Chapter 14

A new chapter part 2

"Mommy!"

The sound of the little girl's voice forced them both to open their eyes.

"Daddy! Why is the door locked?" she exclaimed trying to open the door.

Isaac was the one to get up first and get dressed as fast as he could. Cruella on the other hand just put her dress back on and lay on the bed again.

"It's not locked, it's just... stuck... we are trying to fix it right now" Isaac's tone could not hide his guilt. "Come on Cru"

"Just five more minutes.."

"Alright" he agreed and quietly unlocked the door. With a sudden move he opened it, pretending that he fixed it. Madeline was standing outside the door holding her black and white teddy bear.

"Good morning my little angel" he stroke the girl's blonde hair.

"Good morning daddy. Where's mommy?"

"She needed to sleep some more. Come on let's go down stairs and make breakfast" he hold her hand and they moved downstairs.

Cruella got up half an hour later and found her husband and her daughter sitting on the table waiting for her. She grabbed a cup, filled it with coffee and then sat quietly next to Isaac.

"Good morning, love" Isaac whispered giving her a kiss on the cheek. She made a tired smile and took a slip of coffee.

"Madeline and I have packed the last things, which means that when we finish our breakfast we can leave"

"Alright" Cruella sighed and left her cup at the table.


"Did you take everything darling?"

"Just one more thing"

"Alright, Mad and I will wait outside"

With slow steps Isaac was headed to the desk. The desk he had spent hours and hours writing his book. He needed to sit on that chair on more time. He also needed to add the last chapter of his book. He spread his hand to reach the brown notebook left on the wooden furniture and then sat on the chair as he opened it. Browsing the pages looking for the first blank page he would find, he noticed something unusual. There were some pages with different letters. This wasn't his handwriting. Only when he started reading it, he realised that those letters belonged to his wife.

"... She was cold, rude, a murderess. She had broke his heart, she had betrayed him, she had done everything to make him miserable but yet he still loved her. That was something that she never understood and probably never will. His love though, his love was able to break the ice that enveloped her heart. It was able to make this heart beat again. It didn't just happened. It took time... months... years... But she started feeling something for him that she couldn't explain. It was strange. She had not feel like this before. Actually she hadn't really feel anything before. The weirdest thing though it was that it didn't bothered her. She liked it actually. It was the moment he asked her to marry him when she looked at his eyes and saw everything she needed to see. He wasn't sure about a lot of things in life but he was sure about her. He wanted her inspite of her flaws. That was all it took to convince her. She said yes. She wanted to marry him. She wanted to please him even though marriage wasn't really her thing.

Some months after their wedding, their child came to life. A tiny little "brat". It was weird because in the past she was the one who used to take life not the one that gave it. First, she didn't really feel close to her but day after day she started feeling that bond between her and her daughter. She always was overprotective to her. She didn't want anyone or anything to hurt her. Τhis was definitely love. She never thought she would be able to love someone but yet she did. That little girl became a part of her life. But the most important one was her husband. She loved him. She really did. Deep inside she always knew that this man was a part of her happy ending but she didn't want to admit it. She let her madness control her. After all what he wrote about her was exactly what she needed to move on. To see life with different eyes. In the beginning she wasn't thinking clear. She wanted to take revenge on him. After some years when she met him again she realised that this wasn't going to lead anywhere. When he kissed her for the first time, she felt her heart skip a beat. Then she knew that she couldn't fight it anymore. Eight years later she' married with him and had his child. If you said that to her back then she would claimed that you were crazy. But it is true. Their love had overcome, fights, birth, even death. When two people really care for each other they always find a way to make it work. No matter how hard it is. And they made it work... we made it work..."

He could feel the tears burning his eyes. He couldn't hold them anymore. As he closed his eyes allow some stream down his face. Those were tears of happiness. What he had just read wasn't only a confession. It was much more. It was much more he could ever ask.

"Darling, come on! We have been waiting over fifteen minutes!" Cruella's voice wake him up from his daydreaming as she walked through the door with a look of annoyance.

He didn't say a word. He just got up and moved towards her. Cruella was looking him as he approached her but before she could make a move he grabbed her waist and placed passionate kiss on her lips. She didn't resist at all. She kissed him back right away.

"What was that for, darling?" She whispered breaking the kiss.

"For being my wife" He kissed her again."I love you" he added then

"Mommy, daddy! Come on!" The little girl interrupter the couple's tender moment.

"You are right little diamond, we need to leave. Come, darling" She agreed with her daughter and took Isaac's hand.

"Just a second" Isaac pulled away and grabbed the notebook from his desk. "Now, we can go" he smiled sincerely and wrapped his hand around Cruella's shoulders. Madeline grabbed her father's hand and then the three of them walked out of the house closing the door behind them.

"And now this chapter is closed" Isaac exclaimed starting up the car

"Time to start a new one!" Cruella added looking at her daughter sitting on the back seat playing with her teddy bear. She grabbed his hand and smiled to him. He smiled back and then he left the house's parking.


And for those who wondered what happened to them after they left storybrooke, it is expected. They lived a happy life with its ups and downs. Madeline got married on the age of 26 with a beautiful young man named Jay and had a son, Isaac.

Cruella and Isaac never broke up. They were together until they both left their last breath one day after their 40th anniversary. It was like they were meant to live and die together. As for Isaac's book, well, he never finished it. Because a true love story never ends...
