Isabelle decided to take a walk on the lawn in front of the terrace. In her mind, she saw Frannie and Diana running around her, laughing happily. She loved those two girls and hoped to see them later that day. She approached the large tree that stood in front of her old room. Isabelle looked up and saw the little house in the tree she had asked to be built for the girls. She smiled happily, unaware that Shawn was a few inches away from her and that he was watching her carefully. He was leaning against the terrace door and was silently following her every move.          As she was returning to the terrace, Isabelle saw Rosa speak to Shawn. She spoke to him in Spanish and he answered her quickly and fluently in the same language. When she heard what he was saying to Rosa, Isabelle's heart almost stopped and she felt a cold shiver down her spine. Since she

       Realizing what he had done, Shawn was stunned. Needless to try to tell her that his intention hadn't been to take her virginity, but he knew she wouldn't believe him. All apologies and regrets won’t ever change what had happened. He had taken her most precious thing... And who knows, maybe she expected him to ask her now to marry him. Obviously, she’ll do it since, like an idiot, he didn’t use a condom, and that there was a risk that Isabelle could get pregnant. Once the dear daddy will find out everything, he will demand that he marry her. He just did something so stupid!          Without saying a word, he walked away from her and started dressing. With the hands still trembling, with her face wet with tears cried in silence and full of shame, Isabelle got out of bed. She faltered a little but managed to keep her balance. Isabel

“You did what?” Billy asked in a perplexed voice."Exactly what you heard. Then I called at the ranch and I spoke to her ‘dear daddy’ to whom I’ve explained that I know all about his plans." Shawn stared at Billy prudently. “Billy, Andrew Baldwin is broke, penniless… he did some bad business and lost all his money years ago. That's why he's pushing his daughter into your arms. But I put an end to it, don't worry. The phone call I made to him this afternoon solved this problem. From now on, he will stay away from this place and from all of us.”          Billy could no longer control his anger and he exploded. Without warning, he hit Shawn in the face and threw him on the ground. Perplexed, Marie covered her mouth so as not to shout and Chris looked at them totally upset. He had neve

           Dr. Jones exchanged a couple of words with the paramedics and then his gaze moved to the chair where Andrew's lifeless body was still staying. He felt someone touching his shoulder. It was a man he hadn’t seen before; he was very young and particularly worried about what was happening. His hands were covered in blood.“Are you Dr. Jones?”“Yes, I am...”"Isabelle asked about you, probably because... she was much more worried about that killer than she was about herself," the man added, looking with hatred towards Andrew. “Doctor, help Isabelle, please!”“I’ll do what I can but… who are you?”"I am Shawn Grayson, and I think I'm guilty of everything that happened to Belle,

          Billy said hello to his father as he joined Shawn outside."Belle is slowly regaining consciousness," he said."Is she talking?" Shawn asked, turning abruptly to his cousin.“No, the pain is making her whine. The wounds are very painful.”“Dr. Jones said he will be back in a few hours to check on her and to medicate her again. Maybe he'll give her some sedative to stop the pain.”          Billy nodded and leaned back against the entrance door. He raised his head and looked at the stars.“You know that everything that had happened will become everyone's favorite gossip in a few days. Mom told me that when Belle's mom died, the people
