Elizabeth clung to Bella’s arm, her touch gentle yet filled with an emotional plea.

“Mom, I can’t help it.

I truly love him.

He saved me during my darkest times.

“I don’t care what it takes.

I must have him!”

Bella tried again, but her words fell on deaf ears as Elizabeth continued to block out her mother’s counsel.

Bella’s face was etched with helplessness, and she fell silent.

Having struggled with fertility issues before Elizabeth’s birth, Bella cherished her only child deeply, perhaps to the point of overindulgence.

This, in turn, had shaped Elizabeth into a somewhat spoiled and headstrong individual.

Despite this, Bella held on to the hope that Elizabeth would eventually see reason and avoid the dangerous path of pursuing a married man.
