Maintaining the same speed as Eldridge, Isabella arrived at the hospital. Like a bolt of lightning, she hurried out of her fancy car and raced like a gazelle to the hospital’s post-operative room, where her parents were kept.Not even the caution of the receptionist was able to stop her as she ran past the passageway and bumped into every nurse and patient's family walking through it at this moment. Though the looks on everyone Isabella had bumped into were of aggression at what Isabella had just done, and when a few of them even cursed at her for almost falling them to the hospital floor, she did not mind, and she only continued in haste, pushing anyone in her way aside."What?" she exclaimed as she hurriedly turned the door handle to the post-operative room, and the door opened to the post-operative room; yet, she found no one inside."Where are my parents? Where is the guard? Where is everyone?"Her confusion covered her from head to toe like the garments of men from Dubai. There w
Isabella arrived at the beach house, still vexed as if she had been anointed to be Lucifer's second in command. She walked quickly towards the entrance door as soon as she slipped out of her fancy car. Immediately, she paused, and what she saw ignited the fire of rage burning within her. She then decided to act on her words of promise by diverting towards the beach, just beside the house, to find a heavy stone that she couldn't carry alone with one hand.Lifting the heavy stone with both hands, she continued to groan as she walked faster, indicating the weight of the stone. "F**king Davis, I promised you would smell death the next time I see you here," she muttered, and with that, she smashed the heavy stone into Davis' car's windshield.As if that wasn't enough, she smashed it into every other window the fancy car had, causing the car to make an alarm sound like a symphony of shattered dreams. "F**k you, Davis, f**k you!" she said again, her breathing heavy upon her chest as she walk
As Davis left the beach house, Isabella's rigid face softened like ice melting under the warm embrace of the sun, and she maintained a calm demeanor. Quickly, she sat closer to Alexander and Victorial like a protective shield, encompassing them with her presence and love, and asked, "How are you two feeling now?"To her, the smiles on their faces were enough to reassure her after all the annoying things she had gone through, right from Eldrige to HavenBrook Hospital and to the beach house, like a soothing balm, providing comfort to her weary soul."And have you guys eaten?" She asked immediately, and suddenly, this question made her realize that something had been strange about the mansion since she came in. And so she directed the question to Alexander immediately."Dad, it just occurred to me that I did not see any security guard at the gate, no security guard in the compound, and where are the housekeepers and the private chefs? Where is everyone?"As Isabella asked, Alexander took
Alexander broke into pieces like shattered glass falling from the skyscraper as he fell to the floor and expressed his pain, which burned within him. On the other hand, Isabella's eyes were full of tears, as she could not imagine that what just happened would ever happen for any reason.Surely, how the security guards left their service and how the housekeepers and private chefs left their service in the beach house was not really a big concern for Alexander when he still had his family. However, when Victorial left him, it was as if his whole world collapsed into a bottomless pit."Where do I start from? What do I do?" Alexander asked in a low, teary voice. Nonetheless, it did not seem as if an answer was coming.Suddenly, with teary eyes, he furrowed his brows and looked at the walls. His voice became hard as he said, "Ethan Mark, you are the devil who visited me. Yet you act like a dove in the face of everyone else. I will make sure your whole world collapses as you made mine. I wi
Walking down the grand hotel hall, Isabella was led by one of the hotel staff members the receptionist had called to show her to her room.The hotel staff was a lady who wore a short black skirt that did not reach her knees, and her white shirt had the top buttons undone to show her cleavage, like a bold declaration of confidence and allure.In the same manner, she had straight blonde hair flowing down beyond her shoulders to her back. When she stood closer to Isabella, she was shorter in height, like a delicate lily bowing before a majestic rose, even with her mountain-high heels that should have made her taller than Isabella.To this, Isabella scoffed. but to further a statement, it was a lie.The hall was adorned with opulent chandeliers that brought a warm glow to the intricately designed wallpaper, depicting scenes of Eldridge's rich history. Plush crimson carpets lined the polished marble floor, muffling the sound of her footsteps as she walked closely behind the hotel staff.Wi
"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
Though Isabella heard the man's words loud and clear, she believed that she didn't need to respond in any way, whether yelling or speaking calmly. Therefore, she began to walk out of the man’s appliance shop.Anticipating Isabella's next move, the man didn't hold back his outburst. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Everyone knows your face, Isabella Rosewood! No one will sell you that weapon; nobody even sells it. But I can get it for you if you tell me what you want to use it for."Isabella had already reached the entrance door as the man finished speaking. "Would it really be so bad to deceive him? After all, he might help me get what I need," she thought. With that, she turned back and walked toward the man.Tears unexpectedly welled up in her eyes as she walked. Muscus streamed down her nose like a rivulet, and her beautiful face transformed into a picture of sorrow, akin to a rain-soaked flower."I apologize, Isabella. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just meant...""It'
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
