Author's point of view... "Boss, don't worry, This time, We caught her." Mike was excited to let his boss know that the girl couldn't run away this time. Robert's eyes widened in shock. "You caught her?" he exclaimed in utter shock. "That woman who attacked me?" He recalled that mysterious woman who was the reason for everything that had happened, and then those words finally settled in his mind,a nd nd he nodded his head. "Good...Let everything out of her as soon as possible" Robert had a feeling that this wasn't just an accident but a plan to make him suffer. Robert stared at a distance thinking about who could be behind this, as he spoke. He wanted to know who could dare to send someone to his office despite the tight security. "I want those names, Mike", he gritted as he already guessed who that could be, "No matter what..." Mike nodded, his expression serious. "Yes boss, I will get everything out, as soon as possible." Mike said assuringly, "Unlike last time
Author's point of view... Izzy opened her eyes with great difficulty as someone harshly poured cold water on her face. Her body jerked involuntarily, and she gasped, disoriented and shivering. She felt her soaked clothes cling to her feverish skin, amplifying the chill that ran through her bones. Before she could gather her thoughts, rough laughter filled the room. Blinking rapidly, she struggled to focus on the scene before her. She found herself surrounded by several men, dressed in formal attires. They stood in front of her, their faces twisted with cruel amusement. The sight made her stomach churn, and fear gripped her heart. These were the special gang members of the notoriously known Black Panther gang who knew no boundaries for cruelty. When Izzy saw those men, double the size of hers, looming over her, she wanted to scream, to fight back, but her body felt like it was made of lead, her limbs refusing to obey her. Before Izzy could fully comprehend her situation, th
Author's point of view... After instructing his men, Mike walked out without even turning around. He was sure that Izzy would spit out everything, but to his surprise, there wasn't any kind of response from the girl. Mike stood outside the door anticipating that she would at least scream or protest, but he heard nothing but his men's monstrous laughter. She wasn't pretending dead...! Damn...! Frustrated, Mike hit the wall and called for Abraham. "Tell them to scrum," he commanded in his loud and terrifying voice for those men to leave Izzy alone as he understood that his plan to scare her had already failed as she had fainted. "Let a doctor check on her..." Mike added his facial expressions showing a mixture of frustration and concern. Abraham, though surprised, didn't say a word in response. Mike was known for being the heartless follower of Robert. All the men in their gang knew that Mike never changed his attitude towards any of the captives, though it may be a woman
Author's point of view... "You are a monster..." Izzy fumed in anger. "A monster...! Just stay away from me...!" Izzy pulled her hand away and slapped Robert hard. Robert was bewildered, though he didn't show that on his face. After all, she had a reason to vent her anger on him and he found himself to be the reason why she was here. He felt guilty towards her. The sound of that slap echoed in the entire hallway of the hospital. The guards on duty outside the door were all stunned. Did they just hear someone yelling at their big boss? Did she just slapped Mr. Erickson? Mike had just entered the room and witnessed the worst scene before him. Before he could react to stop Izzy, Izzy raised her little hand again and slapped Robert again. "How dare you...!" Mike lunged forward to grab her hand and drag her out of the bed, a murderous look in his eyes. It was a mere coincidence that he didn't have his gun or Izzy would have laid there lifeless. However, Robert stopped him by ra
Author's point of view... After two days of rest, Dan assisted with the discharge procedures while Robert himself escorted Izzy out of the hospital. Although Robert visited Izzy many times in these two days, Izzy never spoke to him after that last conversation, and he didn't talk as well. All he wanted to know about her condition was personally explained by Daniel or any of the other hospital employees on duty to him. The tension between them was palpable, a thick, suffocating cloud that neither of them could break through. The physical wounds might have started to heal, but the emotional scars were still fresh, raw, and festering. As they walked out of the hospital, Izzy tumbled on the road and before she could fall, Robert kept a protective hand on Izzy’s waist, scooping her up in his arms. "Be careful...!" he muttered, guiding her towards the waiting car. She looked up at him and their gaze met, but instead of feeling grateful, she gritted in frustration. She didn’t r
Author's point of view... Robert entered, his presence itself demanding dominance. Robert’s entrance into the hall was like a cold wind slicing through the heated room. Every eye turned to him, the air thick with tension and unspoken accusations. Izzy trailed behind him, her presence barely acknowledged by the hostile crowd that had gathered to strip Robert of his dignity and power. However, she felt a shiver run down her spine when she saw the malicious look on the faces of the crowd. John and Selina exchanged satisfied glances, their expressions smug as they realized that their scheme to undermine Robert was nearing its climax. They had been waiting for this day to come for years. The whispers of his supposed inability to touch a woman, to fulfill his duties as a man, had spread like wildfire in the entire family. They were certain that today, Robert would finally be brought to his knees. After all, their weaved plan had finally come to a satisfying success. The old lady,
Author's point of view... Holding Izzy close as if she were the most precious thing in the world, Robert stared at her beautiful eyes. The shock on Izzy’s face mirrored that of everyone else in the room. He locked both hands with one of his as he was sure she would resist and pinned her closer. And then, before she or anyone could react, Robert leaned down and pressed his lips to hers in a deep, possessive kiss. The gesture was both tender and commanding, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind about the nature of their relationship. The room erupted into chaos. Gasps of disbelief echoed off the walls as relatives shot to their feet, their expressions ranging from astonishment to fury. Evelyn’s eyes widened in shock, her icy facade momentarily cracking as she took in the sight of her grandson defying every expectation. John and Selina’s faces twisted in rage. This was not how things were supposed to go. They had been so sure that Robert’s weakness would be his undoing that the rumor
Author's point of view... Harvey called out for the guards and the uninvited guests inside the mansion understood that they were not welcome here. They stood up one by one and left the mansion after looking at Evelyn for one last time. It was embarrassing to be insulted by Robert but humiliation was the least they could think about. Evelyn's face turned pale and she still stared at the retreating figure of her grandson. Though she always wanted him to get married, she never imagined that he would marry a no body like Izzy. She stamped her feet on the floor as she muttered in anger. Selina had collected all the information about Izzy, though that wasn't all true. Actually, Selina and John couldn't dig anything out about Izzy and so they created a story of their own to infuriate the old lady. According to them, Izzy was born out of wedlock and was raised by her characterless mother, who worked as a bar dancer. Just the mere thought of Izzy staying by her grandson's side had inf
