FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 42: WHO TO TRUST?
ISLA’S POVMy heart skipped a beat, and guilt filled every part of it as Dante looked down at the picture and then at me with empty eyes.Axel snatched the picture from Dante’s hands and took a closer look, making me feel more uncomfortable. What did he want to see aside from what was already there, a normal picture of me placing my hands across Dante’s neck while I posed with him, showcasing my engagement band?Instinctively, I placed a hand on my ring finger, and I saw Axel’s eyes catch my movement.Axel looked at me and frowned.“Why is there a picture of the two of you buried in the ashes, and how did you know about it?” he asked Dante, but he ignored him and then Axel started to strain his eyes and flipped the photo, and his demeanor changed immediately.“What is it?” I asked, my mind already weak with worry.“You have to see this,” he said, giving me the picture.I flipped it, and a gasp escaped my lips before Dante snatched the photo from my hand and started to read aloud.“You
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 43: EVIDENCE
ISLA’S POVMy body ached, and I was sore all over.I managed to lift Dante's hands off my core and sat up, my body craving some form of relief from last night's experience.I was plagued with memories of everything that had happened, from Axel's accusations to Dante's sex.It still wasn't making any sense. Despite Axel having his claw marks in Dante's name, it still didn't add up because Dante could never do anything that would harm me. After all, harming me would be harming himself.But if I didn't know the assailant, who did all of this? I wish there were a way for me to go back in time and make everything right.I looked over at Dante, his sleeping form very peaceful.Suddenly, it occurred to me.There was a solution, and it was sitting right outside of my door.I quickly got off the bed without waking Dante, my steps light, and movements swift.I nearly ran towards my goal, my legs increasing in pace.My hands touched the doorknob that led to my home office. It pained me that it t
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 44: HE IS THE ONE
ISLA'S POVMy world spun around and collapsed on my head as I raced back inside the house, desperate to understand what the hell had just happened.How did everything fall?I grabbed my phone, looking for someone to call, for anybody to listen to me as my mind played the voice of Dante screaming over and over again how this was my fault and how my mind betrayed me in believing it."Hello?" I said, my voice breaking as more tears streamed down my face."What happened?" Axel's voice came through from the speaker, and sobs raked my body."I'll be there," he said, my body already collapsing before he hung up.Almost simultaneously, my phone rang, and I hurriedly picked it up, my eyes catching a glimpse of the caller ID and seeing that it was unknown."Hello?" I asked, trying to mask the fact that I was crying before."Is this Ms. Isla?" A man's voice pushed through the speaker, and my body tensed."This is she," I replied, running at my eyes to still my tears."You have to come down to th
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 45: IT’S TIME
STEPHANIE’S POVI smiled against the door frame and watched the children sleep after letting them consume more than twenty potion-induced sandwiches.After ensuring they were genuinely asleep, I marched towards my own chambers, my steps carefully placed in front of the other.It was high time I checked in with my master.I carefully closed the door and locked it before standing in front of the mirror. Then, I began to wave my hands, and my voice changed.I started to recite some incantations, and my body began to deform. The once beautiful skin I was wearing seemed to melt away from my skin, the smoothness of it fading rapidly as pain shot through me.Grey hairs stood still as I continued the incantations.When I was done, I placed a now shriveled hand on the table, and my reflection showed my true nature, and a wicked smile crossed my face.I stood back, this time taking a knife and slicing the inner part of my palms and allowing blood to coat my fingertips. Then I went back to the m
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 46: THE BRUTAL TRUTH
ISLA'S POV"But it couldn't be him. I mean, it could be him, but it couldn't be him," I said, trying not to sound hysterical.Axel raised an eyebrow, and I felt his question shake my core."Maybe if you had cameras?" He asked."It was wiped clean here," I said, shaking my head."And the cameras here? " Axel asked, and I gasped.That's right!I had cameras around my house and in my office. It was supposed to be for fun and formalities, but it was there.I rushed to the computer and started to type and click."What's going on?" Axel followed me."I don't keep the records in this computer. All the feeds go to the main office," I replied, and I could feel Axel's harsh look."That's not very bright. Videos of your house get sent to the office?" He raised a brow."Only videos of intrusion. The cameras are designed to be able to detect forceful activity and alert the police immediately, but regular day-to-day activities don't trigger the camera, and the files are kept in their mainframe that
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 47: HEAVEN
ISLA’S POVWas he serious?Who knew that the man I loved was this insensitive?My body went rigid with anger.“Because Axel fell sick, and we couldn’t perform the operation, and the kids were kidnapped when the operation was finally done!” I shouted, and Dante gasped in shock.“The world doesn’t revolve around you,” I added, wiping tears from my eyes.“I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I’m sorry for what I did -” Dante started to say, but I raised a hand to his face.“Enough,” I said, wiping the last tear from my eyes.I would not shed another tear for a man who wasn’t worth it.I started to remove the ring from my finger.“No, Isla,” he said, but I didn’t answer him.I took the ring off my finger, my bondage broken as I freed myself from whatever obligations he held close to his heart.“I’m done with this. We’re over,” I declared, and before Dante could think of the next lie to say, I threw the ring at him, hitting him square on the head, and I walked out without turning back.Axel was alrea
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 48: SOMETHING IS WRONG
ISLA’S POVThe following day was a bit of a twist, considering what happened last night.Axel was gone before I woke up, making me question several things. While the idea that Axel was on to something flicked through my mind, I knew my time here was over, so I dressed and drove to work.I didn’t bother to call Axel as I felt he had shown me his work here was done, and I knew my way back, so it was nothing to be sad about.I arrived at work, and I saw that the parts that were burned down at the office were already going into reconstruction. The insurance company had called me earlier to let me know that all damages fees had been paid and work would resume anytime, and I guess they weren’t far from the truth.“Ma’am!” I heard a familiar voice call out, and I tore my eyes away from the building undergoing work to look at who had called me.A smile crossed my lips as my faithful manager ran towards me at the entrance. He was so fond of doing things like that, and it almost reminded me of
FATED, REJECTED AND THE BABY IN BETWEEN CHAPTER 49: THE MYSTERY OF STEPHANIE
AXEL’S POVI walked away from the kids and Isla and followed Ray towards my secret study, and it was only when the door was firmly shut that I realized Ray hadn’t come empty-handed.I didn’t need anybody to tell me that Ray had done some work. After he had used those specific words in front of my family, I knew it had to be something serious or even worse.“What is it?” I asked, settling into the armchair.Ray had a sinister look on his face, and I was tempted to ask him if he was ok, but I knew Ray intricately, and I knew that his words were his own.“Sire, do you recall having me look into Stephanie because you didn’t trust her?” he asked, and the frown that had been sitting on my lips evaporated.“Yes, I do, but Isla trusts her, and I think I can, too,” I replied without much thought.“Sire,” he said slowly, and I looked at him quizzically.“Is there a problem? What did you find?” I asked him again.Ray took a chair and sat opposite me, his hands pulling the paper he had been conce
