Rachel’s POV

It’s been five months since William and I have said I do, I walked into the kitchen my hand on my tiny swelling belly. William looked up at me from the table and gave me a smile before coming over to me, he put on hand on my belly and stared down at me. “How are we two this morning?” He asked, he asked this everyday since we found that I was with child. I returned his smile and went over to the table to sit down

”my father will be arriving sometime around noon today.” William said as he comes back over and sits down across from me. I feel my heart sink a bit, “was he not against this marriage?” I asked “he is still my father Darling, it will be okay.” Willliam said attemting to calm my nerves. I nod slowly and get up to make breakfast.

that night I lay in bed, I look over at William asleep next to me, I smile softly as I feel my heart skip a beat. I quietly get out of bed and make my way to the front door, I look outside and let out a quiet sigh as I breath in the night air. “Beautiful isn’t it?” William’s father asks, I turn and watch him walk over to me. “its lovely.” I replied turning back to look outside again. “My son has things coming his way, I hope you know this.” His father stated clearly standing right behind me. “I don’t understand what you mean.” I replied as I turned to find him standing a bit too close. He quicly put a strong hand over my mouth “this means that he cannot have anyone standing in his way of this, or it will be his own undoing.” I look deep into his fathers eyes and tear up as I feel strong arms wrap tightly around me, I got lifted up I tried to yell for William but his fathers hand was still tightly over my mouth.

Chloe’s POV

It’s been two months since the ball, I haven’t heard or seen from William, or his sister. I suppose it will be okay, he’s getting married there’s no need for me to hang around anymore. I shuffle from the dresser to the suitcase shoving close in, I knew it was time to move on, once I realized this I knew it was time to move on from this place, from William. I found a place back in New York, I leave in an hour and yet I’m not ready. I let out a deep breath and pick up my suitcase and head to the door.

”order up!” walked quickly over to the counter and pick up two plates of food for table five I walk over and set the plates down on the table. “Your food.” I say softly, I turn to greet the people that just walked in and come face to face with Mae and another guy that is with her. She waves and walks over to a table in the far corner. I take a deep breath and walk over to them, “can I get you anything to drink?” I ask? She smiles and asks for two waters. I nod and walk away toward the counter. “What was that about?” Sara asked sliding up next to me. “Them? Oh, just some people I know.“I brought them their drinks and took their order. "Have you heard anything?" Mae asked as I walked over, I pressed my lips together into a thin line and turned away. "We haven't either. But I think I know where he is." she stated, I turned back and looked at her. "I think you know exacly where he is, and I think you should tell me, tell me all the details." Mae gave me a small smile and patted the chair next to her.
