POV: IsabellaThe apartment felt really heavy like it was crushing me. I sat on the edge of the sofa my hands shaking as I rubbed my stomach. I started feeling sick again. The feeling made me cry.The two men in my life Adrian and Victor were on my mind. I was worried about who might be the father of this baby. The thought of it caused pain to me. Adrian, my husband, who was always distant and cold; Victor, who made me feel both safe and scared at the time. It all started with one mistake. Now everything has become complicated.I sat on the floor with my arms around my knees rocking back and forth. The guilt weighed heavy upon me. I thought about Victor and all the moments we shared. I regretted everything.Should I tell Victor? My mind was arguing with itself. He deserved to know. Another part of me thought it wasn't my secret to share yet. I needed to figure some things outI wiped away my tears with shaking hands. I was exhausted. My body ached all over. I remained silent because I wan

Eleanor's Pov The moment I walked into Victors apartment I could feel the tension in the air. Isabella was sitting on the couch her hands moving nervously in her lap eyes looking anxiously toward the window. Victor stood nearby leaning against the kitchen counter arms crossed tightly jaw clenched, his eyes never leaving Isabella. Something between them had definitely changed over the few days. A silent weight that made the room feel like it was about to explode."Isabella " I said firmly trying to keep my tone steady "you've been pulling away from me lately. I need to know what is going on with you, Isabella."She flinched at my words her fingers tightening their grip on the cushion beside her. "I'm fine Mom " she whispered, her voice too quiet to hear. I knew her enough by now to see the truth behind those words Isabellas words.I moved closer to Isabella. Lowered myself to meet her eyes. "Don't say you're fine Isabella. I can see it Isabella. You're scared stressed. You're hiding some

POV: IsabellaThe envelopes were sitting on the counter. They were glossy. Nobody had touched them. Each one made me feel nervous. Eleanor had sent them out herself. She was getting ready for the gender reveal party.. I did not feel excited. I felt worried. Margaret was always trying to cause trouble.. With each invitation I felt my anxiety grow.I picked up one of the envelopes. My fingers were shaking a little. The thought of facing everyone. My friends, my family and especially Margaret. It made my stomach feel sick. Could I really go to the party? Could I sit there? Celebrate when Margaret could reveal my secret at any moment?Then I heard Victor's voice. He was standing in the doorway. "Isabella, you cannot keep hiding from this, " he said. "You have to be for your mothers sake."I turned to him. I was holding the envelope tightly. "Victor, you do not understand, " I said. "Margaret is going to cause a scene. She knows my secret. I can feel it. This party is not a party anymore."He

POV: VictorI got to Eleanor's place before I thought I would. I wanted to help get everything for the party. Isabella was already there. She seemed a bit stressed. I was trying to stay calm. She was putting up balloons and party decorations in colors. I could see that something was bothering her. Her hands were shaking a little. Her lips were pressed together tightly.“Almost done with the tables " she said quickly. She didn't look at me. She was adjusting a ribbon.I nodded. I kept looking around the room. Something didn't feel right. After dealing with situations for so long my instincts were on high alert.That's when I saw her – Margaret. She was standing by the patio. She was talking to a man I didn't know. He had a camera. He was taking pictures of Isabella quietly. My heart started beating. I felt like I had to act. I had to make Margaret leave.I walked closer to Isabella. I put my hand lightly on her shoulder. She jumped – not because of my touch. Because of how tense I was. She

Eleanor's Pov I am Eleanor. The room is full of people talking, glasses clinking and people laughing. I walk around and say hello to my friends and family. Try to smile.. I do not feel right. I have been feeling bad all day. Everything looks like the decorations, the flowers and the food on the tables. Tonight is supposed to be a night for Isabella and me.. I think something is wrong.I see Isabella near the food table. She is playing with the napkins. Moving a chair around. Her hands are shaking a little. She does not want to look at anyone. She seems scared. That makes me worried. I want to go to her and tell her everything is okay. I do not. I think she needs to be in control. I stay back.Victor is watching Isabella from away. He is looking at her all the time even when she bends down. He seems serious and that makes me feel strange. It is not exactly jealousy. It is something like that. There is a feeling between them that I do not understand. It makes the air feel thick and uncom
