"What do you mean by that?" Xander angry yell kept the workers locked in their office in fear. "Katy this is irresponsible,how did this happen again?"
" I'm sorry"she apologise,not knowing what else to say to appease the erupting volcano,she also didn't know how it happened what she knew was that she left the company to visit Isabelle and on the way was told to get back urgently and when she did,his office was on fire.
"You're leaving tonight" she nod already knowing this was coming "You will stay in Malaysia,taking care of the upcoming event there and one more news about my office there catching fire then you're fired"
"Yes sir"
" Pack your bags ASAP,last but not the least send me a voice note on how this happened and tender an apology to mikojaj"
" Okay sir"
"Out"Xander sit opposite her desk, massaging his brows,she pick up her bags taking a deep sigh.
"I'm sorry"
"out" she nod and left, Xander glance at the closed door before looking back at her desk,he tilt his head picking up the small device placed beside the base on the desk,his brow knitted.
"Cameras?" he turn it "Cameras,but how?"His phone rang but he ignore it knowing who is calling,it buzzed again compelling him to answer.
"What did you do to her?" Sasha cried "she as been transferred,she isn't breathing Xander"
"but she wasn't declared dead,so why the tears?"
" how dare you? Xander this is going to far, you're going to far with thus, playing with lives, what're you going to gain if you kill her"she yell.
" A lot,stop crying, you'll get married soon don't ruin your beauty before then"Xander disconnect the call.
***
" A lot,stop crying, you'll get married soon don't ruin your beauty before then"the call ended.
"... "Sasha stare at her phone agape,she pack her hair quickly into a bun dialling her dad number,he pick up in one ring "Dad, Isabelle condition as worsened and I don't know where they took her to"
" Calm down,honey I'm right here"she look up and a wave of relief wash through her,she embrace him. "you don't know where she is?" he ask once she as calmed down a little.
"Yeah, I've an idea why don't I disguise? I'm sure Xander as something to do with this,maybe If I disguise as Jamie or anyone else they'll tell me where she is"
" I'm not sure about that,Xander would never do such a thing"Rick defended.
" Dad you don't know Xander as much as I do,and he's getting crazier" she pick up her coat " wish me luck"
" We can just ask...or wait?"
" I can't wait"Sasha dash to the doctor office,Rick mack sigh bringing his phone out to make a call.
"Xander,I need you in the hospital ASAP,and prepare to explain what the heck is going on"he keep his voice low.
" Yes sir"came Xander grouch answer.
Sasha smile at the doctor in charge of Isabelle ward,she made sure her red hair tucked behind the cap she wore.
"Hi"
"How may I help you?" The doctor look up,and motion for her to sit.
"No thanks, I'm good this way..um.. I'm a relative of Ms Collins"
" Oh"his face turn sour " May I know who exactly you are to her?"
"An aunt, am her mother younger sister,I heard from the Mack's that she was hospitalized "he nod sadly,Sasha heart picked race.
" I'm sorry to inform you but, Ms Collins passed away" Sasha shook her head in shock " We're getting her cleaned"
"No no,she was fine a..."Sasha pause at the sound of her dad calling her.
" Ma'am"she face him,he shook his head slightly. "Can I've a word with the doctor?"
"Sir I'm..."she turn to the doctor "how?"she sob.
"Please ma'am, you've to take heart, there was nothing we could do"the doctor said emphatically,Sasha close her eyes,open it and step out but standing beside the door.
"Mr mack please sit,it's an honour to gave you here,how may I help you sir?" the doctor beam at Rick mack,he sit.
"I'm here to see my daughter and I didn't find her here,mind telling me Where she?"
"Sir, I can't, it's not my call to tell you were..."
"The ravens owns this hospital, imagine I reporting you to them,Answer me doc do you want me to"
" This is highly prohibited sir...I mean to leak out informations to outsiders,the mack securities brought her here and it is my job to..."
"Fake a death certificate"Rick utter, he'd a gut feeling this was about the death certificate,though he doesn't understand why Xander would want to proclaim someone who's alive dead,he found it wrong.
The doctor fidget " Um... Mr Mack, she's okay but not here we transferred her to Mr Xander mack apartment"he blurted,Rick mack click his tongue,his blood boiling.
Sasha scratch her hair, frustrated because she couldn't get a word the two were discussing about,part of her knows Isabelle is alive somewhere, Isabelle can't just die and Xander be calm about it,she knows how crazy her brother can get when it comes to her well being and still she can't point out what the error was in all of this.
Sasha step away from the door when her father walk out "Dad, where's she?how?Why did that crazed doctor said she passed away?"she bombarded him with questions.
" I'll explain in the car" Her father answer kept her mute and confused but she obeyed keeping her mouth shut till she got to the car.
Strings of curse left Sasha lips when her father explained what was going on "Xander is going too far"
"I should've done the same,if I'd done this your mother won't be dead"Sasha mouth drop.
"Dad, this is insane, sooner or later the killer is going to know she isn't dead, and how are you so sure they're connected, yes I know trouble does follow Isabelle around but why will a killer set his eyes on her? "Sasha close her eyes to keep her heart from bursting
"Face your problem not hide from it, Isabelle as been facing all this alone,that was why she left Xander and all of a sudden that man wants to change her, it's not gonna be possible that death certificate won't get out of the hospital"
" I won't let it get out Sasha, relax I also do not think the killer is connected to Isabelle but I feel there's someone else running this whole show,Xander office was burnt to ashes,this as never happened before"Rick mack purse to take a breath.
" We've to think this coolly,my daughter won't be announced dead, never"He pat her hand " No matter what the reason is this is absurd,he should ask for her consent"Sasha scoff at her father view of Xander.
" Mom is the only one that could get through to him, I'm tired of trying to love everything he does and not scold,I want to see her"
" That'll be tomorrow"she nod " He won't let you see her if I don't talk to him"
"Yeah" Sasha roll her eyes.
