Chapter 3_ Investigations

"Alex, why are you defending this woman? She just slapped your nephew" Mrs Hunt tried to explain. She was stunned by Alex's reaction when he came in.

"Adams had done more worse to her so I do not blame Isabella for it" Alex declared.

Mrs Hunt was stunned. She looked at Isabella who was still trying to regain herself. "What has this vixen given to you? Do not be carried away by her charms, she is a despicable woman and a slut"

"Florence, isn't that so much insults for just a woman? Remember, she was once your son's fiance. If anyone walks inside to hear this, they would think that the Hunt's harbors sluts in their mansion" Alex warned.

"I warn you, brother. You have to be careful around women like Bella "

"That's enough! I won't stand here and watch y'all insult me. I swear, you will pay for this, Adams " Bella finally declared and left the bedroom.

She rushed downstairs, Bella didn't realize that she was being followed by Alexander Hunt until she reached the staircase and got grabbed by him.

Isabella screamed out loud. "Let go of me! Let me go, Mr Hunt" she yelled, kicking him.

Alexander ignored her… he carried her all the way outside until they arrived at his car. He put her inside her car gently, despite her disapproval.

When Isabella tried to come out, the windows were locked and she was trapped inside the black SUV with the infamous billionaire, Alexander Hunt.

"What do you want from me?" She asked him In a harsh tone?

Alex gave her a few minutes to be calm before he decided to reply to her.

"You should learn how to listen more, Isa.." he grinned.

"Stay away from me you coward. And let me go!"

"I can't!" Alex yelled at her. Isabella felt scolded by him so she kept shut.

"I own you now, Isabella… You do not have a say in this. Unless you can return my money to me?" He leaned closer as he asked.

"How much is your money, Mr Hunt?"

"$50 million… That's the price I had to pay to have you as mine, Isabella. When are you going to pay me?"

Isabella hasn't recovered from the shock of being sold, now, she was astounded by the amount. It was a huge amount of money but isn't worthy of her being sold at that amount.

She was so disappointed, she couldn't believe that Adams would ever do this to her. Isabella had been in love with him for ages, she had also imagined her life with him, a huge mansion in Brazil, two kids and a successful business.

How could he do this to her and shatter her dream? Isabella couldn't control the tears that poured down her eyes.

If there was something that Alex hated was to see a woman cry. He extended his hands and a napkin was handed to him by Carlos who had already taken the front seat.

"Here" he gave the napkin to Isabella and she took it.

Carlos drove them off to Alex's Villa which was miles away from the Hunt family's Villa. When they arrived there, Isabella didn't want to emerge from the car, she refused to come out even when he ordered her to.

"Isa.." Alex grinned.

"I'm going nowhere with you, stay away from me!" She struggled with him as he leaned and forcefully carried her out of the car.

He placed her on his shoulders and took her inside the mansion with him.

"Boss…" Carlos tried to intervene.

"Let it be.. I will bring her inside myself" Alex declared

Isabella fought and struggled with Alex until they got into the mansion and upstairs. When they arrived inside the bedroom, he threw her onto the huge bed.

Isabella was obstinate, she forced herself to get up and tried to run. Alex was fast enough to stop her. He grabbed her tightly in his arms.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked her, and she didn't respond. Isabella was just too angry at him.

A lot had happened to her in just twenty-four hours. She wanted to clear her head, she didn't want to be in the midst of Adams or his uncle. She needed a break and rest from them.

Isabella glared at him sternly, she tried to get off his grip but it tightened..

She felt so uncomfortable. She managed to release her hands and attempted to slap him.

Alex caught her hand halfway through the air with his tight grip almost crushing her wrist, Isabella cried.

"It hurts… let go of me!"

Alex ignored her words. He pulled her even closer and held her tighter. "Still so , huh?" He scoffed.

"You're an animal, Alexander Hunt." She cursed at him sharply.

Alex didn't care, he just couldn't let go of this woman who seemed as if she would kill herself at any moment

Her face turned pale and she grew weak from struggling for so long. Isabella tried using force but she ended up getting her dress torn.

Alex glared lustfully at her exposed shoulder and bare skin. He couldn't deny the fact that he didn't get enough of her last night. Matter of fact, he wanted her even at that moment.

Isabella was finally let go by Alex and she fell on the hard floor. She looked up, glaring at his face with so much anger written on hers.

"I will make you pay for this…" she threatened.

Alex couldn't calm the angry woman and nothing he'd say would. So he just left the bedroom for her.

Isabella followed him instantly. But, before she could get to the door, he already left and Locked it from outside.

Isabella banged her fist hard on the door. "let me go.. Open this door you coward" she continued to curse him as she kept banging her fist on the door.

With time, she gave up and Isabella took her seat on the floor with her back leaning against the door. Her eyes were filled with tears which poured down uncontrollably.

"Adams Hunt, I will make you pay for this, I swear" she vowed..

Alex on the other hand just left the hallway after staying for a while. He listened to her vows of going against Adams.

It was their business but he felt like it concerned him too since Isabella was now his woman. He had to stand in for her and defend her. But how is he going to do that when he already gave Adams the deal he wanted?

If he takes it back from him it would break him, at least he would be able to get revenge for Isabella in his own way. Alex was filled with so many thoughts on what to do for Isa.

She was so displeased and disappointed at him. She thought he took advantage of her but he didn't. Soon, a knock was heard on the door and he allowed Carlos to come in.

"Mr Hunt, I've got the toxin Texas results " Carlos announced to him.

Alex took the files from him and checked. As expected, he and Isabella were both drugged with the same aphrodisiac and Isabella has taken the most amount of it.

If he didn't get intimate with her last night, she might have lost it. It was only fair that he slept with her to relieve her and himself from the drugs.

But why would his nephew do something this cruel to a woman he claimed to love? Alex had come to the mansion a few times and whenever he did he'd hear Adams bragging about his fiance.

Sometimes when he comes he meets Adams on a phone call with Isabella. Alex was just so surprised that Adams would do such a thing just to get the money to help him get awarded with a contract.

Alex dropped the files on top of his working desk and he looked back on his monitor screen.

He has word to do but he'd better settle with Isabella first.

Alex stood up and went to check up on her. When he got to the front of the bedroom he realized that she had gone silent and didn't cry anymore. It's been almost twenty minutes so he expected it.

Alex went inside the room after unlocking it. A few steps away to the middle of the room, he met Isabella unconscious on the floor and he rushed towards her.

There were bloodstains on the floor, she had cut herself on the wrist with something sharp. Alex was frightened and worried at the same time about Isabella.
