Isabella's POV.

I lost every bit of patience I had left inside of me. I organized for Cario and I to meet so she could hand over the evidence that could clear my name but she was nowhere to be found. I kept on refreshing my phone as I hoped that I would see a text message or a missed call from Cario, but nothing of that sort happened.

If Cario doesn't understand what it means to have courtesy demands then I wasn't going to be like her. I scrolled through my phone and I dialed her number but the phone rang countlessly without her picking it up, then the call was hung up.

“Where the hell is that excuse of a girl? she invited me out but I'm here before her, isn't it so funny?” I muttered to myself as I sighed out loudly.

Anger and frustration resonated inside of me and I halted up abruptly to my feet as I grabbed my bag. I was about to leave when a second thought crossed through my head. I needed to exercise patience because the proof of evidence was needed to prove my innocence to Ryan a

  • THE CEO'S HIDDEN VOWS   chapter 136

    Declan's POV.Power didn't feel the way I thought it would and it wasn't because of anything but because I was having so much power and yet I still didn’t feel anything.I had it all now. Everything I had ever worked and dreamed for were all mine. I had all my businesses which spread across continents.My face was on magazine covers and everyone called me the man of the century. I had a bank account that made me untouchable and women lined up in designer dresses, flashing me smiles that promised me anything I wanted.But every night, when the world went quiet. All of it dissolved into nothing. Because no matter how much I've gone far in life and no matter how much I have built. Isabella was still gone from my life.It has been four years now but there was no day that passed without me thinking about her and wishing for her to come back to me.She was the only woman I had ever loved. She was the only one that I hated and craved in the same breath. The one who had vanished, leaving my h

  • THE CEO'S HIDDEN VOWS   chapter 135

    Isabella's POV.The bright lights almost blinded me but I didn't flinch. I heard the low murmur of stylists, the smell of hairspray. It all faded when I stepped onto the runway.My heels hit the stage like they belonged there and my hips swayed with every step I took as I let my gown trail behind me just to make me feel like the star of the season and I felt exactly that way.“That is perfect, Isabella! Hold that pose.” the photographer shouted and I tilted my chin.I let my lips just part open slightly and I exhaled slowly. For those few moments, I wasn't the girl who had cried herself to sleep four years ago. I wasn't the woman who had whispered to two unborn babies in the dark. But instead, I was a star. I was a muse.When the shoot ended. I could hear people clapping for me as my director also clapped his hands.“Bravo Isabella. You outdid yourself again and that is why you are our diamond.” he said.“Thank you so much for your words of compliments.” I said as I bowed my head with

  • THE CEO'S HIDDEN VOWS   chapter 134

    Declan's POV.It was in moments like this that I missed Isabella so much. The way she used to lighten up my day without even trying so hard and the sound of her humming to her favorite music in her head thinking that no one is listening to her.Even her stubborn silences spoke louder than Sabrina's endless talks that never made sense to me. I just feel like you're looking for every opportunity to spend time with me in which I didn't want it to be that way but there was nothing l could do about it.And that was how it happened yesterday after we came back from my grandmother's mansion. Sabrina spoke about our marriage with each other and I told her that it was never going to happen and as if that was not enough she insisted that Ethan wanted to spend time with me.I had no other option than to let them spend the night in my house. Ethan was my son after all so I couldn't deprive him of some things just because I was not on good terms with his mother. I leaned back in the chair. I was

  • THE CEO'S HIDDEN VOWS   chapter 133

    Isabella's POV.FOUR YEARS LATER.Whenever I counted the time. Everything still felt extremely strange to me. It has been four good years since I walked away from the love of my life, Declan. When I walked away from him I was carrying nothing but a broken heart and a secret growing inside of my womb. And also a stubborn determination to survive through my obstacles in life. Atlanta had become my home now but it wasn't where I had planned to be in life. But I had to survive through it all and Atlanta became a place where everything changed for me.When I screamed loudly through pregnancy contractions with no one by my side, except for a nurse who held my hand tightly. Atlanta was the place I whispered two names in the hospital room as I promised them the entire world. Adrian and Aria.My son and my daughter, my twin miracles. They were four years old now and they were loud and messy. They were extremely full of life and Adrian with his endless curiosity always asked me questions abo

  • THE CEO'S HIDDEN VOWS   chapter 132

    Declan's POV.I received a message from my grandmother. She was arranging a family gathering and she wanted me to be around but when I told Sabrina about it, she was persistent on joining me and I also didn't want to argue with her so I just let her do whatever pleases her.Family gatherings in Eleanor Westwood mansion used to feel warm in different ways. But now Sabrina was all a part of it and she made it impossible for me to breathe properly.She had completely left no stone unturned to make herself not look or feel ignored. She was always smiling too brightly, always talking too loudly. And acting as though she had the right to be here in this family gathering. I watched her laugh at jokes that weren't funny and I felt myself getting angrier but it was of no use if I tried to show it because it would still land in a fight between us.My grandmother sat across the table. Her eyes were fixated on us but she didn't speak. She just watched Sabrina quietly and I noticed the way Sabrin

  • THE CEO'S HIDDEN VOWS   chapter 131

    Isabella's POV.The hotel room was too quiet. It was the kind of silence that pressed against my ears until I could hear my own heartbeat pounding so hard in my chest, it was uneven and very heavy. I sat on the edge of the bed as I held the thin blanket in my hands, staring at the wall like it could answer the questions I had in my head.Was I selfish for living? Or was it selfish to stay knowing fully well I was silently breaking apart inside of me? Nothing about the hotel felt like home to me but that was the point? Wasn't it?. I didn't want comfort. I wanted distance. I wanted to disappear. I pressed a hand against my stomach which was still flat. There was still no visible sign of the secret I carried, but I knew about the secrets and that knowledge burned me from inside out.Declan would never know.I raised my knees up to my chest as I rocked my body slightly so that I could try to cheer up my mood but the more I tried. The more the tears flowed down my cheeks in streams that
