The video played on the screen was of the time Davis John stepped out of the beach house and helped move Alexander and Victorial, who were unconscious, into the ambulance with the paramedics. Also, the video visibly captured Davis’ eyes nodding at Isabella, who was already in the ambulance. Hence, the video was taken away and returned to the interview."So, do you still say you do not know any Davis John, Mrs. Victorial Sinclair?" the journalist asked."I do not understand. Did you bring me here on air to interrogate me? You can see very clearly from the video that my ex-husband and I were being moved into the ambulance on stretchers. We were unconscious and do not know anything that happened around us. Who knows how long we were unconscious for? I have never seen him in my house before, and this revelation of him being in my house is just very shocking to me right now," Victorial yelled."I apologize, Mrs. Victorial Sinclair. It was never our intention to vex you. We just wanted clar
If Isabella knew how she felt after watching the interview, it was a lie. She did not know whether she should hate her mother for betraying her father so quickly or if she should try to understand it from her mother’s point of view and let it slide.But just like her father had said at the restaurant earlier, this was a matter for later; they would come back to discuss it as a family. Their main focus right now should be nothing else but Ethan Mark being roasted like a chicken.As Isabella approached Eldridge, she couldn't believe what had just happened on the road. There had never been a time when the road was blocked by the police or road maintenance crews. However, the road was suddenly blocked, and she wondered why.While she parked her car a short distance away from the obstruction, she looked around and noticed that the road was in perfect condition, making her wonder even more why it was blocked.In her line of sight, there was a sturdy van that prevented her sleek car from pas
However, that wasn't all Alexa said at that moment. "I can teach you how to jump-start a car, Isabella. But even if I do that, I don't know how you'll move this van off the road. Unless I tell you what to do and you do it, regardless of the damage you might cause to the van,""Do I look like I care about this van? If damaging it gets it off the road, then so be it. Tell me how to jump-start this van, and I can head to Eldridge. Remember, I'm running out of time," Isabella said."Alright, Isabella. I'll teach you. So, listen carefully. The first thing you want to do is...""Get out of the van right now, Isabella. Get out!" Alexa suddenly cautioned But Isabella wondered what had suddenly happened and asked,"What's happening, Alexa? Why are you suddenly telling me to get out of this van?""If I tell you to get out, get out. Don't ask questions. You can ask later. Get the heck out of that van now and run!" Alexa warned. However, if it wasn't too late for Isabella, it was a lie. Before sh
Even so, Isabella didn't allow the fear gripping her neck at this moment to become apparent to Elara like a carefully concealed secret under a mask of composure.When she heard Elara say that she was ready to pull the trigger on her, Isabella stopped smirking and maintained a straight face.Within her, her heart pounded in panic like African drums in the jungle, her bound legs shook like earthquakes, and her tied hands grew sweaty like rainfall on earth.Nevertheless, if Elara noticed any of this, it was a lie. And at that moment, she pulled her chair closer to Isabella, pressed the pistol against Isabella's head, and had her skin kiss it."Let’s play a game," Elara said, taking a deep breath as if struggling to breathe, and continued, "If you're a good girl and follow my rules, maybe I'll end your life with less pain. But if you make me angry, I'll make your death slow, and you know what they say about slow deaths, right?""What do they say about slow death?" Isabella asked, fixing h
At once, after Elara hit Isabella on the face, she said nothing more but walked towards the table where Isabella could see her fancy bag. Without understanding what Elara was up to, Isabella observed how she placed her pistol on the table.Hence, Elara moved to the other side of the table, where Isabella couldn't see her face, unlike the back of her head that Isabella saw as Elara walked to the table before.Now, Elara remained silent, focusing solely on the table. Her hands were busily arranging items that Isabella couldn't see, as the table was too high for her to properly observe unless she stood up.Even when she attempted to stand upright and get a better view of what Elara might be doing on the table, she couldn't due to the way her legs were tied together, restricting her body's movement.No matter how deeply she pondered and how far her thoughts traveled about Elara's actions, she couldn't reach a conclusion. Yet Elara continued to remain silent. However, at this moment, a smi
Quickly, as Elara returned to the hole and jumped into it, Isabella was struggling to free her legs. Hence, the words from the police on the outside became audible."Last chance to surrender peacefully. We don’t want this to end badly. Put down your weapons and come out with your hands up."Upon hearing this, Isabella became more frightened as the thought of ending up in jail suddenly dawned on her, and she immediately yelled, "F**king cut loose this motherf**ker!"Like a determined bird in a cage, she persisted in her struggle to cut the ties around her legs. Each futile attempt made her realize that the material binding her was tougher than expected.Hence, when she heard the police say, "Time’s up, We gave you every opportunity. Officers, let’s move in and end this.” Isabella began to see the shadows of the police officers at every corner of the wall she stared at. This made her realize that she was doomed at this moment.Each shadow of the police officer indicated that they were w
"Isabella, the car is just to the left after that corner. Get into it and drive away from these zones before you're found," Alexa said. Consequently, Isabella spotted her fancy car at that moment.Without dwelling too much on how Alexa managed to bring it to this location, she promptly slid into the car and started it, driving away from the area.As she drove, her thoughts returned to how Elara Whitewind had obstructed the road with a road maintenance van and hit her on the head, causing her to lose consciousness. Thus, she suddenly yelled out, "You caused all of this, Alexa!""I apologize, Isabella, if you think I caused all of this. Could you please explain how I did it?" Alexa responded, her voice gentle and reminiscent of an innocent young girl who couldn't find her way home and had to call her mom for help."If you had told me to step out of the car when you realized you couldn't survey the surroundings, I wouldn't be in this mess," Isabella yelled again."Again, I apologize for
Every attempt made by Mr. Smith to encourage Ethan to start seeing someone new and perhaps plan a new marriage had proven futile. Ethan was content with only Sophia and had been providing her with a level of comfort and care she had never experienced before when he was poor.With this, Sophia was content with everything she had compared to when she was still with her mother, and hence, she did not bother about the fact that she had not set eyes on her mother since the moment she had taken her to her father's mansion.All of her wants were met, and her every need was satisfied. She received abundant fatherly love from Ethan as she now attended the best school in the country, and a bodyguard had been assigned to her to ensure her safety and prevent any accidents, whether minor or serious.Hence, she was indeed a happy little girl, and Ethan Mark was happy because she was happy.In the evening of the day, Ethan and his daughter Sophia were returning from the cinema in one of their fancy
