And that's how Lucy found them. She came up to Isabelle’s room to bring her a tray with breakfast. The housekeeper looked alarmed at the disaster on the floor. Marie left the two of them talking and laughing about everything that had happened. She was happy that Isabelle was starting to remember even more, but she was also very worried about what will happen when she will find out that everything that happened with Andrew, including his death, was the result of Shawn's intrusion into their lives. She liked this fantastic fighter for her nephew. Isabelle was the type of woman she had always wanted for Shawn: beautiful, intelligent, honest, opinionated, courageous. She smiled with satisfaction and went to join her husband for breakfast.          Downstairs on the terrace, Shawn was having breakfast with Billy and Chris. He had just fin

            Shawn needed to get away from the villa for a few hours, to clear his mind and recover after the impact the new Isabelle had had on him. All of a sudden, after her ‘explosion’, he had the feeling of really seeing her for the first time. Isabelle, so temperamental and sarcastic was someone new to him; she was completely different from the submissive and fearful Isabelle. This side of her was very exciting but also quite confusing. He wanted to know more about Isabelle, he wanted to discover all her secrets, what were her fears and her desires... Shawn needed to find out everything about her before opening his heart to her.          He had to be honest with her and tell Isabelle everything, every little detail. It was necessary for him to empty his soul in front of her. And although her reaction to what he’l

        He knew that returning to this room would help him understand his Belle a little better. Everything he needed to know about her, her sufferings, her ups, and downs, was locked inside this room. Shawn pushed all other things away and randomly opened one of the two diaries. What he read made him smile sadly:          "A few days ago, I’ve read something that made me smile but also saddened me quite a bit. That’s what the phrase was saying: 'Who loves you, knows four things about you: the pain behind your smile, the love behind your anger, the reasons of your silence, and where to tickle you to make you laugh.' The phrase belongs to Charles M. Schulz, the author of the Peanuts. His words made me think a lot and I realized that, apart from Lucy, nobody knows these things about me. So, I’ll put these words out in the universe&hel

        When he got back to the villa, after the funeral, he thought 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

        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
