked Andrew puzzled. "I thought you didn't want to see him.""Yeah, let him come in." I repeated, hoping I was making the right decision.I had to cut this out at once, it was the healthiest thing for both of us, I think if I didn't agree to see him he would keep insisting and it was better to clear everything up as soon as possible.Caroline came out to tell him to come in and there he was, looking as stunning as ever, but this time when I took a better look at him, I could tell he had lost weight and that made my heart squeeze."Hi, how have you been feeling?" he asked with a small smile, but I could tell he was nervous."Please leave us alone" I said looking towards Caroline and Andrew."Are you sure?" asked the latter looking unconvinced."Yes, please" I said and they both walked out."Please sit down" I said pointing to the cou
ISABELLA Today I was going to be discharged from the hospital and I had to figure out what to do, I didn't even have a place to go, I only had the little money I had saved in my account, because everything else was gone.The bank had repossessed everything my dad had in his name and he had never put anything under mine, not even the car he had given me, so everything was just gone and my life was totally changed.I was a little afraid to face these new changes, but after all, it was what I had always wanted, not the way things happened, but I had always wanted to get away from my dad and be free at last, not to be afraid of saying or doing something to offend him and end up getting beaten up.I wouldn't have to worry about that anymore and even though I knew I had to depend on myself I knew it would be worth it, plus I had wonderful friends supporting me.I knew I could count on them and that was amazing, I loved having people as good as them around me, they gave me so much more stre
