CHAPTER 86
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

“You did well… and I finally saw who you are... my brave little Belle,” Shawn replied softly, caressing her tired and pale face with his piercing eyes. “You know, I have the feeling that you have to go back to bed right now. It’s enough for one day. Come on, I'll escort you upstairs.” He got up from the couch and reached out to help her get up. Everyone looked at him extremely surprised but chose to pretend and they continued chatting. Isabelle accepted his help and after saying goodnight to Marie, Chris and Billy, she leaned against Shawn to climb the stairs to the first floor. Once at the top of the stairs, Shawn smiled at her, wished her goodnight, and started going to his room.“Shawn...”&n

She finished reading the last pages of her diary and put it on the coffee table. She was completely astonished by what was written there. With each word, with each sentence, Isabelle was able to see the exact moment when she had written all that. She was sixteen, she was in the kitchen, together with Lucy... On that day, her mother was buried. Her father, who wasn’t fully recovered after the surgery, had locked himself up in his room. Isabelle knew that on that night, he would drink until he would pass out. Isabelle stayed in the kitchen with Lucy. They drink a cup of tea and Belle tried to calm down a little. She closed her eyes and was able to feel even now the pain of that day, but also something else... something she had forgotten in these past crazy years. At the funeral, she had met a boy who had come there with the Graysons. He was tall, with short, as

“What’s going on with you, Belle?” he asked looking at her out of the corner of his eye. “Why are you down here? Why are you still awake?” Isabelle didn't know whetherto be honestand risk being teased by him or just tell him a lie. She chose to tell him the truth."Earlier, after we said goodnight, I went to my room, but I couldn’t sleep..." She looked down. “So, I read one of the two diaries Lucy found in my room, at the ranch. While reading it, I remembered a lot of things about my family as it was before the accident, about the person I was before I turned into the shadow of myself, about my first love...” He stared at her cautiously, because he already knew what Belle was talki

A broad smile appeared on Shawn's lips and his eyes filled with joy. Those words struck him so unexpectedly and inside he felt an explosion that heated every corner of his body immune for so long to any sign of affection or word of love. He pulled her a little closer towards him and his fingers touched her hair.“I am a total idiot, Belle. I can spot a good deal from a mile away, but I can't give a name to the emotions present in my heart. But now I finally understand,” he said softly.“What are you talking about?” she asked taking another step towards him.“I understand now why I think about you every day and night, why I can't close my eyes without seeing your face...” His hand caressed Isabelle's face and smiled at her in a different, new way. “Tomorrow it scares me, it makes
