Isabella povI feel panic throughout my whole body."Ssh calm down it’s just me!" His other arm comes around me and he pulls me tight to his chest." Please Belle just let me hold you tonight! Every time I try to close my eyes I hear your scream. I just need you in my arms to be sure you are safe, I promise I won't try anything with you! Just let me hold you close" I hear the pain in his voice and I stop fighting against him, I owe him at least this much for saving me. I have no idea what he has told his wife he is going to do tonight, but if he keeps his hands and lips to himself I can let him have this night close to me.I hear him take a deep inhale and feel how he starts to relax. He pulls the quilt over us and his hand comes to my back when he pulls me even closer to his chest."Sleep Belle! We will talk another day" I sigh and put my hand on his chest, his scent invades my nose and I feel safe. That has always been a feeling his presence has given me. When we were husband and wi
Isabella povLukas lets go of me and quickly gets off the bed, he stands in front of me like a shield. Looking around him I see a furious Silas standing in the doorway with some of his men behind him.He stalks closer to Lukas with an expression like he is in for a kill." I said who the fuck are you?" Silas says again and Lukas takes a step closer to him. Booth men are almost the same height and have almost the same amount of muscles.Looking between them I fear they will start to fight. I get up on my feet and stand behind Lukas." that's none of your concern!" Lukas snaps back at him and I pick up the paper and pen and start writing on it." that's where you are wrong! Everything about Belle is my concern" I hear Silas roar out and when I am done writing I turn around just to see Silas grab Lukas by the collar.Rushing over to them I get in between them and because I am so small against them I only reach up to their chest.Lukas swapped Silas' hands away and pull me in his arms and
Isabella pov He walks up to me and takes his hand behind my head and holds a firm grip on my hair. His eyes are looking at mine. " If you think I will keep away from you you're wrong! We will talk about it when you feel better" he leans down and captures my lips with his in a heated kiss. I don’t answer it back when he let my lips go and lean his head toward mine. " I will be back," he says before he lets go and walk out of the room. I shut the door close after him and let out my breath. No more! I can’t take it, I have to leave. Walking over to my phone I type to Danny. " I'm leaving here in the next thirty minutes by foot If I have to!" I hope he will understand I'm serious. Walking over to the window I am on the second floor and there is no escape down. Somewhere there has to be a way out of this. Going into the bathroom I see it's the same. Hearing my phone beeping I quickly walk out and pick it up, I see it's a reply from Danny. " I have it under control just give me one
Isabella povI have been avoiding Silas for the last two weeks when I had to let my neck and throat heal.I just read his messages but didn’t give him any reply, I'm grateful for him saving me but I don’t want to argue with him right now and I know that's all it going to be.These weeks at home I have been enjoying my time with my boys and my family, I have a feeling from now on there will be a rough time. I have been trying to work from home so I don’t fall behind but there have been a lot of meetings I have been missing.There is a knock on my door and Mia comes inside my room." hey Bella do you want to go out tomorrow and eat or do you have other plans? " she asked me and even if I had there is no way I would miss a free evening with just nice food and talk." yes, I would love to " I give her a smile when I walk over to my closet and put on a jacket." Who are you trying to seduce with that dress" she whistled at me when I walk by." you tell me it was you who brought it for m
Isabella povHe leans his head down to mine and his husky voice comes to my ear, sending a shiver down my spine." you're in so much trouble!" My breath hitches and I don't know why he has this impact on me.He let go and rise, his eyes locked on me. I don’t dare to meet his eyes right now, afraid I will give myself away how his presence affects me." Well, you wanted a meeting! Let's get to the point." I say and hope it can be quick so I can leave." We have another business proposal," Philip says and takes a seat." go ahead!" I tell him and feel Silas' eyes still on me where he is standing beside me. My patient is about to run out with them. I hear him starting to walk around my office and turning my head in his direction I see him walk around and read the cards to the flowers. What is he looking for? When he turns around and his eyes meet mine, my breath gets stuck in my throat. Looking at him for a moment before I turn my eyes away and look back at Mark and Philip." We want you
Isabella povI haven’t seen or heard anything from Silas this whole week, I have no idea what happened. Mabie his wife found out what he has done with me. I wouldn’t deny it if she came and ask me, I feel ashamed of myself for letting him get to me that way.I have been able to relax and focus on my company this week and tomorrow I'm going out with Mia and Lukas to eat. We didn’t get the opportunity to try the new place in town earlier this week because they were fully booked. So we changed our plans and waited for this week instead.Turning off my computer I grab my bag and head out the door.In just a couple of days, Danny will arrive and I can’t wait to show him around the company and all the things we have done with his apartment. Mia has helped me get it done and I have to say she is good at decorating homes." home right away?" Lukas asks when we meet in the underground parking lot, I have t
Isabella povI left my brother's office as soon I had signed the papers, at first I was shocked about hearing Silas having a mistress. When the information sunk in I am not surprised.All I have to say about that piece of shit is that I will not go into business with him or in any kind of way let him near me ever again. I shouldn't have let him come close to me in the first place.I'm disgusted by his behavior! Who does he think he is?He already has a wife and now a mistress, he is trying to come close to me again and I can only guess how many more he has on the side.I feel dirty from where ever he has touched me!Taking a long bath when I come home is my priority after I have put my boys to sleep.I take a deep breath and lean back in the car seat.Lukas is driving home and I just try to clear my mind before we get home.My phone is ringing and looking at the caller I se it's Nelly.
Isabella pov Holding the phone close to my ear I take a moment before I answer. " I think you should take it up with your wife or why not your mistress. You have nothing to say that interests me. Have a nice evening!" I say and just hang up the phone. Don’t wait to hear his response. Turning the phone off I place it down on the dresser and walk out of the room. I'm done and not interested in any explanation at all about anything. Right now I'm looking forward to having a nice evening with just my boys and a movie. After the movie and a lot of popcorn, the boys fell asleep and I met with Mia downstairs. "I've already the wine and a couple of glasses ready out on the balcony," she tells me when she carries a tray with snacks. " that's just what I want! I'll be right behind you" we walk up the stairs to my room and take a seat outside on my large balcony. This place out here has been our hideout when we want to be alone and talk without anyone disturbing us. Filling her in on the la
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
