Sebastien's gaze darkened with fury, “you know, I just stood in the corner, watching. Waiting. Hoping that you wouldn't lay your filthy hands on my wife. How dare you?”
Sebastien was so livid and even Isabelle and Miranda were taken aback by the level of his annoyance.
“Do you have a death wish!” Sebastien thundered.
Romero burst out into laughter, he couldn't hide his amusement. He couldn't believe he was being threatened by a non-entity. “You are very stupid. Who do you think you are to threaten me? I have an expertise in dealing with people like you”
He snapped his fingers twice and three guards came into the office with chains, blindfolds and ak47 guns.
“Tie them up!” He ordered the guards.
Isabelle shivered in fear. Her thoughts ran wild at that point. Was this how she was going to die? Maybe she should have listened to her parents? What if they kill her and Sebastien?
The guards dragged Sebastien away from Isabelle first and chained his wrists and ankles to a pole.
Romero took a sip from his whiskey again and said, “I will torment you both till you die. Next time you'll think twice before stepping into the lion's territory”
Miranda just watched with a smile on her face. She loved what was happening because now Isabelle had lower chances of becoming the next heir.
“Chain the lady opposite her foolish husband so they can see each other's suffering. Bunch of fools!” Romero spat out.
At this order, his guards dragged Isabelle, who followed them without resisting, towards the pole and just when they were in the process of chaining her, Romero's phone rang.
It was Kirill, Romero's boss and the mafia leader of the American mafia group. Romero raised his hands towards his guards signaling them to pause what they were doing, then he picked the call.
“Hello boss, what is it? A man and a woman came to my office demanding money I owe them, can you imagine the audacity? They both bear the surname Hunt”
“The man's name is Sebastien and I have already chained him up, I'm planning on tormenting him till he dies”
Isabelle gasped.
“And then the woman. Such a good body figure can't go to waste. I and my men are going to have a nice time with her later in the evening”
A loud thud was heard from the other side of the line
“Boss, are you okay?”
Then a thunderous voice was blasted into Romero's ear through the phone.
“Alright?! Have you lost your senses?! Are you joking with me right now?! You must be mad. Who do you think you are to beat them up and tie them?! Do you have any idea who Sebastien hunt is?! Look, I don't want trouble. Untie them, do whatever they tell you to do, apologize for them and let them leave. Sebastien Hunt and his family shouldn't be joked with!”
Romero has never seen his boss, Kirill, this scared. His voice was even shaky. That was how frightened his boss was.
“Boss, calm down. Are you mistaken? This man is just a piece of trash that married into the Wilson's family. He is of no essence. I'm sure no one will even notice if he ceases to exist”
“Romero! Romero! Tell me, are you trying to get yourself killed? If you are, just leave my group. I don't want to get myself involved with the hunt family. You and I are insignificant to them. One swat and we are all gone. Do you understand me?!”
“Boss, wait…..” Romero was nervous and became uneasy as sweat drops rolled down his face.
“This is my last warning. That man isn't someone I can even face. Do what I have told you to do and make sure you apologize and most importantly, make sure he accepts your apology!”
The call ended abruptly.
Romero dropped his phone and ordered his guards, “loose the chains. Be quick! Be quick!”
Isabelle was surprised, she wondered what the conversation with his boss was about that made him nervous,scared and most importantly made him order the guards to release them.
Meanwhile Sebastien smiled cockily. He knew Romero's boss must be fond of the family name ‘hunt’. People who were familiar with malinfania history knew there was only one ‘hunt’ family and they are popularly known as the family of the god of war.
Miranda stood up surprised that Romero was willing to let them go just like that. “What? Are you telling me you'll just release them like that? What happened to teaching them a lesson?”
Romero shouted and swung his hand, landing a slap on Miranda's face
SLAP!
He then pointed at one of the guards, “You! Get this insane woman out here. How dare she question my decision?!”
The guard came over and grabbed Miranda by the arm dragging her towards the opened door. She struggled against their grip, “But I haven't gotten the lands yet!”
“Get out! I'm not giving you any land. Just forget about it or do you think I'll return your filthy wristwatch ” Romero chuckled, “forget about it, I'll rather sell the wristwatch and make extra cash. Now get out of here!”
The drags continued dragging her and when she got to where Sebastien and Isabelle stood she threatened that she'll complain to grandfather and she will make sure they pay for all this!
Then the guards took her out of the office.
Romero then turned to Isabelle and Sebastien and asked, “How much is the debt? I'll give you the money now”
He then turned to sebastien and said, “ Mr hunt, Mrs Wilson, I'm so sorry for how I behaved earlier please forgive me. Please do not mind what I said earlier”
Isabelle was shocked
Romero's change after the call was so sudden
Sebastien just had a smile on his face, he knew Romero's boss must have settled the matter.
“You are going to send the money now and also you will add interest to it to pay for the troubles you have caused us. That is when this will all be settled”
“Yes, Mr Hunt, I'll do that right away” then he went to write the check and handed it to them.
Isabelle and Sebastien took the check and walked out of his office. When they got to the gate they saw Miranda there sulking beside her car.“You! The both of you! How can I be humiliated because of the two of you! I promise you both will pay for this. I'll tell grandfather and everyone that you both watched Romero beat me up!”Isabelle was shocked at her outburst, where they were supposed to stop Romero from beating her up. Would she have done the same if it was the other way round.“Oh shut up! Would you have done the same if it was the other way round?” Sebastien asked calmly, he knew the answer should be no after all she was mocking them and wished they had gotten beaten up by Romero. “That doesn't matter! What's important is that you should have helped me!” Miranda felt ashamed, why would he slap her in front of those little brats and to add to the shame he didn't even give her the land that she came for.She fumed in anger. This was the height of disrespect she had received in
When they got to the house, Adeline ran downstairs to welcome them. She hugged Isabelle and examined her body before asking, “hope you didn't get hurt?” Isabelle was surprised by her mother's reaction, she expected her mother to be angry and shout at them.Isabelle smiled, then said, “I'm fine, I don't know how Sebastien did it but he really helped me”“I think you should thank him instead and on the bright side we were able to get the money from romero pierson” Isabelle turned to look at Sebastien with a huge grin on her face.Adeline couldn't believe what Isabelle said, there's no way that a retard like Sebastien could save her daughter from a mafia gangster. “That isn't possible. Isn't it this Sebastien that isn't even capable of protecting himself not to talk of protecting another person”“Mum, I was there and I know what I saw. And because of Sebastien they obeyed us and gave us the money and even added extra interest” she raised the suitcase and showed her mother.Her mother r
Later that night Isabelle's phone rang, she picked it up and took a look at the call ID, it was Sebastien. She then answered the call with a smile on her face. “How are you feeling now?” His smooth voice was the first thing she heard. His voice always made her fall deeper in love with him. If that was even possible. “I've told you I'm fine, Sebastien.” Isabelle tried to assure him. “Thanks for your help earlier today, you still haven't told me how you did it but I'm sure we didn't get hurt because of you” “Hmm. Like I said earlier, at the right time. You'll know. Right now let's focus on securing the deal with Chesterfield investment company. We really need to get this deal” Isabelle nodded, forgetting for a moment that he wasn't there with her. “Yes. But how can we do that in such a short time frame? We have just today and tomorrow!” Isabelle wanted nothing more but to see Miranda being put to shame but at the same time the possibility of Isabelle getting the investment was ver
Sebastien was supposed to meet Isabelle that afternoon but the plans her parents had ruined everything. Isabelle was currently seated in front of the huge mirror that was placed in her bedroom and the hairstylist and make-up artist were busy on her hair and face respectively. Immediately she agreed to go for the dinner, Adeline was so excited that she called professionals to make Isabelle look more beautiful. In no time they were done with what they came to do and Isabelle took a look at the mirror and she was impressed because of how good the make up made her look.After that, the beauticians left and Adeline came into the room with some boxes. Isabelle was surprised when she saw the labels on those boxes. Those were designer products and they weren't extremely expensive. “Mum! How did you get that?” She couldn't help but ask because she knew with their current financial situation there was no way that her mother would have been able to purchase products from prestige brand. Even t
Sebastian was hurt by their actions, but deep down he had a feeling that Isabelle would not betray him. He knew that no matter what, she would stay by his side. If she was with him when he was handicapped, how much more now that he is hale and hearty. His phone rang and he picked it up, it was the man he was supposed to have a meeting with concerning the Chesterfield investment deal. “Good day sir. So we have scheduled the meeting for tomorrow as you earlier requested, just wanted to confirm if it's fine with you” the man said.“No. Let's have the meeting today” Sebastian said with so much authority. He had earlier planned on telling Isabelle about his meeting plans with some of the officials in Chesterfield investment group but since she had other plans he was just going to carry on without her.There's no time to waste.“The luxe, 10am. Don't be late” Sebastien gave out orders.“Alright sir” And the call ended abruptly. ************Meanwhile, Isabelle and her parents were gettin
Adeline fumed in anger, as she who the hell gave Sebastien access to this prestigious restaurant. Not only that but he was also suggesting Isabelle joined him on the seventh floor!“Keep your filthy offer to yourself! Tell me, how did you get access to this restaurant?” Adeline said bitterly, everything was going well, everyone was getting along just fine and Sebastien just had to come at this time. She was so livid!Isabelle was surprised, the seventh floor was even more expensive and more extravagant than this floor they were currently on. The higher the floors the more expensive and classy they became. This made Isabelle question once again, who Sebastien truly is.Sebastien smiled warmly, “oh, you hurt my feelings with your words and I couldn't care less. All I doing is asking your daughter if she'll come along with me to the seventh floor”“What sort of joke is this, Sebastien. If you can't respect us, why don't you respect the family seated on the same table as us. Just go back
Meanwhile,At Roland's mansion, Miranda was pressuring him as they had not made any progress since the previous day. They hadn't received any feedback from Chesterfield investment company. Miranda paced to and fro the large living room, she couldn't bear the thought of not being able to secure the deal and losing out on the chance of becoming the next heir. Isabelle had already succeeded in getting the debt from Romero, who knows how long it'll take her to secure the deal too.Miranda glared at Roland who was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed at the ankle, “you aren't even doing anything! Aren't you supposed to be as bothered as I am right now. Or don't you know whatever happens will also affect you as much as it'll affect me”“But what do you want me to do? Or rather what do you expect me to do? I have already submitted the application to the company and all I await is feedback” Roland answered her calmly. “How long do we have to wait for feedback! We have just tomorrow Ro
At Roland's mansion;It was almost midnight and Miranda and Roland were yet to have feedback from the Chesterfield investment company. They were starting to wonder if their letter even got delivered to the higher ups in the company. “Are you sure you didn't give the letter to an ordinary secretary at the company?!” Miranda questioned for the thousandth time. Roland, knowing fully well that he submitted the letter just like any other person would have, still nodded to assure her that he gave the letter to someone with a more significant position in the company. Which isn't true. “Babe, I'm sure of what I'm telling you. Just relax, we'll get feedback soon” Roland said that to also assure himself, all he was holding on to now was just hope.“It's almost 12 am. How long do we have to wait?” Miranda asked tiredly. She had high hopes at first but now it is slowly melting away.Roland pulled her closer to him and placed her on his laps, her legs hanging on either side of his, so she was s
