She tried to open her eyes but quickly shut them again because of the intensity of light. "Isabella dear."  She turned towards the source of voice. Eleanor King was smiling at her. She tried to sit but she was feeling pain in her back. With much difficulty and with the help of Eleanor, she sat on her bed.

   "How are you feeling?" Eleanor asked her. "fine" She said in a low voice."What is the time?"  She asked her mother-in-law.

  "It's 10 in the morning dear. Why didn't you tell us. I am so happy." Eleanor King exclaimed.

   Isabella looked at her mother-in-law, confused. She was happy because Isabella was sick?.

   "You are pregnant. I am going to be a grandmother."  Eleanor told her, smiling. Isabella looked at her mother-in-law with wide shocked eyes. Was she ready? She never felt mother's love? Would she be able to give it to her child? And the most important thing was Zander. Did he want to have a child with her. On these thoughts tears welled up in her eyes.

       Unconsciously, she placed a hand in her stomach. "My dear , what happened? Don't overthink. It's not good for your health."  Eleanor said and wiped her tears.

       "I am scared." Isabella said in a crying voice. "I know, it happens with every woman. Just be strong. Every thing will be ok." Eleanor said and kissed her forehead. She nodded.

        "You must freshen up. I will make your breakfast." Eleanor told her. She again nodded her head. Eleanor helped her to get up from the bed. She did her morning chores. She wore a simple frock.

        As she came out of the dressing room, she saw Zander King sitting in the bed. When did he come back? He was in a casual outfit looking as handsome as ever.

   Suddenly, she remembered last night messages. How could he do that to her? Was she this worthless? Again her mind was clouded with negative thoughts.

     Zander King kept staring at his wife. Staying away from her for one and a half month was too difficult for him. But in that time, he figured out one thing. Zander king was in love with Isabella Salvatore, who was now Isabella Zander King.

    He hated himself for leaving her all alone. But he had worked too hard for this project. Every night , he couldn't sleep without looking at her pictures. He promised himself that when he would go back he would give her everything she wanted. Every thing that she deserved.

    His love, His care and His time.

  She was looking breathtakingly beautiful. He just wanted to take her in his arms and tell her that she had made him the happiest man in the earth alive. He felt completed.

    When he arrived early in the morning, he received the good new. He was going to be a father soon. He was in cloud nine. Eleanor scolded him and was angry on him but he promised his mother that he would be the best husband from now on.

    Kings could feel the difference in his attitude and the sparkle in their son's eyes. At last, their workaholic son found out the meaning of feelings in his life.

  King's were also too happy for the new addition in their life.

Before Zander could say something. Isabella went to her side of the bed without looking at him. She started to eat her breakfast. Eleanor King had put it there.

  Zander quickly understand that she was angry on him. He chuckled. She always looked cute in her angry face like a little kitten. He thought.

    "How are you?" He tried to initiate the conversation. "Bella, I know you are angry but let's start again." Zander king who never requested anyone was pleading in front of her. Something happened to her heart. But again she didn't reply "I am your husband, you just can't ignore me."  Now her behaviour was irritating him. She placed the tray on the side table. She cleaned her hands with the napkin.

   Zander was looking at her all the time. He came towards her and pulled her towards him. This made her looked towards Zander.

   He couldn't control anymore. Her kissed her, pouring all his longings in it. She went numb. Isabella never knew that she was too desperate for him.

  She wanted to push him away and to yell at him but she couldn't. She didn't know the reason though.

     "Oh my god!"  Someone's voice brought them out of their trance. They looked towards the door. Elizabeth King was standing there. She just came to check on Isabella. Isabella turned red in embarrassment. Zander smirked at Isabella. He left her with his grandmother and went out.
