Isabella's Pov

I got up early in the morning, when nothing was making noise in the apartment, the refrigerator lightly humming in the background, and the subtle sounds of the city permeating through the blinds.

I felt sore all over, and I could not describe the causes of the soreness--I was tired and every part of my body was sore, and yet I was not tired of my mind. I was standing on the side of the bed, my hands clasped on my stomach, and I wondered whether this was what it was like to be

  • Betrayed by love    Chapter One Hundred – Forced Dialogue

    Victor's pov I was standing in Isabellas apartment. It felt heavy like the walls were holding onto our history the history of Victor and Isabella. The morning light was on her face. I could see the strain on Isabellas face. Her skin was pale her eyes were tired her lips were pressed tight. It felt like all her secrets all of Isabellas secrets were in the room. It was hard to talk casually hard for me for Victor."I need you to be honest with me Isabella " I said quietly but firmly. "No half-truths, no hiding. I want to know everything, everything about us, about Victor and Isabella. I want to know it."She was twisting the edge of her sweater trying to stay calm trying to stay calm in front of me in front of Victor. I could see that she was hesitant that Isabella was hesitant. She did not answer away and the silence made the tension thicker, thicker between Victor and Isabella."You don't understand " she whispered. "It's not that simple, not that simple for me for Isabella, not that

  • Betrayed by love    Nine-nine Chapter Morning Tension

    Isabella's Pov The morning light entered through my apartment's sheer curtains which created a soft golden ambiance that illuminated the familiar disorder of my living space. The side table contained empty coffee mugs from last night which had been abandoned during the procession stress after the gala. I bent my fingers toward the steam which rose above my cup because the bitter scent of coffee reminded me that I needed to stay active throughout the rest of the day.I examined my image in the hallway mirror while I fixed my dress hem and released the tension from my shoulders and my jawline. The way I carried myself and my ability to stay composed and my choice to battle anxiety through inner strength they all carried equal importance. I had to face Victor today. The time had come for me to face the conflict which had been building between us. My heartbeat matched the sound of a drum which persisted to echo my racing thoughts.I dropped onto the sofa's border while my mind raced with

  • Betrayed by love    Chapter Ninety-Eight – Night Reflections

    Isabella's Pov The gala was finally over. My room was quiet now. All the guests had left. I could hear the city sounds outside my window. I had left it open a bit. I sat on my bed. I took off my heels. My dress still looked like I was going to a party. I let out a breath.I had been holding it in. I thought sitting down would help me relax.I still felt nervous. I felt excited too. Victor did what he wanted to do tonight. It was annoying.. It also made me interested in him. The way he treated me was not right. It made me feel like he was trying to control me.Why did I feel this way about him? Why did my heart like him much? I knew I should not. I kept thinking about our dance. I could not stop thinking about it. He held my hand gently. It felt like it was burned into my skin. My memory still felt it. The music was soft. It made me feel like we were alone in the world. I still felt bad about what happened in the past. Like when I lost the baby. He lied to me.I lay back on my bed. I

  • Betrayed by love    Chapter Ninety-Seven – A Call for Distance:

    Isabella's Pov The mixture of music and laughter and the soft clinking of glasses created a feeling which made me want to leave. My chest became tight because I realized my emotional state had reached a breaking point which made me vulnerable to all the stress from the night and Victor's presence. I required air and space together with distance because I needed every resource available to help me heal from my emotional trauma before I reached the point of public emotional breakdown.I need a moment to myself because I spoke this quiet statement to all present while I intended it more for personal use. My hidden feelings came out through my low-tone voice which could be heard by everyone in the room. I used a nodding motion to leave Victor's side while my body language remained rigid to show calmness should my stomach continue to experience nervousness and residual adrenaline from the situation.The hallways outside the grand ballroom became quiet because the soft light from crystal

  • Betrayed by love    Chapter Ninety-Six – A Glimmer of Trust

    Isabella's Pov The music had turned into a soft waltz which made the gala space around us become less visible. The chandeliers produced shiny lights which reflected onto the polished floor and created bright spots which illuminated the sequins on the dresses and the straight edges of tuxedos. The moment had only one thing for me: the warmth of Victor's hand which held mine while we danced at our regular pace.The loud and irregular heartbeat in my chest became steady whenever he used his hand to guide me through the faintest pressure of his hand at my back. I allowed myself to release my emotions after months of keeping them hidden behind my protective wall which had developed after experiencing betrayal and chaos and keeping secrets. My mind told me to stay away from dangerous things but my heart kept inviting me to enter a risky situation.I tried to speak the words which represented my emotional chaos but they became stuck in my throat. Victor's eyes became dark and intense with a

  • Betrayed by love    Chapter Ninety-Five – Dance of Hesitation

    Victor's Pov My eyes remained fixed on Isabella.I advanced toward her while I wanted to take up all of the space she needed and I wanted to stay committed to my current goal. The moment I got closer to her territory I detected her anxious state through her body language that showed the slight tremor in her hands and her behavior of pulling her dress hemline down to find comfort in the material. The presence of her being made me remember things which included moments of treachery and confusion yet I still remembered those times of kindness and compassion which I could not erase from my memory.“Isabella,” I said softly, allowing the warmth in my voice to bridge the gap. She turned her head slightly to enable us to see each other while she showed a brief moment of recognizing me before her eyes shifted to the ground.“I… I’m not sure if—” she began, her voice barely audible over the orchestra.I interrupted her speech by cutting it short while I gave her a calming smile. “You don’t need
