6| In the Shadow of Beauty
Last Updated:
2024-10-31 18:23:23Beckett begins to find the easiest way to escape from his loveless marriage and secure a safe haven with his unspoken love for Charlotte.
The allure of her beauty and the promise of a new life together drives him to consider the unthinkable. This attraction is so strong that it motivates him to consider doing something he might normally find unacceptable.
Recently, Charlotte has got an opportunity for a good match with Nixen. Both have been in loving familiarity with each other for months. Beckett has tried to use delaying tactics so that Nixon's match would not proceed.
The first time, Isabella comes to know about Beckett's treachery to disrupt further proceedings. All of the family accept Nixen's proposal except Beckett. He is desirous to fulfill his dreams with Charlotte, and Charlotte wishes hers.
In the meanwhile, the heat of discussion boosts up and Isabella gets a good share in the legacy. Beckett is now at the edge of getting separated from Isabelle, and Isabella wishes the same.
Now if Beckett leaves Isabella, he gets nothing from the family, and forwards for divorce, he again gets nothing. So he is between the devil and the deep sea.
Time has its own twists, Isabella gets pregnant, and Isabella's love intervenes with all his might and puts an engagement ring on Isabella's finger.
Beckett is still in a great dilemma, finally, Isabella herself decides to go to court.
Beckett has nothing except to accept the current situation of loss.The phone rings and she picks up the receiver, she feels an unreal voice, the voice informs her that her husband is in her clutches. They are enjoying the happy moments together:
"But don't worry, he is quite safe and with full spirit. Take care, soon you'll catch him "
The voice like a stab pierces in Isabella's heart and readily makes her mind to sue him."Betrayed me, I'm not going to forgive him, I swear," she resolves. She files against Beckett for divorce.
Beckett is so absorbed in Charlotte's beauty and the idea of a new life with her that he starts to think about doing something he never thought he would do. He is ready to cross any limit. Or, in an even more straightforward tone:Charlotte's beauty and the promise of a new life together make Beckett want to leave his sweetheart wife for her, even though it's a terrible thing to do. "But how?"
Despite her great challenges, Isabella keeps on and excels in her duties and shows remarkable resilience. She's now seven months pregnant and eagerly anticipates the arrival of her baby. She dreams of her child's future and makes plans for their life together.
Meanwhile, her sister Charlotte is enjoying a happy married life. Both Charlotte and Nixen are spending a good time together, often swimming and bonding. Charlotte frequently visits Isabella, bringing thoughtful gifts for her baby. The sisters' familiar relationship remains a strong and supportive bond.
After a long wait, her wish to be a mother is going to be fulfilled. She eagerly awaits the arrival of her sweet baby boy, imagining the joy of listening to his first patter and giggles. In the meantime, she spends many hours shopping with Charlotte, savouring the excitement of impending motherhood affection.
Just a month before her due date, Isabella takes her pregnancy leave and moves to her aunt's house, conveniently located near her flat. Her aunt, a kind-hearted and motherly figure, has spent her career as a hostel warden and school linen room supervisor.
Now, she lovingly cares for Isabella during these final days of pregnancy, providing warmth and support as she prepares to welcome her new baby.
This hopefully Sunday, Isabella will welcome her first beautiful baby into the world, but without Beckett all by her side. Though he's no longer in her life, she'll hold a sweet baby with an uncanny resemblance to him, a baby who'll rely on her for every breath, every nourishing drop.
As she gazes into her child's eyes, she'll see echoes of the past, a bittersweet reminder of what could have been. She wishes to have more time to make her baby grow with all care and love, and she is ready for that.
