CHAPTER 62
Isabelle decided to take a walk on the lawn in front of the terrace. In her mind, she saw Frannie and Diana running around her, laughing happily. She loved those two girls and hoped to see them later that day. She approached the large tree that stood in front of her old room. Isabelle looked up and saw the little house in the tree she had asked to be built for the girls. She smiled happily, unaware that Shawn was a few inches away from her and that he was watching her carefully. He was leaning against the terrace door and was silently following her every move.
As she was returning to the terrace, Isabelle saw Rosa speak to Shawn. She spoke to him in Spanish and he answered her quickly and fluently in the same language. When she heard what he was saying to Rosa, Isabelle's heart almost stopped and she felt a cold shiver down her spine. Since she

What he just said to her had awakened all Isabelle’s senses... This sweet word torture had to end there! Isabelle raised her trembling arms towards him and wrapped them around his neck, pulling his head down, trying to get Shawn's mouth closer to her body once again."Do you want me to kiss you again, my little Belle?" he whispered.“Yes... Please, Shawn... Please...” Isabelle's frantic sighs excited Shawn. His lips started a captivating dance on Isabelle's warm skin, touching her so imperceptibly that she felt her body touched by a spring breeze. She tried with all her might to bring Shawn's mouth closer to her body, but he resisted her attacks, torturing her on purpose until she started moaning. Only then he allowed her hands to pull his hea

Realizing what he had done, Shawn was stunned. Needless to try to tell her that his intention hadn't been to take her virginity, but he knew she wouldn't believe him. All apologies and regrets won’t ever change what had happened. He had taken her most precious thing... And who knows, maybe she expected him to ask her now to marry him. Obviously, she’ll do it since, like an idiot, he didn’t use a condom, and that there was a risk that Isabelle could get pregnant. Once the dear daddy will find out everything, he will demand that he marry her. He just did something so stupid! Without saying a word, he walked away from her and started dressing. With the hands still trembling, with her face wet with tears cried in silence and full of shame, Isabelle got out of bed. She faltered a little but managed to keep her balance. Isabel
TAKE A CHANCE ON ME CHAPTER 65
When Billy entered the house, he looked around to see where Belle and Shawn were. He didn't want to disturb them, maybe they had finally been able to understand what they were feeling for each other. Even if what he was feeling for Belle was more than just a friendship, Billy was aware that Belle would never be his woman, that she would never feel for him the love she was feeling for Shawn. Yes, his cousin was treating her badly, most of the times he was patronizing her, and sometimes, he was particularly aggressive with her, but Billy knew Shawn was doing it in order to realize if he was falling in love with a new Jennifer or if Belle was truly the perfect woman made for him. Billy walked around the house and decided to go to the kitchen to hear from Rosa where his cousin and Belle were. But there was no one in the kitchen, not even the

“You did what?” Billy asked in a perplexed voice."Exactly what you heard. Then I called at the ranch and I spoke to her ‘dear daddy’ to whom I’ve explained that I know all about his plans." Shawn stared at Billy prudently. “Billy, Andrew Baldwin is broke, penniless… he did some bad business and lost all his money years ago. That's why he's pushing his daughter into your arms. But I put an end to it, don't worry. The phone call I made to him this afternoon solved this problem. From now on, he will stay away from this place and from all of us.” Billy could no longer control his anger and he exploded. Without warning, he hit Shawn in the face and threw him on the ground. Perplexed, Marie covered her mouth so as not to shout and Chris looked at them totally upset. He had neve

Shawn heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Billy enter the room followed by James and an old woman who was looking at them completely stunned. It had to be the old housekeeper, the one who usually took care of the house and of the Baldwins. She went over to Isabelle and took her hand in hers.“I just called 9-1-1. They'll be here any minute now,” Billy said to him and he also came near Shawn. “I also called dad, to get him to contact the sheriff. Better to have him here too.” None of them was paying attention to Andrew; they didn't notice that he wasn’t moving or saying anything."Before fainting, Isabelle told me she doesn't want to go to the hospital... She said something about a doctor called... Jones?!” Shawn sai

Dr. Jones exchanged a couple of words with the paramedics and then his gaze moved to the chair where Andrew's lifeless body was still staying. He felt someone touching his shoulder. It was a man he hadn’t seen before; he was very young and particularly worried about what was happening. His hands were covered in blood.“Are you Dr. Jones?”“Yes, I am...”"Isabelle asked about you, probably because... she was much more worried about that killer than she was about herself," the man added, looking with hatred towards Andrew. “Doctor, help Isabelle, please!”“I’ll do what I can but… who are you?”"I am Shawn Grayson, and I think I'm guilty of everything that happened to Belle,

The old lady was still very worried about leaving Belle with that man, but she accepted Billy's offer. The doctor said to Shawn that he had to go back to the hospital to do a couple of very important post-surgery rounds, but he promised that he would return as soon as possible to visit Isabelle and see how she was. Downstairs, everything was fine now. James along with a couple of boys from the stables had taken away the carpet stained with Isabelle’s blood and had opened the window a little to allow the breeze to clear the room fromthe stench of death. Shawn took a chair and sat down at Isabelle’s bedside. The room was small, but now it was clean and well organized. One could see that it was her room... everything in

Billy said hello to his father as he joined Shawn outside."Belle is slowly regaining consciousness," he said."Is she talking?" Shawn asked, turning abruptly to his cousin.“No, the pain is making her whine. The wounds are very painful.”“Dr. Jones said he will be back in a few hours to check on her and to medicate her again. Maybe he'll give her some sedative to stop the pain.” Billy nodded and leaned back against the entrance door. He raised his head and looked at the stars.“You know that everything that had happened will become everyone's favorite gossip in a few days. Mom told me that when Belle's mom died, the people
