YSABELLEDriving back home, my head was occupied by what I discovered earlier at the police station. I immediately told the officers that I thought I was right. Their investigation takes a turn as soon as they get a new clue. But I think it will only be difficult to find Candice's accomplice in that way.What made me even more confused was Ronan is working with the authorities on my case. “Why didn't you tell me that you were there?” I asked with an irritating tone.Through my peripheral vision, Ronan's face turned sour beside me in the back seat while Ashton was sleeping on his lap. “What for? You're busy hugging and thanking the wrong person.”Hugging and thanking the wrong person? Is he talking about Connor? Did he see us?I let out a deep sigh as my hand curled into fists while Ashley leaned on me.He should have shown up in the scene to avoid the misunderstanding and make me feel bette– Why would I even feel better seeing his presence?“You should have said it from the very beg
YSABELLEHis touch gave me the feeling of longing, and I relished every second he pushed his tongue and lips against mine. I lowered my hands and tried to pull up his shirt, but it got caught between my knees. I squirmed down till my feet touched the ground. Then I got a hold of his shirt and yanked it up. He broke apart long enough to pull it over his head and toss it aside. His hands slid around my head, pulling me back to his mouth as we were moving backward.I ran my hands down his abdomen. It was firm, with the perfect amounts of dips and ripples. Then my shirt ended up on the floor with his.Skin against skin. His hummed, brimming full of power. I ran my fingers down his chest to the button on his jeans. My back struck the couch as we went down, our hands and legs in a tangle, exploring each other.We moved in opposition to one another as our hips molded together. His hands slid between my legs as his arms encircled me tightly, pressing me up against his chest after I thought
YSABELLEI scowled when the sunlight abruptly burst through my heavy sleep and touched my face. I yawned and narrowed my eyes, searching for the person I had spent the night with, but Ronan was out of sight. Suddenly, the door opened, and two small people ran into my room, chasing each other. They looked so energetic first thing in the morning.I sat as I looked down on myself. Good thing I'm already wearing Ronan’s shirt.I couldn't help but smile after remembering the night we cherished. The effect he had on me last night was still lingering on me. His scent, his seductive moan, his warm touch… Everything about him seems difficult to forget.The twins suddenly pulled me out of my room. We went to the kitchen and found Ronan preparing something for our breakfast when we arrived. But I was dismayed because, in the bright light of day, he was just covering his lower body with a bath towel, leaving his sculpted bare chest displayed like a magnificent painting.“Can you at least put on
RONAN After dressing up in casual clothes, I glance at my luggage inside the closet of Belle. It feels like that luggage belongs here, especially the clothes inside.I decided to stay here in Ottawa to think of a way to convince Connor. I knew that George Cortez, Belle’s father, couldn't do anything to stop the wedding. He is a man who cannot take back his words. His pride was on the line.I understand him, so the only way to cut off this so-called wedding was to give Connor a tempting offer.Getting back with Belle was my ultimate goal from the very beginning. And now that I already have her heart, things will be easy for me. As I came out of the closet, I found Belle tidying up the bedsheets.She's so damn gorgeous with those messy hair. Especially last night. She's a goddess. I want her again and again until I get tired. But I guess, being with her, I become tireless.Her eyes met mine as her gorgeous frown showed up again. Kissing that frown was on my bucket list because she k
RONAN It was a bright and sunny morning. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky as we came out of my car. Our pair of sunglasses and hats were the highlight as soon as we walked in the busy street of the Clifton Hill Niagara Falls BIA.To ease the mind of Belle, being stressed out about our situation, I took her and the kids to the amusement park here in Niagara Falls.The kids were leaping excitedly as we headed inside the Odditorium at Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Niagara Falls has a quirky and interactive museum presenting crazy and mind-boggling artifacts from around the world displayed for the public.Ashley exclaimed in horror, seeing the shrunken heads, decorated skulls, and 2-headed animals. But I found Ashton seemed interested in everything he saw.We made our way to the moving theater as we viewed 4D films and, at the same time, rode along them. At Louis Tussaud’s waxworks, Belle excitedly took a picture with a wax figure of Marilyn Monroe, Scarlett Johansson as a black
YSABELLE I hastily walk back and forth at the doorway, waiting for my husband to come home. His phone was turned off and his secretary said that Ronan left the company before sunset. Worries delved into me that it was already midnight, but still, he hadn't returned home. The food is already cold and I'm starving but I don't have an appetite because my anxiety grew as time passed by. What if something bad happened to him? The ring on my finger suddenly fell on the floor. I immediately picked it up before it went too far. I let out a devastating sigh while I was removing the dirt from the ring. The ring might have come off easily because I lost too much weight. I heard a crash from a distance that distracted me. I ran towards the gate and saw Ronan’s car crashing at the steel gate. I hope he's alright! “A-Are you okay?” I worriedly asked as he got out of the car, staggering. The crash didn't cause much damage, though. He ignored my presence as he walked past me. Since he did
YSABELLE I am in the bathtub in my room, naked and feeling lost, to wash away the events that had saddened my soul. My heart and whole body were crushed by the numbness I experienced last night. I choked back my tears and ran my fingers, devastatingly, through my hair. Candice and the DNA test report. What could that mean? I didn't let my curiosity kill the cats. I only saw the upper part of the paper. I'm afraid to see whose DNA test results those papers belong to. But I should not overthink unless he will open up about it first. As I bit my lower lip and gazed at my frail figure, my heart ached. I stared at the gray bruises on my thigh, particularly on my wrists. He had just eaten me up last night. My entire body was covered in evidence. I never would have imagined letting him do this to me. I was consumed with my feelings and let him do whatever made him happy. Is love always like this? Is loving someone as painful as this? Unbidden tears welled up in my eyes. Why
YSABELLE‘WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DIE AND LEAVE ME ALONE?’Those words crushed my heart and soul. It was beyond painful. It was as if a big car passed over my whole body again and again due to the extreme pain I was feeling. But I didn't say anything and tried to smile.I forced myself to stand even though my whole body was going limp from his painful words.Was that what Ronan really wished for me? I don't know anymore. I wanted to think that he was just tired from work, and then I added to his headache.He only stared at me. Rage was evident through his eyes until he looked away himself.I immediately left the kitchen until I reached the gate, walking under the full moon alone but not knowing where I was really going.I wanted to cry from the pain inside, but no tears came out of my eyes. As if they are also scared to be noticed by anyone and think I'm too pitiful by crying alone while bracing for the pain.And this is the painful cry of all. I can not express the pain I'm feeling through
