Voice Of Love: Your Love Is like Fire. I know that I am going to burn but I still jump.

~Jessie Arnaldo Dixon

[ RECOMMENDED SONG:

I See You By PLUM ]

The slap might be sounding rude but Jessie knew that she deserved it. Perhaps she deserved it for a long time. After all, she caused destructions on this family and ruined her mother's name.

Isabella stared down at Jessie furiously. Eyes teared up at her action but she had no sort of remorse plastered on her face. For the first time, Isabella spoke in a voice of iciness,

" What did you promise to me?"

Jessie's face was snapped aside since the impact had caused her cheeks to burn. Her pale lips trembled together. Even though Isabella had slapped her just now, she had no anger on her face. If it was another time, Jessie would have showed her attitude and would leave the palace again without returning just like today.

Jessie turned her face around and looked down at the mattress underneath her feet. Her expression was complicated enough to arise Isabella's further doubts.

When Jessica failed to give her answer on time due to her unsettled emotions, Isabella used a powerful voice to question her sibling,

" Answer to me, Jess."

Jessie swallowed breathing out a long sigh and replied sincerely,

" It was.. just a.. coincidence..I didn't meet him on purpose..He found me with his group.."

Isabella held her forehead in panic. Her doubts weren't clear enough to bring peace in her mind. Turning around to face Jessie again, she spoke to Jessie impatiently,

" Now answer to my questions, okay? I still have my doubt."

Jessie knew that what was Isabella going to do on her. She assured shaking her head refusing,

" Sister! Please.. nothing happened to me..I am on my mind..Look at me.."

Isabella refused to hear anything. She warned her furrowing suspiciously,

" The last time, you spoke the same. Answer to my questions first."

Jessie sighed out helplessly and nodded affirmatively. Isabella started questioning, eyes deeply observed Jessie's each expression,

" What is the nickname that our father used to call me in our childhood?"

Jessie replied fast, revived the memory of their childhood a little,

" Bella."

Isabella's eyes shone in relief. Exhaling a deep breath, she skipped to the last question after pondering for a while,

" What is the birthmark of Cedric?"

Jessie furrowed her eyes at the mention of Cedric's name. Rolling her eyes a little slightly, she mumbled something indifferently,

" Black half Moon."

Finally, the fear, worries on Isabella's face wiped away. She jumped ahead to clutch on Jessie's shoulders and started blabbering constantly,

" Thank god! Thank God! I thought..I thought that you have been hypnotized like previous time..I thought that you are going to murder..."

" He did nothing to me, sis.", Jessie cut off her words and clasped Isabella's hands assuringly.

Seeing that her sister wasn't hypnotized by the evil man today, Isabella beamed into happiness. But next moment, her words came out sternly,

" Did you really not meet him on your own?"

Jessie shook her head numbly and watched her smiling broadening widely. Isabella rubbed on her cheeks and coaxed sighing softly,

" You know that he is no good for you, Jessie. His only intention is now to kill my son. If he uses you again..."

Jessie assured smiling back at her,

" He won't be able to use me anymore, sis because I won't face him ever."

Isabella nodded blankly but still had some fear in her eyes. She knew that Shanz was Jessie's weakest spot. Even though they had splitted up, Jessie carried the scars of his betrayal all the time. People thought that she visited Inn daily just because she was an outrageous Princess but who understood the pain of broken heart?

No one! Even being her elder sister, she could only assume that how hard was it for her to accept everything.

Isabella grabbed her by shoulders and forced her to look into her eyes. When Jessie compelled, she started speaking in a serious voice,

" Don't ever forget your promise to me, Jessie. No one is superior more than our own family. If he can break you once, he can break you again. He is only aiming for revenge. I want you to understand that. You don't want to see me loosing my child, do you?"

Jessie's eyes turned horrified. She shook her head rapidly before stated repeatedly,

" No.. never..I will never meet him again..I promised to protect your child and I will do it till my last breath."

A satisfied smile came on Isabella's lips. She smiled between her tearful eyes and replied,

" That's like my sister. If I die while giving birth to him, you will be his mother as you promised. You hear me? To fulfill your vow, you must never meet Shanz in this life. He will push you to danger and would leave you when you will be ready to die for him. That's how he works. Lure,falls and traps. This is his strategy."

Jessie nodded firmly and choked on her words,

" Nothing will happen to you. We all will live together happily just as father said. Family for life."

Isabella smiled bitterly. Rubbing on her shoulders, she whispered emotionally,

" I don't know about life but I want you to become responsible from now on. I don't want him to use you against us."

Jessie understood her sister's concern. She replied wiping off her tears determinedly,

" Don't worry, sister. One day,I will kill him with my own hands."

Isabella rubbed on her head and spoke softly,

" Get some sleep now. We will talk tomorrow."

She turned to walk out but paused when Jessie asked again with a bitter smile,

" Sis, why can't we have a peaceful love life like others?"

Isabella didn't turn around. With tears coming out from her hazel eyes, she whispered softly,

" Because love is something that we, princesses can't ever have in this world."
