Chapter 7

• “I’ll get ready” Isabella ran into the washroom with a happy smile and quickly grabbed a shower. Then she came out of the washroom and jogged into the dressing room. Isabella happily stared at all of her clothes and after so many hours finally picked a dress. Isabella looked at the time and found it’s almost six in the evening.
• “How many hours did I spend on picking a dress?” Isabella asked herself and let out a deep sigh. Then she quickly changed into the dress she picked and looked at herself through the mirror. She sighed in relief because she was satisfied with the dress she picked. A white tea-length open back frock with spaghetti straps. Isabella was so gorgeous with the dress. She wore her white color gladiator sandals that reached her ankle. Without wearing any makeup she took a white ribbon and tied her hair to a low ponytail while letting her some strands of hair fall through her shoulders.
• “Aunty Ella, When will he come?” Isabella ran downstairs and hugged aunty Ella. Isabella was just so happy because she could go together with Dylan and she was just impatient. Before aunty Ella could speak Isabella’s phone rang. She quickly looked at the phone and saw the caller id. Her heartbeat increased and she was nervous because it’s the first time she’s receiving a call from her husband.
• “Hello.” She quickly answered the call with a pleasant voice.
• “I’m at the rose park. I’ll give you ten minutes to come. If not I’m going alone” A cold deep voice came from the other side and as soon as he finished his sentence the call was hung up. Isabella waited for a while and let out a deep sigh.
• “Aunty I’m going. Dylan is waiting” With that Isabella ran out of the house and called a taxi. She looked at the time and it sighed. Finally she came to the rose park before ten minutes and saw Dylan’s car was parked beside the rose park. She walked towards his car and stopped. She couldn’t see him because the window of his car was dark.
• With an increased heart beat she raised her arm and gently knocked on the car window twice to signal him that she was there. Dylan opened the window of his car and briefly glanced at Isabella before looking at the park in front of him again. He watched kids playing with an emotionless face and no one could read his real thoughts. Isabella watched him for a while and her eyes fell on the cigarette between his fingers.
• Without thinking about anything she quickly got into the car and sat on the passenger seat. As soon as she got into the car Dylan looked at her with a furious face and again looked away. He slowly blew a beautiful smoke ring, and as the smoke ring lingered around him, Isabella saw him clenching his jaw and she knew that he’s showing displeasure because she was there.
• With an emotionless face Dylan stepped on the accelerator and the car jerked forward.
• “Fasten your fucking seatbelt or die alone” As soon as his heartless voice came Isabella quickly fastened the seatbelt but her heart was hurting. She wanted to cry. She sat there like a stone and her heart was throbbing.
• While Dylan was driving, he puffed on his cigarette non-stop. Other than the occasional sound of his gold lighter, there was no other sound in the car.
• The deadly silence continued all the way until they reached the Hendrix mansion.
• As soon as they entered the courtyard Isabella saw a few more vehicles. She guessed that Hendrix family relatives were also there.
• Dylan stubbed out his cigarette as she switched off the car engine. Suddenly he bent closer to Isabella and pressed his lips against hers. Isabella’s heart skipped a beat, she couldn’t believe the current situation she’s in. His kiss was gentle and filled with love, Dylan slowly unbuckled his seatbelt and then Isabella’s one. He grabbed her from the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
• Isabella was shocked because of his sudden action, she wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him back but she didn’t have permission to touch him. She slept with him twice but she couldn’t even touch a strand of his hair because he said she wasn’t qualified enough to touch him. Isabella’s eyes slowly closed and she enjoyed his passionate kiss. His tongue was sucking and licking every corner of her mouth.
• “Why don’t you stop it and come into the house” Isabella’s eyes snapped open as she heard someone’s voice with a chuckle. At the same time Dylan stopped his passionate kiss and placed a lovely kiss on Isabella’s forehead.
• “We are coming dad” Dylan smiled and spoke to his father. Isabella’s face was covered with shyness because of what just happened. She forcefully smiled at Dylan’s father and bit her lower lip and gained a playful pinch to her cheek by Dylan’s father. Without noticing Dylan had got out from the car and came to her side and opened the door for her.
• What is this? He’s so different. Isabella couldn’t understand his change. She got out of the car and Dylan wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Isabella looked up at him with a surprised face and found he was already looking at her.
• Isabella smiled at him brightly, Dylan watched her face for a while and returned the beautiful smile Isabella had ever seen. Isabella’s heart was happy and it was something beyond limits.
• “My pretty daughter is here” As soon as they entered the house Dylan’s mother strode towards them and hugged Isabella. “Bella come with me” Dela took Isabella’s hand and led her into the house without even caring that her son was also there. Isabella looked back at Dylan and saw he was looking at her with a gentle smile and Isabella also smiled at him and waved her hand slightly.
• “Uncle is here…” a little girl ran towards Dylan and raised her hands up and looked up at him with a bright smile.
• “Lily” Dylan picked up the girl and kissed her cheek. Isabella watched him cuddling the little girl and her heart felt heavy. He loves kids, but why doesn't he want to have a kid? Her heart felt like a puzzle but she knew the reason he didn’t want a child and it was because he’s going to the army but, what’s wrong with having a child? He can stay with the child after he returns from the army.
• While having dinner,
• “Bella, you should give us a grandchild soon” The voice came from Dylan’s mother and everyone who presents their hummed with agreement. Isabella’s heart tightened and her eyes slowly fell on the man who was sitting next to her. His eyes were like a frozen dark forest. Hard to read but everything in there was dangerous. Then those emerald eyes fell on Isabella’s ocean blue eyes.
• “We are working for it. Bella will give you a grandson soon. Am I right babe?” Isabella stared at Dylan’s smiling face with a shock and all her mind asked her was Is this real Dylan or a fake one? Didn’t he say that he doesn't want children? He even forced her to take contraceptive pills.
• Isabella looked at Dylan’s eyes and she found that he was acting. Yes, he was acting all the time ever since they stepped into Hendrix mansion courtyard. Was that kiss also just an act? His smile? That's all that Isabella could think. She wanted to release the pain inside of her heart. Her heart was pierced by her own husband again and again without limits.
• “Yes. We do.” With a smile that forced her all emotions and pain she was feeling inside Isabella looked at Dylan and said. Dylan watched her for a while and his lips slowly curled to a smile.
• “Can… Can I use the washroom?” Isabella quickly stood up from the chair and asked. Everyone looked at her for a while and gave her warm smiles. ‘
• “Yes, Go upstairs and the second room is Dylan’s. Think it as your own room darling” Isabella calmly nodded at Dela with a smile and left the dining hall hurriedly.
