CHAPTER 65
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,

The old lady was still very worried about leaving Belle with that man, but she accepted Billy's offer. The doctor said to Shawn that he had to go back to the hospital to do a couple of very important post-surgery rounds, but he promised that he would return as soon as possible to visit Isabelle and see how she was. Downstairs, everything was fine now. James along with a couple of boys from the stables had taken away the carpet stained with Isabelle’s blood and had opened the window a little to allow the breeze to clear the room fromthe stench of death. Shawn took a chair and sat down at Isabelle’s bedside. The room was small, but now it was clean and well organized. One could see that it was her room... everything in

Billy said hello to his father as he joined Shawn outside."Belle is slowly regaining consciousness," he said."Is she talking?" Shawn asked, turning abruptly to his cousin.“No, the pain is making her whine. The wounds are very painful.”“Dr. Jones said he will be back in a few hours to check on her and to medicate her again. Maybe he'll give her some sedative to stop the pain.” Billy nodded and leaned back against the entrance door. He raised his head and looked at the stars.“You know that everything that had happened will become everyone's favorite gossip in a few days. Mom told me that when Belle's mom died, the people

Shawn wasn't sure he heard Isabelle's words well. He got even closer to her. He needed to look her in the eye.“Excuse me... What did you just ask me?” he said perfectly aware of the four pairs of eyes that were behind him and watching the scene carefully.“Hmm ... I asked you who you are," Isabelle replied still a little confused. She touched her head and a moan escaped her lips. "My head hurts so much and I still can't understand where I am and why everything hurts..." she added.“You mean you don't recognize me at all?” he insisted gazing at her totally perplexed. She looked straight at him, carefully watching anything about him. The man in front of her was absolutely gorgeous, handsome as a g

They went up the stairs together and the doctor started giving to Billy some details about the two forms of amnesia he had mentioned earlier. Together they entered Isabelle's room where he was expected by four very silent, resigned people and his patient. He kindly asked everyone to go out and leave him alone with his patient.“Hello, Isabelle! I'm Dr. Peter Jones. How are you feeling?”"I remember you, we met at the hospital for some reason that I... I don't remember," she answered smiling. “Well, let's say that altogether, I'm doing fine, even if my back hurts and I still feel a little dizzy..." She stopped and looked at him with a frown on her face. “I remember… my father...” she said softly when unclear and unpleasant memories began to invade her mind. “He was hitting me...” she added, starting to

After Peter closed the door to Isabelle's room, he turned and saw in front of him a small group of people staring at him quite anxious.“I have good news. Isabelle has partially regained her memory,” he started slowly. “But even so, she is still very weak. That's why I told her she doesn't have my permission to go to Andrew's funeral and I told her that you’ve decided to take her to your house. At first, she didn't agree, but the thought of having Lucy with her reassured her quite a bit. Leaving this place is a very important step, so she needs to have a familiar face near her.“Tomorrow I will bring the limousine to take her to the villa as comfortable as possible,” Billy said in a tone that wasn’t taking a ‘no’ for an answer. “Doctor, you said she partially regained her memory... What does she r
