CHAPTER 32
Someone shouted his name and Shawn saw his aunt running towards him along with another person... it was John, their driver... Marie was next to him in a second, and together with the driver, she helped him to walk towards home. Shawn passed by Isabelle, who was standing near the front door with Frannie and Diana, trying to calm them down. His aunt made him sit on the couch and she hugged him tightly.
“Sweetheart, are you okay?” she asked, extremely worried.
"Yes, aunt Marie, I think I am..." he answered softly, brushing his hair with his fingers. His white shirt was stained with blood and he felt a strong need to drink a drop of whiskey. "Trust me, it's nothing. It’s just a little scratch, that's all. But my car...”
“Ah, that damn car!” Marie exclaimed. "John," she said to the driver, "please

Sunday morning, Shawn woke up with a slight headache. Fortunately, the accident of the night before hadn’t caused too much damage and there had been no injuries apart from a small cut on his cheek that was already closing very well. He got out of bed pushing the black silk sheets and took the remote control to raise the blinds. The morning was very sunny and he opened the window to breathe the morning’s fresh air. From the terrace, he could hear the voices of his nieces who were talking to Marie. Shawn loved those two little angels so much, loved hearing their voices after a day of work. Richard and Christine were so lucky... Shawn decided to take a quick shower to relax a bit and then he would go downstairs and would spend the morning next to Marie, the girls, and... Isabelle.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned abruptly."I'm going to take a look inside the kitchen, to see if everything is all right with the guys of the association and then we'll go home," Marie said.“As you wish. The little ones and I are waiting for you here, ok?"Isabelle replied trying to smile.“All right. Ah, Shawn got a call from... from that woman. She arrived, uninvited, at the villa,” she added and squeezed Isabelle's hand. “I don't know how much Shawn was willing to invite her to lunch, but... she's already there. I don’t understand what is he seeing in this woman. Why is Shawn still with her when he can see that she’s no good?”"She is a beautiful, intelligent woman," Isabelle said in a tone so normal that surpr

It was one of the worst Sundays she had experienced lately. Danielle had stayed at the villa much more than usual, but at least she had avoided being outside, on the terrace, together with Isabelle and Marie. Before dinner, Shawn had decided to drive her home, so he took Billy's car and they both left for the city, to Danielle's apartment. The girls were playing under the tree where Isabelle had thought to ask Marie to build a little treehouse for them. It would have been one more thing to bring the girls together. Frannie thought she was already a princess, so the treehouse could be her castle and Diana loved to climb trees.“Sweetie, today I received some news from my husband...” Marie started.“Oh...”&ld

They started walking in silence and after a few minutes, Shawn spoke."You avoided me all day," he said without too many words.“I had my reasons to do it.” Shawn took her arm firmly, but without hurting her, and Isabelle found herself in front of him. He wanted to see her face in the moonlight.“Little Belle, I want to hear something from you...”“Please, stop! I would like to go back inside!” she said fearfully."Isabelle, I want to hear you saying my name." She felt that she was about to die from all the emotion. The way Shawn was touching her at that moment wa

His hands began to caress her face. His eyes followed the line of Isabelle's face and stopped on her mouth. Very softly, his head bent towards her.“This weekend, starting with the night of the party, has been extremely intense for both of us. Both you and I felt a fire burning strong within us, you can't deny it,” Shawn said to Isabelle in a hoarse voice. “I want to see how strong this fire is. Belle, I have to taste you again to understand it. I still want to taste your lips once again...” As he was still speaking to her, his lips joined Isabelle's. It was a test for him. When she protested, he felt the impulse to withdraw, but when Isabelle let herself go, he attacked again, enjoying the sweetness of her lips, the warmth of her mouth. Isabelle relaxed in his arms and Shawn pressed h

A black truck entered the driveway that led to the "Villa Mimosa" main entrance. Isabelle put down her little diary and the pen and got up from her chair. The girls were playing quietly and Marie was inside, informing Rosa about the last touch of the lunch and dinner. The four Graysons had to be back home around lunchtime and Marie wanted everything to be absolutely perfect. She couldn't wait to see her husband, her two boys, and Christine, her daughter-in-law. Her impatience was so infectious that Isabelle had to take the girls out, to keep them calm. Isabelle took a few steps to better see the truck. It couldn’t be Mr. Grayson and the others; it was too early to have them home. Besides, Marie had decided to send John with the limousine to the airport to bring everyone home as quickly as possible. John had just lef

Isabelle heard a shy knock on the door. She closed the closet and then went to open the door. In front of her were Frannie and Diana. Without waiting to be invited in, the two girls ran to the bed and sat down."What's happening, mes chères?" (my dears) she asked, trying to stay calm. Looking at their faces, Isabelle understood that the girls had come to say goodbye to her. “Do you need help to prepare?”"No..." they muttered together. "Granny told us that you will leave today..." Frannie added.“Reste avec nous, Belle! T'en vas pas!” (Stay here with us, Belle! Don't go!) Diana exclaimed getting down from the bed and approaching Isabelle to give her a huge hug.“Mes amours, (My babies) you
