CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

ADRIAN’S POV

Something shifted immediately I held my son in my arms. I had been thinking about what I was going to do if I met him but standing there I didn’t have a clue what to do.

He was scared of me. I could tell. “Hi, son.” I said and he immediately started crying. I didn’t know what to do.

I shook my head to get rid of my hallucinations and focus on giving my speech.After I got down from the stage I made my way back to my seat. I sat through the video presentation and the pianist’s presentation without thinking about Isabella again.The first part of dinner was served and I caught sight of someone leaving the hall. It looked like Isabella.“I’ll be back.” I said to Sebastian.“Where are you going?” He asked but I didn’t respond. I was already out of my seat and following behind the woman I thought was Isabella.She was getting close to the main doors.“Isabella.” I called out. She stopped in her tracks and turned around. “You’re really here. I thought I was dreaming or something. What are you doing here?”“I was invited.” She answered.“By who?” I asked.

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONEISABELLA’S POVI didn’t want to agree to attend the event with Julius as his plus one. Especially after he told me he missed our family and wanted us to get back together. I didn’t want to entertain that idea and make him think there was a chance of us getting back together. I found myself agreeing to go because of one person. Adrian. The only reason I agreed to be Julius’ plus one was because of Adrian. I convinced myself I was doing it to spite him but I knew I was doing it for another reason entirely.I dropped Theo off at Vivian’s place after picking him up from school and went back home to start getting ready for the event.

He texted me and said he had arrived at my building. I didn’t want him to waste his time coming up so I rushed d

    CHAPTER SIXTY-NINEISABELLA’S POVAfter almost three weeks of being in the hospital, I was finally cleared to go home. My mother and Jess who were supposed to leave weeks before had stayed until I was out of the hospital. They had to leave eventually. “Are you sure you don’t want to come with us?” My mother asked.“No. I’ve made that clear from the very first day you asked.” I answered in annoyance. She sighed. “You have to think reasonably. You’ve been kidnapped twice in your entire life and it’s all because of that man. I get he’s rich and he’s the father of your son but you don't have to be stuck with him. You can leave the child here and come back with us.”“I wasn’t kidnapped. I already told you that.

I know what actually happened.”“Just drop it, mum. I’m not coming back with you guys.”“This man obviously ca

I had a lot of things to say to him that night but I just couldn’t speak.My mother was asking me what happened every second of the day. I told her the version that Adrian told me but she still didn't believe me. She didn’t trust him. She asked me if he had threatened me. She wasn’t a big fan of him since she found out he was the reason I was kidnapped the first time. She had a hard time believing he didn’t have anything to do with it this time either.The only people who had come to see me were my mother, Jess, and Vivian. I hadn’t seen Theo yet and I didn't want to. I didn’t want him to see me looking like this. I hopped on a voice call with him once I could speak though.Jess was taking me on a walk in the garden.
