The secret that changed us...

~Isabel~ "We will have to talk after my dad's funeral, Alister, to settle some things. Please take Chloe home," William said as Professor Alister came walking towards the car with Justin. He took my small bag from Chloe's hand and tossed it into the back. Through the glass, I watched Chloe wave a small, hesitant goodbye, her smile faded as William threw the car into drive and pulled out of the police lot. There was only silence between us…i kept my eyes fixed on the road wondering if he was taking me back to the yacht or the mansion. Every few seconds, my eyes shifted to his hands. His knuckles were tightly wrapped on the steering wheel... I know we have things to discuss, but the way his jaw remained locked tight, sent my anxious thoughts into a spiral. "I am sorry for everything making you come to the station…" I started unable to hold it in any more. "Are you serious right now? God! Isabel!" He cut me off. "The one thing I really don't get is why you hid this pregn

The Only Family Left...

~Isabel~ The crunch of gravel beneath our shoes was the only sound along the cemetery path as the funeral procession moved toward the plot. The sky was a pale cloudy grey matching the cold air that settled over the headstones. When we reached the open grave, two workers used ropes to lower Arthur Sterling’s coffin into the earth... the moment it dropped below ground level, my mother wailed. The sound echoed causing the officiating minister to pause a bit. Chloe wrapped an arm around my mother's shaking shoulders, rubbing her back to calm her. Beside me, William’s fingers tightened around mine... his grip was too tight, i was sure it would bruise by the time he let go...but i didn’t pull away. I could feel the pain holding him down. His jaw was locked... his thumb kept rubbing over my hand like he was trying to erase something... maybe that gnawing guilt over words left unsaid to his father. I knew that with enough time, the wound might heal. Maybe. Even if th

The hearing ( Her Sentence)

~Isabel~ Cold sweat broke out along my arms as I stared at William’s quiet side profile. If I hadn't pushed, if I hadn't fought back against every threat and exposed the fake ultrasound, William would have ended up married to a murderer. He would have shared a bed and a home with a woman who eliminated people the moment they became inconvenient. Juliana had started at the very top of high society, wealthy, untouchable, admired and her endless greed had buried her...the fallout hadn't just destroyed her; it had dragged down her father and laid waste to their family's prestigious law firm. The next morning, the courtroom was packed….Reporters pressed on the barricades outside, but inside was silent. William sat beside me in the front row, his shoulder pressed to mine as he held my hand in his lap, his grip tightened slightly as the door opened and two cops led Juliana Vane into the room… She looked stripped of her former glory. Her golden hair was pulled back into a dry,

~Five Years Later~ ~Isabel~ "Daddy! Daddy!! Mummy is back, yay!!!" Arden's voice rang over the mansion lawn as he played with his puppy. Lewis ran back into the mansion trotted after him with little barks. I smiled, pulling my Porsche into the garage. As I stepped out of the car carrying my bag and files from the office I had to work on, I reflected… I graduated law school last year with distinction, but I couldn't have done it without the love of my life, William….he was the biggest support and blessing life here in London has blessed me with. "Arden! Arden!! Careful!" I heard Mrs. Higgins' voice cautioning my little son as he kept running up the stairs with his little legs. "Welcome, Mrs. Sterling. How was your day today at the office?" she asked with a smile on her face. "Tough as always," I groaned out. "Thank you," I whispered as she took my bag and folder to my room. I made my way to the opposite room…Arden's room…to see what I was expecting… toys and his st
