Silas PovStepping on the gas I arrived at the hospital within eight minutes. Getting out of the car I don’t care that I park in the drop of zone. I just need to get in there now! When I get to the entrance and the sliding doors open I see in the corner of my eyes a woman in red hair and a hat with her eyes fixed on the ground exiting the building, in the sliding doors beside me. I get a feeling I know that woman, but I can’t recall that I know a woman with such red hair! The woman quickly disappears to the left, I shake off the feeling and walk inside.In just a minute I find the right room where Arthur is. I am about to push the door open when a nurse walks up behind me with a bouquet of red roses. Seven to be exact.”Are you here to see Arthur ?” she asks while my eyes are locked on the roses in her hands.”who send those roses?” I say and look up at the nurse.”A young woman was just here to see Arthur, she brought them with her!” my heart start to beat faster from her words.” Wh
Isabell PovWhen I walk outside the hospital I feel that someone is watching me. I don’t dare to turn around and find out who it is. It might be someone who would recognize me. I quickly take my leave to the left, my heart is racing. But I don’t feel that anyone is following me. After twenty minutes I finally slow down, maybe I am just being paranoid! There is a lot I have to see today before I can go back to the hospital. I hail a cab!”get me to the west side, house 318 on the main street.” I tell the cab driver”you mean the newly built houses down by the sea?””yes that’s right” I look out the window when we drive to the house, my old hometown! Will it feel like home again after everything that has happened? Will my boys like it here? I have so many memories here, both good and bad. Can I be happy here? Me and Silas in the same town again, with totally separate lives. My mind is railing with all kinds of questions and before I know it we have arrived.”I would hardly call that a h
Silas povI received a call when Dad and I just finished our dinner at the seafood restaurant. It was Damien, wanting to show me something! Outside the restaurant, I lean at the limousine and wait for Damien. It doesn't take long for Damien and some of his men to arrive.”We have found the security footage of the woman and the records from the airport. Her name is Bella Winter and she arrived Yesterday. Here is her passport photo” When Damien hands me the Ipad my heart skips a beat! On the Ipad is the red-headed woman. There is no doubt.It is her!I would recognize those green eyes everywhere. She has a serious gaze and a more mature face. My beautiful Belle has grown up! She is not that innocent little girl anymore. She is stunning, ever more beautiful than before. If that is possible?”It is her! She has changed hair color, but that is Isabell Johnsson.” I tell Damien”let me see her son!” My dad takes the iPad. ”you are right,” he says after just a glance at her.”Damien check the
Isabell pov”Mrs””Mrs are you alright?” I hear someone talking. I snap out of my trance and come back to reality.”hey Mrs are you alright ” the driver keeps saying”yes, yes I am fine! Just remember I need to go to the company right away. Can you make a turn right now?””yes Mrs,” the driver says. Shrinking down in my seat so no one sees me and the taxi driver makes a quick U-turn. That was way too close, I am not ready to run into him just yet...I need more time to prepare myself if I ever can be enough prepared to meet him again.My heart has not settled down when we reach the Winter. Co building. After paying the taxi driver I get out. When I walk into the building I see a couch and walk over and take a seat. I need to get a grip! I can't let him affect me like this. I am stronger than that! If he has this impact on me just by me seeing him, how am I going to be able to meet him?” get a grip Bella” I am telling myself. You can do this, you have to. Don't ever let him win and giv
Isabell pov”Who is there?” Arthur calls out.With the word stuck in my throat all, I manage to say is ”grandpa” Grandpa opens his eyes and looks at me! He just stares at me, and I am frozen to the spot...I can't speak or move right now.”B-Belle” I hear him whisper.”Yes grandpa it is me” I manage to squeeze out and slowly start to walk over to his bed.”Belle!! Is it you?” I see tears well up in his eyes and mine do just the same! I grab grandpas hand so he can feel I am real.”You are not dreaming grandpa! I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get here, I have missed you all so much” my voice cracks at the end.”Belle! Give me a hug” I lean over and hug grandpa tight, It feels so good.”I am so sorry for leaving you all without even a goodbye, I am so sorry. I have missed you all every day and night.” I just stand there and hug him, don’t want to let go! By this time both grandpa and I have tears streaming down our cheeks.” You are here now Belle, that’s all that matters””I c
Silas povI am sitting in my office and sipping on some coffee it's over one hour before I'm going to the hospital, and I can’t focus on anything else today. My mind keeps going back to her the whole time, dads questions spinning around my mind. What do I say to her? I have so many things I want to say to her but how can I explain everything and make her understand it? I'm lost in my thoughts when Damien comes barging in.”
Isabell povFuck that was close! Good dammit if Theo hadn’t been there. I wouldn't have been able to escape Silas. When I headed down the stairs Rose and some of her colleagues joined me and helpt me
Isabell povI woke up early the next morning, just before my alarm was to go off. I get ready in the bathroom and take on my clothes and wig. Leaving the room with my bag and heading to the reception. Coming downstairs the old lady is behind the disk.”Hi! I want to check out and it would be great if you could call a cab for me to” I tell the woman” Hi, I will do that and go and have some breakfast while you wait.”” Thank you! Did anyone come looking for me Yesterday?”” No” she smiles at me and I feel relieved. I head over and grab myself some breakfast. Deciding to call
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
