Elope...

Justin stared intently at Bella's pale face, his emotions getting the better of him.

"I want to grow old with Bella, but I can't be selfish. Bella's family isn't like mine. I can leave everything behind for her, but I can't forgive myself if she leaves her family for me. She won't be happy without the blessings and company of her family."

Justin shook his head in agony, his voice raspy. "I have taken too many things away from her. I nearly destroyed her. Ryan, I can't hurt her anymore. I don't want her to lose anything ever." "That's your assumption. Have you asked Bella what she wanted?"

Ryan caught on and furrowed his brows. "It's stormy tonight. It must have taken a toll on Bella to go to you. Family is important, but Bella cares more about you. She wants to be with you. If you tell yourself to move on, supposedly for her sake, a greater danger than tonight's could unfold, leading to tragedy. I hope you won't regret your choice, Justin."

The words shattered him.

Justin's mind wandered back to Bella's pleas to save their baby.

The fever brought about Bella's ramblings, but beneath her smile lurked unspoken trauma, a silent cry for help.

'How did you do it, Bella? How could you smile when you see my damn face? How could you be so kind to me?' Justin thought to himself.
