Chapter 1
Decisions
"I will not marry him!" she jumped to her feet and slammed her fists on her father's desk. "I refuse to."
"Isabella, dear…"
"Don't you dare Isabella, dear, me!" Isabella shouted. "You know I can't stand him. I don't care what his title is. You will not make me."
"Isabella, please be reasonable. He has already come to me and asked permission to marry you and I have agreed."
"Well, you will go to him and tell Captain Morris that you have changed your mind. Because I will not…"
"Yes you will!" Governor Peregrine now slammed his fists on the table. "Captain Morris is a good man with a good title who will take care of you. He also claims to be in love with you."
"In love with me?" Isabella scoffed. "In love with me? Have you ever seen the way he looks at me? He looks at me like I'm an animal being watched behind a sheet of glass."
"Well, he says he is so we must give him the benefit of the doubt."
"I will not give him the benefit of the doubt! Don't you understand? I am not going to marry him!"
"Isabella, listen to me. When Captain Morris arrives to take you to luncheon this afternoon, you will go. You will show that you are having a good time whether you are or not. And lastly, this evening when he arrive to take you to the theater, and proposes to you, you will say yes. Am I clear?"
"Crystal." Isabella glared at the governor and left the room slamming the door.
Isabella survived her luncheon with the Captain and was sitting in her room a few hours later getting ready for her evening visit to the theater and her proposal. She was still fuming from her father's declaration. How could she marry such a horrible man? The answer was easy. She couldn't. But how was she going to defy her father?
She sat in front of her mirror brushing her long, black hair. Something on the desk she sat at glimmered brightly. Isabella looked down and picked up a ring. The ring had and onyx center with a silver diamond in the center. The base of the ring was gold. Her mother had given it to her when she was little saying that her best friend had asked her to give the ring to me when she had me.
She looked at the band of the ring. There was an engraving there which she had never seen before.
From the sea she will find true love.
Isabella smiled at the engraving and looked up into the mirror. She finally knew what she had to do.
