*A/N: To my beautiful readers, thank you! I have so much love for you. I read every comment, they all make me smile & some of yall just too funny. Thank you, thank you. ❤️*

ISABELLE
Let me just say I've had a couple rough ass nights. After Kae's call, I just broke down. I know I told Chris I'd be fine, and focus on work but I knew that was a lie. I can't help but give up my own happiness for others... More specially others that just don't deserve it. Kae's ungrateful ass.

This all my own fault. I shouldn't have ever even left Los Angeles. Then maybe I could've at least made my presence known to Chris and Kae wouldn't have even been in the picture ever at all.

But on the other hand, if he loves me like he says he does why the FUCK wouldn't he wait for me! I would've waited for his ass. But hey, I'm logical. He's impulsive. As shit. We're definitely opposites, but that's what brought us to love each other in the first place.

I don't know if I can go to that wedding. I'm sure as hell I could stop it and going might just make me do it. But people will never stop talking about it and I just can't take that.

There's a knock at my door. I don't know why I dragged myself to work today. The door opens and it's one of my employees.

"Ms. Sanders? You have a delivery." He says walking in with an edible arrangement.

He sets it down, and walks back out closing the door. I take the card and read it.

I hope you're taking care of yourself. I don't know about you but I couldn't get any sleep. You know why. Please let me fight for us. I love you.

-Chris

Oh now you want to show how much you care? That's great Chris. I put my head down and re read the card. What's he gonna do, fight for full custody? He knows that'll be hard as hell with all the work he does although it is a possibility. I take a pineapple off my arrangement and eat it. Amazing.

I dial his number and call him.

"Isabelle." He answers

"Christopher."

"You get my gift?" He asks

"I did, thank you. It's delicious."

"You read what I said?" He says

"I did. I don't know what you have in mind Chris. It's too close to your wedding day, her family is here. I just..it's not fair."

"Why do you even care about her feelings?" He asks me

"Chris, she's carrying your daughter. I care even though I shouldn't. That daughter is still a part of you, and I love you so therefore I love your daughter. Who Kae is carrying. Get it?" I reply

"You would've made a better Mom." He says

My chest hurts again.

"I'm pretty sure of that."

"Isabelle, I can't do it now. I don't know what to do. I don't want you in danger cause Kae can get crazy you know."

"Don't do anything Chris. Marry her. I gotta go." I say and hang up

The phone immediately starts ringing again, and but I silence it. I can't talk to him no more, it hurts just a little too much right now.

After a long day, I decided to go to Sorella instead of going home. When I get there the lights are on, and my nerves shoot up real quick.

Do I call the police? Do I check it out first?
