Dario’s POVThe sound of my phone ringing caught my ears, digging y hands into my pocket, I pulled it out quickly, and my eyes shore when it landed on the caller Id. It was Isla’s grandfather. The last time he had called me or last times I remembered him calling me was years back during the time when Elena and I were still a young. I had taken her out, and promised to bring her back before her curfew but I ended up doing otherwise.Then he had called again, after he found out about Alfred’s death and Isla arrival I was sure he wanted to talk about Isla running away or could it be about be silvan and Katherine issue because I’m sure he knew about it since he was close to the head of the councilmen.I didn’t want to dwell much on my thoughts. I wanted to find out the reason. So I answered the phone, and the sound of his voice collided with my ears.“Dario!” He said . “It has been ages”“It is, despite the fact that we stay in the same town and your grand daughter has been here with
Isla’s POV“Marcus has always been scared of the dark!” Diane said staring my way. We were still seated in the living room and we were talking about our childhood actually Marcus, Ben and Diane were. I just sat there listening to them with a smile on my face.“No I wasn’t!” Marcus replied placing his hands on my shoulder. “And besides I was 10.”“10!” Ben shot him a look. “You know kids stop being afraid when they are like 7.”“My growth sprout is different!” Marcus said in a pissed tone. “Okay kids! Enough with the embarrassing stories ” Diane’s mom walked in, she had an apron tied around her waist and was wearing a bright smile.“Mom we were just getting to the best part!” Diane added. “Remember captain Momo!”Her mom raised a brow and I looked at her, “how could I forget Marcus and how you guys scared him with the captain Momo story then pretended to be captain Momo at night.”“It was fun!” Diane cheered, peering my way. “You know I wish you were here when we were little Isla, I
Isla’s POVA week had passed since my visitation to my grandfather’s house and life in Dario’s mansion has been going well. Well, not too well if I had to be sincere with myself and this was because of Dario.Dario has been so busy, that I hardly see him. We barely have breakfast together and when he arrives home he’s either too tired or having a headache. Even when I woke up this morning I wasn’t surprised that he wasn’t by side. I was already used to his disappearance but I was also becoming worried about him.It was normal for Dario to be occupied but a part of me felt like there was more to this, and the only way to find was talking to him.I glanced at the my phone which was beside me, and I realized it was very early I was sure Dario was still in the mansion actually I hoped he would be. I really wanted to talk to him.Without wasting any more time, I headed downstairs, as I pushed myself upward, I felt a dull throb at the back of my skull. My hands which were by my side l
Isla’s POV“You see, what I told was right you. Dario is busy.” Nima cut into my thoughts and I furrowed my brow placing my phone in my pocket.“You’ve no single idea Nima!” I replied in a loud tone. “This message doesn’t justify anything.”“Dario clearly stated that he’s busy!”“Clearly!” I scoffed. “This message feels wrong so wrong, it’s like it’s coming from someone else.”“Isla, you need to calm down and relax. You’re not well and instead of you resting you’re busy—““Save it!” I snapped. “I know what I am feeling is right, I hate the fact that you’re trying to turn things around and make me feel like I’m going crazy.”“I’m not doing that Isla, I just want you to take it easy.” I shut Nima out afterwards as I stepped inside the house. I went into the room and once I got there I ended up going through the documents the secretary had sent to me. It was quite difficult going through each and every document but I managed to do so. Along the line, I ended up falling asleep, by the
Isla’s POV“I’ve to inform you your highness that Isla’s case is very delicate.” ‘Delicate!’ I repeated inwardly. I was worried at this point, and several negative thoughts flew in and out of my mind. I turned to look at Dario who had a shocking look on his face, but he managed to conceal it when he noticed that my eyes were on him, flashing me soft look.Dario’s soft look seemed to do nothing to me. I guessed he had noticed it too, because he spoke up immediately.“Why don’t you inform Isla what the delicate issue is. I’m sure she is curious about it too” Dario arched a brow staring at me, and I swallowed hard. I didn’t know how to react to this but part of me was willing to hear, I knew whatever it was. I placed my attention back on my surroundings, and I realized that the doctor had moved closer to us. He adjusted the glasses on his face, and his eyes moved swiftly from Dario then back to me.Waiting for the doctor to speak, felt like an eternity probably this was because of my
Dario’s POVI walked beside the doctor as he made his down the stairs. He seemed to be saying something, but I was lost in my thoughts that I was unaware of it.The moment we got to the door that led outside I became aware of my environment. I flashed the doctor a fake smile.“Thank you doctor!” I said calmly.He nodded his head before walking away. I made my way down the hallway afterwards, and as I walked my mind kept on revisiting the doctor’s words. “She’s pregnant.”Those words were like wrecking balls smashing into my whole mind. In the fit, of the moment I slammed my fist into wall letting out a scream which seemed to stop mid-way as I managed to stop myself, clasping my hands over my mouth.I continued slamming my hands into the wall, and the pain which shot through my veins couldn’t be compared to the pain I felt within. I was a betrayer, and knew Alfred and Elena wherever they were hated me right now.As that thought settled into my head, I increased the punches I was t
Chapter 132 Isla’s POVThe second, I left the mansion I started to jog. I decided to head to my parents grave. The urge to be in their presence was all I needed.I knew that being with them would offer me the comfort I needed. Although, a part of me wished they were both alive and here with me, helping me through all of this.I felt alone.I continued to jog, in a slow pace. My eyes focused on the path ahead of me. I passed the winded road, which ended up leading me down a narrow path.There was no building in sight, just trees that stood tall moving along with the blowing wind.“Isla, please go back home!” Nima’s voice came out in a panic tone. “ you remember what happened the last time you left the house.”“Nima!” I called out. “Just stop this, you’re making it seem like I can’t handle being on my own.”“With the past experiences that occurred I don’t think you can.”“Seriously!” I exclaimed. “Let me just remind you that everything that has happened to me is not because of me be
Dario’s POVI walked out of Isla’s room with the panic feeling in me increasing. Once again, I’ve lost Isla.I groaned, increasing my steps as I walked out of the mansion. I couldn’t stop thinking of where I should start looking for her. I decided to take the risk and head to the pack graveyard.It was worth the shot. I headed to my car quickly. The minute I settled in. I pulled down the windows and the earthly breeze which didn’t seem comforting blew by.I set the car into ignition, wheeling out of the driveway in a fast manner. I maintained that quickened pace, with a determined glare set on the road as I drove.“Fuck!” I exclaimed as guilt settled in my head as I continued to navigate my car down the road. The thought me not finding her crept into my head, making me shiver in my skin.‘That wasn’t going to happen!’ I spoke to myself. ‘Not on my watch!’I doubled the speed, and the wind that blew by increased. The minute I arrived at the graveyard, I didn’t hesitate to step down fr
