Declan's POV.I received a message from my grandmother. She was arranging a family gathering and she wanted me to be around but when I told Sabrina about it, she was persistent on joining me and I also didn't want to argue with her so I just let her do whatever pleases her.Family gatherings in Eleanor Westwood mansion used to feel warm in different ways. But now Sabrina was all a part of it and she made it impossible for me to breathe properly.She had completely left no stone unturned to make herself not look or feel ignored. She was always smiling too brightly, always talking too loudly. And acting as though she had the right to be here in this family gathering. I watched her laugh at jokes that weren't funny and I felt myself getting angrier but it was of no use if I tried to show it because it would still land in a fight between us.My grandmother sat across the table. Her eyes were fixated on us but she didn't speak. She just watched Sabrina quietly and I noticed the way Sabrin

Declan's POV.It was in moments like this that I missed Isabella so much. The way she used to lighten up my day without even trying so hard and the sound of her humming to her favorite music in her head thinking that no one is listening to her.Even her stubborn silences spoke louder than Sabrina's endless talks that never made sense to me. I just feel like you're looking for every opportunity to spend time with me in which I didn't want it to be that way but there was nothing l could do about it.And that was how it happened yesterday after we came back from my grandmother's mansion. Sabrina spoke about our marriage with each other and I told her that it was never going to happen and as if that was not enough she insisted that Ethan wanted to spend time with me.I had no other option than to let them spend the night in my house. Ethan was my son after all so I couldn't deprive him of some things just because I was not on good terms with his mother. I leaned back in the chair. I was

Declan's POV.Power didn't feel the way I thought it would and it wasn't because of anything but because I was having so much power and yet I still didn’t feel anything.I had it all now. Everything I had ever worked and dreamed for were all mine. I had all my businesses which spread across continents.My face was on magazine covers and everyone called me the man of the century. I had a bank account that made me untouchable and women lined up in designer dresses, flashing me smiles that promised me anything I wanted.But every night, when the world went quiet. All of it dissolved into nothing. Because no matter how much I've gone far in life and no matter how much I have built. Isabella was still gone from my life.It has been four years now but there was no day that passed without me thinking about her and wishing for her to come back to me.She was the only woman I had ever loved. She was the only one that I hated and craved in the same breath. The one who had vanished, leaving my h

Declan's POV.Isabella decided to take me into a hotel room so that we would not create a scene in front of other people to watch.The kids were playing in the garden with Marcus. Since we got into the room Isabella wouldn't look at me. But also her silence didn't hide the storm in her eyes.Being this close to her after so long made my chest ache again. The years that we were apart from each other changed something inside of me and being with her right now made me have different feelings in ways that I thought were impossible.But still the anger in her eyes reminded me of what I had lost and how much work it would take to mend it.“Don't look at me like that.” she said suddenly, breaking the silence and I raised my eyebrows at her.“How am I looking at you?” I questioned and she rolled her eyes in exhaustion at me.“You are looking at me like you have the right to look at me.” she said and I stepped closer to her, ignoring the hurtful feeling of her words.“I just want you to know t

Isabella's POV.I never thought I would find myself bonding with Declan again. Not to even think about walking into a hospital with him beside me.The hospital smelled like antiseptic, obviously it would because it was a hospital so I had no complaints about it. I could see the tension in Declan's face and the way he kept on breaking his knuckles because we were about to uncover the truth.The truth he had silently feared for and the truth I had ignored for years.“Are you sure that you want to do this? I want to know if you are mentally ready for this?” I asked softly as we stood outside the doctor's office.Decline turned to look at me and I could see tiredness in his eyes.“I have to do this because I want to know the truth. I want to know if I'm living in the truth or if I'm living in lies.” he said and my heart twisted at his words. The only thing Sabrina had ever been able to do was tell lies. I fully believed that Ethan did not biologically belong to Declan and I wasn't saying
