My Second Chance

Chapter-6

Isabella

When we are small, our parents always tell us that no matter what our loved ones will always be with us and support us whatever situation we may be in. But there comes a time in life where not even your own blood or the person whom you took an oath with to stay with the rest of your life will be willing to stay with us. When we face both of the situations, we come to know how cruel the world can be. It's not like we get the knowledge of the world on knowing what and what not to do, but we can at least guess the difference between people and mingle accordingly which is for our own good.

Unfortunately or fortunately, I met all sets of people. My friends in my college were there with me but it's not the same. It hurts me so much to think that my husband did not trust me and left me alone with a baby in tow. Sure! He may get a few pics of me sleeping with a guy and thought that I slept with his brother just because he saw us naked, but that doesn't mean that he'd just blindly trust the pictures and what he saw and throw me out of the house like trash.

Dreaming of a Prince Charming who sweeps us off our feet and being so in love that people will envy us is every girl's dream. I got that Prince Charming until a certain point of time along with the envy. Maybe the envy got to us and we got split but he has to at least have faith in me. The main part is that he let envy get the best of us. I'm sure that he'd got the news of my death by now and must be partying with Annabelle. I also sent him my Christian's certificate so that he can be happier as he really did not care if I was really pregnant with his child. I don't really care if he trusts the papers or not, but I sent him all the proofs which prove that I was dead and Drake identified me and the fact that Chris is with some other person which is in fact me.

His secretary came on our anniversary to give the pictures of my innocence and I forgot to give it to him. Well, I did not really know that the cover had the proof of my innocence, I took the cover as she said it was important and thought that if he really thinks that I did something bad to him I'll make sure I did. Accept the blame instead of doing nothing and getting blamed of cheating on him. You know the best part? He thinks that I'm dead. That's a cherry on top if I tell you, he won't recognize me or my son even if we roam in front of him. I know how desperately his parents want an heir as they're not sure if Emily can get pregnant and even if they get to know that I'm Alayna it's not like they can do anything. In the divorce papers, I stated a clause that the baby growing with me, will not be belonging to him in any case and he has agreed to it with his will. If I died, I stated that I'd be giving my baby to a worthy guardian who can provide him/her with a family who has love, care, affection, and money. Plus, I have my parents now too! I don't really care now. I have my baby with whom I'm living a very happy life all the while Andrew thinks I'm dead.

When I was in deep thoughts about it staring at the streets of London, my brother as in the son of George and Rachel decided to make an entry into my office. Unannounced might I add?

"Hey, Bells" he says with the annoying nickname and get's himself comfortable in my chair as I turn around and face him. He knows everything about me, how Andrew divorced me, how I was fairing alone with no friends or whatsoever. Honestly, I'm very grateful to them. They treated me like their own daughter though they did not know me and then they trusted me enough to make me their daughter. When I asked them why they wanted me as their daughter, you know what they said? That a kind soul like me will never cheat on someone they love or even an acquaintance, and me being me came up with an instant reply of saying that they deserve a better daughter who doesn't have a messed up life. Honestly, I never thought this would happen.

A few years ago, I was in my office working my ass off and I got fired for some unknown reason. Next thing I know, I got appointed in Andrew's company. I worked there, fell in love with him and ended up being married to him. He may think that I gave him one hell of a chase and I chose to be an ice queen not melting for all his gestures. I must say, all of them were romantic and whenever we used to go out on a date, I always used to be on cloud nine on how he used to treat me like a queen. I used to love it to know that he loves me so much. That is the only reason I gave him such a big chase to test if it was a mere attraction he has towards me or he truly loves me for me.
