Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 501

Rowena was quickly sent off to Africa, forced into sex work as a foreign aid “bride.”

Word had it that once she arrived, she simply couldn’t bear the humiliation. Her dignity was shattered, her spirit trampled into the dirt, day after day forced to endure several men. She tried desperately to escape, but every attempt ended with her being dragged back.

The last time they caught her, she didn’t survive. They beat her to death.

Keeley—Rowena’s mother—collapsed from the shock when she learned what had happened to her daughter.

All this, Nanette and Isadora only found out much later.

When Isadora heard the news, she barely reacted.

Whatever shred of sympathy she might have once had for Rowena had vanished the moment Rowena poisoned Pudding to death.

After some time recovering, Isadora was finally allowed to leave the hospital.

Victor appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, pushing a wheelchair.

He stood tall and relaxed behind it, hands resting casually on the handles, his expression perfectly at ease.

Isadora blinked at the sight.

Wasn’t this a little much?

She’d only been hospitalized because she’d gotten overexcited and had a scare with her pregnancy, not because she couldn’t walk at all.

Besides, after her stay in the hospital, she was feeling completely fine.

By now, she was almost six months along. Her belly was noticeably round, and although her figure was still slender, even a loose black dress couldn’t hide her pregnancy anymore.

The scare had rattled her, and she often woke in the middle of the night—sometimes with a sudden cramp in her leg, sometimes with her stomach twitching violently.

No matter the hour, the moment she startled awake, Victor would snap to attention beside her. Gone was his usual calm, replaced by frantic worry and clumsy hands.

It was always Isadora who reached for his hand to reassure him. “I’m fine, really. Don’t worry.”
