All Chapters of My Secret Marriage : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Isabella sneered at him, "How dare I? Is that what you ask, Simon?""I'm your Father, Isabella. I raised you, and you can threaten me this way? Talk to me this way?"Isabella didn't say anything in response but simply looked at him. He heaved out a breath and turned to Eileen. She was so sweet and disciplined and didn't stress out his mind or heart. Not like Isabella. Where Eileen was a sweet child that made him feel like a proud father, Isabella wore him out and made him feel less than a man. She barely even regarded him as a father,She reminded him so much of her mother. She too had an uncanny way of making him feel useless."I really don't have to deal with all this." Isabella muttered shaking her head and then turning on her father again, "You want me so badly to treat you like my father. All you do is remind me that you're my father, then act like it. Stop trying to display just how much of a cheat you were and are. Be responsible for once. Do the right thing by me and my mother

"What are you talking about?" Eileen asked, holding tighter onto Isabella when Isabella reached to unclasp her hand from her wrist."my ancestors were soldiers. My grandfather would die before he knelt before any man. And here you are, kneeling before me pitifully. How could we be kin, with you acting this way? Grandfather would be ashamed. So please, for the sake of my grandfather, you can stop being such a doll face and stand up." Isabella said, the last line of her statement laced with sarcasm.She turned to Simon when she finished speaking and continued, "Although, what can one expect when she has a father such as the one she has? Not much of a soldier, not much of a fighter. Not even Ronan, and how I could ever want such people in my life is beyond me. Not sure how I couldn't see it all before." she said, self-deprecatingly.Ronan stared at her completely short of words.Drawing her eyes away from the both of them, her mood completely sour, she finally pushed Eileen away, and wip

Panic merged with anger as he looked at Isabella. The way she had been acting all day was already a cause for worry, now to top it all off, she was calling another man Baby.And Ronan was afraid.With all the years that had gone by, he had never envisioned the possibility of someone taking Isabella away from him, and now it was happening. And he didn't like it because obviously, whoever it was she had been talking to was someone she had a very good relationship with.A 'man' she had a very good relationship with. And it made him very Jealous.On the other hand, Isabella was shocked.Man? Lover? what Lover?Seconds rolled by before she finally understood what was going on. He had heard her conversation with John. And he thought John was her lover.She wanted to lash out at him but was suddenly too weak to do so. Noah was Ronan's son. The son he knew nothing about. And rather than being angry enough to call him out on his B.S., she felt suddenly sad, unusually weak.Seeing her expressio

After the meal they had shared, and a long afternoon of playing together, Isabella managed to coax Noah into a bath, and after reading him a story watched as he fell asleep. It had been a good day.A soft sigh escaped her lips as she watched a baby boy sleep. He really was her greatest Miracle.August sat quietly beside her and after some moments past turned to her as she watched her son and said,"Bella, about Noah, are you ever going to tell Ronan about him?" August watched as Isabella's expression grew a bit sad, and it tore at her heart. Sometimes her friend seemed like she had let go, but in the end, it was obvious that everything still managed to hurtIsabella watched him a bit longer, her gaze ever gentle before finally responding to August,"Noah is my child. My son, August, what in the world does that have to do with Ronan?" she asked, and it wasn't hard for August to spot the tone of resentment and anger.And she couldn't help but wonder how a man could mess things up so bad

"Miss Sullivan, I regret this entire situation, it's our fault. We changed the positions and didn't inform you of it, that was very wrong of us." It was the man in charge of the Kingdom's Company that spoke up, and he had Isabell raising her eyes to look up at him."I believe you've seen the trending headlines on the internet," she said coolly."rending headlines? What are you talking about?" she ignored him, clearly Edward had not informed him of their demise.She turned to August, "Have you seen them August?" August knew what she was aiming at and shook her head ruefully, "I'm afraid not. I waited and waited for people to say something about what they'd done, but nothing. Even with Mr. Edward talking unendingly about our approach about informing the media and getting a lawyer has been unnecessary." she finished with a shrug, and Isabella shrugged as well.Of course, they knew what was going on with the media. And of course, they were still punishing the company for what they'd done.
