Amelia noticed the difference between how Roark greeted her parents and how greeted Enid's parents.

He sounded cordial when he spoke to them, compared to how he sounded when he spoke to her parents.

She was neither offended, nor was she surprised.

Enid's parents were better parents compared to hers, and they were generally good people, unlike hers who are a bunch of hypocrites.

Seeing them treat her like they actually cared about her, made Amelia suspect that Enid's parents must've put them up to it.

They were being unnecessarily nice, asking her if she was alright or she needed anything. Amelia could see right through their pretense, which confused her the more.

Heaven knows what they might be using as leverage to make them act in such way.

    "What I am about to show you two, should remain a secret between us. Do you promise that?" Reynolds pointed out to her when they arrived at the door of his bedroom."I will have to arrange for an NDA later, which the both of you have to sign, but until then, this little secret of mine remains between us no matter what happens."Alexander and Oliver spared each other a glance, before nodding. Although they weren't taking his words seriously, they nodded."I mean it, brothers. No one knows this side of my life, and I'm only letting you two in because you are my brothers.""We promise we are not going to tell anybody anything."

    The day of the event finally came, and while Isabel was prepared by another stylist Sebastian had hired her, he returned home."Ah! I never thought that I would ever be lucky to meet a woman so beautiful that my eyes are nearly blinded by the sight of her." He said to her as he walked into Isabel's bedroom, where the makeup artist and hair stylist were getting her prepared for the event."Good evening, Mr. Bernadotte.""Good evening, Mr. Bernadotte."Both ladies greeted him as he joined them. He walked straight to where Isabel was seated, and leaned close to her, placing a gentle kiss on her cheek, careful enough to not smear her makeup."You look darn beautiful." He complimented her with another peck,"You are the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on and I never want to stop seeing this beautiful face and this beautiful smile." From behind him, he pulled out a bouquet of white roses, presenting it to her."Here is to being the most amazing woman, and being the love of my

    Sebastian's face turned beet red with rage as he listened to Isabel's account of her encounter with Damien. It took great effort to have her speak up, as she was sobbing. His eyes blazed with fury, when she did, and his jaw clenched so tightly that it seemed to be carved from granite.His heart was pumping with unexplainable fury."How dare he," Sebastian growled, his voice low and menacing,"I'll kill him. I will fucking kill that bastard."Isabel placed a calming hand on Sebastian's arm, but he shook it off. He was beyond consolation, seeing her in such state and hearing what Damien has tried to do to her.The bastard had tried to touch what belonged to him."I should've ended that bastard when I had the opportunity to. I should've killed then, saving myself all this disrespect." "What did he say to you?" Sebastian demanded, his eyes burning with intensity.Isabel hesitated, clearly not wanting to relive the experience. But Sebastian's gaze was unyielding, and she knew she had to

    Sebastian refused to go see the doctor,no matter how much the doctor begged him."I don't care if her insides are spilling out of her body through her mouth, I do not want to lay eyes on that bitch, else I would expedite the process of sending her to hell." He spat with disdain,"She brought this on herself and she nearly killed my fiancée had I not intervened early. Tell her that I wish her nothing but the worst death ever, and I pray she goes to hell after that."The doctor was flabbergasted.It was a miracle that she made it out of her unconscious state, after they managed to remove the bullets from the vulnerable locations she was shot at.However, he knew that she wouldn't make it past the morning.

    Sebastian's eyes fluttered open, groggily taking in his surroundings. The bright morning light streaming through the hospital window made him squint and look away from the window.He was met with an unfamiliar ceiling and the sterile smell of a hospital room. His mind was foggy, and his body felt heavy, as if an invisible force was weighing on him.As he tried to sit up, a jolt of pain shot through his head, making him wince."Fuck!" His hand instinctively went to his temple, but it was restrained by a cold metal cuff attached to the bed frame. He tugged at the cuff, but it wouldn't budge.Confusion and panic began to set in, but they settled the second realization dawned on him.The memories of the event of the night before came crashing on him like a blizzard on a snowy night and he lwt out a loud sigh. He couldn't believe that he was being held like a criminal.Sebastian Bernadotte, CEO of Bernadotte and Sterling Groups, was being cuffed to a hospital bed like a common crimin

    The first sight that shocked Sebastian as they were led out of the house, was seeing Jarvis's lifeless body on the ground, near the entrance.His immediate thought was Isabel, as he watched the body.Is she safe?God, let nothing happen to her. He prayed within himself.Nothing had better happen to her and his child, else he would kill Damien himself, spending the rest of his life in jail."Sir!" One of the men outside called, rushing towards them,"Speak to me, Howard. What have you got?" The man holding Sebastian probed him."Sir, so far we've rounded five casualties" He informed the man,"Make that seven!" Someone hollered from the side of the house, stealing all their attention.Pendel emerged from the darkness, and from behind him were two armed men."There are two casualties at the other side of the house. Caucasian armed male and female."One of the men shoved Pendel, who was cuffed top, pushing him to where Sebastian and Damien were standing."We received report about a h

Sebastian told him instead,"I think it is time we put an end to all this. Me and him.""But, sir....""Go, and make sure Shakira doesn't escape.""Okay, sir."Pendel left immediately, following Sebastian's order, while he tucked his gun into the back of his pant."Giddorti, I know you are in there and I sure know that you are out of bullets." Sebastian began, taking steady steps into the room,"I can perceive the nauseating smell of your fear from here, you son of a bitch." He scoffed,"I might be a bastard, Bernadotte, but I am not as cowardly as you are. You allowed another man take the fall for your sins, when you should be

    Moses and Isabel have walked halfway through, when suddenly, a light flashed through the darkness, from a near distance.Moses was immediately on alert, raising his gun for action."Stay close, Ms. Hadid. We have an unwelcomed guest ahead of us." He told Isabel, slowing his step, so as not to alert whoever the other person was.With his one hand on the trigger, and the other holding Isabel's hand, they carefully approached the light.Suddenly, Moses stopped walking, which made Isabel stop too."Stay here and wait for me, Ms. Hadid."Without questioning, Isabel waited in the spot he asked her to, hiding behind two tall trees."Get down, and no matter what you hear, do not come out until I ask you to." He warned in a low whisper,"And once I tell you to run, you run as fast as your legs can take you." He dug his free hand into his pocket, pulling out a car key, which he handed to her."Head north, till you get to the main road. Take the Chevy and drive to wherever you can you'll be s

    "Stay here and don't make any fucking sound!" Damien ordered Isabel in exasperation, bolting out of the bedroom as another gunshot fired in the air.He slammed the door shut, leaving Isabel confused, and shaking with terror.What could be happening out there?Were they under attack?Despite her trembling limbs and pounding heartbeat, she got up from the bed, to go see what was happening. Just as she apprroached the window, another shot was fired, louder than the previous ones.Isabel's body reverberated with trepidation, causing an immediate abortion of the idea in her head.She thought of hiding somewhere to save herself, but a crazy thought flashed her mind instantly.Escape, Isabel! You should be using this opportunity to escape from this hellhole.Her instinct screamed at her, while shots continue to fly outside, instilling fear into her.If you think anyone is coming to save you, then you are dreaming. You are responsible for the safety of your baby and yourself, and this is

    Meanwhile, Isabel had almost dozed off, when she was awoken by the sound of running engine approaching the house from a distance.Her eyes opened and she listened keenly as the car drove closer to the house, lights from its headlights fairly illuminating the bedroom, through the window.Finally, the car came to a stop in front of the house, and its engine quieten down. For some reason, Isabel's heart was beating crazily.Not because she was scared, but because she didn't want to face them, knowing either of them would come to check up on her, to be certain that she haven't escaped.
