"How dare that son of a bitch call me despite all my warnings that I would kill him if he came close to me again?" Isabella said this immediately as she pulled over, like a storm gathering strength before it unleashes its fury.Her eyes, even in a blink of an eye, suddenly became reddish, her face hard like a stone-cold mask of fury, and her veins cropped out of her forehead like a raging river, pulsating with anger and frustration.Again, she dug her hand into her fancy bag and brought out her phone."Is he using a private number to call me? How dare he?" Isabella said it aloud like a thunderous clap, her voice reverberating with anger and disbelief, as if he could hear her without picking up the call. Hence, she immediately picked up the call, but what she heard was a different voice which was not Davis'."Hello, b*tch," Isabella heard immediately on the phone, and if she recognized the voice, it was hence a lie.Immediately, all her anger softened, and her veins receded into her sk

Arriving at another store in Eldridge, Alexa had driven the car there for about twenty minutes from their previous location. Isabella, from inside the car, gazed at the boldly written inscription on the wall, which read "Luminova Scientific Emporium." Curious, like a cat drawn to a mysterious sound, she asked, "Alexa, what do they sell here?" "It's best if we acquire the microscope before the gun. They're not sold in the same store, so we'll get them one after the other." "Oh, okay. Should I go in now?" Isabella asked with the innocence of a child who's yet to distinguish her right from her left. "Yes, Isabella, go on in now and purchase the microscope," Alexa answered, like a mother who thus showed her little kid the way to the playing ground, and Isabella stepped out of the car gently. As she pushed open the heavy glass door to the store and entered the Luminova Scientific Emporium, her eyes met those of a man dressed in white scrubs, resembling a doctor. He wore a glass on one

Immediately, Isabella's car roared to life like a lioness of the jungle, scaring away other animals. Her hands were not on the steering wheel, as it was obvious to anyone who looked into the car on the road that it was driving itself like a sentient being following its own path.Even with such propelling speed, resembling a swift gust of wind, the journey took Isabella another 30 minutes of driving. And at this moment, they were at a car park in front of a children's playground, which obviously confused Isabella even more."What is this, Alexa? Where have you brought me? This is no place where they sell weapons; this is a car park with a playground in front of it.""No, Isabella. Why would I decide to play jokes on you? We are here for some serious business, and acquiring a gun needs to be discreet. Remember, you're buying a gun illegally without a license. If you look around carefully, you'll see something unusual. Head towards it and open the dusty door.""I see nothing, Alexa," Isa

"And oh! You might want to unplug your earpiece as you approach the door," Alexa said once more."But why?" Isabella asked, her eyes narrowing with curiosity. She wondered why she should unplug her phone's earpiece, especially since it was her phone and they did not own it."You must understand that this place is a dangerous zone, and any mistake on your part could have dire consequences, potentially leading to your death. So, follow all instructions meticulously and blend in as if you're one of them, only to acquire the weapon. You'll be out of here quickly. Moreover, this task falls on you alone, which means I am shutting down in 1, 2 ....""No wait!" Isabella interjected in a loud whisper, but it was too late. She suddenly heard a chime, signaling Alexa's shutdown. Hence, fear began to take hold within her as she remembered everything Alexa had said, particularly the fact that even the slightest mistake could result in her death."Wordpass Santiago." Isabella breathed out the passw

"Are all of these weapons sold illegally to people?" Isabella exclaimed, her surprise evident. But she didn't expect a response from the man. However, to her surprise, the man did reply. And in this moment, his words contradicted Isabella's initial impression. "You are mistaken, Ms. Isabella Rosewood. These are the weapons we sell to people with reasons to use them. So many unjust things occur under the warmth of this sun, facing the earth, and people often seek a way to rectify the hardships they've endured. For instance, Isabella, you've been unfairly treated by Ethan Mark, who claimed his late father’s properties and quickly forgot about you. In my opinion, it doesn't matter who initiated the divorce; once he reached a peak in life, he should have called you back and rekindle your relationship. So, you have a valid reason to possess one of these weapons. With it, he won't see it coming." Hearing the man's words, Isabella let out a deep sigh. Everything he said felt right. Although
