chapter 7: At any cost

Isabella slammed the door of the study, and started to cry uncontrollably. Nickolas banged on the door, pleaing to her to open the door.

"Izzy, please open the door, tell me what's wrong", pleaded Nickolas

"Please, I wish to be left alone",replied Isabella she was deeply hurt, she accepted to marry another man, while being married to the only man she loves...James.

"Isabella, please...you said you needed me...if you need me, then tell me what's wrong".

"Fine, come in", she finally replied.

Nickolas walked in to see her curled up on the floor, hugging her knees to her chest.

"Izzy...what did he do to you"?asked Nickolas taking her in his arms and setting her down on the couch.

"He...he, he told me if I don't marry him he will kill Elizabeth, Will, and James".

"That idiot, what did you say".

"I accepted".simply stated Isabella, once again she began to cry.

"Isabella, how could you, you are still married to James...who is alive."

"If I did not, he would manage to find him first a kill him...Nickolas I would do anything to save James".

"yes, but not this...come along".

"Where are we going"?

"To your uncle's house, earlier today we came up with a plan to save you, Robin, and Elizabeth".

"He said what"! yelled Weatherby in totak shock.

"Yes...and I accepted". replied Isabella

"That is it, your father sent me a letter, he found out and he wants me to take you, baby Robin, and Elizabeth to England, which is what I will do, I will go and get Elizabeth tomorrow, I managed to get a passage to England, the capitan is a friend of mine".

"But"- Isabella began to protest, this would ruin her plan to brake her free, and she and Elizabeth would go and search for Will and James.

"But nothing, I want you ready by tomorrow night all of you, as well as Catherine, I will let her know".told Weatherby.

"Settled, then",replied Nikolas

"Good, now I suggest you take Isabella home to get some rest".

Later that Night

"What is this"? questioned Isabella noticing a large satin box on her table in her room.

"Oh...that mam, arrived this afternoon, it is from Lord Beckett, he wishes to have an early supper with you tomorrow and requests you wear it".

"Bloody Hell", mumbled Isabella to herself. She opened the box in it was a beautiful ruby colored dress, it was very beautiful, nice attractive neckline, pretty detail on the hem of the dress. She began to cry once more, because the color of the dress reminded her of the heart shaped ruby necklace James had given her, now that was lost too. She threw the box on the along with the dress, and went to spend time with her baby.

Robin was in her crib, wide awake, Isabella picked her up and held her in her arms, with tears coming down her eyes.

"I am sorry, ma petite cherie, but I have to do this to save your father...it is the only solution", Isabella kissed her rosy cheek, and Robin lifted her tiny hand and cooed. Isabella will attend that early supper with Beckett so she won't cause suspision. Isabella is determined to save her husband at any cost.
