While I Waited, He Built Another Family Chapter 9
I came back to my senses and reached for Victor's hand, ready to go inside.Just before I pushed open the gate, I stopped."It has nothing to do with anyone else. Adrian, I simply don't want you anymore."After we walked into the courtyard, Victor still looked unusually tense.I reached up and gently smoothed the crease between his brows."He's someone who no longer matters. Don't let him ruin your day."At my words, the tension in Victor's shoulders finally melted away.Without saying a word, he pulled me into a quiet embrace.For reasons I never learned, Adrian never appeared again before the day of my inauguration.The ceremony arrived as scheduled.Everything was exactly as Victor and I had planned.The venue was filled with elegant white flowers, every detail carefully arranged for the announcement of our partnership between the Moretti family and the DeLuca family.Surrounded by family members, allies, and business partners, I walked toward the stage beside my father.Today, I wo

Isabella's POVAdrian's appearance caught me off guard for a moment. His usually well-groomed hair was disheveled, falling across his forehead. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, and unshaven stubble covered his jaw. The confident man I once knew was nowhere to be seen.I said nothing and turned to walk back inside. Adrian grabbed my wrist."Please, Isabella, just talk to me."I stopped."Adrian, I have nothing left to say to you."The moment I spoke, hope immediately lit up his face."Then let me explain. I've already sent Vivian and Ethan away. I know I was wrong. It was all my fault. Please, just give me one more chance.""We can go back to how things used to be. I'm here to take you home."I took a step back and pulled my hand free."Take me home? Home to what? So I can keep watching you choose them over me?"Adrian stiffened. "No, Isabella. That's not what I meant. Please forgive me. I should never have left you there that day. I know that's something I can never take back. I'm sorry

She froze. Then she immediately tried to explain.I didn't give her the chance. I threw her onto the floor."Stop acting. I knew something was wrong that day. So I had people investigate. The peanut butter Ethan ate, you were the one who put it there.""Did you really think deleting your grocery order and throwing away the receipt would keep me from finding out?""Vivian, you really are that vicious, aren't you? You were willing to risk your own son's life just to force Isabella out."She knew I had evidence. There was no point denying it anymore. Tears streamed down her face."I didn't mean to hurt Ethan, Adrian. You know I'm a doctor. I never would have let anything happen to him. I only did it because I love you. I was afraid that once you married Miss Moretti, there wouldn't be any place left for me.""I never wanted things to end like this."I didn't want to hear another word. I kicked her hard."Enough. Did you want to become Mrs. Hayes that badly? Were you really that afraid she

Isabella's POVMeanwhile, I had already returned to the Moretti estate. The moment I saw my father, my nose stung, and I nearly broke down in tears.My father didn't ask too much about what had happened. He only told me that it was time for me to start learning how to take over the Moretti family's business.He also said he wanted me to meet Victor DeLuca, a potential partner who could help me with several upcoming projects.For the first time in a long while, I felt like I had something ahead of me besides the pain I had left behind.And there was one more reason I had to keep moving forward.There was a tiny life growing inside me now.No matter how badly my heart was hurting, I couldn't let my child see me fall apart.My father had already arranged for the family doctor to examine me.Fortunately, the baby was safe. But the doctor warned me to avoid emotional stress and physical strain for the rest of my first trimester.After talking with my father for a while, I went upstairs to m

Adrian's POVI had barely read Isabella's message when I immediately called her.The call wouldn't go through.I called again. And again. Still nothing.I frowned and tried one last time. Nothing.I stopped, staring at the disconnected call.The line had already gone dead. No matter how many times I called, the result was the same.I lowered my phone and immediately called my lieutenant."Go to the house right now. Isabella's upset. Knowing her, she's probably forgotten to eat. Bring her something to eat. I'll head back as soon as I'm done here."An hour later, Ethan had finished his examination and was receiving an IV in his hospital room.I kept calling Isabella. None of my calls went through. None of my messages got a reply.With every unanswered call, I grew more anxious.Just then, my lieutenant burst into the room."Boss! Miss Moretti is gone!"My eyes immediately fell on the takeout bag in his hand."Why didn't you give her the food? And what do you mean she's gone?"He lowered

Adrian visibly relaxed."I'll make dinner tonight. You should rest."Vivian immediately followed him toward the kitchen."I'll help. I know what Ethan likes."Ethan sat alone at the dining table.He looked up at me and pointed toward the counter."I want toast."I hesitated, then walked over to get it for him.Looking at his small face, I couldn't help wondering whether my own child would be this cute someday.But the moment I leaned closer, the innocence disappeared from Ethan's face.He glared at me."You're a bad woman.""You're trying to steal my daddy.""I hate you.""When you leave, Daddy and Mommy can be together forever."Before I could respond, he grabbed a piece of toast covered in peanut butter and took a bite.Seconds later, his expression changed.Before he could finish chewing, he suddenly looked like he couldn't breathe. His little face turned bright red. Clutching his throat, he fell heavily from the chair.The sudden scene stunned me. I hurried over to check on him.No
