I tried to ask him about how he got his invitation but he dismissed me. Adrian warned him off me and took me to his car.We sat quietly in the backseat of his car while he gave the driver instructions on where to go. All of the car ride was silent.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWOADRIAN’S POVI thought my mind was playing tricks on me when my eyes moved through the crowd during my speech and I saw Isabella. I shook my head to get rid of my hallucinations and focus on giving my speech.After I got down from the stage I made my way back to my seat. I sat through the video presentation and the pianist’s presentation without thinking about Isabella again.The first part of dinner was served and I caught sight of someone leaving the hall. It looked like Isabella.“I’ll be back.” I said to Sebastian.“Where are you going?” He asked but I didn’t respond. I was already out of my seat and following behind the woman I thought was Isabella.She was getting close to the main doors.“Isabella.” I called out. She stopped in her tracks and turned around. “You’re really here. I thought I was dreaming or something. What are you doing here?”“I was invited.” She answered.“By who?” I asked.

CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONEISABELLA’S POVI didn’t want to agree to attend the event with Julius as his plus one. Especially after he told me he missed our family and wanted us to get back together. I didn’t want to entertain that idea and make him think there was a chance of us getting back together. I found myself agreeing to go because of one person. Adrian. The only reason I agreed to be Julius’ plus one was because of Adrian. I convinced myself I was doing it to spite him but I knew I was doing it for another reason entirely.I dropped Theo off at Vivian’s place after picking him up from school and went back home to start getting ready for the event. I didn’t know what the event was about. I only knew to dress formally. I’d gone shopping for a new dress after I confirmed it with Julius.The event started at 7pm and by 6:20pm, I was ready and waiting for Julius to pick me up. He texted me and said he had arrived at my building. I didn’t want him to waste his time coming up so I rushed d

CHAPTER SEVENTYADRIAN’S POVI’d been gone for almost two weeks to Germany for a work trip. I wouldn’t lie by saying that something wasn’t wrong. I’d been slacking off from work for a few months now.

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINEISABELLA’S POVAfter almost three weeks of being in the hospital, I was finally cleared to go home. My mother and Jess who were supposed to leave weeks before had stayed until I was out of the hospital. They had to leave eventually. “Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?” My mother asked.“No. I’ve made that clear from the very first day you asked.” I answered in annoyance. She sighed. “You have to think reasonably. You’ve been kidnapped twice in your entire life and it’s all because of that man. I get he’s rich and he’s the father of your son but you don't have to be stuck with him. You can leave the child here and come back with us.”“I wasn’t kidnapped. I already told you that. I was attacked in the parking lot of my workplace.” I’d been trying to convince her for the past few weeks that I wasn’t actually kidnapped.“You don’t have to lie to me.

He nodded to Raphael, hinting at me to walk to him. I went to where Raphael stood, inside a circle of rose petals. I wasn’t expecting this at all. Sure, we had talked about getting married again but I didn’t think it would happen this soon. I wasn’t complaining though.He held my hands. “Camilla.” He started.
