Dario’s POVThe evening sky above us was slowly floating away as Isla and I walked to the car. I felt at peace. All my worries had fluttered away and the only thing on my mind was how to be by Isla’s side every step of the way.When Isla and I arrived in front of the car, I held open the door making sure she was comfortable before I left her side.Then I rushed to the driver’s seat, the minute I eased into the seat, I felt Isla’s eyes on me. I turned to her direction, and I realized that she was smiling widely.It was good to see her smile. It made me feel much happier just seeing that glow in her eyes. The smile on her face extended and I couldn’t help but be curious. As I started, the car I laid down my curiosity. “Why are you smiling like that?”“You!”she pointed and I squinted, it seemed she must’ve noticed the confused look on her face, because she spoke up.“Just seeing all mighty Dario, being worried is making you smile, I never knew you had it in you.”“Stop with the teas
Dario’s POVI left the dungeon and walked into the garden. The minute I crossed the greenhouse my thoughts diverted as memories of my time with Isla flooded my mind.The soft rustle of leaves, the scent of flowers, and the warmth of Isla's touch were alive in my life, but as I left the garden and climbed up the stairs, my thoughts shifted. The weight of my mission pressed upon me, driving out the fleeting memories of passion. I increased my steps, getting to my room in a flash.With a slight push, I opened the door and eyes instantly landed on Isla. She was still sleeping peacefully, with a calm expression dancing around her face. I couldn't help but pause, taking in the sight of her. Still locked in a gaze, I moved to her direction, dropping down on the bed.Isla had shifted a little, but after that quick shift she became stable. My hands which were positioned by my side moved to where hair was. I brushed it off her face, smiling hard as my eyes landed on her perfect lips.I
Chapter 136 Isla’s POVI woke up the next day and discovered that Dario was nowhere in sight. I decided to go in search of him, but immediately I stood up from the bed. I felt the urge to throw up.I threw my hands up in disbelief. Now that I knew the reasons behind my morning sickness I realised that it had come to stay. Now, I just had to learn to live with it. I put a hold on my thoughts, as the feeling of nausea increased. I rushed to the bathroom, and just a tiny drop of liquid spilled from my lips. I decided to brush my teeth. Immediately I was done, I headed out of the room. I went in search of Dario afterwards and the first place that I went searching for him was in his study.I could feel his scent when I arrived at the door, but the minute I stepped in. I realized he wasn’t there. Where could he have gone? I muttered to myself.I made up my mind to head to the dining table, maybe he was having his breakfast. I sped up my pace, when I got there once again. Dario wasn’t
Isla’s POVI stared at Diane blankly trying to process her words. I didn’t know what to say or how to reply. At this point, I was regretting telling Diane. I wished I had just kept it to myself. Dario was going to be so pissed once he found out. I could already imagine how he was going to feel about all this.“Gosh!” I exclaimed inwardly. “Why did I have to take this step? I should have just kept all this to myself. What was I going to do?”Actually, I knew there was nothing that I could do Diane already knew. The only option I had was to wave it off. That is if it was going to end up working but, it was worth the try.“Isla!” Diane’s voice bore into my thoughts. “You need to tell me who the father is.”“There’s nothing to worry about!” I said. “Just forget that I told you.”“Impossible Isla.” Diane said. “How do you expect me to forget something so huge?”“That’s because it doesn’t matter.”“Why are you hiding this from me?” Diane’s voice cracked. “I thought we were cousins.”Heari
Dario’s POVI walked towards Isla’s room door. The items which I had bought from my little shopping expedition were still in my hands, midway across the room I had dropped it on the floor. Then, I hurriedly made my way down the stairs.Jonas arrived at the bottom of the stairs, he had a serious look on his face which seemed to reflect the exact same look which had taken over mine. “Are we all set?” I asked, the second we got to the middle of the step.“We’re!” He replied quickly. “The guy that confessed is in the truck alongside Axel’s dead body and the rest of the men.”“Good!” My reply was short and simple. Together we made our way outside with no other words being spoken. Jonas had gotten behind the wheel when we got to the car and I took the passenger seat. During the drive, a form of satisfaction seemed to wash over me. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. To wipe off every predator that came after Isla, and finally be free to start a family with her without looking over my sho
Silvan’s POVI was seated in the midst of the elders of the cult, who happened to be holding a meeting . I was less concerned about what they were talking about, I tried to make my presence known as much as possible by a quick no, but midway across the meeting they had lost me.I stared out of the window, with a hardened look on my face. It had been days since I was released from that jail, and yet the sense of freedom which I’ve been feeling had worn off. I wasn’t excited anymore and Now my mind was focused on other bigger things, and that was—Dario. I wanted Dario to feel exactly how I felt. My eyes, which were on the window, shifted in the direction of the footsteps which seemed to be getting closer. The minute the footsteps stopped, I saw two men appear in front of me, with a grimace look spread across their faces.“Is there any problem?” My voice was cold, and the look on the men’s face changed as they appeared scared. “Weee…have..news..” they had pointed out, stuttering as t
Isla’s POVI trembled, with no words left in my mouth, my grandfather looked annoyed, very annoyed like he was going to hit me if I didn’t talk, but there was nothing I could do. I had to keep quiet.“Fine! So you’re not going to talk.” Gran—Gran pointed out. “I’ll have to call Dario then.”I watched as my grandfather removed his phone from his pocket, then he adjusted the device in his hands. My heart thumped wildly as I stared at him.“Dario!” He said with a firm voice. I closed my eyes as I knew the words that would spill out next. My eyes which were closed shot open, the moment I heard my grandfather speak up again.“I need you back at your mansion now!” With that being said, he ended the call. I was shocked by his words. I expected him to hit the nail on the head, and tell Dario right away that I was pregnant but I guessed he was waiting for Dario to arrive before he broke the news.I was lost in my thoughts, that I was unaware that he had spoken up again. It was the feeling
Dario’s POVI couldn’t stop thinking about the reason why Isla’s grandfather had called, my mind was a mess as I navigated my car down the road. Did he want to discuss what we had talked about before or was it something more?I increased the speed in which I drove, and when I finally arrived at the mansion, I didn’t hesitate to step down from the car.As I hurriedly walked to the entrance, I noticed that there were other cars parked outside. Pulling my eyes away, I stepped into the house, and my eyes landed on Isla’s grandfather, Diane’s parents and Isla’s grandfather's second son. Diane was also standing by their side.I could feel the tension in the air, as I moved close to them.“You have finally arrived.” Isla’s grandfather said with a lot of edginess in his voice.“We have been waiting for you!”“Where’s Isla?” I asked in a worried tone. The fact that I didn’t see her around them made me worried. Did something happen to her? If something had happened to her I could never forg
