Isabella’s POV

“You’re the father of Betty’s child,” I said, my voice trembling with disbelief as my eyes widened in shock.

Asher froze. His eyes mirrored mine—wide, stunned. He pushed his hair back with shaking fingers, and the gesture made my stomach twist even more.

“So it’s true,” I whispered, a painful lump rising in my throat. “You’re the father.”

He stepped forward instinctively, but I took a step back. His expression shifted instantly—fear flashing across his face like a crack in glass.

“Isabella, please… listen to me,” he said, his voice cracking with desperation. “She says I’m the father, but I swear—I know I’m not. I’m not the father of her child.”

I let out a sharp laugh, bitter and broken.

“You slept with her, Asher,” I snapped, eyes burning. “Have you forgotten? You fucked her.”

From the corner, Michael cleared his throat. “I’ll leave you two,” he muttered before walking out and closing the door behind him.

Asher’s voice dropped low. “I admit I slept

    Isabella’s POVA dull ache throbbed behind my eyes as they fluttered open, the ceiling above me blurring in and out of focus. A low groan slipped past my lips before I could stop it.“Bella, you’re finally awake.” Asher’s voice carried a thread of anxious relief.I tried to push myself up, but my arms felt like water. Asher was already at my side, steadying me with careful hands. “Easy… be careful,” he murmured, his gaze searching mine.I managed a faint smile, weak but reassuring.“Here, drink this.” He pressed a glass of water into my hand. The cool surface grounded me, and I took a cautious sip.“You’ve been asleep for hours,” he added, worry lacing his words. “Drink a little more.”His concern softened me, so I obeyed, draining the glass before passing it back.“Asher… where’s Tessa?” My voice came out barely above a whisper.“She’s with Sean. He’s looking after her.” A small smile tugged at my lips at that. But Asher’s expression didn’t ease.“Bella, I really think we should call

    Zachary’s POV The night pressed in around me, heavy and quiet, but I could feel it—someone hovering, watching. My skin prickled. I snapped my head to the side, eyes cutting through the shadows, but there was nothing. Maybe I was overthinking. Still, every step I took felt like it echoed louder than it should have. A flicker caught at the corner of my vision. My jaw locked tight, claws sliding free before I could stop them. “Whoever you are,” I growled, voice rough with rage, “you’re making a mistake.” Only silence answered—just the rhythmic chirp of crickets mocking me. My irritation burned hotter. “I’ll kill you if you sneak up on me,” I snapped, my voice sharp enough to cut. “Would you really kill me?” The voice slithered from behind me. I spun, claws slashing through the air—nothing. Just empty space. “Come on, Zachary,” the voice teased, light and taunting. “Is that all you’ve got?” My patience frayed. “Zara,” I snarled, her name bitter on my tongue. She drop

    Asher’s POVI wanted to tell her I accepted we couldn’t be together, that I’d step back if it meant those tears would vanish from her eyes. But the words wouldn’t come—because they’d be a lie. She was my world, the only reason my heart still beat. I’d die for her without hesitation. So why should I let her go now?Her gaze locked on mine, unblinking, desperate—pleading—for me to say something. Tessa’s quiet sobs filled the room like an echo of all the pain we couldn’t escape.“Bella, no,” I said, my voice cutting the silence. Her brows knitted in confusion.“I know you want me out of your life,” I continued, my throat tightening. “And I can’t help but blame myself for everything that happened—after I swore I’d protect you, after I swore nothing would touch you.” My words trembled, each one breaking me open.“Asher, I—” she began.“No, Bella,” I cut in, firmer this time. “I can’t leave you now, not in this storm. Your mom was murdered, and I…” my chest rose sharply, my voice steadied i

    Isabella’s POVTears slid down my cheeks, hot and relentless, blurring my vision as I forced a smile in his direction. My teeth dug into my lip until I tasted iron. My gaze dropped to my mother, limp in my arms, her body drenched in blood. My hands trembled as I brushed my fingers over her face and gently closed her eyes.This can’t be real. This can’t be life.“Bella…” Asher’s voice was calm but weighted, almost deliberate.I lifted my eyes to him, tears swimming and burning.“They took my mother from me, Asher.” My lips curved into a broken smile. “They won.” My voice quivered, fragile, like it could shatter at any second. “Why did they do that? Their problem was with me, wasn’t it? Why her? She was innocent—she never hurt anyone. Why take the only parent I had left? Why take my whole world?” My words spilled out with ragged sobs, tears dripping freely down my face until I could no longer control them.“Bella, I… I—” his voice cracked, and his eyes glassed with tears. “I’m sorry.

    Asher’s POVI finally found my dad’s diary. Three months of searching… three months of silence. Too much silence. No word from Zach. No word from Zara. It’s as if she’s vanished into thin air. I’d like to see it as a good sign, but the unease in my chest says otherwise.The diary is coated in dust, edges rough from age. I brush it off and try to open it—nothing. The cover refuses to budge. My brows knit. “What the hell…” The leather creaks under my grip as I force it, but it doesn’t even twitch.I glance around the abandoned library, its air thick with the scent of old paper and neglect. My gaze snags on a small brass key resting on a cracked shelf. A humorless chuckle escapes me—what use is a key for a book?But the moment my fingers close around it, the metal warms in my palm. A faint glow seeps from it… and from the diary. My heart stutters. Turning the book over, I spot a tiny lock embedded in the spine.The key slips in with an almost magnetic pull. Click. The diary snaps open.E

    Isabella’s POV “Asher!” I called, my eyes wide with panic. He couldn’t get the wrong idea right?. He stormed toward us, eyes locked on Zachary, and without warning, slammed a fist into his jaw. I flinched as the sound of the impact echoed through the room. “What the fuck are you doing in my house?” he growled, voice laced with rage. Zachary let out a harsh laugh, rubbing his jaw with zero concern. “Your punches are getting weak,” he taunted, clearly trying to provoke him. Before Asher could lunge at him again, I threw myself between them, heart racing. “Asher, please—trust me. It’s not what it looks like,” I said quickly, hands up as if that could keep him grounded. “Zach’s here because he’s worried about you.” Asher’s eyes narrowed, and his jaw tightened. “Really, Bella? He cares about me?” His tone dripped with disbelief and fury. “Are you serious right now?” He turned his attention back to Zachary. “What the hell did you say to her?!” He moved to swing again, bu
