Chapter 35

• Samuel stood still for a while. He had expected Bella to say anything else but not that. Damn! Rae promised not to ever mention it to her. Samuel thought knowing the truth about her real father and the circumstances she was born would break her. That's why he did his best to keep the truth away from her.
• "Isabelle." Sam started to say, cupping Bella's wet face in his hands so she could look at him in the eyes. "Rachael wasn't meant to say anything to you."
• "It's not her fault. I caused it. I pushed her to the limit and she had no choice but to voice it out. As much as it hurts really bad, I'm glad she told me. It has become an eye-opener for me. I now know that everything doesn't revolve around me and that I should not take people or the things I have for granted."
