Chapter 14 Isabella's preschool got a new teacher . Dark hair , dark eyes , tall and good - looking - but cold as ice and totally unapproachable , All the kids were curious about him , but this teacher seemed to only have eyes for one student : Isabella . Isabella blinked him with those big eyes . " I know you . You're the guy who made e my mom upset the other day . " Trevor crouched down to her level , keeping his voice carefully controlled . ' Did your mom ... did she say anything bad about me ? " " My mom doesn't talk trash about people . She says that's not nice ! And she never mentioned you anyway . I have no idea who you are . " Hearing Isabella say that hit Trevor like a punch to the got . Talia must still hate him . That's why she never brought him up around the kid . " Your mom and I ... we used to know each other . We were really close once , but I screwed up and disappointed her . " " Isabella , can you tell me what your mom likes ? I want her to forgive me . Think you could help me out ? Trevor tried to coax information out of her , but Isabella was way smarter than he'd expected . Im not telling you anything ! You're a stranger , and you can't trick me ! " She immediately covered her ears and spun around , looking absolutely adorable . It reminded Trevor instantly of Talis . Back in the day , when he'd piss her off , she'd do the exact same thing - cover her ears and say she didn't want to hear his voice But a little sweet - talking always brought her around . She never held grudges . But somehow , he'd managed to push her so far that she'd been gone for five whole years . " Okay , I won't ask about that . Isabella , can you tell me about that man from the other day ? What's his deal with ith your mom ?" At that . Isabella turned back around , her little voice full of certainty . " He's my daddy ! " " That's impossible ." Trevor's face went stone cold . " Linte kids shouldn't lie , or the police will come and take you away . " He only meant to scare her a little , but his tone was too harsh . Isabella burst into tears " Uncle Luigi 15 my daddy ! I love him and he loves my mommy ! He 15 my daddy ! You're a big liar ! Waahhh ... Trevor panicked . He had zero experience with crying kids and fumbled around trying to wipe her tears and nose , making everything worse . Isabella's face was bright red from crying . Trevor tried to soften his voice , practically squeaking , " Tin sorry , Isabella . I'm really sorry . Please don't cry , okay ? " He pulled her into a hug , trying to calm her down . Just his luck - it was pickup time . Parents were arriving to collect their kids , and Talia showed up right on schedule . So this was exactly what she walked into . " Trevor , what the hell are you doing ?! " 23:09 You Wanted Her Happy WITH MY GLORY ? I Made You Childles , WITH YOUR BT DOIN HER Chapter 14 She stormed over , shoved Trevor away , and pulled Isabella protectively into her arins . " If you've got a problem , take it up with me ! She's just a Her voice was shaking - with rage and feat . Trevor stood up slowly , looking down at her with something almost like hurt in his usually cold eyes . " Talia , is that really what you think of me ? " would never hurt her . Never . " " Because she's your daughter , and she's also- " " She's MT daughter , " Talia cut him off . " Mine and mine alone ! " With that , she clutched Isabella tight and practically n out of there , like she was fleeing from a monster . Trevor in just stood there watching her disappear , then looked down at his fingers . A single strand of hair was wrapped around one of them . Isabella's hair . Chapter 15 The whole drive home , Talia's hands were shaking on the steering wheel . Nobody - and she meant " nobody - was taking Isabella away from her . Not even her biological father Trevor Kence . Over her dead body . She was still in a state of collapse by the time she pulled into her driveway . As she helped Isabella out of the car , Luigi came out of his place . One look at her face and he knew something was seriously wrong . wing on ? I " Hey , what's going on ? Is everthing ok ? " Talia's voice came out all shaky . I think ... I need to pull Isabella out of that school , Maybe we should move . Again . " " Move ? " Luigi's face darkened . That bastard Trevor ? " " He was at Isabella's school today . I found him holding her and talked to her while she was crying , and 1 just - Talia's voice cracked . I don't know what game he's playing , but I can't risk it . " The fear in her voice was raw , desperate . This was her worst nightmare - Trevor getting his claws into Isabella . Luigi stepped closer , his voice steady and protective . " You don't have to run from him again , Talia . If you want him gone , I'll make sure he leaves you both alone . " " No. " Talla took a shaky breath , trying to pull herself together . " Thanks , but I need to handle this myself . I can't keep running forever . He was the one who should run away . The next day , she called Trevor . Her hands were trembling as she dialed , but she forced herself to do it Trevor picked up on the first ring , and she could hear the hope in his voice . " Talia ? You're calling me? " " We need to talk . Meet me at Cafe Milano in an hour . " Trevor was already there when she arrived , sitting at a comer table with a stack of papers in front of him . The moment she sat down , he started pushing documents across the table like he was closing a business deal . " What's all this ? " she asked , staring at the paperwork . " I bought three houses here in Crema - all in your name . And there's a bank account with five hundred million dollars . It's all yours . " His eyes were bright with desperate hope . " Please , Talia . Just take it . Don't say no this time . " This completely caught her off guard . She'd come here with a speech prepared , and now went right out the window . " Are you out of your damn mind ? What is this supposed to be ? " Trevor slid another document toward her , this one looking more official . " I had some tests done . Isabella is definitely mine . And you're single - you and Luigi are just neighbors , right ? " Talia's blood went ice cold . She'd known this day would come , but Jesus , he worked fast . " So what ? " Her voice came out harder than she'd intended . " Even if the is , even if we are so what ? "
