CHAPTER 82
Shawn stared at him for a few seconds and after he remained alone on the terrace, he smiled softly... Maybe Isabelle could be the right woman for him, but he had caused her too much pain and he knew that she would never forgive him. Shawn had never thought that behind her little, scared mouse image could be such a fiery woman... He saw that side of her on another occasion: when they had sex... She had changed from being shy to kissing him and responding to him like an expert in just one second. That’s why he thought that she was pretending, that being there, in his arms, was part of a trap. Peter Jones was right; she had given him herself because she loved him. Billy had told him at least a thousand times so far, that Isabelle was in love with him.
He heard the horn of a car that stopped in front of the villa. He recognized t

Shawn needed to get away from the villa for a few hours, to clear his mind and recover after the impact the new Isabelle had had on him. All of a sudden, after her ‘explosion’, he had the feeling of really seeing her for the first time. Isabelle, so temperamental and sarcastic was someone new to him; she was completely different from the submissive and fearful Isabelle. This side of her was very exciting but also quite confusing. He wanted to know more about Isabelle, he wanted to discover all her secrets, what were her fears and her desires... Shawn needed to find out everything about her before opening his heart to her. He had to be honest with her and tell Isabelle everything, every little detail. It was necessary for him to empty his soul in front of her. And although her reaction to what he’l

Shawn got off his horse in front of the stables and after saying hi to the guys who worked there, he went over to look for James, the ranch administrator. He was on the phone, but when he saw Shawn, he put it down almost immediately and greeted him. The last time they saw each other was the evening when Shawn had saved Isabelle.“James, thank you for receiving me so quickly!” Shawn said sitting on the chair in front of the desk. “I know you're quite busy these days...”“Shawn, I will always find time for you and your family. Please, tell me how Belle is doing? Everyone is asking me about her...” James asked with a worried look."She's doing fine... She's recovering very well..." Shawn replied. “Who's asking about her?”“Most o

He knew that returning to this room would help him understand his Belle a little better. Everything he needed to know about her, her sufferings, her ups, and downs, was locked inside this room. Shawn pushed all other things away and randomly opened one of the two diaries. What he read made him smile sadly: "A few days ago, I’ve read something that made me smile but also saddened me quite a bit. That’s what the phrase was saying: 'Who loves you, knows four things about you: the pain behind your smile, the love behind your anger, the reasons of your silence, and where to tickle you to make you laugh.' The phrase belongs to Charles M. Schulz, the author of the Peanuts. His words made me think a lot and I realized that, apart from Lucy, nobody knows these things about me. So, I’ll put these words out in the universe&hel

That last thought written by Isabelle hurt Shawn so much that this time he threw her diary against the wall. He could no longer lie to himself and to others... he wanted her in his life, starting that moment, he wanted to keep Belle safe for the rest of her life. He wanted Belle, pregnant or not because he couldn’t see his life without her. And if he wished to have a future with her, it was necessary to confess Belle all that had happened before that damn evening. There was the possibility of never being forgiven by her, that she could run away from him, that she’ll tell him she didn't want to have anything to do with him, but Shawn was determined to fight to conquer her. And there was one more thing to do: talk to Danielle and end their stupid relationship. As he was looking for the cell phone in his jeans pocket, he r

When he got back to the villa, after the funeral, hethought a while about the girl he saw there, but then all the mess with Jennifer happened, and the goodness from his heart and mind disappeared. Jennifer’s arrival in his life canceled the image of the girl with the most incredible blue eyes he had ever seen. Love took him in his arms, flew him to the moon, then broke his wings and made him fall into the deepest darkness. It was though, but he managed to get back. And who found in front of him, in a field full of flowers, in front of the ocean? The same gorgeous blue-eyed girl... Only now she had become a woman. That encounter brought her back to his life, but Shawn realized that her behavior, her way of acting were those of a submissive woman, without courage, without determination. She was the same as all the other women he had dated, whom he had known, who had allowed him to do anything he want

Isabelle was tired of lying in bed the whole day. She could no longer stand looking at the walls and feeling weak and helpless. Her frequent headaches were no longer so severe, although the nausea was still very present. Maybe later she'll call Peter to see if it was the case to go to the hospital for a checkup, to be sure that everything was going well with her. In a few days, there would also be the reading of her father's will. Chris had called the lawyer who had dealt with everything and asked him to come to the villa to prevent Isabelle from going into town and getting too tired. However, for the moment, the important thing was that she was feeling better and that, with or without Peter and Marie's permission, she would go downstairs to have dinner with them as a normal person. She had lunch with Lucy here in her room, because she wanted to talk to her about t

Belle was putting her dressing gown over her nightgown when she heard someone knocking on the door. Smiling as always, Marie came in, asking her what she was doing up.“Hi, Marie! I decided that I should leave this room, at least for a few hours, just to have dinner with you all downstairs... I’m through with seeing you and Lucy going back and forth tending on me like I was princess,” Isabelle told her.”“If that's what you want, it's fine by me. Peter told me that leaving the bed every now and then can only do you good,” she replied smiling."This way I'll see all the family members all in one room instead of one at a time." Isabelle paused for a moment, thinking carefully about what she was about to say. “I saw that your nephew is avoiding me... Don't tell me that now he's afra

Shawn was very attentive to the conversation. He hadn't said a word, he didn't want to stop Belle's confession, but he continued to look at her, angry at all the gods in the universe because they allowed her to suffer so much. He couldn't understand what she had done wrong in her life to face that ordeal all alone. He was proud of her because she had proven to be a strong and responsible woman. The more he looked at her, the more he felt being a perfect jerk for how he had treated her, for having judged her before he really knew her.“If you saw that he was violent, you had to try to protect yourself a little more… maybe listen to your sense of self-protection,” he said abruptly, without realizing that he had expressed his thoughts out loud. Isabelle turned to him, looking him
