Chapter 132The next day, Isabelle went to work as usual, but she was expecting a visit from Sebastien today because he had earlier promised that he was going to come and check out the settings of the devices in the control room to rule out the probability of the disappearance being caused by a technical glitch. She proceeded with performing her daily duties. And a few hours later there was a knock on her office door. “Come in!” Isabelle said eagerly, not even bothering to check the security camera that was fixed outside the door, because she already knew who she was expecting. Immediately the door was opened, she perceived his cologne before he even came into view. Isabelle stood up from her seat and walked towards him, they met in the middle of the office and Isabelle pulled him in for an embrace. “Thank you for taking out time to show up today” Isabelle said, appreciating his effort to be involved in everything that concerns her. “You shouldn’t thank me for little things lik
Chapter 133“So, what is the next step now?” Isabelle heard the very disturbed voice that belonged to violet from over the phone. “Hey, Violet, calm down” Isabelle said, concern etched in her voice.“But-but how?! I’m living in fear b-because I don’t know the next plan Miranda has in mind. It’s S-scary!” Violet stammered. Isabelle leaned back on her swivel chair, “don’t worry, Violet. Miranda won’t be able to harm you. And like I earlier mentioned, we have concrete evidence that Miranda was in the control room.”“But that isn’t enough!” Violet argued.Isabelle sighed and placed her palm on her forehead, “it is a start.” Isabelle said she was so frustrated that the control room didn’t have a security camera that covered it as well. That would have saved them a lot of trouble. Violet sighed, “it is. But I hope it will lead to the end of all these.”“Hopefully” Isabelle said, assuring herself as well as Violet.They spoke for a few more minutes and then the call ended.*************
Chapter 134Isabelle was so disturbed at work the next day because she had gotten a text from Violet very early that morning. Violet had complained about Miranda sending her a message, requesting for her assistance. Violet said Miranda didn’t mention the form of assistance she needed, but she added a threatening message warning Violet that she would face severe consequences if she refused the offer. Or tries to avoid her further. At the time Violet was mentioning this to Isabelle, she hadn’t replied to Miranda’s message and Isabelle wasn’t sure if she would have replied now. Isabelle placed a finger on the bridge of her nose as she drew in a deep breath. Isabelle was instantly filled with guilt as she realised that Violet is going through all these now because of her involvement. Maybe if she hadn’t accepted to become the head of department, Violet wouldn’t have been dragged into all this mess. It was Friday, and the last day of the week. So, Isabelle made up her mind to visit mas
Chapter 135“Until you come with proper evidence, I do not believe all that you have spoken of” master Wilson said with a tone of finality after they had spent almost thirty minutes explaining the past occurrences they have had with Miranda.“But, grandfather! Why do you even have so much trust in her?” Isabelle questioned agitatedly.“We even have evi—“ Isabelle was trying to say when Sebastien cut her off. “We will be back when we have enough evidence and by then, I believe you wouldn’t have any more reasons to doubt us” Sebastien said, they had initially come with the intent of showing master Wilson the little evidences that they had, but a Sebastien thought it would be better to keep the evidence away from master Wilson till it was solid enough that they won’t be able to come up with an excuse when it is finally revealed.Isabelle fixed Sebastien with a questioning gaze, wondering what the sudden change of mind was all about. Sebastien stood to his feet, “master Wilson, we shou
Chapter 136The next weekend, Sebastien and Isabelle arrived at the Wilson’s mansion again. They were sure that with the evidence they had now, master Wilson wouldn’t be able to come up with any excuses for Miranda.Isabelle made sure to cross check that the videos were still intact despite being sure that she had saved the videos on the computer. Isabelle just kept on checking out of instinct because she still found it surreal that they had managed to catch Miranda on live camera. “Okay, let me see what you have managed to gather,” Master Wilson said, after they explained to him that they had gotten concrete evidence. Miranda stood at the top of the stairs, her heart racing within her chest as she eavesdropped on the conversation Isabelle and Sebastien were having with master Wilson.Miranda watched as Isabelle brought out a small shiny substance and she immediately knew that it was her ring!She couldn’t believe that she was so careless that she didn’t think of the fact that they
Chapter 137 Isabelle and Sebastien get back home from master Wilson’s mansion feeling disheartened by their failed mission. Isabelle couldn’t come up with any possible explanation as to why the file became corrupted. It all didn’t make sense to her. And to add to all that, Isabelle knew master Wilson’s view of her had changed drastically. Sebastien tried to console Isabelle all through the journey back to their mansion because he knew Isabelle was feeling really terrible about the whole thing which was understandable. Isabelle kept on trying to retrieve the video but she wasn’t still able to get it. She began doubting if master Wilson would give her a second chance to prove that Miranda was just pretending. ******************Master Wilson walked into Miranda’s bedroom later that evening. Miranda upon sighting him appeared to be morose. “Sorry about what happened earlier” master Wilson thought it right to just apologise on behalf of Isabelle for their baseless accusations. “I’m
“Sebastien, I love you and I can't wait till the day we'll finally consummate this marriage and then I'll carry your child in my womb…” Isabelle said as she did the final button of the white crisp shirt Sebastien was wearing. Sebastien laid there not saying a single thing because of his inability to. He had been paralyzed for a while and also lost his speech. Isabelle stroked his beards with her well manicured nails. He is such a pretty man. She thought to herself. Tears of pain rolled down her cheeks, her heart filled with anger towards the person that made her husband to be in this state when she looked at him.Sebastien's head was rolled to the side and he had a faraway look in his eyes. “Seb, who did this to you? What happened to you? How will we ever be able to avenge the people that made you like this” Isabelle lamented in anger. Three years ago, an incident happened to sebastien after the wedding, on the night of the wedding. She remembered him telling her that he had a v
“Sebastien, I have to leave now” Her mother had called her and Isabelle didn't want to linger. She had to look for a way to get something presentable for her grandfather, Master Wilson, in order to avoid her mother's wrath. Isabelle informed the nurse she kept in charge of Sebastien that she was leaving. Not so long after Isabelle left, Sebastien suddenly quivered and sat up, straightening his head. He widened his eyes in shock and exhaled deeply. “What am I doing here?” he thought to himself. In the next second, he clutched his head with his hands, an excruciating headache assaulted him as a sea of memories flooded his mind. ******************************** “Sebastien you've been called upon to lead the war against Alemand and protect the malinfania as the Son of the famous god-of-war family. We trust you wouldn't let us down” “Don't you dare disappoint us” ******************************** “God of war, we've been fighting and we've never lost any battle. We think it's
