Isabella pov For five days I haven't heard a word from Silas since he had to go back, and I didn't try to call him either. I know he has his hands full and I don't want to disturb him right now. I have been occupied with my work and trying to get on top of things. When I heard Susan and her son were okay and back in their home I tried to give her a call, but she never answered. I guess she has a lot going on and it's better to talk to her when it has calmed down. There is a phone call and I see it's Nelly. Answering it! " Bella I have sent everything about the factories in your mail, I have placed all the changes behind every factory and placed them so it's easy to find what needs to be done. Have you had the time to look them over?" She says I have been sitting with the documents this whole morning and trying to go through them. I have found a lot of problems that need to be fixed ri
Isabella povI tried to call Silas yesterday but he rejected my call. I got a text where he explained he was in a meeting with the police and that he would call me back later. I waited the whole evening but he never did. I can only guess the amount of stress he feels with not knowing who is behind all this and I will give him some space, I just hope they will solve it soon!We had to go up really early in the morning and when I knew his secretary would be at work I gave him a call.Tristan was there and answered my call, I told him to give Silas a message I will be gone on a business trip for a while. He took the message and I tried one more time before we left for the airport to call Silas but it went straight to voice mail.It’s still really early in the morning when the plane lifts off, looking out the window I see the sun is about to come up. I know I took the right decision w
Isabella povWe have been traveling around and visiting several of my factories and having a nice time for a little over two weeks already, Danny has done a great job with planning this trip. The kids have a lot of fun and I enjoy seeing them happy, every day has been filled with fun stuff when I haven’t been in a factory.I haven't heard a word from Silas these weeks and I guess he didn't have any objections about us going, I haven't disturbed him either. Today I'm heading over to the last one here before we are going to catch a flight for our next stop, and it will be our last trip before we are going home again.I learned several years back to focus on my life with my boys and to put all my feelings aside. I know he tries to solve the problem and we can talk when I come back.The car come to a stop outside the factory and I open the door and get out, the car Danny has fixed is going to wait
Isabella pov I hear voices and someone is petting my cheek. " Bella wake up! Come on open your eyes!" I try to focus and listen to the voice when I slowly open my eyes again. I'm laying on the floor inside our hotel room and my mother is petting me while Anna has a wet cloth on my forehead. " What happened?" I say and try to sit up, my mother helps me up when I get dizzy again. " take it easy! You just came in here and fainted on the floor. What's wrong?" My mother asks and I try to think. " I don't know! I just felt a bit nausea in the elevator but nothing more" I try to get up and booth Anna and my mother to help me over to the bed so I can lay down for a moment. " I think you should see a doctor! I can call Mia and ask her to contact Danny and book our tickets for another day" mother says " No, it’s just fine! I just need
Isabella povThe next day when I woke up nausea hit me and I have to bolt to the bathroom, rinsing my mouth after I take off my clothes and get in the shower.Just need to wash up before I meet the others. Starting to wash my hair and body I feel a lot better and when I get out of the shower I feel hungry. Blowing my hair I wrap a towel around me before opening the door and walking out to my room.I find Mia sitting on my bed and waiting for me." I heard you! How do you feel?" She asks. Walking over to my bag I open it and take out some clothes and start to put them on." I feel fine right now. And hungry I guess I just needed to get whatever was wrong out of my system." I pull a sweater over my head." can’t it be something else," she says and I stop what I am doing and look at her." Like what? " I have to ask don't get what she means. She looks at me and r
Isabella povThe last day of our trip was fantastic! The whole trip can only be described as amazing and I wouldn't change it a bit. This has been the trip of my life with my friends and family, and both my boys have had the best time. Today is time to go back home and I both feel anxious and happy about it.When Mia shoved me the news articles I felt shocked and surprised at the same time, I didn't think it would happen quite yet. Silas and Susan had told the media the truth about their marriage.Apparently the news has blown up and it's all they are talking about if I thought Silas had his hands full with everything before it is nothing compared to what he has now with the newspapers involved. I know it's the best thing for Susan and her son to come clean about the fake marriage. If her accident is linked to Silas they might be safe.I sigh and sit back in my airplane seat! Looking to the side booth my boys are asleep. I know
Isabella pov I hear his voice and I try to wrap my head around how he managed to get inside my house, it's supposed to be locked and guarded. "What you did wasn't right Belle! You can't just leave without a word! How am supposed to keep you safe if you don't tell me where you are!" I hear anger in his voice and get further up in my bed and turn the night lamp on. Looking at him he has dark circles under his eyes and he looks worn out. I feel bad for him! These weeks have been hard on him. " I did call you and left a message with your Secretary! I tried to let you know." I argue with him. He can't put all this on me. "I didn't get your message and you can't leave without proper protection!" He says and looks stern at me. "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself and our boys," I tell him when he grabs my legs and pulls me down the bed under him and take my hands in his, and places them over my head. It all goes so fast. "Then try to get out of my grip!" He says and holds m
Isabella povWaking up early in the morning I'm alone in the bed and didn't notice when Silas left. I'm almost as tired as yesterday and had to drag my body out of the bed.Getting ready for the day I dress up and have to put on some makeup to hide the dark circles under my eyes.Once I'm done I walk down to the kitchen and got myself some coffee before heading over to my company. No one is up this early and I try not to wake them up, walking out of the house I find my driver already in place waiting for me.Opening the door I get inside and greet him, feeling nauseous when the car starts to roll I have to lean back in my seat and focus on looking out the window.We arrive at the company shortly and I have to rush up to my office and empty my stomach over the toilet. I can't keep having it this way! A few more days and I will call my doctor. Rinsing my mouth and wash my hands before I leave my bathroom.Opening the door I see Nelly waiting for me in my office. She has a concerned look
Silas povHolding her small tiny hand in mine while I look down at our new creation.She is absolutely perfect!Just like her beautiful mother.Smiling at her when I see her eyes trying to adjust to the light in the room. She looks just like her bigger sister when she was born with black hair. That's what she got from me, the rest she is a copy of her mother."We are done and everything is perfect! You can take her back to her mother!" The nurse says while I hold our daughter in my arms."Alright!" I answer her and start to walk out of the room with her. Holding the blanket tighter around her while making my way over to her room.Pushing the door open when we reach her room and find my beautiful wife sitting on the bed and folding some clothes.When she hears the door being opened she lifts her head and looks in our direction.After all these years she still has me weak in my knees.The day I saw her in the school hallway I knew she was my other half!The one I couldn't live without,
Isabella pov Five years later. Sitting outside in the garden with my brother and his wife and Susan and her partner. We are having a barbecue and just waiting for the rest of our friends to arrive. Our kids are running around and playing while we are enjoying a glass of wine. "Where is Silas?" Susan asks after a little while. "Our princess didn't want to wear the blue dress so she had her dad take her up to change it!" I say and smile at the thought. "Well, she really has her dad wrapped around her finger!" Theo says and we all laugh. He is right about that! "She is just three, wait till she becomes a teenager and he will be buying her everything she is pointing at!" Susan says and if it was just when she is three. "He already does with all our kids! I'm trying to have him stop but there is no point, he does it anyway" I tell them when Susan's baby wakes up and she gets up to pick her up. They went through another insemination with another donor so Susan could carry a child and
Isabella povSix months later!"How is my wife doing today!" Silas says in the doorway before he walks inside to us. I'm sitting and breastfeeding our son on the bed. Looking at my handsome husband I get a warm feeling in my body.These months have been intense after the wedding and moving in together.Silas has been a rock holding me up with taking care of our big boys and my company besides his own. Never complaining just doing what needs to be done.He sold his house to Susan and moved in with us right after the wedding. It came naturally and having Susan and her family living close to us has been wonderful. Our boys are playing every chance they get and our dinner nights together is the best.The bed dips behind me and he wraps his arms around us and looks down on our son when he is eating. Leaning my head against his I love these moments together."Are our boys on their way to preschool?" I ask him since I know they are supposed to go today."Yes! Lucas is driving them there righ
Isabella pov.In my hallway, there are candles placed on the floor and some rose petals. I look around and try to figure out what they are up to.The trace leads over to the stairs and all the way up to the second floor.I feel a hand on my shoulder and Susan's voice comes to my ear."Why don't you follow the trace!" She says and I take a moment before I slowly start to walk up the stairs. I don't hear anyone besides Mia and Susans walking a bit behind me.When I reach the top of the stairs I see the trace of rose petals going over to my bedroom. He has been planning this that is easy to understand, I just can't think of what it is.Reaching my door I take a breath before pushing it open and walking inside.I halt and just stare at my bed!On it lies a gorgeous wedding dress and a card. My hand goes up and covers my mouth in shock! I can't believe what he has planned."Why don't you read the note!" Mia says and places an arm around my shoulders. I'm stunned and can't move from my plac
Isabella povI feel him caress my belly and roll over on my side away from him. Only to hear him chuckle at me."No! Just a little bit longer" I say and try to block him out of my mind. I don't want to get up yet."You have promised Susan and Mia to go to the spa today. You need to get up right now if you are going to get ready in time" he says and tries to have me roll back to my back. I do it and open my eyes to find him looking down at me."Or you could go instead of me and just let me sleep the day away!" He chuckles and places a kiss on my nose."You think I would look good in nail polish!" He says and lifts the quilt off me. I hate it when he does it!"It's freezing on the floor!" I say and rise up and sigh when I place my feet on the floor. Silas walks over and hands me my clothes."Just go and get ready! They are here in just a few minutes" I get up and head to the bathroom to get ready. Take my time and do my business.Pulling my pants up I struggle to get them over my bump,
Isabella povIt has been two intense weeks with Silas and Danny constantly being around me. They have to get off my back soon or I'm about to lose my sanity.It's Friday and I have taken the rest of the day off.We have been on another ultrasound and looking at the picture in my hand I feel relief it's still looking good with the baby, my blood is looking better and I just need to keep going the way I am."How do you feel?" Silas says and takes my hand in his while driving the car."It's all good!" I say and turn my head and look at him."If you regret and want to know what we are having I can make a call any time!" Hi says and glances at me a second before looking back at the road. I turn my head and look down at the picture in my hand." I don't care what we are having! Just want the baby to be healthy and make it all the way. The rest can be a surprise" I tell him what I feel. There are a lot of weeks left in this pregnancy and I'm just taking it one day at a time.He squeezes my h
Isabella povThe following day I have to go to my office, there have been several meetings I have canceled and need to have done. I can't keep them waiting any longer.Silas had some things he needed to do today and it had me puzzled. He seemed so secretly like he was hiding something from me.I tried to get it out of him but he only said there was something urgent he needed to solve.I gave up and let him be before I left to go to work.My driver wanted to know everything about the accident and what happened and I told him everything he wanted to know. I like him and I'm happy for Anna to find such a nice man after she lost her husband.When we arrive at my office I get out and Danny is waiting by the entrance door for me."Hi, Bella! I'm here to follow you up to your office and go over with you what security you will have around you at the office from now!" I look at him for a moment and have a strong feeling Silas has a hand in this. I sigh and walk beside him."Let me guess. Silas
Isabella povFollowing after them I quicken my phase!" well, technically it belongs to them!" Comes a voice and I snap my head up to se Silas leaning at the glass door to a porch and booth boys is clinging to his legs.I just look at him with shock and back at the beach." Are you serious with me now!" He flashes a big smile at me and I just stand there looking at him."how long have you known we lived this close?" I ask and walk closer." Since the day you left to go back to your old home! But I guess our boys knew before anyone of us did " he say and looks down at them, I walk up to him and look between them." I can't believe it!" I say and he chuckles before grabbing me and wrapping me up in his arms." If I had known sooner I would have come the first day you moved here," he say and kiss me." and how long have you lived here?" I have to ask." A little over two years, I live here and at the apartment" he trails small kisses down my jaw when I hear Susan shouting inside the hous
Isabella povWaking up the next morning to Silas' warm body against mine, his arm are draped around my waist. I don't want to wake him up but I really need to use the bathroom.Lifting his arm carefully off me I get out of his grip and slowly make my way out of the bed. Placing my feets down on the cold floor I already regret leaving the warm bed but I have to use the toilet.Walking soundlessly over to the bathroom I take my time and do my business. Washing my hands I look down at the ring and have a hard time believing he went all in on this yesterday.Last time he never got the chance to propose, we just had a rushed wedding. This time things might be different.Opening the door I find Silas awake and looking at me when I walk out of the bathroom."Come here!" He says and lifts the quilt off him. I walk over and get under it with him. He pulls me to his chest when I place my cold feets on his ankles, he hisses from the coldness."Gee! you are cold!" He says" just my feets. Mabie g
