Chapter 16 Deceived Too

Watching Izzabelle’s car speeding away from the mansion, Linda grabbed her phone then called the mysterious man hurriedly who had threatened her earlier to report her already completed task.

“She’s maybe on her way now, please spare my daughter. Please... Please... I beg you...” 

The desperate nanny pleaded repeatedly while crying her eyes out. 

“You did a very good job! You... Wait until she arrived here! Then I'll keep my words!”

The man on the other end of the line answered coldly and just hanged up on Linda directly not even giving a damn about her desperate cries and pleads. His voice devoid of any emotions as he muttered to himself. 

"Snake!" 

Linda couldn’t help but shiver at hearing the man's cold and chilly voice. Her guilty conscience mocked her insides so much that she cried her eyes out.

How could she chose to deceived Izzabelle into going there? She knows that the latter trusted her so much but if it's not for her daughter, she would never agree to follow their whims. Now all she could do was to pray that her daughter and Izzabelle will be safe no matter what happens.

Well, she was not even aware of  Izzabelle's little play. The young lady was aware of her facial expressions entirely. She knows exactly that there's something wrong with her nanny's behaviour, but she still compromised to follow on her whims and let the latter thought that she had successfully deceived her. She wants to test her nanny's loyalty. And right there and then, her nanny Linda failed miserably.

Meanwhile...

Izzabelle glanced quickly at her rear view mirror and noticed that there was a certain car following and tailing behind her since she reached a hundred meters away from their mansion. She was wondering if who could it be and decided to let it be. She just continued driving coolly pretending that she was just like she was strolling and roaming around. The person driving might be the one who talked to her nanny Linda.

When she thought of her nanny, she was furious as she hated deceptions to death!

She was a little upset with her nanny Linda's behaviour. She knows her too well, her loyalty is not that easy to sway.

'Maybe she had a good reason for deceiving me.' She muttered silently to her heart.

A person sometimes does something wrong even if it was against their own will for the sake of their loved ones. 

Izzabelle squinted her hazel fiery eyes then a thought suddenly flashed into her mind. She finally concluded that maybe she's threatened ir something.

That must be it! She's been serving them since she and Inzo was a little kid until now. Today was an exceptional wrong one. No matter what it is she was determined to discover her nanny Linda's cause of fear.

She continued driving towards the address that was handed to her a moment ago. The location seems really a bit far from the city, she was also an excellent race car driver so it was a piece of cake for her to reach on her destination. But she restrained herself and didn't show it in her appearance. She just acted casually like a simple weak woman.

That would make her enemy's confidence rise up completely which is totally their weakness. They would caught off guard in the end if she took action quickly just in a flash. A weird smile flashed across her beautiful face knowing that she would face exciting adventure again for a few minutes.

Nearly on her designated location, she peeked at her rear view mirror to check if the car that was behind her still following her. And she was glad that it was now gone. In her case, she would have less difficulties in speeding up to reach her destination. 

So, she decided to use her racing skills to arrive faster.

She stepped a little harder onto her gas pedal to accelerate her speed. Bunch of trees could be seen on her way. The commercial buildings weren't too high as the town wasn't fully developed into a commercial area. And so on and so fort.

In just a couple of minutes she stepped onto her foot brakes and her car immediately halted into an urgent stop.

Opening the car door she stepped out gracefully and roamed her hazel fiery eyes around vigilantly. She walked towards the building leisurely and entered the lobby. She keeps her fighting instincts guard up. She was determined that she can't be careless in this simple kind of task.

She walked directly at the front desk to inquire the authenticity of the address. The female receptionist in her early thirties called out the unit owner to confirm her visit and the  latter quickly hanged up. She smiled sweetly at Izzabelle and gestured her to go upstairs.

Izzabelle nodded her head then she headed leisurely at the elevator and pressed the 20th floor. Leaning against the cold elevator walls, she closed her eyes to relax her nerves.

Ding!

When the elevator finally stopped at the appointed floor she opened her eyes again and straightened herself in a dignified manner. She then made an immediate exit and went ahead to the door number 15.

She hesitated for a moment as she stood across the wooden door but after contemplating for a few seconds she finally gathered up her courage to press the door bell.

She waited for about 5 minutes but still nobody opened the door for her. She was beginning to feel a little restless.

She had thought to herself, 'if the owner won't open the door in 10 minutes, I would break this damn door! How could he let me wait here for another few minutes?'

But her thoughts were interrupted when the door swung open and revealed a hot and sexy handsome man. His both muscular arms had a print of a mysterious tattoo. He was wearing a khaki shorts with a white body-fitted tee that perfectly suits him well. His body built was worth drooling over.

And Izzabelle was no exception. She actually admired the man's impressive yet simple choice of clothes. 

Seeing the man whom opened the door, Izzabelle was dumbstruck and her mind went blank. She was shocked.. What the heck?
