Isabelle fiddle with her fingers,trying her best not to turn around so as to not alarm the stiff man beside her, she'd been taking by surprise when he'd really slept on the bed,though there was pillows dividing them Isabelle wasn't assured he won't take it all away once she's asleep,so she decided to keep herself awake... simple.
"Stop humming Isabelle,I need to sleep" His sharp voice made her squirm.
" I didn't tell you to sleep here, Xander" she retort.
"Sir...and for your forgetful brain information I am the boss,I sleep wherever I want,got it?"
" Your voice is husky,how can I?"Xander grunt,turning to came in contact with her behind,sensing the change of position Isabelle cringe "I don't like the lights on" She lied.
Xander ignore her burying his face at the crook of her neck scenting the lavender Jasmine fragrance in her hair, Isabelle close her eyes and then flutter it open inhaling and exhaling.
"You're probably thinking about what'd happend,right?"She broach the unapproachable question.
" Why do you think so?" Came Xander husky reply.
"I'm sorry"Isabelle said, realizing that ever she came back she'd utter little of those words "But I did was I felt was right"
"You left me, Isabelle you betrayed me and...and shattered my trust"His Adam Apple Bob.
"What else do you want me to say Xander?why do you hate me do much because of something we'd no hold on,it flew out of my control"
" You left,you lied all this while,you knew why mom died,you knew why olive died,you knew who killed him, he might not have been our real son, but the fact that you hid the reasons from me is a fact itself that you're a.... "He pause.
" That I am? "Isabelle queried.
" A liar, a manipulator, a whore Isabelle, you proved everything they said right"Isabelle nod to herself despite the knot in her belly, her body felt weak from exhaustion.
"I haven't fully recovered yet,I need a doctor"
"He'll be here tomorrow and after we come back from the honeymoon"He kiss her earlobe " You've no idea Isabelle..how much I wish you were dead"With that he switch of the lights in the room.
Isabelle bite her lower lips,but the tears she wanted weren't falling,the pains were there but the ability to cry it out were gone.
"Your office was burnt" He hum "And there are a lot of things you probably need to do right?"
" Right!! And if you're planning to change my mind about the honeymoon then you better stop it"
" I won't"Isabelle poke her nose,pinching the tip a little "Do you think I left those documents at the house because I'm a whore or whatever I'm in your eyes,I left it because of this"
"I left it for you to see why I needed to leave,There were a lot of deaths...a lot and I didn't want to lose you,I loved you and you know that,I did with all that's within me"Silence engulf the room,Xander slowly change back into position,his back behind hers,He heave.
"All you left behind only showed me how...how I've failed not how to trust you"He mumble,closing his eyes,darkness engulfing him instantly due to the tiredness.
Isabelle touch her necklace, caressing it "You don't trust me and I don't either,and to hell with you Xander I don't like darkness".
Xander open his eyes ready to give her a cold reply but her held his tongue thinking about the arguments they would get involved in afterwards tired,he close his eyes leaving everything to the night.
Sasha woke up with eyebags the next morning,her hand located her phone blindly on the bedstand,she put on her best smile as she video call Isabelle but she didn't pick up,Sasha groan inwardly thinking her brother might have taken it from her,so she called him instead.
"Hey" He answer on the fourth ring groggily.
" Manners forgotten?"She sneer.
"How can I forget to be polite, you're my early morning alarm, what's up?"
"Well unfortunately I didn't call to indulge in an argument this morning,I only wanted to ask about my friend"
"Why don't you mind you business Sasha?this is my life why won't you let me be?"
" Isabelle is my best friend idiot,watch your twisty tongue,you took her phone and you're telling me now to mind my biz"she yell.
"Hold on I didn't take her phone,Jeez what would I use it for anyway? Her cellphone will be retrieved from the Macks, it's probably there"
"Give her the phone,I want to talk to her"Sasha order.
Xander irritatingly glance at the bedroom where the doctor is attending to Isabelle,he look back at his phone "She's taking her bathe" He snort"And you don't want me violating..."
" No it's okay"Sasha said I'm a rush "tell her I called"
"yes bye"Xander rudely disconnect the phone,he ruffle his hair,his eyes grew big when he recalled his conversation with Isabelle Murray,the court hearing was Monday!,and he was going out with Isabelle for at least three days,he called Louis immediately.
"Morning sir"Louis happilly answered.
"You woke up on the right side of the bed right?well I didn't" He stated sternly How's my office now?Still black?"
" Oh sir in two days everything will be back to normal".
"You sent me a document last night and I'd a deep thought on it,We hold gala's,then why not dreams event,the kids as to be shown to the world as nothing but a human like them"
" I agree sir,the idea originally came from Katy,I thought it was a great idea and the name is superb 'DREAM'the children are gonna be so happy"
"I commend your efforts,you two did a great job"Louis beam from the rare praises from his boss " I got an email last night which clearly stated the clients are leaving, how's that possible?"
" Sir,the fire scared some of them and to some it's the kidnapping,they all seem to think if they could get into the Macks they could swiftly get into the Security house"Louis report.
"And the employees? received any resignation letter?"
" No we talked to them but sir it wasn't even needed,when they came here and took their respective jobs they already knew the risk,and to the company loss it's minimal to what we thought"
"Yeah,the weird thing is that those rivals seems to have good words to say about me,we need to tighten our belts Louis they're in for something big,have you talked to the clients?"
" Yes sir,all of them"
" I'll send Katy back,I can't see them now,Louis you remember the foy case?"
"Yes,the reason for the kidnapping"
"Great,I want you to contact the judge I need the hearing moved to Wednesday morning"
" Oh but..."
"How many times have I told you not to say but when I relay orders?"Xnader barked.
" I'm sorry sir, I'll do as told,should I call Ms. Murray?"
"You should"He snap " Once the hearing as been moved to the latter date,tell her to call me if she doesn't understand"
" Okay sir"
"Louis"
" Sir"
"My regards to your daughter"surprised and happy at Xander interest,Louis Bob his head before immediately saying.
" Thank you sir" Xander end the call and glance directly at the approaching middle aged male doctor.
"How's she?"
"I would suggest she stay..."
"Is she fit to travel?"
" Yes, but in a comfortable manner,like your jet or helipad,her condition might get serious if she isn't taken care of properly,I told you about the risk involved itself she doesn't get proper treatment"Doctor Batowski said.
"Death,memory loss,skull bleeding and so on,I remember doctor and I promise you she'll be well taken care off,no yelling,no arguing to trigger those things, When we arrive back here she'll be all yours"
Doctor Batowski stare at Xander in amusement and disbelief "Why the need to fly her out of the country,she should still be in the hospital you know?"
" Yes and my heart bleds anytime I think of that but it's the circumstances, believe me"
" I do,but if any harm..."
" No harm, Isabelle is well fit, she'll be fine,I understand your worry"
" Well if you insist"The doctor sigh " I'll take my leave"
" Please do...um I meant oh you're leaving so soon" Xander put on a fake smile.
" Yes,take care of yourself and Ms Mack" The doctor walk to the door.
"Sure" Xander curse once he's out "I pay you for something else not to interrogate".
Jamie place the paper on Micah lap,he smile combing her hair with his fingers,she sigh.
"Will that be enough?"
"Yes, Isabelle will love this,she won't ask any question once she reads it"Jamie smile "Yes to make someone feel the emotion you've to write not type"
"I hope she forgives me,I wanted to test it out"she pout,Micah open his mouth to scold her but she was quicker "I know,I know,no friends from now on I understand" She raise both her hands up.
"I will talk to Isabelle about the home School suggestion till you're okay,and Sasha gets through with her psychiatrist"
"I don't need one"Jamie protest.
"You do" Micah stood up picking the files "I've to go now bye,love you" Jamie roll her eyes,he chuckle crouching to place a kiss on her cheek "It's for your own good"
"Bye" She wave,he laugh before going out,Jamie frown picking up Isabelle diary that's always with her,she open to the page about the chip,her sister had told her bit she still wants to confirm if it's indeed true.
"It's there" She trace the leaflet "What's going on then?" Sasha and Micah surprise and their pestering after she told them about the chip makes her confuse 'Did Isabelle only gave her because she's the only one she can trust?'she thought.
Taking a deep solid breaths she close the diary,her questions unanswered.
