Chapter Thirty One

CHAPTER THIRTY ONEISABELLA’S POVI spent the next two weeks after the kidnapping incident trying to recover. I was still shaken up from what happened but I tried my best to put a smile on my face.I got tickets for my mum and Jess to leave for Malta the day after Adrian and Sebastian left. I hadn’t heard from any of the men since then. I was a bit thankful for that though.Things were a bit rough. The fire service had finished its investigations. The place was still taped off though. The insurance company was yet to finish their evaluations so we could start on repairing the building.It was exhausting and suffocating being in the house all day. I took it upon myself to take Theo to school every day and get him back home. Julius also took on more work in the office.I had just dropped Theo off at school and I didn't want to go back home. Falling into this new routine wasn’t the best. I didn’t know how long it would take before the store was reopened, or even how much it would take.I

Chapter Thirty Two

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOADRIAN’S POVI was to fly to Manchester to spend time with Theo. Well, that was what Isabella thought was going to happen. I planned to fly him back to the States to spend time with me here and also introduce him to my mother.I realized that for the past few weeks, I was being too lenient and kind with the way I handled everything concerning Theo. It was going to change now.It had been about two weeks since I talked to her on the phone and threatened to take her to court if she didn’t let me see Theo willingly. Even though I wasn’t going to be too kind, I didn’t actually plan to take her to court. It was merely a bluff.I was going to make her hand Theo over to me by herself in the long run. We landed at Manchester airport and the car was a bit delayed. I had to wait in the lobby until the car was ready to get me.I got a newspaper from the stands to keep myself busy while I waited.“Mr Valentino?” I looked up from my newspaper. “I thought that was you.” The man l

Chapter Thirty Three

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREEISABELLA’S POVI was annoyed by the fact that Adrian was trying to take Theo with him to the States. We didn’t talk about Theo ever visiting him over there. I knew that once he brought it up, he would get what he wanted.I held Theo in my arms and walked into my apartment building. I was a bit thankful that he wasn’t following me into the building even though I expected him to.I got on the elevator and rode to my floor.“How was your day?” I asked Theo. “Did you have fun?”“Yes.” He nodded excitedly. “We went to a park and we went to get ice cream. I had lots of fun at the park.”He kept on rambling until we got inside the house. I took him to the room and prepared a bath for him. After I finished bathing him, we went to the living room together. I turned on the TV for him and then went to the kitchen to get started on dinner. Julius still had work so he wasn’t home yet. In the middle of cooking, I got a call. It was from Adrian. I sighed. I didn’t want to speak

Chapter Thirty Four

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURADRIAN’S POVI intentionally arrived 5 minutes late because I wanted her to wait for me. I was naturally an early person but I didn’t want to arrive first. I had a feeling she would arrive earlier than me and I wanted her to wait for a while.To my greatest surprise, she wasn’t there when I arrived. I didn’t want to call her. I immediately assumed she was doing it on purpose. She wanted to stall and then bail on me so I could give up on trying to take Theo to the States.I decided I was going to wait for her, even if it took an hour or more. I found a seat and ordered a cup of coffee. I brought out my tab which I conveniently carried with me. It was distracting trying to work so I decided to play a game instead.I checked my watch and 30 minutes had already passed. I still hadn’t heard anything from Isabella. I sighed and went back to my game. I heard the bell from the door ring, signalling that someone had walked in. I could smell her before she got to me. I hear

Chapter Thirty Five

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVEISABELLA’S POVI was having a hard time bringing up the topic of my going with Adrian to Julius. I knew he wouldn’t like the idea. I was right.“That's insane. You can’t go with him. You can’t let Theo even go with him.” He almost yelled.“Bring your voice down.” I shushed him. “Think about it. At the end of the day, he’s Theo’s father. It was bound to happen. You know I can't stop him from taking him.”“Fine.” He ran his hands through his hair. “Let’s say Theo goes with him. You? You’re going to go with a man you barely even know?”“It’s better for me to go with them than allow Theo to go alone. I barely know him and so does Theo.”“Is this about the money?” He asked. “Are you doing this because he offered to pay for the repairs?”“No.” I said. “It’s not about the money. I can’t keep him away from his father any longer. He won’t let that happen.”“So I'm supposed to wait here alone for two weeks while my girlfriend and her son spend time with her son's father? You

Chapter Forty

CHAPTER FORTYISABELLA’S POVTheo had the most fun on our flight. He had never been on a plane before let alone a private jet. He couldn’t sit still after we took off. Adrian entertained him too by moving around with him. I expected him to be scared on his first flight but he showed no signs of fear.I didn’t want to fall asleep because I wanted to keep an eye on Theo but sleep got the best of me. I woke up when it was about 10 minutes to landing. I slept for a really long time. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and then I returned to my seat.We finally landed and exited the jet. It was like I didn’t exist because Theo was glued to Adrian. While walking to the car, I texted Julius telling him we had landed. The previous text I sent him before we took off still hadn’t been answered.We got into the back seat of the car and drove off. I was in as much awe as Theo. I’d never been to the US before. It was very foreign to me. We drove for a while until we finally reached Adrian’s hou

Chapter Thirty Seven

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENADRIAN’S POVTheo and I had walked around the compound a total of two times. I’d learnt quite a lot about him on the walk. His favourite superhero was Batman and he loved to play with cars and LEGO. I promised to show him my Lego collection. His best friend was Samuel and he had a crush on a girl named Lily. He made me promise not to tell his mum about his crush.We decided to go back into the house so he could finally go to bed. On our way to the door, the security men informed me that Christine, one of my old girlfriends, was in the house.I quickly rushed inside the house. I was met with Christine standing at the foot of the stairs and Isabella standing in the hallway.“What are you doing here?” I asked angrily.“I came to see you. You haven’t been returning my calls. I can see why.” She glanced at Isabella.“Have you lost your mind? Who permitted you to come here without informing me first?” I let go of Theo’s little hand and walked up to her.“Wait, who is th

Chapter Thirty Eight

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHTISABELLA’S POVI woke up earlier than I usually would. The sun was up but back home I would have slept in a bit longer since I didn’t have that much to do.I opened my eyes and almost jumped at the sight. Adrian was still in bed with us. I thought he had left during the night. He and Theo were still fast asleep. Their breaths were steady and moved in the same rhythm. I hadn’t noticed it before but there were so many similarities between them. Their nose shape was the same and they had the same mole in the same spot.Unconsciously, my hand reached out to touch Adrian’s hair. It had the same feel and texture as Theo’s. I drew my hand back when Adrian opened his eyes. Had he been awake all along?“Uhm. Sorry. You had something in your hair.” I said quickly.He groaned and rolled out of bed. “Did I fall asleep here? What’s the time?” He looked at the clock on the wall. “Shit. I slept in.” He rushed out of the room without saying anything else.I got out of bed and we

Chapter Thirty Nine

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE ADRIAN’S POVI knew I had fucked up by letting Isabella see me in that state. She already had her doubts about me and I went and solidified that. It wasn’t my fault she had been where she wasn’t supposed to be. I should have told her from the start that that floor was off-limits to her.After much persuasion and convincing, she finally agreed to let me take Theo to my mum. I would have given up on convincing her but I already told my mum I would be coming with him.She was shocked when I told her I had a son. She thought I was lying. I had to explain to her and lie that I’d just been keeping him a secret from her all these years because I wanted him to grow up away from all these.She was excited to finally get a grandson. She wanted to meet his mother too but I told her she wasn’t ready yet.Isabella packed an overnight bag for Theo and we left the house after many warnings to me. On the drive there, I told Theo that we were going to meet his grandmother. He aske

Chapter Forty

CHAPTER FORTYISABELLA’S POVI woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. I almost wanted to check on Theo but I remembered he went with Adrian to his mum's house. I picked up my phone and texted Adrian unconsciously. I had a feeling Theo woke up and cried.“Is he asleep?” I asked. I half expected him to reply and he did.“No. He’s been crying for like the past hour.” He replied.All sleep vanished from my eyes as I called him. “What do you mean he’s been crying for an hour?”“My mum and I tried to calm him down but he keeps crying for you.” I could hear Theo’s sobs in the background.“You didn't think to call me?”“I didn’t want to wake you up in the dead of the night because he was crying. I thought I could handle it.” “Can you hand the phone over to him?” There was shuffling and I could hear Adrian whispering to Theo and then his little voice came on the phone.“Mummy?” He cried.“Yes, baby. Why are you crying?”“I want to stay with you.” “You can’t right now, baby
