Chapter 685

Isabella’s POV

I felt my chest tighten, my heart breaking as I looked at him, my body trembling as I slowly moved closer, my arms wrapping around him as I pulled him into my chest, my voice trembling as I whispered, “I’m so sorry, Damien. I’m so, so sorry.”

He didn’t hug me back. He didn’t even move.

I held him tighter, my tears soaking into his hair, my heart breaking as I whispered, “I love you. No matter what... I love you.”

He went stiff, his shoulders tensing, his body rigid as he pulled away, his eyes cold, his face hard as he looked at me, his voice low, broken.

“Then tell me the truth,” he whispered, his voice cracking, his eyes filling with tears. “Where is my real mother?”

I froze, my heart stopping, my body going numb as his words echoed in my head, as his eyes bored into mine, as his pain shattered me.

I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know how to fix this.

I didn’t know how to tell him the truth.
