"Is this the date of surprises?" " I guess you can say that" She glance over her shoulder and frown. " Hi, Baby brother, I'll pretend you didn't see me get in"Xander nod at her and absentmindedly walk away. " What..." "He's pretty upset"Isabelle said burying her look of concern. "I know,I messed up, I'm sorry,blame my hormones though, I've been going through a lot" " I'm sorry I wasn't there with you" Isabelle mutter dryly,Sasha frown and trot over to the couch. "You're still upset,I can sense that" " I am not Sasha, I'm just too sad" "Why?"Sasha lift a questioning brow. "Why? we're somehow peaceful now, I know he's upset but not at you" "Oh I wish that was true"Sasha drag Isabelle to sit beside her and study her properly. "Trip is dead,wait...is there someone else,OMG,I kinda envisioned no easy life but not this way" "I'm pregnant"Sasha mouth fell open like a
"Bodgan" Isabelle mumble back in the kitchen,she remove a knife from it's binder and slice tomatoes with it. "I'm not dumb" "Is that why you're calling?" "Where's dad?" "Didn't Aukey tell you?" "Who's the suspect?" Bodgan quieten up. "I'm in danger again,aren't I?" "It's not you Isabelle, it's the Mack, Emeryk isn't after the Augustyn but the Mack,he was never after us" "What?what about Triplicate?the threats,the will... he's after the real will" "A distraction Issy,it was all to get to us, it's a game to distract us" "Why?" "Poca was born" Isabelle grip on the tomatoes tighten. "The mistress didn't commit suicide,She was murdered after the baby was born" "Then that means... there's someone else like they claimed, Emeryk lover's only son is alive,who is he?" "I don't know but he's here Isabelle,amongst us" "Issy" The knife sliced through her s
"What?" Isabelle snap. "He saved my life,did you think I got out of Emeryk lair because I'm so strong,no...he saved us all,he was the only one willing to risk his life,he lost a lot,his family and friends for us all" "I doubt that,I couldn't get a thing about his family" "What???" "A car is following us" Isabelle glance at the rearview mirror. "The lemon color Old sedan" "Do you know who they are?" Xander shook his head swerving the car to the other lane by the Y shaped roadside. "They are go... Hell" Isabelle cussed sighting the car again. "They are still following us" "Calm down,it could be nothing,this is the only road to The Mack security from here" Isabelle rub her palm,irritated at how slow Xander is driving,shocked by his questions and angry at the car following them. "Xander" "Yes" "I decided to keep the baby and it's not because of Bron because whether I give him a nickname or
Jamie share a confused look with Bodgan "What is she..." "What happened here?" Sasha cut in,Katy gloat at Bodgan from the corner of her eyes,they were both fuming. "Jamie, where's Isabelle?" "I...I am sorry" "About what?I called you minutes ago what did you say then?You and that...that Micah,the both of you lied to my face" "They were the victims right?" Katy slam her question towards Jamie,Sasha blow out air from her mouth and stumbled. "The accident..." "It happened an hour ago,Xander condition seemed worse that he'd to be transferred out of here,I know you....I understand how you must feel but accusing anyone in this..."Greta spoke up, hugging the shivering Jamie. "Who are you?Are you the Augustyn?" "Sasha"Bodgan snap. "Behave,For goodness sake we're all in shock here,relax, Isabelle is fine just unconscious for now" Sasha slump to the ground wailing,Maja wipe her fallen tears an
"Indeed,Emeryk I want Poca" Isabelle chuckle to herself when Emeryk stood up shaking with rage. "Poca, Poca is long dead" "The safe,the position,my father and the will...all yours,I want Poca in return" " Isabelle"He pull out his gun, Isabelle rise to her feet and take her bag. "Goodbye Emer,by the way it would be better to start saving your energy,you look old"Isabelle sneer and stride out,she heard repeated gunshots in flying in the air and didn't turn to look at her crazy uncle,Isabelle sigh as she sit at the backseat of her car. "Jakub" "He took my car home" Isabelle flutter one eye open. "You've been avoiding me" Aukey said and turn to face her. "I'll drive,get out" "You're giving your father to that guy for someone you aren't even sure exist"Isabelle pull her pistol from her bag and click it. "Out" "I made a deal with someone..." "Get out of m
"...and saw the trucks and the car,same color as mine then, lemon old sedan...I knew something is wrong with the both of you" "He..."Isabelle brush her tears angrily away. "The police told me Xander received a call,do you know who it was?" "Me,I was the one who called,someone told me there was a murder and it's connected to the Mack securities and that he has called Xander but isn't picking and...he should head to the Area B station to confirm because it might be another case of Triplicate" Isabelle had a sickening feeling as Sasha explains. "I called my brother that morning and explained,then we all went to the hospital,he was gonna drop by the Station to confirm but there was a call from home about William panic attack and I'd to go to check up on things that was why I left early with the car and Xander decided to take you to the Mack securities and still drop by the Station" "Sasha,who called you that morning?" Sasha lift her head up. "Who?"
The room Xander was being treated in was spacious,set like a real ward in a hospital with hospital facilities,there were frames and portraits to elevate the room from the caliginous atmosphere but the machines couldn't be hidden. Isabelle wipe her tears inspecting his figure on the bed,she amble towards him slowly but she felt weak and fell on her knees by the bed sobbing bitterly,his hair was shaved and his head wrapped in bandages though he was breathing well without any need of oxygen there was still one on him. It's the first time she has seen him since the accident took place,he was taken out of the country due to how serious his injuries were and was brought back today,it was hard not to travel over to the States but she had to wait,she had some scores to settle. "Some of his wounds are healing" Grandma Lisa kneel beside Isabelle. "Our Xander is going to come out of it just fine" She hug Isabelle and strangely Isabelle felt more hugs.
"Shit, I'll be there as soon as I can,I promise"She drop the call and sigh,they were back in the States, Xander still slowly recovering and rarely improving,her mind trailed to when he moved for the first time,she was so happy,they got a reaction out of him but after that even Aukey jealousy talk didn't move him,The doctors said nothing is wrong and he's been just a patient but it irked her,Four and half month without him isn't a joke. "What ya thinking about?" Isabelle crane her head with a gleam as Aukey walks in,she still can't get used to the fact that there are two faces... different people. "Nothing much, Jamie called, Sasha is in labor and nothing looks promising,she said I've to come but I don't...Xander is still here you know" "I got the news too, I'll take care of him on your behalf, I'll try harder to break into his shell like, threaten to get you pregnant"Isabelle chuckle. " You know it's nice to see you smile, pregnant women
Please there's an error this is supposed to come before IT WAS OVER CHAPTER. "Enough you two"Xander said trying to control his laughter,while Isabelle giggle. "My baby is gonna be for you both,same attention" "Are you sure?"Isabelle jeered. "Sasha and Katy already adopted our baby" "No way"Dagmara almost yell, Isabelle burst into another fit of giggles,she stopped and frown, her gaze on James Sean running after her sister.--------- Jamie clutch the gun in her purse and hurriedly amble away from the hall,she could hear the whispers and hard footsteps approaching...they weren't one but more. "Hello" Jamie scream and bark centimeters away from James,he smirk and look at her gold purse. "Why are you running away from me?" "Don't you know?" "I don't"Jamie lips curl into a smile,she roll her eyes and made a move to walk out but James step in front of her and in a flash she'd her gun pressed to his stomach,J
~~EPILOGUE~~ A little boy ran towards the bridge that was across the Mack's mansion,His giggles deepen as another hand swooped him from the ground. "This place is dangerous little guy" "I told Grandma I could"Xavier said wrapping his arms around Isabelle neck. "It wasn't dangerous" The five year old boy concluded. "Really?,You fell yesterday" Isabelle drop him on a rainbow mat that'd been made by her, they both sat at the backyard of the Mack's mansion enjoying their little vacation there. "That doesn't matter momma"Xavier grab a cheese in one of the plates. "I'm fine now, You should go meet the girls" "I can smell jealousy"Isabelle tickle her son, the replica of her love, a replica of Xander, the boy laugh. "Hey, Xavier, I love you and your sister's the same way" "Grandma adores the girls"Xavier pouts. "They're months old Xavier, Come here"Xavier lean on h
"Who killed mom?"Isabelle flinch and she could see fear in Emeryk eyes but just for a moment. "Who killed my mother?"He repeated."Did Sasha hit my mom unknowingly or she was made to?A girl who's terrified wouldn't notice a sudden bump, a push from the back of her car and she honestly wouldn't notice the car until she hit it" "Who told you?that betrayal?" "Betrayal?, That's what men who worked for you for almost all their lives,leaving theirs for yours, that's what they're called when they're found with the enemies,Dave didn't,I did... Myself"Poca grin in self appraisal. "Why her?,I couldn't attend school Dad because I was scared,I was scared of those who'd a mom,why?" "Did you think I married her because she fell in love with me?Drugs, Rape,Force,aren't illegal companies.I loved her,I did but what did that woman do? immediately I gave her just a tiny space of freedom she went all out" "Is that why you kille

We're alive honey, I'm here,you are too,I can tell you my plans, everything and I'm grateful for that,you and the baby are the strongest person I know of...you two have escaped death multiple times, I'm proud of you Isa so whatever you're thinking about just ditch it, I've thought about it all,Emeryk is like an obsession to me but I can't risk your life and trust me when I say this you're the target" "Daddy,that is why I...." "Don't do anything"Adam cut in,he stroke Isabelle long and curly hair. "This wedding isn't for Emeryk to infiltrate, it's yours,you,your baby and your husband...enjoy it peacefully"Isabelle force a nod and a weak smile,Adam kiss her hair fondly. "I love you" "I love you too Dad but I'm sure Mom must be fuming by now" Adam chuckle."Yes, I've taken too long" He peck her cheeks on one tim
"Exactly,Emeryk mother Nora dziedzic was the reason your grandfather Mr Peter Albercik Augustyn didn't include Emeryk in the will and only Emeryk children" "Why?, Why would she cause that? That was her only son" "For Peter, she has two sons who unfortunately met with an accident three years ago" "Okay, Tell me the reason Maja, Why did grandfather change his will? " "Clare was murdered by one of Nora's men, obviously she denied it and convinced everyone that it was an accident which everyone believed until the day Bercik, the man was hanged, I think before the hanging he confessed and told the truth" "Which led to the family ruination, Albercik supposedly killed Nora?" "Supposedly? " "That's what your old butcher claims, he didn't believe your grandfather would kill his own wife and do remember she died only six years after she was brought home and a year after Cla

Poca smile. "I have Adam Augustyn, he's powerful than my dad"Dave roll his eyes. "Uncle,can you help me with this Ghutra?" "Where did you get that robe?"

Micah brought out his pass and sigh in relief when they let him in, this place was nothing like Triplicate place,The place is way more bigger and enthralling,He heard that there was going to be a lot of Authoritative figure, a lot of government officials and a lot of affluent personalities and it wasn't wrong, there were thousands of cars and numerous of great personalities. He was the first person to enter the hall so he would be able to study the place and send the details to the others, the plan was simple but there were a lot of risk involved, Aukey was a police officer which is making it more dangerous. The guards welcomed him in, there were a lot of guest Micah couldn't help but squint, the hall was decorated on red and ocean blue with a pint of gold and black,They directed Micah to the VIP room and it didn't take long for him to reach there, sit and carry out his own phase of the plan. Xander lean on the chair as the car drove, he remem
