2024-10-29 19:42:56Isabella 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" she whimpered against his hold.
"Let me go" she shouted struggling against the lanky guys hold and finally managed to kick him in the nuts and started to run in the opposite direction when the door opened and a handsome hunk stepped in.
"My My the audacity to try and run away" he commented.
Isabella backed away a bit before answering.
"Well what do you Expect someone to do when they end up looking at an ugly face like yours" Isabella countered but her remark may have actually hurt the guy because his face looked extremely aggressive at the moment and he looked ready to hit her.
"Well unless and until you want a couple of bullet in your head because you pissed my cousin of in your first meeting I suggest stop struggling and stand straight" he said squeezing her arm bruisingly and she finally complied because it was hurting so bad.
"Mr Alex! Mr McCoy had ordered to not hurt any girl in any form" The lanky guy mumbled in a small voice which made the Alex guy leave her with a few curse words uttered.
She quickly rushed and stood at a corner with all the girls as the door was opened widely. Watching all the girls she imitated them and looked downwards.
Suddenly the aura of the room was so dark that she felt suffocated and it felt even more weird because she knew that somebody was looking her and every other girl in the room up and she couldn't see it for herself. She waited for few moments hoping that somebody would look up but nobody did so against her better judgement she looked up herself and when her eyes finally collided with the gblue ones the breath was knocked out of her, She could feel the man freeze in his place as well before he finally composed his face.
Marco froze as he looked in her eyes Before finally composing himself. It has been years since he last saw her And he was pretty sure that Jaden had committed some mistake because she was surely not supposed to be here and surely not with these girls.
"Hello girls my name is Marco McCoy and as you already know from the day today and forward I own you And from Today you are a part of this family so I suggest you all to comply and follow where my men ask you to" Marco commanded as all of them stayed quiet.
Isabella's entire body was frozen from shock. Those eyes reminded her of someone she didn't want to think about but in the current Scenario that was the last thing she was to think about.
This man right here claimed the entire group of girls standing beside her and none of them protested which meant that she was missing a huge ass chunk of information that everybody else in the room was aware of.
By now she was pretty clear that this person in front of her was surely not a priest at the church, he was a mob boss. But what she didn't knew was why nobody was protesting. Was he is so powerful and influential that each and every girl beside her had lost the hope to gain back their freedom.
"Everybody follow" A guy commanded and all the girls started following him quietly. Isabella wanted to protest but she feared that that might highlight her into Marco's eyes and that's what is the last thing she wanted so she quickly tried to blend inside the crowd and rush out.
"Wait" Marco's voice commanded and everyone froze.
Isabella was mentally shouting at everyone to start moving but somewhere in the back of her mind she had this feeling that he was going to stop them or her to be more particular.
The last time she had felt this nervous around someone was about three years ago. The similarity in their surnames made her worry but she decided not to dwell upon it when she realised that there are millions of people on this earth and two people having the same surname didn't necessarily mean that they were related.
She didn't knew what exactly made her highlighted in this man's eyes but something did. Because she could feel his eyes on her from the very moment of their gaze collided and now she regretted her choice of looking up even more. She said all the prayers in her head hoping that he wouldn't stop her.
"The girl in the black Hoodie stays, everyone else LEAVE!" He commanded.
Isabella looked all around hoping to see another girl with a black Hoodie on but found none of them as she looked up and saw him looking straight at her.

"The girl in the black Hoodie, stays everyone else LEAVE!" He commanded.Isabella looked all around hoping to see another girl with a black Hoodie on but found none of them as she looked up and saw him looking straight at her.All of them started slowly to filter out of the room except for her Marco and Alex."You are following me!" 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 .. I am the new maid" She stuttered."Weird! Marco never keeps maids here!" 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.

"My darling you are a good girl are you not? And good girls don't curse do they?" he mocked.Isabella looked at him shocked and her breath was caught into her chest. She had heard these words a very very long time ago.But the question was how did he know? or was it all just a coincidence!Her head went back to the memories buried deep in her mind.*3 years agoIsabella was on her way back home from the school. The day had been pretty exhausting and she wanted nothing more than to just sleep.Just when her house was in her eyesight she saw her mother, Mrs Parker talking with a fellow neighbour.

"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

It wasn't like he was smirking her or taunting her but more like he was genuinely curious about what she wanted from her life and there was so much that she actually did."Answer me love! what do you want?" He asked again. The way his fingers were holding on to her neck and the way his thumb caressed her cheeks ever so lightly not in a sexual way But in a way that made her feel special."Will you give me what I want?" She asked lightly."Anything except your wish of leaving" he answered.That's what made her snap out of the dream she was in and made her realise that the man caressing her cheek and making her feel special was actually a monster who had kidnapped her and was not letting her go. She pushed him away with all her might and it was like he had also let down his guard because he actually moved away and when he looked up his eyes were a blaze with fury and shock.His hand roughly grabbed her arm before he pushed her flush into himself and I

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 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.

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.

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.
