The last thing Amelia wanted was to leave Isabel behind. She didn’t want to leave her in her shadow. Isabel was never supposed to live in a shadow after Amelia pulled her out. If we don’t make it out of this together, I’ll regret everything I put Isabel through for the rest of my life. Was the last thought Amelia had before she lost her stream of consciousness.
In London, Jayden took over both the mother and father roles since Amelia had been gone. Getting their daughter ready for school and leaving Lincoln with the nanny, before he carries himself off to a busy day at work. In the hectic busses of his work day, he didn’t have much time to realize his wife had yet to call him to let him know she was okay. Next month they would be married for a year, and by now, Jayden knew better than to let himself strenuously worry about where his wife was or what she was doing because he would worry them both. Today something in the air was different though. He knew when his assistant came running into a corporate meeting without a polite excusal something was wrong. Gabrielle’s brunette hair that was usually neatly slicked back into a neat ponytail, not a strand out of place, had more than a few strands out of place on both sides. Jayden also noticed she rubbed her top lip nearly raw from rubbing it against her two front teeth, something had been waring on her all morning when she finally spoke, all eyes on her for bursting through the glass doors unannounced, her elegant accent cracked as she only kept her eyes on Jayden
“Mr. Acciolli, you need to come with me, it’s an emergency.”
Dawson was sitting in the living room with his son when he felt his whole chest caved in. The pilot was sipping his morning coffee in his freshly pressed uniform while Asher ate his mixed fruit, this was the boys usual morning routine when Isabel was away. They always watched Asher’s favorite cartoon before his father dropped him off at the Ranch for Malinda to watch her grandson until Dawson returned to pick him later. For now, Asher still wasn’t walking so he was pretty easy to contain, but it was only a matter of time before all hell would brake loose when the mischievous little boy found his footing. “Is it good?” Dawson asked as he flipped through the channels to find Asher’s show bud stopped when he saw the most disturbing headline. “Two American journalists missing from their French hotel.”
