ISABELLA I started calling Caroline I needed some advice from her."Hi Isa, you finally remember your best friend" she said as she answered cheerfully."Don't overreact, I wanted to talk to you about something but you can't tell Andrew or Mike and you have to promise.""Okay, I promise, what is it about that warrants so much discretion?" she asked with interest, as I had never asked her for anything like that, I had never cared if she told what we talked about to them."About Alexander" I sighed "a college roommate told me that he was dating her cousin."I was finally able to confess it to someone and although this didn't make me feel any better, saying it felt like it could help me and more so if she could help me make a good decision."What? Is he sure about that?" she asked in disbelief and before I could answer she spoke again "Isa that man worships you, that can't be true, I saw how he suffered for you when you were in a coma."I also saw how tormented he was by what happened, n
ALEXANDER I was very nervous about Isabella's response, I didn't want to lose her again because of my stupidities, I knew I should never have done that, but we were separated and I was just looking for a way to forget her or at least to be able to deal with the emptiness I felt. But it was no use and now she found out that I was hurting her and our relationship was in danger.I was too regretful and felt desperate at the thought of her walking away from me again, it wasn't something I wanted to live through again, I don't want to feel so empty and lifeless again, I don't want to have to live without her."I need to think this all through" I sigh "I feel so suffocated and sad, even though I know you didn't do anything wrong because we weren't together that doesn't stop me from feeling bad.""I'm really sorry Isa" I couldn't find what else to say to her, I felt terrible for making her feel bad again and the only thing I could come up with was to apologize."Give me a few days, I won't
ISABELLA I needed time to think about my relationship with Alexander and also with the free time I now had I was taking advantage of it to look for a place to live, I had not gathered enough money to rent a small apartment to buy things, plus the deposit, so I was looking for a room, I had already bothered Andrew and Maddie too much, I was seeing that their relationship was not going well so I needed to leave them alone so they could solve their problems.I had spent all afternoon today touring places, but they were either in very poor condition or way over my budget, I was overwhelmed.The Alexander thing plus this was making me feel overwhelmed, regarding him I didn't know what decision to make, I knew I loved him and he loved me, but I couldn't trust him completely and I would always have the doubt if he would hurt me again. And even though I couldn't wait to go find him and have him lock me in his arms making me feel that nothing else mattered at that moment but just us, my ratio
ALEXANDER Having to face my grandfather's death was too painful, even though I knew it was going to happen it didn't make it more bearable, seeing my mom devastated by his death and my other relatives wanting to destroy me for the inheritance was too exhausting and having Isabella so far away from me made it much worse, I couldn't take refuge in her.I didn't really know what would become of us, but I felt like I had already lost her and it was driving me crazy. Losing the person you love when you need her the most made it even more heartbreaking.Not being able to hug her and feel that peace that only she transmitted to me made it much more difficult or to see that beautiful smile that makes you feel that if you are with her you can endure anything but losing her, but maybe I wouldn't have her anymore and I would have to face everything that the death of my grandfather implies alone.The pain of losing him, how hard it was to see my mom so sad and my family that wants to go for ever
ISABELLA I felt very uncomfortable after hearing what Alexander's uncle had said, I didn't want to leave, but I did want to move to one of the seats in the back."I should change, let me go" I whispered to Alexander."Isa please stay by my side" he pleaded and he looked so sad my whole heart ached, I knew I could no longer move and leave him alone so I nodded giving his hand a little squeeze to let him know I would be here for him.Then the ceremony began and the father started to speak, the atmosphere was too sad, I could see Alexander without shedding a single tear, trying to be strong for his mother who was a sea of tears, but in his eyes you could see all the sadness that was there and the only thing I could do at this moment was to hold his hand.When it was all over, people were slowly leaving but I did not move from his side, his mom was still very distressed while he hugged her with his free arm."Mom do you want to go to my house or yours?" he asked her tenderly while he kep
ALEXANDER The death of my grandfather made me sick, but having Isabella with me at this moment soothed the pain in my heart, she gave me the peace I needed so much and I was so grateful to her for being here at this moment, for not leaving me alone.And now to have her here, delighting me with those soft lips ones was driving me crazy, I just needed her so much."Your mom can come out at any moment" she said pulling away from our kiss with her cheeks obviously flushed, looking so beautiful that the least I wanted to do was stop right now.I stood up and pulled her into my arms to carry her into the bedroom and she gasped in surprise."What are you doing? Put me down" she ordered with a frown, but I ignored her and continued to the bedroom, being there I let her down on the bed."I've missed you like crazy" I said as I sat down next to her."Me too" she confessed looking down a little shyly and that was all I needed to hear to throw myself at her again.I moved closer and took her in
ALEXANDER "Baby in a moment Emma is coming, yesterday before you arrived she showed up at my grandfather's funeral and I had no choice but to accept her coming today so she could leave without making a fuss, I don't know if you can stay in the room since I don't know what her purpose is." I told her, I was a little worried about Emma's visit with Isabella here, my mom had already left about an hour ago the driver came to pick her up and only she and I were left."No problem, but have you decided to make up with her yet? If you want to do it you know that for me there is no problem" she said with a beautiful smile, as if Emma hadn't hurt her, it was amazing how good Isabella could be, but I wasn't, I couldn't forgive Emma and my duty was to protect Isabella, so I wouldn't let her be in my life so she would have a chance to hurt her again.And if I had known Isabella would be staying with me yesterday I would never have told Emma to come along, I wanted to keep her as far away from Isa
ALEXANDER Here we were all the relatives listening to the reading of the will and the inevitable happened, the lawyer announced that my grandfather had left me almost everything, to my uncles he had left only a few shares and the houses and cars that he had bought them before, nothing more than that, which was not to their liking, they were furious because they wanted more.They wanted to be in charge of the company and get the power that I have, so they could be free to squander the money as they pleased."This can't be" my uncle Mark spat standing up furious "we are their children, this will must be annulled.""Mr. Walton made this will in full use of his faculties and he has witnesses, so it cannot be invalidated" clarified the lawyer, he himself had worked for years for my grandfather and was completely trustworthy, he would not allow my uncles to violate his last will."Who are the witnesses?" asked my uncle John "this brat could have taken advantage of dad and tricked him in so
