CHAPTER 38
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

TAKE A CHANCE ON ME CHAPTER 39
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

Once she arrived in the living room, Isabelle witnessed an astonishing scene, something she didn't see every day. Chris was hugging and kissing his wife, Richard, and Christine, whom she hadn't known officially since she came to work at the villa, were holding their little girls, covering them with little kisses and hugging them tightly. Billy, who started to grow a nice, very chic beard, was talking and laughing with his mother. The only people out of place at this time were her and her father who kept drinking, sitting on the couch. This happy moment belonged to the Grayson family, so she tried to get close to her father to ask him to leave.“Belle!” Billy shouted loud her nickname and that scared her a bit. Hearing Billy, Andrew raised his head to better foll

The last words were a direct message for Marie and Chris and they started smiling. Isabelle’s cheeks turned red. It was so embarrassing the shameful way her father was pushing her into Billy Grayson's arms. But Billy found this idea rather interesting since he also thought the same things about him and Belle."Your words are music to my ears," he replied, looking closely at Andrew. “I was thinking of inviting Isabelle to the theater Saturday night. We can have dinner first and then go and see a nice show.” He turned to Isabelle. “I know you like music a lot and I'd love to go with you and see a musical. I promise you that I will behave like a real gentleman and we won't be late.” A slight smile appeared on Marie's lips. Her son certainly wasn’t wasting time in small talk. But Isabelle's express

Andrew and Isabelle got out of the car in front of the entrance. Lucy came out of the house to greet them. Isabelle smiled at her. She wanted so much to hug her, but she knew that her father was annoyed by these signs of affection between her and the housekeeper. Lucy showed the driver where to take the suitcase. Then John got into the car and returned to the villa. Isabelle looked at him with a narrow heart. She wanted to get back in the car and leave with him, but instead, she closed the door and followed her father to have yet another conversation about the same argument."Billy likes you a lot," Andrew said as he entered the living room. “You absolutely have to reassure him! I have a couple of ideas that could bring me a lot of money and I need him and Chris by my side in order to make it. It would be even more interesting if he would become my son-in-law. You're old enough

The elevator doors were opening and Shawn was preparing to enter when his cousin's voice stopped him. He turned and looked at Billy. The two of them had spoken little since the return of Billy and Chris from Europe’s trip. Shawn didn't like the fact that his cousin was dating Andrew Baldwin's daughter. He was hoping that, since she no longer worked at the villa, that their little story would die the way that it was born... suddenly. He smiled at Billy and walked slowly towards him.“What’s wrong, Bill? Can I help you with something?” he asked his cousin. “I’m a bit short of spare time, I have to go and see Danielle. For Saturday night she has a special date in mind. There is a premiere at the Golden Gate Theater...”"You and I have an unfinished conversation and I think that it's time to put all our cards on

Chris walked toward his son and looked at him carefully. He squinted just a little and he shook his head slightly. He was a little surprised by what Billy had just told him.“I didn't know you were so much into Andrew's daughter. In fact, your way of acting around her the other day seemed strange and a little exaggerated. I didn't know you were interested in her.”"I like Isabelle, dad, I like her a lot, but we will never be more than friends. She doesn't love me; she will never love me.""So, why are you..." Chris began talking but stopped when he saw a strange sparkle in his son's eyes. Oh, now I’ve got it... You're playing God right now. I don't think it's very clever of you to tease Shawn this way.”“Look, dad, these days I&r

There could be heard a strange noise in the room... a weird song. Isabelle opened her eyes and looked everywhere around her trying to figure out what was the noise she was hearing. Maybe it came from outside... sometimes the stable guys while working were listening to music on the radio. The little song was still going on and Isabelle rose from her armchair. The noise seemed to be coming from her desk drawer. Isabelle opened it, but at this point, the noise stopped. The only thing Isabelle saw was the cell phone Marie had given her. The display was on and she took it and read what was written on it: ‘you have 3 missed calls’ and ‘you have 3 new messages’. All of them were from Marie. Isabelle had been home for three days and she remembered that she hadn’t called Marie yet as she had promised her before leaving the villa. Isabelle had put the cell phone in the drawer and forgotten
