Honeymoon Isabella hastily gathered clothes and essentials into suitcases, her excitement for the trip bubbling over despite her sudden bout fatigue. With each item she packed, her heart raced with anticipation, but a nagging feeling of unease lingered in the back of her mind.As she zipped up the last suitcase, Isabella's vision blurred, and the room spun around her. She stumbled backward, gripping onto the edge of the bed to steady herself, her breath coming in shallow gasps.David emerged from the bathroom, his gaze instantly zeroing in on Isabella's pale face and trembling hands. "Isabella, what's wrong?" he asked, rushing to her side.Isabella forced a shaky smile, waving him off. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy. Must be all the excitement," she mumbled, trying to brush off her symptoms.David's brow furrowed with concern, but he respected Isabella's attempt to downplay her condition. "Are you sure?" he pressed gently, his hand resting on her shoulder.Isabella nodded, swallow
Complications "Isabella, are you feeling okay?" he asked, furrowing his brow with concern as he noticed her struggling to hang up her clothes.Isabella forced a smile, brushing off his worries with a dismissive wave of her hand. "I'm fine, David, really," she insisted, though her voice wavered slightly. "Just a little tired from the journey, that's all."But as she spoke, another wave of dizziness washed over her, causing her to sway on her feet. David's eyes widened in alarm, his instincts kicking in as he rushed to her side."Isabella, you don't look well at all," he exclaimed, his voice filled with worry as he gently guided her to sit on the bed. "We need to get you some help."Isabella shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes as she struggled to make sense of what was happening. "I don't understand, David," she whispered, her voice barely above a whisper. "I thought I was just tired, but..."But before she could finish her sentence, darkness crept in at the edges of her visi
Kim's Exciting lifeDavid had become an expert on pregnancy cravings, devouring every article and video he could find. He had taken over all the household chores, refusing to let Isabella lift a finger. Everything she needed, he brought to her directly. Isabella spent most of her time resting on the bed, feeling both grateful and slightly suffocated by David's attentiveness.One afternoon, while David had stepped out to get something from the local market, Isabella’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw Kim’s name flash across it. Isabella’s eyes lit up with surprise and excitement."Kim! Oh my God, Kim!" she screamed into the phone as she answered."Isabella!" Kim’s voice echoed back, equally enthusiastic. "I've been trying to reach you! How have you been? How's Disney Town?"Isabella laughed, feeling a rush of joy at hearing her friend’s voice. "It's been a whirlwind, Kim. There's so much to tell you. But first, you tell me everything! How’s work? How’s life? How's the com
Safe delivery Back in New York, Yvonne was pacing in the living room, her mind racing. She had been frustrated by the investigator’s lack of progress. She wanted to know what David and Isabella were up to, and why they were staying in Disney Town for so long.Chris walked into the room, noticing Yvonne’s agitation. “What’s wrong now, Yvonne?”“It’s that useless investigator. He still hasn’t found anything,” Yvonne snapped.“Maybe there’s nothing to find. Maybe they’re just… enjoying their time there,” Chris suggested cautiously.Yvonne glared at him. “You’re too naive, Chris. There’s always something going on. And I want to know what it is.”Chris sighed, feeling the weight of Yvonne’s expectations. “I’ll talk to him again tomorrow. Maybe we need to try a different approach.”Yvonne’s expression softened slightly. “Fine. But I want results, Chris.”“Okay, Yvonne. I’ll do my best,” Chris promised, though he felt increasingly helpless.The next morning, Chris called the investigator ag
Chapter oneThe gallery was bustling with activity as Isabella made her way through the crowds. She was here to see the work of a new artist, one whose paintings hadcaught her eye in a local magazine. His name was David, and from what she had read, he was a humble painter who lived a simple life.As she approached his section of the gallery, Isabella saw him standing by his paintings, talking to a group of admirers. He caught her eyes immediately - he was tall and lean, with sandy brown hair and bright blue eyes.

He had never met anyone like her before, and he couldn't wait to see her again.Isabella sat on her couch, staring out the window as she thought about her last relationship. She had been with Jackson for almost a year, but it had ended in heartbreak when she discovered he had been cheating on her.As she thought about it, she realized there had been warning signs all along.

Thanks for being here for me.""Anytime," Kim replied, smiling warmly. "Now, tell me more about this first date."As she looked through her closet, she decided to wear a simple dress that didn't look too expensive.
