Isabella povIs this some kind of sick joke? I stagger a step back just to hit a wall which is Silas and I jolt to the side and take a step away from him. Can’t stand his touch or be near him." Is this some kind of sick joke you bastard?!" I shout at him and point to the woman by the stairs. Looking at Silas he has a frown on his face like he doesn’t understand what I am talking about when another pair of feet comes and I look back at the stairs. Only for his wife to appear beside the other woman and I take another step back and almost trip over a table." what the hell is this!?" I shout to him and feel how tears threaten to slip out, the women by the stairs look between us then his wife takes a step closer to me and I step back." just calm down and we can sit down and talk," his wife says to me and I don't get it. What the fuck is wrong with these people? Feeling his hand on my arm I jolt back and look at him." you take me here to see your wife and the woman you slept with before
Silas povI saw the raw pain in her eyes when she screamed at me, I never thought she would recognize the woman from all those years back." Silas you have to calm down!" Susan's hand comes to my arm."Fuck! I didn't want it to go this way" I tell her and drag my hand through my hair. I turn around and walk into the living room, open the cabinet and take out a glass, and pour myself some whiskey. Taking the whole glass in one go before I pour myself another one." Just give me a glass and bring the bottle!" Susan says when she walks over to the couch and sits down. The rest of us does the same. Damien walks over and grabs his own glass before he takes a seat.Everyone is silent and processing what just happened." I will go and talk to her!" Susan says and I snap my head to look at her." I don't know if that's a good idea!" I say and take the last in my glass." Silas you have to trust me on this one, give me some time and I will go and talk to her.!" I sigh and sit back on the couch
Isabella povThis last week has been intense, I went to my lawyers for two days and had to fix the new contracts and have been focusing on getting them done. We need to have this meeting and place all the cards on the table, if he wants a war after I reveal everything then let's have it! I'm prepared as much as I can.I haven’t heard anything from him this last week, I had guessed he would try and contact me at least but there was nothing from him at all. A part of me is sad about it, on the other side I happy if he finally will let me be.Standing in front of the mirror I have to get ready for the banquet I promised Daniel I would come as his company too. I have bought a champagne-colored long evening gown for this occasion and after some makeup and my hair in a nice hair set, I am done. I don’t feel like going to this sort of event right now, there is a good chance Silas will be there too and after last weekend I would l
Isabella povMy phone keeps ringing waking me up in the morning from my sleep. Sitting up in my bed I take up my phone and look at the time, it’s Monday morning, and the clock isn’t even seven. Looking at the caller I se it's Nelly and I answer it." What's the problem? " I ask her right away, she would never call this early if it wasn’t something urgent." I'm so sorry for waking you up but your lawyers are here, they haven’t booked a meeting and I don't know what you want me to do?" Lifting off the covers I place my feet down on the floor." cancel all my meetings for today and give them some breakfast I will come in right away!" Hanging up the phone I start to run around and get ready for the day as quickly as I can. Rushing out of the house when I am dressed I'm met by the new driver, I haven’t seen or heard anything from Lukas since he left after the banquet. He jus
Isabella povComing back to the office I take a seat behind my desk and turn on my computer when Nelly comes walking inside. She hands me a cup of coffee and I take it from her and place it down on the table." I have someone who keeps calling and want to have a meeting with you. I have told her you are booked for the next couple of weeks but she keeps calling every day hoping you would get a moment of free time" looking at Nelly I can't imagine whatever it could be that is so important for anyone to keep calling." Who is it?" I see Nelly looking down at her phone before she answers." A Susan Andersson" I sit back in my chair and close my eyes. Whatever could Silas' wife want? I have nothing to say to her, and that night in their home I don’t know what to believe. When I met her at the banquet I thought she was really nice and funny, I made it clear to them all that I want nothing to do with
Isabella povLooking between Mia and Lukas I can’t believe what I'm hearing." what else?" I say and want her to continue." Lukas met with Silas yesterday at his office and wants to have a deal with Lukas!" She stops and I se she has a hard time telling me what it is, she keeps looking at Lukas and I guess she wants him to continue. I look between them and guess I won't like what she will tell me." Just tell me!" I say and sigh in frustration." He wants Lukas to spy on you and let Silas know every man you talk to or go on a date with" I just look at Mia and can't believe what she tells me, who gave him the right to keep tab on me?" And what will he get in return?" I ask and feel how my anger rises in my body." Silas will keep his hands away from her and even help Lukas to win her back!" The anger I feel in my body from knowing about this has
Isabella pov Waking up the next morning I feel how my cheeks flush just the thought of the moment we had in his office yesterday. I'm lucky his secretary knocked on the door and told him the police were there and needed to talk to him. I'm glad they interrupted when they did and brought me back to reality again. I just rushed out of there without saying anything more. I don’t know what's wrong with me for wanting him despite everything that has happened, I feel messed up in my head and to be honest I should not be alone with him in a room right now. I can’t trust myself with him! Mabie, it’s just because I didn't get closure all those years back. My mind is a mess and there is no point in thinking too much about it. Tossing the blanket off I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and get out, it’s early and I know there is still time before I need to head over to the office. Taking up my phone I look at it and se there is a message on it, I open it and start to read. " Why don't y
Isabella povMy meetings have gone non-stop this whole day and when I finally get to turn off the computer I have a breath of relief. The meeting with my parents couldn't come any more convenient than this, I want to ask them if they can be with my boys when I leave for a couple of days. A week at the most! I know it will be easier for my boys when I am away if my parents are there with them, these weeks have brought them together really close and I am so happy to have them in our lives.My driver stops outside a small restaurant and I recognize it from the time I lived here before, if it’s the same owner they have the best pasta I have ever eaten. I almost feel how my mouth waters just the thought of tasting it again. Opening the door I get outside and a guard comes in with me to the restaurant. I don’t know why Danny demands I have one with me the whole time from now on. I will let him have his way for these days until I leave then I will not put up with it. I have always guards wit
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
