CHAPTER 60
The next day, Andrew got out of bed and he dressed, willing to go into town. He was feeling good... He hadn't felt this in a long time, way too long… Since the night he fell down the stairs since he lost his wife, Michelle. He left his room and saw Isabelle who was cleaning the living-room.
“It's incredible! It's really wonderful!” he exclaimed approaching his daughter who looked at him totally amazed. “I feel good, I'm myself again! I’m Andrew Baldwin again, healthy and strong!” He smiled at his daughter even if he had a strange look. “Isabelle, I absolutely have to go to the city and take care of something. And I have to do it today. I will ask James to take me to San Francisco.”
She continued to look at her father, unable to believe what she was seeing and hearing. Isabel

“You told me that he won’t be here,” she whispered, looking nervously at Billy."Shawn said to all of us that he would’ve spent the day with his fiancée," he said, a little perplexed. "Belle, I promise you; I didn't know." They got out of the car, but Isabelle wanted to go back home. She didn't want to be there, she couldn't be there, with Shawn present. She didn't want to make a scene, so she decided that after lunch, she would make up an excuse and leave the villa. The day had been perfect up to this point, a quick lunch with the Graysons, and then she would have gone back home to her father. Marie, Chris, and Shawn approached the two of them. Shawn smiled gazing at Isabelle’s astonished face. He was wearing jeans and a blue shirt that was cov

Isabelle decided to take a walk on the lawn in front of the terrace. In her mind, she saw Frannie and Diana running around her, laughing happily. She loved those two girls and hoped to see them later that day. She approached the large tree that stood in front of her old room. Isabelle looked up and saw the little house in the tree she had asked to be built for the girls. She smiled happily, unaware that Shawn was a few inches away from her and that he was watching her carefully. He was leaning against the terrace door and was silently following her every move. As she was returning to the terrace, Isabelle saw Rosa speak to Shawn. She spoke to him in Spanish and he answered her quickly and fluently in the same language. When she heard what he was saying to Rosa, Isabelle's heart almost stopped and she felt a cold shiver down her spine. Since she

What he just said to her had awakened all Isabelle’s senses... This sweet word torture had to end there! Isabelle raised her trembling arms towards him and wrapped them around his neck, pulling his head down, trying to get Shawn's mouth closer to her body once again."Do you want me to kiss you again, my little Belle?" he whispered.“Yes... Please, Shawn... Please...” Isabelle's frantic sighs excited Shawn. His lips started a captivating dance on Isabelle's warm skin, touching her so imperceptibly that she felt her body touched by a spring breeze. She tried with all her might to bring Shawn's mouth closer to her body, but he resisted her attacks, torturing her on purpose until she started moaning. Only then he allowed her hands to pull his hea

Realizing what he had done, Shawn was stunned. Needless to try to tell her that his intention hadn't been to take her virginity, but he knew she wouldn't believe him. All apologies and regrets won’t ever change what had happened. He had taken her most precious thing... And who knows, maybe she expected him to ask her now to marry him. Obviously, she’ll do it since, like an idiot, he didn’t use a condom, and that there was a risk that Isabelle could get pregnant. Once the dear daddy will find out everything, he will demand that he marry her. He just did something so stupid! Without saying a word, he walked away from her and started dressing. With the hands still trembling, with her face wet with tears cried in silence and full of shame, Isabelle got out of bed. She faltered a little but managed to keep her balance. Isabel

When Billy entered the house, he looked around to see where Belle and Shawn were. He didn't want to disturb them, maybe they had finally been able to understand what they were feeling for each other. Even if what he was feeling for Belle was more than just a friendship, Billy was aware that Belle would never be his woman, that she would never feel for him the love she was feeling for Shawn. Yes, his cousin was treating her badly, most of the times he was patronizing her, and sometimes, he was particularly aggressive with her, but Billy knew Shawn was doing it in order to realize if he was falling in love with a new Jennifer or if Belle was truly the perfect woman made for him. Billy walked around the house and decided to go to the kitchen to hear from Rosa where his cousin and Belle were. But there was no one in the kitchen, not even the

“You did what?” Billy asked in a perplexed voice."Exactly what you heard. Then I called at the ranch and I spoke to her ‘dear daddy’ to whom I’ve explained that I know all about his plans." Shawn stared at Billy prudently. “Billy, Andrew Baldwin is broke, penniless… he did some bad business and lost all his money years ago. That's why he's pushing his daughter into your arms. But I put an end to it, don't worry. The phone call I made to him this afternoon solved this problem. From now on, he will stay away from this place and from all of us.” Billy could no longer control his anger and he exploded. Without warning, he hit Shawn in the face and threw him on the ground. Perplexed, Marie covered her mouth so as not to shout and Chris looked at them totally upset. He had neve

Shawn heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Billy enter the room followed by James and an old woman who was looking at them completely stunned. It had to be the old housekeeper, the one who usually took care of the house and of the Baldwins. She went over to Isabelle and took her hand in hers.“I just called 9-1-1. They'll be here any minute now,” Billy said to him and he also came near Shawn. “I also called dad, to get him to contact the sheriff. Better to have him here too.” None of them was paying attention to Andrew; they didn't notice that he wasn’t moving or saying anything."Before fainting, Isabelle told me she doesn't want to go to the hospital... She said something about a doctor called... Jones?!” Shawn sai

Dr. Jones exchanged a couple of words with the paramedics and then his gaze moved to the chair where Andrew's lifeless body was still staying. He felt someone touching his shoulder. It was a man he hadn’t seen before; he was very young and particularly worried about what was happening. His hands were covered in blood.“Are you Dr. Jones?”“Yes, I am...”"Isabelle asked about you, probably because... she was much more worried about that killer than she was about herself," the man added, looking with hatred towards Andrew. “Doctor, help Isabelle, please!”“I’ll do what I can but… who are you?”"I am Shawn Grayson, and I think I'm guilty of everything that happened to Belle,
