Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 307

Brocade Heights

After her shower, Isadora sat at the vanity, smoothing moisturizer into her skin. She’d tossed her phone onto the tabletop without much thought.

Nanette lingered nearby, clutching her pajamas and casting hesitant glances at the phone. Finally, she gathered her nerve.

“Isadora, can I borrow your phone for a quick call? Mine’s dead.”

Without a second thought, Isadora unlocked her phone and handed it over.

Nanette snatched it up, pretending to dial as she slipped into the bathroom. Out of Isadora’s sight, she quickly scrolled through the contacts, found Victor’s number, and committed it to memory. Then she walked back out and returned the phone.

Isadora looked up. “That was fast.”

“Just needed to check in with my agent about a few things. I’m going to shower.” Nanette forced a smile, a little stiff.

Inside the bathroom, Nanette perched on the closed toilet lid, staring at her own phone as she typed in Victor’s number. Her mind whirled with indecision.

Should she tell Victor about Isadora’s pregnancy and her plan to end it? What if he never really cared about Isadora—if she told him, would he just mock her, or pretend nothing happened? Men could be like that. But what if, against all odds, Victor actually loved Isadora?

For that slim chance, Nanette decided she had to try. Tomorrow, Isadora was scheduled for the procedure. She could make this one call.

Taking a shaky breath, Nanette pressed the call button.

Brrrr... brrrr...

The cold, mechanical ring buzzed in her ear, setting her nerves on edge. No answer.

She gritted her teeth and called again.
