“Would you like to tell me now what happened to my father? Shawn, I'm not going to lose you, so tell me everything, without fear. I will listen to you without judgment.”
Shawn shook his head and nervously he ran his fingers through his hair. He had the feeling that he just touched the sky, but in no time, he’ll fall straight to hell. He couldn't tell her, not now. He just couldn't do it.
“In a few hours, I will tell you everything, my sweet. I promise you.”
Isabelle smiled at him and looked once again for his embrace. She was very happy, but also a little tire

The warm breeze caressed the petals of the white roses resting on the cold marble of Andrew and Michelle Baldwin’s grave. Until this day, until this visit at the cemetery, Isabelle had foolishly hoped that this wasn't true, that her father was still alive. But the moment she saw the grave, Isabelle felt like she was about to faint. She would’ve fallen if Shawn hadn't been there to catch her fall and hold her in his arms. Shawn held her like this and cradled her as if she was being a child again and let her cry. He was feeling sick seeing her like this, knowing that all this was his fault. After a while, Isabelle managed to calm down and the tears stopped running down her cheeks. She remained in Shawn’s arms, she needed to stay there for a while, she needed his force to feel better. They sat on a stone bench near the grave. Shawn didn't want to make her stand up too much. Looking at her, he knew the time had co

Isabelle stared at him perplexed, then blinked a few times trying to concentrate on his words. Maybe she hadn't heard right what Shawn had told her..."Sorry, Shawn, but I'm not... I'm not sure I understand," she murmured. “Would you please repeat what you just told me?”"I seduced you… I did it because I wanted to," he said and closed his eyes. "That afternoon, I made you mine." Even though she stared at him in shock, Shawn knew he couldn't stop his confession; he had to tell her everything. “After everything was over, I threatened you. I told you that you had to stop seeing my cousin, otherwise I would have told him what had happened between the two of us. You agreed, but I wasn't convinced yet. After you went away, I called your father to the ranch and told him that you’ve tried to seduce me and that I would never ag

Shawn opened his eyes and felt that his head was about to explode. So many days had passed since the last time he got so drunk. He turned slightly to his right and saw a woman’s half-naked body beside him. He closed his eyes and sighed when he recognized who she was. Danielle... He ran his hand over his face in desperation trying to understand what the hell had happened after going to Danielle's guest room with a whiskey bottle in his hand. But he was incredibly hungover and it was hard for him to put all the pieces together of what happened after he had finished drinking the whole bottle. He got up from the bed slowly, without making too much noise, and realized that he was wearing only his boxers. Someone had undressed him and put him in bed. He was so drunk that he took his clothes off? Hell, he had to stop drinking so much! Sha

“What the hell is wrong with me? Instead of getting close to Belle, instead of sweeping her off her feet, I’m having sex with Danielle? No way, all this has no logic. I love Belle, I could never do her something like this. Not now.” As he was drying his chest with a towel, his cell phone rang. It was Billy... again. This time Shawn replied.“Brother, I've been looking for you for hours... Where the hell were you?!” Billy asked him quite angry.“If you must know, I was in hell... Give me half an hour and I'll be in the office!”“You sound like you’re answering me from a grave or something... Don't tell me you drank again!”&nb

“You don't want to tell us what happened?” Marie asked. “What did the lawyer say to you?”“The things he said showed me what my father thought of me. After hearing everything, I no longer had doubts about what I should do from now on. That's why I chose to leave this place. It's not about you, it's about me and what I want to do from now on.” She said goodbye to everyone and went up to her room. Lucy followed her after a few minutes and found Isabelle sitting in the armchair near the window. She approached her and sat down in front of Isabelle. Maybe she couldn't talk to the Graysons, but she knew her sweet girl, she knew when something was wrong.“Baby girl, tell me what's going on?” she asked softly.“I just found out that

She wanted to touch his face, to remove all that suffering that he was feeling. Shawn had hurt her in a dreadful way, but she didn't stop him. She loved him then as she was loving him now, in this instant. Shawn was so helpless, so sad, so desperate, so... human like she never saw him before.“I'm oknow, Shawn. I’m much stronger and I feel all right,” Belle replied smiling slightly. He looked at her and Isabelle saw tears in his eyes.“Yes, you are. And it's so good to see you standing on your feet, ready to move on, to build your new life. I just hope you will include me too... Marry me, my beautiful, brave, wonderful Belle!” Hearing his spontaneous proposal, Isabelle

Isabelle remained speechless. His mouth let out those words and Shawn's eyes showed to her exactly the same thing. For a few seconds, Shawn looked at her, totally lost in those blue eyes, in the emotion of the moment, in the love he was feeling for her. Then he began to gently caress the curves he hadn't forgotten for a moment. Isabelle's body surrendered in front of his sweet attack. Isabelle undressed him and he willingly let her do it."I'll take care of you now," he said helping her to sit on the bed. Shawn closed the door and returned immediately to her. He leaned towards Isabelle and kissed her breasts. “Brace yourself, my love, because what I want to do to you will take us a lot of time...” Shawn's hands returned to tease her warm skin, they got lost in the ocean of her silky

Someone knocked lightly on her door and Isabelle smiled. She already knew who that person was, she had no doubt about it. The beating of her heart was proof that on the other side of the door it was the love of her life. She opened slowly, without making too much noise, then she took his hand and pulled him into her room.“I’ve missed you so much! After last tonight, staying away even for a few hours makes me insane!” he whispered. “Oh, my love...” She had heard those words a thousand times last night, but now, in the light of day, it was as if he was saying them to her for the first time. A strong emotion took hold of her body and her mind. Isabelle approached Shawn and passed her arms around his neck pulling him towards her. He smiled sweetly, got closer, and kissed her lightly. Shawn's lips linger

She felt slightly embarrassed; Shawn's words made her shiver a little, catching her off guard. She tightened her bridle and the horse became nervous. He took a few steps back and almost threw her on the ground. Totally worried, Shawn jumped off his horse and, quickly, calmed Isabelle's horse down. He continued to caress and talk to him slowly until the animal stopped moving and being agitated. Isabelle was still shaking even though her horse was much calmer. Shawn helped her get down and held her hand as they walked away from the two horses that began to graze, unaware of what was going on. Isabelle had been so impressed with the way Shawn had handled the situation, with his self-control, that seeing his pale face and feeling his hand shaking as he held onto hers, left her perplexed."My love, are you a

"You are not capable of doing such a thing, my angel," he replied smiling tenderly. "The way you give in to my every caress is as real as my love for you." Again, they started riding next to each other. Shawn's opinion of her had left Isabelle totally surprised. She smiled softly and her gaze moved to the ring he had put on her finger. She was officially engaged to Shawn and was about to become Mrs. Grayson. She loved him very much, that's why she felt the need to tell him the story of her father's will. He had been so honest with her; it was time for her to do the same thing."You know, the engagement ring I gave you, belonged to my mother. It's one of the few memories I still have of her. I am happy to see it on your finger.""Oh, I didn't know... Shawn, are you sure of what are we going to do? You marry

When she heard the words'my future wife', Danielle felt like she was about to faint... No, she couldn't lose him! She wasn't ready to let him go! Besides, Shawn was a gentleman, she knew he wouldn't do anything to her. Those were only empty words meant to scare her off, but she already had an idea of how to respond to him. Danielle got up from her chair, took her bag, and started walking to the door. Before getting out of his office, she turned to him."One way or another, you will come back to me! This doesn't end here!" she added and went out slamming the door. Shawn took a deep breath and tried to go back to his usual self. Danielle had always been such a drama queen, so it was better not to pay any more attention to her. He had other things to do and then he wanted to go back to his Belle and spend the day with her. He pulled out

Whistling and smiling happily as never before, Shawn entered his office and sat down at his desk. He still had some small details to fix, he had to meet with the interior designer who had to prepare his apartment for Isabelle's arrival, and then he would return to his beloved. Shawn heard loud voices outside his office. Someone was arguing... it was the voice of a woman who, unfortunately, he had immediately recognized. It was Danielle and she was asking to enter Shawn's office right away. Shawn got up abruptly from his chair and went to get her and take her inside before making a spectacle of herself."What the hell are you doing here, Danielle?!" he said in a low voice. He took her by the arm and ordered her to enter. Shawn closed the door behind them, but when he turned to her, Danielle was close to him, trying to kiss him. "What are you doing? Are you insane?""You can't leave me

Isabelle raised her head and moved away from Lucy enough for the woman to look her in the eye and understand that she would never choose to marry Shawn if she wasn't desperately in love with him."Lucy, I really love Shawn Grayson. I have always loved him, since that day, at my mom's funeral, when I saw him for the first time. I would never be able to do such a thing; you know it very well. You taught me better than that!" She got up from the couch and went to the window. Still worried, Lucy continued to look at her. Isabelle was like a daughter to her and didn't want her to make the wrong choice."Dear, until yesterday, you were saying that you didn't need a man to make it happen...""And I don't, Lucy. I made my choices, but what I didn't unde

Isabelle stared at him rather perplexed, unable to fully understand what Christopher Grayson was saying to her."After what happened to your mother, your father and I, we took our separate paths, and I pushed away from my head those plans to bring our families together. But your father didn't, he always tried to make me understand how right you would be for my son, Billy." Chris smiled slightly embarrassed. "When your father called me a few weeks ago to remind me of this understanding that we had, I told him that this isn't our decision to make, that my boys and you were no longer kids, but adults who could choose for themselves that one special person.""That's why my father always insisted that I marry Billy, that's why the whole clause thing..." Isabelle added, getting up from her chair quite suddenly."What clause ar
