View MoreIsabella's point of view.It took two whole days for me to become a semi normal human again, even though I had issues. It took two whole days for me to get rid of all the alcohol I had in my system, without going for another. It took two whole days to promise myself that I would continue to be happy, because Amethyst needed a mother. Not a drunk angry woman who couldn't forgive herself.The journey back to self love wasn't going to be an easy one, but I would do anything for my family.Mom and Jacqueline travelled from Paris back to town once they heard I would be receiving visitors now. They were so happy to see me and so was I, to see them.I wasn't even that surprised that Jacqueline had dyed her hair pink."When you have a family that wants you to be the best, the best wife, the best kid, the best of anything, you learn of new ways to disappoint them," She said then leaned in to continue the sentence, "Especially if you didn't make them traumatized when you were a teenager."That
Jason's point of view."You'll be discharged on probation due to the only witness having a faulty memory," The lawyer told Dude during our short visit to the prison, "That's enough to get you released on probation at least."That happened the day after we found Meda. I was still a bit out of it, the whole conversation, the reward I promised Dude if he helped me find my wife. I just wanted to go back to the hospital.Dude stood up and shook the hand of the lawyer, "Thank you very much. I appreciate it," He said, the grin on his face was so wide and bright. It made me almost want to smile as well. Once the lawyer was gone, the smile disappeared from my face."That lawyer is from one of the best firms in the US. I'm sure he would do his best to get you out of here so don't worry," I sighed, before I got up from my own chair and stretched my hand towards him.Dude was a slim guy. He had no muscles and was never known for his strength to win fights. Instead he won with his brain, calculat
Isabella's point of view."What happened to you?" Jason asked the moment he saw me, as I walked into the penthouse.My face was swollen, my lips had bruises all over and I was pretty sure I had a black eye or perhaps two. I was hurt all over. And my clothes were torn at the most unfortunate of places.I couldn't go to a store to get a new cloth. And there was none in my car so I basically had to do the walk of shame just to come home.And the first person I see is Jason. Oh goodness."Who did this to you? Why didn't you call me?" He kept on asking questions upon questions, which checking each and every bruise, "We need to take you to the hospital...."I took my hand from him and huffed. I had no reason to go to the hospital. Cameron wasn't a vicious fighter, she was in a worse shape than me. And she was able to get just a few strong punches in.I did the greater work."Leave me alone please, there's nothing you can do about this so just let it be," I said, smiled a bit at him while I
Isabella's point of view.Jason got us another penthouse in another apartment complex that wasn't owned by him. Furnished it to my satisfaction. And also made sure that he told me nothing about the whole security cameras in the house.If there was any, I had no idea about them."You can't seem to process what happened that day, you keep on getting flashbacks" The therapist Jason got for me said, she smiled like we were some kind of old friends.Her bubbly personality was a fresh start from most of the tensed people I met recently. I felt like they were holding themselves back from talking about the whole traumatizing case.They had no idea I was even pregnant. No one knew about that pregnancy but Jason and I.I nodded, my head bowed down so I could look at my entwined fingers.I had no idea what to say to a woman like this. I had no idea how she was going to help me recover from the trauma.Was it even right for me to be traumatized? I mean, yes, I lost my baby but I didn't even know
Isabella's point of view."She would have to stay in the hospital for one more day. We need to run a few more tests and make sure she's fully physically okay before we allow her out," The doctor spoke to Jason, few metres away from me, "We want her at her best."I pretended like I didn't hear what they said. Or I pretended like I didn't see them when they talked about me.It helped me. It calmed my mind. If I didn't see them, then I wouldn't have to accept that my baby was actually gone.Lost. It was a miracle I survived.And after everything the only thing I got as a reward, after meeting up with Zachary and allowing him to take me, I couldn't even get him for his crimes. All I got was my baby dead.Because of me."Mummy, look at what I drew," Amethyst cried out from where she sat, on a chair close to my bed.I forced a smile onto my lips, "That's nice Thyst, draw something else now," I said, barely taking a glance at the drawing.If anyone truly asked me what I wanted, I was scared
Isabella's point of view.I swear my head hurt like a bitch when I woke up, all I could see were blinding white lights everywhere and sometimes the occasional doctor with their white coats.I went in and out of consciousness and every time, I woke up at a different time of the day.Sometimes I saw Jason, sometimes he hovered on me, other times he was screaming for the doctor. But I heard him, multiple times.I heard him when he talked to me every time. The sweet words he said to me while he caressed my forehead, the kisses he placed there and sometimes, when I felt really strong, I tried my best to squeeze his hand.There was a time I heard a child speaking. I was pretty sure it was Amethyst because of how soft she had spoken. She had begged me to wake up for her and I tried, I really tried.I just couldn't. And then I slipped out of consciousness again.This time, I was determined to remain conscious.The doctor by my side smiled kindly at me, "Oh Mrs Wells, you're awake," He touched
Jason's point of view.I placed my hand gently on her head, noting the temperature difference between now and the last time."She's okay, just sleeping," Someone said from behind me, startling me.The sound of heels clicking as they touched the floor prompted me to turn around so I could see who was there."Nice to see you after so long, Jason," Cameron's lips stretched into a wide smile as she said that.The corners of my lips rose up in a polite smile, "It's good to see you too, Miss McClain, how's the family?""Family's good," Her eyes moved quickly to look at Meda, "I feel so sad seeing her in such a state, I called multiple times, I tried to visit, I even went to Paris and discovered she was no longer there," She placed her hand on her chest while her entire face morphed to one of shock, eyebrows raised, "And the next thing I'm seeing on the news is news about her abduction and your brother being on the run. It's all so..... I don't even know the right word to use for it."I had
Jason's point of viewIf I wasn't so pissed off at the moment, I guessed my brother's whole new bad boy demeanor would have been a joke. Something to laugh about with Zade at the bar or while having wine at the balcony.But it wasn't a joke. He was walking on thin ice. And his foolishness would get him killed if he wasn't careful."Why did he have to do something like this?" Zade asked, he twirled the drink around in his glass and focused his gaze on a painting at the end of the room.On the other hand, I was too pissed off to even stand or sit. I walked from one end of the room to the other, thinking about what to do.The package my brother sent was still open on the table, locks of my wife's hair spread across some sort of newspaper with what looked like blood smeared around it.Zade dropped the wineglass on the table, "He wouldn't do something like that right? He's not so wrong in the head that he would actually kill Isabella. That woman did no wrong to him."At this point, I had n
Isabella's point of view.Today made it exactly fifteen days since I found myself in the same shack with Zachary. Nowadays he did not leave the shack for anything, not even to stack up on food.I was hungry. He was hungry. The electricity to the shack stopped working.All I had before it stopped working were my vitamins and the meals I made in a secret compartment in the refrigerator.I was grateful he had no idea about that, all I had to do was wait till he fell asleep and then ate as much as I wanted before he woke up.It was a win situation for me in a way, but now I had nothing. I just had no idea what he would be like if he stayed hungry for such a long time, I had no idea what he might do to me to be honest.I sat on the couch opposite him, watched him as he used a piece of paper to make a makeshift fan for himself just so he could get some cool air.The electricity to the shack just had to stop working last night, like something destroyed the wires."You know," I started, I mad
