Isabella's POV "Izzy, I've turned on the heater already!" I heard Christian say and I shouted back an "okay" from the bathroom and was about to take off my bathrobe but the challenge I made on that day came to my mind and I smirked at myself, hoping my evil plan would work. I opened the door and peeked my head out. "Christian." "Hmm?" he hummed, glancing at me through the mirror while he was brushing his hair. "The water is still cold." I told and he turned around with creased forehead. "But the heater is working well." "Then come and see for yourself." I muttered and his lips twisted into a playful smirk. "If you want me to join with you, all you have to do is, ask." he said in amused tone and I rolled my eyes and didn't reply anything when I noticed him placing the hairbrush and walking towards the bathroom. He entered in and glanced at me before walking into the shower room and I stifled my laughter, moving closer to him and noticed that he was adjusting the heater that was

Isabella's POV It was almost two in the morning as I rest my elbows on the bathroom counter, staring at my reflection through the mirror and I could see I was sweating as hell while I was waiting for the result to be shown on that stick that was lying on the counter between my hands. I was just taking a pregnancy test again because I still hadn't gotten my period yet and perhaps it could be delayed as I was taking birth control pills quite regularly but what made me worry the most was, the nonstop nauseous and dizziness. I bit my lip, praying God mentally to make it negative as I didn't know how Christian would react if I were pregnant with his child. If truth be told, I'd always have the longing wish to have a kid on my own; and I'd be on cloud nine if I was carrying Christian's kid, but now was not the right time. We still needed to sort many things out and if I got pregnant, then Christian would need to deal with one more thing while he already has a lot on his plate. These da

Isabella's POV I could see Trevor clenching his jaw and before he could say anything back, Rosie appeared to our view, looking at us in surprise. I noticed her baby bump has gotten so big as she might be in her third and final trimester. "Hey Bell-" "Does your mom know about your condition?" Trevor questioned at me, cutting Rosie off and I scowled. "That's none of your concern." "Oh, so she doesn't know about it." Trevor chuckled humorlessly, glancing at Rosie. "Look what she has done." he stated, gesturing to my belly and Rosie's eyes widened in shock as if she now only acknowledged my baby bump. "Oh My God! Bella.. how could you be so naive?" she asked in her fake sugary voice and I narrowed my eyes as I didn't understand who gave them the right to judge me. "Hold on, if my memory serves me correctly, you're naive too to lose your virginity to your boss who already had a girlfriend at that time, aren't you?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest and Rosie shot me a glare, be

Isabella's POV When we were walking away from the place I once called home, everything my mom said flooded back to my mind. That you're adopted! You're not my biological child. We adopted you from an orphanage. I felt Christian whispering something to me but I couldn't hear anything as my mind was repeating the same phrases my mom uttered over and over again. Am I an orphan then? And I didn't know it for the past 28 years? "BELLA! Bella!" I heard a familiar voice call out and we all turned around and noticed Emma scurrying towards our way and stood infront of me, panting heavily. I stared at her blankly until she began to speak. "Err.. Aunt wants me to go with you.." When I stared at her with the same flat look, she added. "..As you're pregnant." I frowned but somehow nodded my head and she gave me a quick smile and was about to go back inside but stopped in her tracks when Christian called her out. "Where are you going now?" he asked and she cleared her throat. "Uh.. to pa

Isabella's POV "Izzy!" I startled when I heard Christian calling my name out loudly as he entered into my room. "What's the matter?" I asked in panic but sooner my face turned into a puzzle look when I saw his twinkling eyes. "You know what?" "What?" "My family is coming here day after tomorrow!" "Day after tomorrow?" I exclaimed as I wasn't prepared to meet them, I mean not yet. "Yeah." he nodded, smiling down at me. "My sister told me she can't wait to meet you." "No. She did not tell that." "She did." Christian stressed, sitting on the bed across me. "Well.. and they do not know about my pregnancy right?" I asked warily and he sighed softly before shrugging his shoulders. "Well, yeah. But when they got to know it, I'm sure they would be feeling nothing but very happy for me; For us." I highly doubt that. But I resisted the urge of saying it out loud as I forced out a smile and he leaned closer, pecking my lips. The door suddenly opened widely, revealing Emma and when s
