Isabel Derby was born into a wealthy family. She had her very own bodyguard, a slave named Noah, who she was deeply in love with. They could never let anyone know however, for Isabel was arranged to be married to a man named Percival Derby. The wedding day came soon and Isabel was married, but that did not stop her from loving Noah.
Isabel had a privileged life, but she hated it. She was controlled by her husband and hated by her step son, Clay. She was still in love with Noah. Her and Noah had an affair. Weeks later she was pregnant. Isabel could only hope it would be Percival’s child.
Nine long months passed. Isabel was always worried. Especially when her water broke. She had a feeling the baby would be Noah’s, and she was right. The baby was black. Isabel was prepared for the worst and the worst is what she got.
Isabel was not killed, but Noah and her baby were. She was devastated. She became depressed. Isabel spent all her days locked up in her room. She never ate or spoke, only cried. She sobbed all day and night, when she wasn’t crying she was sleeping. Percival would try to get her to come out, but she would never look at him again. He murdered her baby and her true love.
One day, Isabel managed to open the curtains in her bedroom. She looked out to the river near the rice plantation where she lived. A thought occurred, she planned to drown herself in it. She didn’t see the point in living anyways, it meant nothing to her. Isabel did not want to die without any last words. The night before she planned to drown herself she called Teenie, her cook, into her bedroom. Teenie was who Isabel trusted most. She needed to talk to her before she died.
Teenie didn’t stop Isabel from killing herself. She comforted her. She told her everything would go how it was supposed to go. Isabel held onto those words. She gave Teenie one last hug.
The next night Isabel snuck out her bedroom window. She took her time walking over to the river. She carefully crept through the woods leading to the water. Her thoughts were empty as she made it to the waters edge. She looked down and whispered “Goodbye” as she fell down into the water. She soon was taken away by current, and died within minutes.
