Since the talk with Sydney I've been spacing out a lot even when I'm talking to Harry.
"I can't believe you're now keeping secrets from me B. Yeah I respect there yours to keep but what happened to telling each other everything?" Harry starts his daily rants. I roll my eyes.
"I've told you Harry, I can't tell you and for a record I'm not entitled to tell you every goddamn thing. Just let it be." I made a promise to Sydney and I can't break it. He made me swear to never tell this even to Harry. Besides telling him would also be risking his life. I can't do that to him.
"You've not been yourself these past week since you left with that Kings man." I start laughing. Harry doesn't like Sydney and has been calling him all sorts of names that come to his mind. "Just tell me what happened. I don't trust him."
I take a glass of water and take a large gulp. This talk and not telling Harry le
"What's so exciting about watching a necrophiliac and a zoophiliac." I groan into the pillow I'm clutching while watching Twilight with Sydney. Yeah. I know. I wouldn't imagine myself watching a movie with this man.Sydney dropped me home from the doctor's appointment and an hour later came back saying he had an argument with his father at his office and he needed to cool down. Since I had already started watching, he joined me. Worst mistake ever."I swear Sydney if you don't shut up and watch I'll drag your stupid ass out of this house." I say shooting him a glare. Since he started watching he's been complaining about every single item and complaining about their acting. Note to self; never watch a movie with Sydney Kings again."Why did..." He starts but I jump and shut him up. "That was the last warning. Now go do something else and let me watch in peace. Go somewhere else and cool down. I'm so sick
"Focus on the target Isabella.""Well if you stop breathing next to my ear maybe I'll get it this time." Sydney is standing directly behind me and to say I'm not even slightly affected would be a total lie.I try to shoot the target but I miss it by a few inches and I groan in frustration. "We can still come back tomorrow. You shouldn't strain." I nod but try once again but the same thing happens.I've forced Sydney to teach me how to shoot. I know some self defense that I learnt when my kidnapper threatened to come back for me when he went to jail and since I'm pregnant, I can't get involved with such vigorous activity and so I decided to shoot. It took a lot of persuasion to convince Sydney and now here I am after an hour of training at the back of the cottage."Are you hungry? I can fix you something to eat." Sydney says as he heads to the kitchen. It's been four days since I came to this place and Sydney decided to come live he
SYDNEY'S POVBEEPBEEPBEEPThe only sound in Isabella's room.Its been five hours since I was allowed to see her. I take her hand and look at her. She seems so fragile. So small. All this because I couldn't take care of her. Because I told her she could come with me to the office. Because I broke up with Bianca. Because I can't get out of the mafia. Because I... Because I got her pregnant. She's here because of me.Bringing Isabella into my life was a huge mistake. A mistake that I don't regret. I look at her face and remember the day she came for the interview and bumped into me. She looked so fierce and even though that Martha had tried to degrade her during the interview she stood up for herself. She looked so fragile but fierce at the same time. I was intrigued.I place my palm on her bump. Something I've always wanted to do since I discovered
"I'm so sorry." I feel my hand lifted and connects with something soft. "I've put you into so much danger so many times and for that I'm sorry." Danger? Who is this person talking to me?"I don't know how you'll take this but I have to leave. We might meet again in future and I really don't know what to think about that. I wish I could tell you you're the best thing that has happened to me so far and I'm sorry because I tried to get you involved with my life for selfish reasons." What did he do? Why don't I agree with what he's saying? Something lands on my stomach. I wonder why he would place his hand on my stomach."I'll miss you. Goodbye Izzy." Izzy. I've heard that name before. And why can't I move anything? What happened to me? I feel so tired. Maybe I should sleep some more.*************"The effects of the medicine should wear off in a couple of hours." An unfamiliar voice s
It's a month since I heard from Sydney. A month since I started despising that manipulative man. A month since I experienced something close to a heartbreak. I don't know if I should call it a heartbreak since I can't say I loved Sydney but my heart was broken. I felt betrayed. I felt used. Sometimes I miss him but I have to move on. I accepted my baby won't have the picture perfect family for him. Yeah, I'm having a boy. A boy I would call mine.Harry's bedroom door opens and a sleepy Amelia comes out. She looks tired in the morning and I try as much not to think why. She's dressed in short pajama shorts and a matching top written on 'NIGHTY NIGHTY'. She looks cute. What makes me wonder is the chocker on her neck. Why would she sleep with it. It has red rubies on it and a word I can't read engraved on it. Okay! It looks so beautiful though."Morning. Coffee." She mumbles and heads towards the coffee maker.
Sydney said I would never get involved with this mafia shit. No one would know that we talked about it. Did he think I would tell anyone after abandoning me and the baby?"I don't understand whatever you're telling me Mr James. Sydney never told me anything." 'Just act dumb Isabella.' I tell myself. Maybe he will leave me alone."Well, I just told you about it. So you still have to sign." Luke smirks at this and I roll my eyes."What happens if I don't sign it?" There's no way I'll sign it. There's no way out. I can't raise my son in this life."As I said, you'll be treated as a threat against the family. All you're close ones will be tortured to death as you watch and the same will be done to you later on." Luke says this nonchalantly. You could think he's talking about the weather."Look. I don't want you to sign this under threats. Sydney feels li
"According to the tests we did two days ago, your mother is physically, emotionally and mentally stable to be able to be back home in two weeks. We have reduced her dosage to a minimal so we will have to observe how she reacts to them for a couple of weeks and if it's a positive change, she'll be going with you." Doctor Maxwell Norman has been on my mother's case and has updated me since I learnt about her.My uncle, Jason, let out a shaky breath. I glance at him and see he has a large smile on his face. It's been long since I last saw him and to say I missed my uncle JJ is an understatement."I've waited for this talk for years. My sister is getting better. Thanks to you Bella." I smile at him and take his hands into mine."She was never meant to be here." I say in a small voice as I tear up. Pregnancy hormones! Or maybe it's because I just realized I'm going to have my mom next to me with no limitatio
"Who is Amelia Russo?" I ask Sydney even though my mind is already expecting the worst. It can't be her. Amelia is Canadian and she's Amelia Martin. Harry trusts her. They knew each other even before I met Sydney. Why am I trying to convince myself when its not her?"Amelia Russo is Marko's second child. Bianca's sister." Sydney looks straight into my eyes. I let out a breath in relief."For a moment you almost got me there." Why would he ask me what I know about someone I've never met or even knew exists? "I never knew Bianca had a sister." Sydney raises from the stool and heads to the living room and picks a blue file from the table. He comes back and stands directly in front of me and opens the file then hands it over to me.I place it on the counter and curiously read the information.Name Amelia Rose Russo MartinAge 22 years oldSta
