Silas pov
It has been one month since Isabella disappeared without a trace.
I am sitting in my office at our family company the Andersson co, listening to Damien my head of security. His report as usually there is no trace of her.
” How hard can it be! She can’t just vanish up in the thin air Damien” I can’t help my anger. I know Damien is doing everything he can to find her.
” Silas we are doing everything we can to locate her whereabouts, but there is no trace of her after she left the cemetery.”
”how about the car?” I have to ask but I'm sure he would have told me if they found anything.
” There is no surveillance film at the car dealership where we found the car, they just said it was a man who sold the car to them” I sigh and trace fingers through my hair, just another dead end.
” the account with her maintenance is still not touched Damien, what does she live off?” since the divorce, I have put her maintenance in her account but she has not used her card at all.
”Someone must be helping her or we have to realize the possibility she is dead Silas”
”NO! It can’t be!! She can’t be dead. " I bark out the words. I can’t even think about the possibility she is dead, she just can’t be!
” Calm down Silas! We are doing everything we can but you have to realize it is possible. ”
”I know you are Damien. But I will not give up on her until you find me some proof she is dead. Now get out of my office! I need to be alone”
”yes Silas ” Damien gets up and walks out. When he closes the door I can’t hold it in any longer. In pure anger, I throw what I have in my hand to the closest wall. My phone hits the wall and it shredders to pieces. I sigh and rest my head in my hands.
My love, my belle.!
I pull out my office drawer and take out the photo from our wedding day. Her bright green eyes look straight into the camera, she is so beautiful in the white dress and with her blond hair that waves down her back. She looks like an angel with her sweet smile. I could drown in those eyes, and I have been. For four years I have been looking into those eyes. I knew from the first day I saw her in the hall of our school she was my other half.
I was a senior and she had just started high school. Her smile got me hooked forever. And when she finally said yes to going on a date with med I was on cloud nine. My grandpa was not happy with me dating her, he just hoped we would grow out of it but that never happened. Instead, our love grew stronger. And she was my soul, the air I breathe. My whole life! We were only married for nine months because of that f**cking clause and grandpa. I knew he did not agree with me but I never thought he could do that.
Lost in my thought I get startled by the knock on my office door. I put down the photo in my drawer and close it.
”come in” I shout
My dad Marcus enter my office.
”Hi Silas! He says and walks over to my desk
”Hi dad”
”Why don’t you answer your phone? Grandpa is waiting for us in his office! I sigh heavily, I don’t want to see that old man.
”It’s laying there” pointing at the phone in pieces on the floor.
” then you should get a new one,” he says and chuckles.
” But I will not go, dad! I can never agree to his demands! NEVER!" I know what that wicked old man already wants.
” I know son! It’s not right to you. Mother and I will do everything we can to help you. I am so sorry for all that has happened, we both are!” I see pain in my father's eyes and I know both of my parents are truly sad about what happened.
” I know you are and I am grateful for everything you have done for me”
”We hate to see you go through this, do you have any new trace of Belle?” they always ask and try to help whenever they can.
”No! Damien has done everything he can but there is not a single trace of her”
”Someone must be helping her, but why does she run away? Don’t you think it is strange” he asks the question I have been thinking about myself.
” I know she is deeply hurt by all things that have happened”
”yes I understand that too... but why does she need to disappear without a trace?” my dad looks at me and I see he is lost in thoughts.
” I don’t know, maybe she wants to be left alone and no one can find her. Maybe she is afraid I would reach out to her, and she would be right” I could never stay away from her even if she threatened me.
”I just think it is a little extreme,” dad says and looks out the window.
” I can’t blame her! After everything that happened I wouldn’t ’t want to see me either” tracing my hand down my face I start to feel a headache.
” Well, whatever you decide to do so we are with you!”
”I know you are”
” But just consider it, If you leave the company there would be much harder to find her, and grandpa will eventually leave the company to you. And it will probably be soon and then you can do whatever you want”
” I have thought about it” I know it's easier to stay at the company and look for her. But to what price?
” well let’s go and see what the devil wants then Dad” Getting up from my chair I walk over to the door, dad is right behind. This is a meeting I don’t want, I’m guessing the devil has some new demands. Grandpa has ruined everything!
And if I find any evidence that he has anything to do with Belle's disappearance I will squeeze his last breath out of him!
We arrive outside his office door and open it. Inside is grandpa Isac sitting behind his office desk with a smug grin on his face, and two of the company lawyers sitting on the sofa.
This is not a good sign.
”take a seat, we have a lot to discuss”
Isabella povI wish I hadn’t woken up again. I want to avoid this pain that fills my whole heart. Every day I have to keep fighting to just keep breathing in and out. I’m still stuck in that examination room when the doctor said they couldn’t find any heartbeats. The earth stopped spinning that day, I stopped living. Everything that happens after is like an outside-body experience. As if I were not there, it happened to someone else and I stood beside and just watched.But at the same time, I had to go through it all!Tears stream down my cheeks at the memory. At this point, I can’t stop the memories that follow. Every time I have to go through them. Silas golden brown eyes when he is looking at me. The pain he feels is written all over his face. I see his lips moving but I can’t hear what he is saying. I can’t hear anyone, everything is silent.My brain is in a silent tornado, everything is spinning and I can’t hear a word.What is happening, it can’t be true. My baby can’t be dead.
Isabella pov When we told our families they rushed a wedding. It was a small simple wedding, without any reception after. Just the ceremony, we didn’t have time to fix a large wedding with flowers or bridesmaids. My family where there and Silas, I was happy just to get married to the love of my life. I didn’t care about everything else, just happy he would finally be mine. I got a simpel white dress that hide my belly, even if I didn’t show anything yet none of his family agreed to me wearing something thight. I had to put my feelings of sadness over the dress aside and just focus on our happiness after. Silas was so handsome in his dress Suite, his dark brown hair and golden brown eyes. His cute dimple’s when he smiles. I was the luckiest woman in the world. At least I thought. None of us had the time or desire to read a long prenuptial agreement, I never thought anyone would want to hurt us so badly that they would write in such a clause. But someone did, and that day in Isac’
Isabella povI know I have to get up and take a shower before the twins wake up. I slowly rise from the bed and try not to make any noise when I get out of the room. When I finish the shower and got dressed I make my way to the kitchen where my nanny Anna already making breakfast.”good morning Anna, ” I say to her when I step inside.”good morning Bella, did the boys have another nightmare?””yeah Kian started screaming in the middle of the night and he woke Alex up. So both got to come along and sleep in my bed””what was it about this time?””he kept screaming there was a monster under his bed, ah when we speak of the little ones, whose little feet am I hearing? Kian, Alex come here and give me a hug!" Kian is the first to jump up in my lap and give me a hug, and Alex is right behind. When I have both boys in my arms I feel blessed.”Mommy””yes Alex ””I wanna see the lion, ” he says”I want to see the lion too! Please, mommy. please” Kian says.”ah, my sweet boys I can’t today. I
Isabella povIt took my brother one week and three days to have everything arranged.After that day in the cemetery, I took the car to a meeting spot outside the city where my brother waited for me.We took his car to the airport, he gave me my new passport. Gave me an envelope with a lot of money and a new laptop. A contact number to a person in the other country who would help me. He arranged for my car to be sold. Every trace of me was erased. The last thing he did was to take my sim card out of my telephone. With my black wig on I stepped out of the car and we hugged each other one last time.” I hate this! Stay safe. You know how to reach me if there is anything I can help you with””I know brother! Thank you for everything””There is an email account on the laptop in case of emergency and if anything happens and I need to get in contact with you, It’s encrypted so no one can trace it. The code is back at the laptop””Brother you can only use it if there is an emergency. I don’t
Silas pov ”It has been over five years now since she disappeared. Isn’t it time to let go, Silas? She is gone or doesn’t ’t want to be found” Damien is sitting opposite me in my office. ” I can’t Damien. I have to find her even if she is dead! I need closure.” I sigh! Just the thought of never seeing her again breaks my heart. ”We have searched everywhere! There is no trace, and the money on the account has never been touched.” ” I know” sitting back in my chair I look up in the sealing. ” Her family knows nothing, even the cleaning woman we hired to infiltrate their home came up empty-handed. You have a wife and a son now, why don’t you try to be happy with what you have ?” I know what he says makes sense, but I need closure. ” You know how it is Damien ” Looking back at him he has a frown on his face ” Yes Silas, I just want you to find happiness” ”I will never be happy again, everything went to shit. And my Belle is gone! I need a drink! order the car to the back door” ”I
Silas povSitting down on her sofa, she brings me the whiskey. I take a few sips.”I have missed you, Silas! You haven’t been here for a while, I thought you had forgotten about me” she says. I am looking at Bethany when she speaks. She is blond with brown eyes, a little chubby but very cute. But no way near the beauty Belle was.Was!! What am I thinking? I can’t be thinking this!”Take off your clothes and get on all fours on the bed Bethany! I am not in a mood to talk” I say to her and drown my glass of whiskey. She does as I say without any protests, that’s why I keep coming back to her. I get up from the sofa and take off my clothes. Walking closer to the bed with my cook in my hand and start stroking it hard.”Touch your pussy and get ready for me!” I order her. She is very obedient and does as I say. I get on the bed and position my dick at her entrance.” I’m gonna fuck you hard and you are going to be a good girl and take all of me!” In one steady thrust, I bury all my length
Isabella povOpening the door to our house, Kian and Alex come running to me. "Mommy, mommy you are home” Both my boys shout at the same time”Hi mommy's darlings” I squat down to hug them. How difficult my day has been, as soon as I get to see my boys it is all worth it. But today has been a good day, finally, the pieces start to fall into place.”Have you been good today?” I ask them.”yes mommy” Kian answers”That is my boys” I rise from the floor.”mommy the movie! You promised.” Alex is jumping on the spot.”of course,” I tell them.”Boys let your mommy come in first” Anna comes over to us.”thank you, Anna, have they behaved today?””yes they have been good! We just finished bathing. They have been waiting for you to come home all day.””my sweet boys” I pat them on their heads.”come on boys let's make some popcorn while mom takes a shower” Anna starts to pull the boys with her to the kitchen.”perfect! Go with Anna I will be ready soon.” she is right I need to take a shower”h
Theo povIt has been five years and six months since I hugged her the last time. My sister!I watched her walk away and there was nothing I could do about it. I know why she had to do it, but that doesn’t make it less painful. That day when I received two blue roses I knew it was from her and she had given birth to two twin boys. They will be five years old next month. No one in our family has ever met them, I am the only one who knows they exist.I couldn’t even celebrate that I became an uncle.The first two years after she disappeared our parents grieved. Eventually, I had to tell them that she left freely, and they got so mad at me. Because I didn’t persuade her to stay, and that I had kept this from them.I understand where they come from, but I had given Belle a promise. Eventually, they calmed down and had to accept her decision. Even if they couldn’t understand why. I kept the pregnancy hidden from them!About two years ago our company Johnsson. co got contacted by Winter. co.
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
