~ Isabella’s POVI could hear Nathan's dark murmur, but I didn't think there was anyone else in the room. After listening absentmindedly for a bit, I realized that he was on the phone. My heart sank and at the same time, I was furious that Nathan would be receiving a call in my room. I tried to listen in on the call, but I eventually gave up not being able to focus on the dizzying pain that was still arcing through my lower belly. I blinked slowly in pain, my mind was hazy as I thought about my unborn child, my baby who couldn’t make it just because of his/her Ignorant mother. I blinked back tears as the feelings of grief and guilt tore through me. I was sad and at that moment, wanted nothing else than for the doctor to come into my room and tell me that it was all a mistake. I wanted to be told and assured that my baby was alive and well.And yet, at the same time, my treacherous heart was telling me that it was for the best. That no child should have to be born to an abusive and mu

~Isabella’s POVNathan and I were so shocked when Damien came in. Nathan quickly moved away from me, still holding the food in his hand and bowing to greet Damien.I stared with unblinking eyes at Damien as I waited for his reaction. I wrapped my arms around myself and lowered my eyes, closing them halfway. I did not want to see the blow coming.Just then, Damien’s action came as a shock. I had expected him to flare up, beating the hell out of my life, asking me why Nathan was in my room. I thought he would kill us both, especially since we had been both alone in the room. Damien was extremely possessive and jealous and I shivered when I remembered an incident that had happened a couple of weeks after we had gotten married. He had fired a guard for grabbing my arm when I stumbled in the stairs. After the guard had left, he had taken me back to the room and had had sex with me all night long. He had been determined to make me feel something for him. Eventually growing frustrated when I

~Isabella’s POVI was dumbfounded when I found out that Nathan had been pretending to be sick. I stared at him, wondering about the sweats he had all over his face and body.All of that was just an act.My heart slowly sputtered to a stop. It had been beating fast and hard and my mind had raced as I had imagined every worst imaginable outcome. I stared at Nathan with tears welling up in my eyes as I whispered brokenly, "Why are you doing this to me, Nathan? What did I ever do to deserve this?""Belle…" He tried to speak, but I raised a hand up, silencing him."I know you know… we both know that I can't help what I feel for you. Even though you rejected me, you are still my mate…"A broken sob escaped me. "I am not happy. Everyday, I have to fight hard to get up from my bed. I just lost my baby and you just made me believe something awful was happening to you… all just for you to get what you want…"I took a deep breath and just when I was about to continue my rant, Albert awkwardly re

~Nathan's POVI blinked rapidly, unable to believe my ears."I beg your pardon?" I heard Albert asking.The guard glared at him, visibly pissed at having to repeat what he had just said."I… Said. Who. Is. Nathan?" he repeated slowly, as though Albert was a toddler.My mind raced as I realized that I had not heard the question wrong. The angry-looking guard standing stiffly in front of me and glaring at both me and Albert had just asked me who Nathan was.I thought long and hard on how to reply and came up with nothing.I turned to Albert, hoping his cunning mind would have come up with something, but he was also just as stumped and confused as I was.If the situation was so dire, I would have burst into laughter at the look on his face. For the first time, he finally looked like a boy of his real age and he was terrified.And I could not blame him for being scared. I was arrogant and had reasonable confidence in my strength and power as an Alpha, but I was not stupid or foolishly pro

~Isabella’s POVI finally slept off when I was eating and after crying and lying down on my bed. It was a relief to have fallen asleep, as my thoughts had been driving me crazy. I was woken up by Mrs Amber. She immediately hugged me when I sat up on the bed, crying and comforting me at the same time. When I saw her crying, the emotions I had buried within me a few days ago exploded within me and I joined her.We cried for more than a minute and when Mrs Amber was done, she comforted me, telling me that I would have another child who would stay with me till my old age.I thanked her for the comforting words and then I watched as she ordered her maids to come into my room. They were all carrying varieties of foods and drinks, those that could last one for more than two days. I gasped in awe when I saw these and then turned to her, telling her that her comforting words were more than enough and also explaining to her that I don’t really have much appetite.She smiled at me and then orde
