After Doris had spilled everything regarding their secret plan, Nathan felt for some reason that if he wasn't around, things would go fine between Doris and Tori. And he wasn't so wrong. They had settled their differences, and they were even glad they were together. But he, he only wanted to be alone by himself. Just as if he had spilled all of his mind to Tori, she walked over to him and sat with him. They had been so close and perhaps she feared that it would be a total waste if she let everything all go to waste. "Are you okay?" She asked him, and he thought for a while what his reply would be. He couldn't tell her exactly how he was feeling, that wouldn't make any sense at all. But all in all, he was truly glad that she was as back and there was no denying in that feeling.He stared to her, then said nothing at first, but decided to reply her. It would be a total waste if he didn't say anything to her. "Actually, I'm not. I don't understand a lot of things and I have really miss
Tori began to pour her mind out. "You told me that you knew nothing about it, why did you lie to me?" Nathan knew he couldn't his forever. Someday, he would have to tell her about it. He didn't even know exactly how to start. "It's...complicated." He said at last, after much consideration. "You like her, don't you?" Tori said, knowing fully well that her claims had been right. Nathan frowned. "What? I love Doris. I would literally put both you and her first before bringing Isla or anyone else. Why are you talking like that?" "Well, do care to explain what exactly is going on with that Isla then." She demanded, not in an arrogant manner but rather an inquisitive one.Nathan drew a heavy sigh. "Well, I was starting to trust Parker Ryan, but Isla made me realize that things have changed. I didn't get her at first but then it was starting to become glaring, Tori. Both Parker Ryan and Fernando, they have some sort of connection together. And Isla might be the key to figuring that out.
Isla was silent. Her mind played far, wondering how the woman before her had gotten that information. Her voice, shrill and bold broke her off her thoughts. "What's on your mind, love?" "Stop calling me your love." Isla frowned, irked by the idea of a woman calling her with sweet name. She wondered if she was a lesbian sent to seduce her in some way, and what annoyed her was the fact that it had worked at some point of time in their dinner... Minutes ago before she had dropped the big bomb. "I never said, my love. I only said, love. I believe I can say whatever I want to say," she replied, enunciating properly on her words. Then she added, "love." Isla gritted her teeth in annoyance. But her anger was the least important thing to worry about at the moment. "How do you know about Trevor and I?" She asked, then stopped herself again from asking the further questions that might get her in trouble. "I mean, how... Why are you the one here and not Nathan?" "Well, for a start, I'd like
Isla puzzled on the thought long long enough, wondering what Tori had said earlier. She was at the door waiting anxiously. There was a lot on her mind, but it was in that moment that she realized that Nathan might had been even more important to her than Trevor's promise. Sure she wanted to fulfill his plans badly because of what she was going to gain, but she was starting to doubt whether any of what she was going to have to go true was worth it. If it was worth Nathan's hatred for her. It was too late now because she had a long day debating whether to go and visit or not.Just one knock and it would be all. She waited anxiously, her heart pounding inside her chest. When she thought she had stayed outside long enough, she decided it might be best that she just walk away but the door clicked open, and she saw him standing there just staring at her with a kind of disdain. Of course she couldn't tell whether it was a look or disdain or not, but he didn't look too excited to see her. "
"I threatened her Nathan, because she isn't who she claims she is." Tori said, and Isla froze.Immediately, she jumped forward wishing to make everything stop. "Please, let me explain it myself. Please! Nathan. Let us talk. I need you to understand that--" Before she could end her statement, Tori ended it for her. "Isla is working for Trevor." Tori spilled and for a spilt second, Isla forgot how to breath. "I mean, I tried, I really only tried to say my doubts out loud, and she fell for it. It's crazy actually, but she fell for it. And it turned out that my claims were actually true. She's a spy sent by Trevor to watch us all, to study us and then she goes back to narrate all of what is happening in our midst. I knew we shouldn't have trusted her." immediately she finished talking, Isla didn't know how or why, but the tears just kept rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. She didn't want the cat out of the bag in that manner. Nathan couldn't bear to listen to another word and so h
The second day, they each agree Nathan should visit Parker Ryan. Isla had decided to cooperate with them, and that had been a really smart and kind thing to do because it was sure going to assist them on their journey. Risky journey. Isla had explained a few things to Nathan. That day was on a Friday, and Parker Ryan always led an assembly with the rest of his community members, but he tagged it a VIP assembly, so not just any member was allowed. The meeting was to be held at a grand hall in Ettavile, and it was strictly by invitation only. Ever since Nathan settled the differences between Isla and her father, they had been trying to get along just fine. And for that reason, Parker Ryan had given her an invitation. It was a special one that was completely unique compared to the other, just so he would be able to brag about his daughter being present, and separate her from the crowd. The meeting was held once monthly, and at that moment, Parker Ryan was faced with a problem, as Isla
Parker Ryan was standing opposite to him, suspicious eyes staring at him. He wondered why he was there at his event, but what baffled him more than why was a matter of how. Nathan Anakin right in his domain, and for what reason? He waited patiently for him to gain consciousness and full recovery before asking again what he was doing there. Nathan paused, trying to understand why he had passed out. He remembered his plan of he was supposed to get a private conversation with Parker Ryan. Then he searched his environment and observe that he was in a different space entirely. Perhaps it were Parker Ryan's personal space, and that was a good thing. The room was vast with a billing interior setting neatly arranged just for the purpose of attraction. He was seated on a wide arm chair, Parker Ryan opposite him. What was he going to say? Either way, whenever he planned on what to do or say, he ended up doing the opposite anyway. He cleared his throat. "Good day to you, Parker Ryan," The o
A while later and Isla was inside and regretting her actions already. She knew that they were supposed to have been nice to her already, and yet it was just Tori that was with her, and was nice to her. Doris on the other hand, she was still quite angry at her for some reason. She said nothing to her all through her stay, and that nearly bothered Isla. But thanks to Tori, she was less cold.She spoke to her and made her less uncomfortable. Then the call came through. ****Isla didn't know what to do, but she was certain of one thing. Her father would never make any foolish decision at the moment. His secret was on the line and the only safe thing Nathan could do was to wait. At least for a few while, until they arrived there. They had already jumped into the back of a taxi, and suddenly, Doris wished the car would fly. Isla dialed his number again, "hi Nathan!" She called out, her voice nearly deafening. "There is something you can do. Call him!"When she advised, the ladies in the
