"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
