-"No…"

Bella grabs the bars of her cell, sliding down to the floor, fear spread across her face, feeling the walls starting to close in on her, the idea of marrying Alexander suffocating her.

-"I saw Lord Roberts enter Logan's study, but I assumed he was one of Logan's Lord friends. It wasn't until he summoned me and Ethan to his study that I found out who Lord Roberts really is and why he is here." - Amara kneels next to her. -"I'm not here just to tell you this. I will try and help you in any way I can, but you have to give me your word that Ethan will be safe when this is all over."

-"There's nothing that can be done. I'm doomed. I will never see my daughter again." - Bella shakes as she cries, tears streaming down her face.

-"You need to pull yourself together. Do not give up, not now. If you were strong enough to go against your father once, you are strong enough to do it again."

-"What made you change your mind?" - Bella takes deep breaths, trying to focus on something other than the thoughts that are running rampant in her mind.

-"You were right, I had a choice to make and I made it. Now it's your turn. So, what's gonna be, Arabella?"

Bella takes another deep breath, nodding, before standing up, Amara standing with her.

-"Josh needs to know about this. We need to find a way to send a letter to him without my father knowing."

-"If I send Ethan with the letter, will Josh harm him?"

-"You're trying to get him out of the Castle?" - Amara nods. -"If you get me paper and a pen, I can make sure Ethan will be safe with Josh. What about you? Once my father finds out about Ethan, he will not take it well."

-"I'm not afraid of your father. All I want is for Ethan to be safe."

-"I can guarantee your safety as well, if you want to leave with Ethan."

-"No. As long as Ethan is safe, my safety doesn't matter. Besides, you're gonna need someone to help you get more information from Logan and I'm in a privileged position."

-"You don't need to endanger yourself in order to help me."

-"It doesn't matter what happens to me. All that matters is my son."

-"Amara, thank you. Thank you for helping me. Get me the paper and pen as soon as you can. Maybe we can get a step ahead of my father."

-"I'll be back as soon as I can, I promise."

Amara leaves in a hurry, Bella has no doubt so she can get what Bella needs to ensure not only her own survival but of Ethan's as well. She walks back to where she was sitting and lets herself slide down the wall, wondering if she can get out of this, now that Alexander is in the mix.
