2024-10-29 19:42:56Once done with the Voice Mail Isabella was about to leave when she heard the front door being shut and she predicted it to be the landlord. Not wanting to be alone with whoever had arrived she decided to rush out.
She barely knew this place. And maybe the fear of being in a foreign place was finally getting to her because she felt her nerves antsy.
She walked out towards the hallway to tell the landlord that she had kept the money and now she was leaving but when she reached the hallway there was no one.
She felt chills run all through out her arm when her Side vision made her see a black silhouette.
Unfortunately before Isabella could make a move to run or to scream A cloth went right at her nose.
She started struggling against the man but he was a very strong she stopped her breath just so the chloroform wouldn't work but she couldn't hold it more than a minute or so before she ended up breathing in the chloroform and fainting right in his arms.
Jaden certainly didn't like this. He didn't like kidnapping women even if it was for their own good. But it wasn't like he was given many options in this scenario. the boss had given clear instructions to get the girls And there was no way in hell he could kidnap 20 girls all together and keeping them conscious.
This part of town was really filled with what innocent people defined as bad people but taking 20 girls was no easy task so he had made sure to drug each one of them separately and place them in the vehicle.
This girl was supposed to be the last girl so he quickly threw her on his shoulder and rushed inside the vehicle.
It was no trouble since every single person in this part of the town as well as the entire city knew who he worked for. The name itself scared people to a point where they would hold their breath so there was no way anyone was going to stop him even if they saw what he was doing.
Driving all the girls from the apartment he drove back to the mansion. This was the family mansion where the entire mafia lived together.
Just when he reached the mansion Others swarmed through the door to help him carry all the girls inside. After placing all of them in the room they locked the room from outside and went back to other work that their boss had assigned them.
Walking inside the kitchen he grabbed himself a glass of cold water and had just taken a few sips but before the water could even slide down his throat somebody called.
"Jaden" the voice said.
"screw you James! Can I have A glass of water peacefully without you annoying me" Jaden cursed.
"Well I don't particularly like your face either Jaden but then the boss had asked for you and if you don't walk inside in his cabin in next three minutes you will probably not have your legs" James replied.
"Okay" Jaden replied as he choked on his water before rushing towards the boss office.
Jaden and James were good friends but this was the usual way of acknowledging each other.
"You bought them all right?" James asked Jaden before he stormed out of the kitchen.
"Of course I did" Jaden replied annoyed as he sprinted.
Jaden knocked nervously on the door. There was something About the aura that this boss carried which scared not only him but everyone else still no bounds.
"Come in" He heard the boss command.
"You asked for me Sir?" Jaden asked.
"Yes! are all the girls here?" He asked.
"Yes sir all the girls Have been transported here although they are still under the influence of chloroform but they will be waking up any moment" Jaden informed.
"They are placed in the same room I have asked them to be placed in" He asked.
"Yes boss"
"Okay you may leave. Line them all up I will be meeting them in a few moments" he commanded.
Marco watched Jaden leave before switching on the camera to make sure that all the girls were indeed in the room. It was not like Jaden had and history of making errors but he did not have the history to be trusted blindly either.
He saw many of the girls cluster in the room as his men ordered them to stand up. he decided it was finally time to go and meet them.

Isabella woke up with the pounding feeling in her head. It took her a couple of minutes before she could finally open her eyes and when she did, bright sun rays hit her in the face so hard that she had to cover her eyes with her palm for a few minutes before she could see.she could finally hear all the voice shouting and someone roughly tucked her by her Arm making her stand-up."Get up! The boss will be here any moment""Leave me! let me go! what the hell are you doing with me?" She shouted but paused when she realised that her was the only voice audible in the room.Rest every other girl was complying stupidly to what ever the men were saying. After her forceful and loud shout it made all the men and the other girls in the room freeze and look at her in shock.Like it's my fault that you are used to being kidnapped. Isabella mocked them all mentally."Shut up and stand straight" the tall lanky guy told her."Like the hell I would"

Marco commanded."No I'm not!" Isabella replied As Alex's face morphed into shock but Marco smirked at her.That smirk reminded her so much of dexter."What" Alex shouted."Are you deaf or anything? I am not following him anywhere! I am not following anyone anywhere for that matter. I have no clue why all these girls are following your commands and agreeing to the point that you own them but you do not own me. I am done behaving like a slave" She answered in a strong voice even though she was shaking from within."The audacity" Alex shouted before ready to charge at her."You can leave Alex"

He finally stopped at the bedroom Throwing her on the bed."LET ME GO" she shouted half scared as the man dragged and shoved her on a bed, she presumed.Obviously she presumed, she had a blindfold on from the moment she was shoved on his shoulder."The sooner you stop fighting the better for you" he replied in a calm voice. His voice did something to her. She held her tongue for a minute, not because she was going to stop fighting HELL NO! But because of what his voice reminded her of!His touch wasn't foreign neither his voice. WEIRD!"Didn't think that would work" he chuckled."IT DIDN'T you idiotic pig" she shouted struggling as he laughed."Glad you are finding my misery funny" she growled."No wonder Alex wanted to feed you off to his Piranhas" he laughed.Her entire body stilled at the thought. They wanted to kill her? but she couldn't hold her tongue now could she?"Then what am I still doing here?" She sas

"Who are you?" the girl suddenly turned around with her green eyes narrowed at her ended knife pointing in her direction.Isabella froze at her place.She wasn't sure if it was the knife that scared her or the girls beauty."I ..

She looked confused."Anyways I am Lindsay" She said raising her hand up for Shake before she realised that she was still holding the knife that was now pointed towards Isabella and Isabella took a few couple steps back so Lindsay laughed at her before keeping the knife on the counter and then pulling her in for a hug.All the while the only thing that Isabella's head could comprehend what is the fact that Lindsay had called Marco MARCO."You call him that?" Isabella asked.Isabella wondered if this girl right here was maybe Marco's girlfriend or his wife because she was the only one in the penthouse except for Marco and she was c

isabella held her breath for few moments and lindsay didnt say anything either. everything made better sense to isabella now, she was kidnapped accidently so if she tells this to marco that she isnt amanda, he might let her go.But there was a more pressing thought in her head as she asked."so do all mafia leaders provide their girlfriends with so much information about their businesses or is your boyfriend way to liberal to believe that as his girlfriend you deserve to know it all"it surely didnt sound offensive to lindsay but all those who knew isabella, would know that she was purposely being rude and offensive.lindsay just chuckled in reply for a few moments and that infuriated isabella even more. so she was his girlfriend."Well I wouldn't know now would I?"

"There has been a big ass mistake here Mr McCoy" she started Before her mind retorted that this was the worst way of starting this Conversation but it was too late."I am listening Miss Parker" he replied."Okay Mr McCoy so the girl you were intended to kidnap and save from prostitution was not me but my friend Amanda who lived in that apartment but due to some emergency she had to leave and I was just doing her a favor by dropping of her rent in her apartment. Lindsey told me how you kidnapped or bought all those girls in just to give them shelter and a life and I am truly touched by what you have done for those girls but I do not need you to do it for me. I already have a life, family and friends and a boyfriend waiting for me. so I think since we have cleared this doubt here that I am not in the need of being saved or Given a livelihood.

"Good girl! Say that when I murder you in your sleep in one of the forthcoming nights" She growled.That was the last thing she had uttered to Marco to which he replied with a hearty chuckle and left.Later Lindsay found her and showed her the room she was to reside in, which was exactly adjacent to Marcos.If only Isabella was not kidnapped and kept here against her will, she would have totally enjoyed staying in a place like that. The room was probably five times bigger than her room back home.It had a cream color theme along with a sofa and bed and table. It actually looked like an guestroom. The room had an adjacent window which was as huge as a door and from the view outside it was beautiful.The bathroom looked more expensive than her entire house. The wardrobe was so huge that she could put all her clothes in it and it would still barely cover 1/4 of the entire wardrobe.The jacuzzi looked like the God himself had prepared it for one

I watched as the stars twinkled on the bright night. Alone standing there made me realise how much significant change had been there in my life in last two years. Life never got easy did it? Two years ago I was telling Dexter that we will get through everything and anything After almost believing that he was dead. And as I stood here all alone looking at the stars from this cliff and the water beneath this height I couldn't help but wonder about him. Everything was hopeless when we found each other there was no clue how we were going to get through it. Marco hadn't woken up in three years and there was no guarantee that he ever will And yet we were still clinging to the full little hope that someday he might and then the two of us could I have forever for ourselves. For ever was the most forbidden concept for humans. Humans at the end of the day as we are, are mortal and perishable. It took me back to memory of a seminar that I attended once, there we talked about humans mortality

" you already know about Marco and Maria and how the two of them were having a child. maria wanted Marco to leave the mafia but that wasn't really possible so instead he took her on a vacation to enjoy the news but something went horribly wrong and the wrong people got the clue that the two of them were spending their time on the island. so he was attacked, the attackers killed Maria and almost killed Marco until he went to coma. and that was the day before Thanksgiving, it was my father calling me ...commanding me to come back because the mafia was my responsibility now. obviously I did not want to go back but that does not change a thing because I was abducted back into the world but then they didn't want the news to go round that Marco was in coma, so I was made to look like Marco since we were pretty much identical and I was to manage mafia instead of him until he wakes up which he did not from last three years."

"You are right I have a lot of explaining to do but let's start with introducing you to my brother that is my older step- brother Marco McCoy"Isabella settled patiently at the couch ready for him to explain his story although she would have found it much better if Dexter just sat beside her but maybe he was not just ready to face her yet so he sat on the barstools just beside his brother's bed, looking at him with care and love as he started explaining the story. The only think Isabella couldn't understand was how could Dexter look at him the way he did when Marco and his mother had been nothing but brutal to him."Jacob McCoy! the asshole and unfortunately my father Had tricked Marcos mother into marrying him for a peace treaty that could gain him the power but you already know of that story by Robert.And if you were standing long enough outside that hospital door you would know that my supposed mother is drug addict, which meant that she was ready to s

"Isabella" he said in a shocked voice."You have a lot of explaining to do" she exclaimed folding her hand in a protective manner around her torso. It was maybe that action that made his eyes zero on her now injured and bandaged arm and in a second the worry was shining in his eyes."What happened to your hand?" He asked concerned."I'll be the one asking questions now" She growled before walking inside and dragging him outside the hospital with his hand in hers."Where are we going?" he asked once they were outside."I don't know" she said as she turned to look at him.It was like she was finally looking at him all over again. That face was the guy she had loved immensely, The only difference was his electric blue eyes and the beard covering his face.She tried to utter something, anything. She wanted to shout at him demanding answers about why he lied about his own death and claimed to have killed himself and yet the shock of everyt

Another month had passed and Isabella was better at keeping up with the classes right now because her parents were forced into the college one month ago when she did not go to talk to the professor herself. To say Her mother was disappointed would be an understatement, she was madly furious and threw all sorts of colourful words Isabella's way before her father had to drag her mother away but he did not leave before giving Isabella a disappointed look.Luckily Sante and Lucas did not know anything about this whole crisis but they did call her up later. Lucas was just worried about her health but Sante looked like she could almost relate to what ever Isabella was going through and told her older sister to be the big Great sister she always has been and not to think a lot about mom, dad or anyone or being a disappointment because right now the only priority was her mental health and not anything that made her feel like a failure.Isabella felt much better after talking w

"Kill them all" Marco commanded in the cold voice before taking the lift up to his penthouse.He could still feel faint smell of her lingering into the penthouse although it sounded insane since it had been three months since she left. But maybe Marco was actually going insane after losing her.Marco knew that he could have just told her the truth, removed the blue contacts and everything would be as clear as crystal And yet only he knew that he could not. There was a reason why he was Marco now and that was deadly enough not to just overthrow him and his entire non-existent family but all the mafia syndicates in the world.The only way to keep everything under control was him being Marco. He couldn't even explain it in words the feeling he feels it is hard when she confessed that she had indeed loved him all those years and that she still did, But he also knew that she loved Dexter and he was no longer Dexter, he was Marco and there was no getting away from it.

Isabella sat quietly in the classroom looking outside the window."Miss Parker" A loud and stern voice made her stop her gazing towards the trees."Yes sir?" She answered mechanically."You may leave the class since you are so much more interested into what's going on outside." He answered annoyed.Isabella quietly picked up her bag and started walking out of the class unconcerned."I would like to have a talk with you after the class Miss Parker" The professor murmured before she left.It had been three months since she was kidnapped. Isabella found herself walking towards her dorm room unwilling to have any communication with the professor.In truth she was unwilling to have any communication with anyone except for two people. Unfortunately one of them was dead and another one had killed the first one.Just like Isabella had wanted Marco did not try to communicate with her even once after she left.

But there was only one thing Isabella could think of Dexter was dead and Marco was his bitter murderer stepbrother."Tell me he's lying! Tell me you didn't kill Maria.

She accused and something shifted in his eyes.She forcefully picked herself up from the ground as she caught his collar again shaking him furiously."You knew me all along. you knew all of this. you had been keeping an eye on Dexter and that is how... you knew me. that is how you knew everything.

Marco snarled. Isabella look at him concerned he was overpowered the man in front of him was pointing freaking gun at him and he still has the courage to throw a threat on his face."You have no manners whatsoever how to talk in front of such a beautiful lady do you?" He asked creepily and Isabella wished she could sank into the bed."Stop looking at her or I'll gorge your eyes out and feed them to My Sharks" Marco threatened."You sure possessive of this little one here, though I must say she is not half as beautiful as your last one. You remember her don't You Marco? Her belly swelled with your child such a happy day it was, until you broke into a fit of rage, What do you think is going to happen to this one here?" Robert asked.
