Rick mack paused sighting someone from afar,he walk out of his sturdy,taking smooth steps towards the library "Dad" He turn but saw no one "Daddy"
"Sasha are you there?" He ask in alarm,turning the door knob of the library "Sasha" He stop himself from opening the door and pull down the lever beside the door,he bring his gun out,Sasha wouldn't pop in out of the blue he knew that.
Though Xander is the ghost of the mansion he wouldn't come here unannounced "Dad" He hear the distinct voice of Sasha.
"Sasha my dear" He turn the door knob "Sasha"
"Boom" Rick stumble back terrified, breathing heavily "Boom! boom!! boom!!! Surprise" The masked man beam.
" What're you doing here?" Rick queried,placing the gun on a small desk. "I thought you left"
"Yeah I did" The masked man sit on the desk,picking the gun up and cocking it "But I came back"
"You're not real"Rick stride further into the library "What are you doing here?"
"Observant, I've to start changing my approach"Rick turn swiftly and frown,the man was no longer there,he turn to the shelf and jump in fright "Ta da"
"You're gonna give me an heart attack"
" I can't kill you"The masked man cock his head "I came here for your own wellbeing"
" You're not here"He laugh,Rick pick up a book.
"Right,But I'm here in another form of word" He grin,Rick locate the couch and sit "She's going to die"
"If it's about Isabelle I suggest you quit it, what's your motive exactly?and why do you keep torturing her?"The masked man chuckle "Who's going to die?"
"Sasha,someone exchanged the syringe she had from Jamie"
" What are you saying?Sasha is okay"Rick mumble.
" Oh she's not, remember the accident, Jamie injected her,it was their plan to make her condition worsen and it did,but on a different note someone exchanged the syringe for poison"
" And you're just..."
"Chill,I know where the antidote is" Rick mack stood up quaking.
"What do you want?How do I know everything you said right now is true"
" Go check, Sasha eye circle is all black and the Iris is...red"The masked man laugh " She's gonna be fine,I just need access to Your mansion"
" So you poisoned her?"
"Why would i?Give me the code and I'll give the antidote,think about it you buried a wife... don't bury the innocent girl, she's too beautiful to die"Rick mack grab the masked man collar,he froze when it dissolved in his hand. "I'm waiting" He felt the sharp breeze on his shoulder.
Rick take his phone out and punch in numbers "Micah" He said "I need Sasha test results"

"A slut" Grazyna burst into tears, Isabelle roll her eyes and look down at her fingers realizing he heard them, he was listening to their conversation, Isabelle almost let out a chuckle,Sweet punishment for her is when you give it when the person doesn't see it coming.
"Grazyna" Xander smile cheekily.
" Yes sir"
"This woman sitting right here, can you tell me what her name is?"Grazyna wipe her tears,tucking a fallen strand of her hair back to it's place.

" Oh my... ma'am I'm so sorry"Grazyna kneel down, Isabelle look at the woman pleading like a single word from Xander will approve her death sentence.
"You're fired,throw the other out of the plane ASAP"Xander scowl eating the well prepared dish in front of him,Isabelle blink,Grazyna start another long battle of tears hearing the verdict.
"They're going to die,this is unjust" Isabelle said,Xander hum. "Mr Mack I'm serious"
"Are you my lawyer now?I can't waste my time going to court to prove..."
" I didn't hear them say anything" Xander drop the fork "I didn't hear a thing,how did you?" Xander scoff.
" Isabelle I'm not a dummy,I heard them" 'wow!he heard them!'Isabelle fake jubilation.
"Not her" Grazyna stop crying for a minute "I didn't hear her"Xander glare.
"Don't make me mad,I heard them, I'm Good at distinguishing voice" 'Wow idiot!'
"Mr mack,you mentioned court,have you thought about the 'court'In your accusation? I'm a very reliable witness and I didn't hear her voice"
" Who cares?"
" I'm your wife,I do care and throwing people out of planes... it's brutal"Isabelle rub her chin " I'm scared"She sigh " I won't be able to sleep at night if... it's such a pity"She ramble,Xander clench his jaw.
" I'm saying this because I'm not in a bad mood"Isabelle raise her brow "They're both fired,and you.." He look at Grazyna "You won't receive any salary for the next seven month,the chef and pilots won't receive theirs for two months"Grazyna nodded,saying thank you and apologizing like a mantra, Isabelle pick up the wine.
"And the airplane..."
"I'll throw you out if you utter a word, I'm lenient enough"He turn to the hostess " I want them out of my sight till we get to our destination"
" Okay...ok..sir"
"Leave" Xander close his eyes "How dare you Isabelle?" He barked.'Good,now it's my turn'isabelle groan.
"I'm sorry Mr Mack and I think they acted the way they did because they're not familiar with your women"Xander open one eyes " Your girlfriends"
"I don't bring girlfriends on a plane,I take them somewhere... how's that your business?"Isabelle close her mouth, he's brute no doubt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xander sniff, laughing throatily as he pull Isabelle closer, he kiss the crown of her head startling Isabelle, she froze her back on his hard chest "Mr mack?"
"Yes it is,the humble Mr Mack" Isabelle push his body away,standing up hastily,Xander grin.
"Why do you creep on people?" Isabelle yell "I was sleeping..."
"Touching me"
"I didn't touch you"
"You did and I lost control"
"What?" Isabelle check her dress it was in place,Xander cackle "You do that like a wizard,this isn't funny"Xander button up his shirt.
"Your face is enough to put me into the baddest of mood, we landed"Isabelle scout the room in chills of fear.
" Where?"
"Your graveyard"Xander jump from the bed " Get moving"
"But I don't know where...oh" She scratch her head " To the Gramps"
Isabelle stood behind Xander as he talks to the pilot,she raise her head and gulp,a man in his fifties,with tilted head grin at her,he took out his hand inside his black suit pant pocket and stretch it out.
"Hi" She whisper not taking the handshake,the man place his hand back smiling,he ogle at the dark haired gorgeous woman in front of him,wearing a purple ankle length off shoulder gown showing off her pale skin.
"Jeremy Marek" Isabelle smile "The chairman"
"Oh Hi, Isabelle col..."
"Mack... Isabelle mack,stop the bad habit" Xander piped in with an icy stare.
"Mack?You didn't tell me anything" Chairman Jeremy mutter.
"Why would I?The airplane sucks, those hostesses were... "Xander pause and added"do you think I can't make you resign?"
" I'm not in charge of them" Isabelle step back to give them enough space to kill themselves comfortably.
"It's your responsibility, I'm not sounding rude but... it's your job to watch those people"
"What about the airplane incident?do you think it's professional?"
" Well I've the right to take the plane"
" You don't work in R&D and because you're the heir doesn't give you the right to misuse the company property"Chairman Jeremy throw back.
"Jeremy don't get on my nerves, I'm not respectful don't let me carry out an experiment on you"Xander pull Isabelle to his side " And this woman is mine don't overstep your boundary".
Chairman Jeremy scoff,but deep within he was seething in anger, watching as Xander walk away he clench his fist.

"What was that all about Mr Mack?" Isabelle mumble sitting in the limousine " I'm not your property,you can't just toss..."
" You are"He stare at her with his icy glare "You sold yourself to me"Isabelle sigh.
" Why do you hate me so much?Everytime I ask myself that, I just can't find the answers,I told you I needed to leave,I told you I was scared of staying,many people died I didn't want more death"She lift her gaze up to clear her eyes that is starting to water.
"Stay within your limits"He said frigidly,the car pulled over in front of the mansion, Isabelle step out giggling,though her memories of the house wasn't nice but she'll never forget the sunflowers.
She gaze at the mansion covered by the sunflowers and orchids,Xander lips curve he turn to Jan "Is she beautiful?" The guard choked on nothing.
"Sir ma'am is..."
"Stop ogling, I'll cut your head off the next time I catch you staring"He threatened.
" Okay sir"Jan intimidated with the threat he slowly retract his gaze.
Xander glance at Isabelle,the feeling of distaste and abhor for her make him scoff,he sighted his grandparents and roll his eyes "Why do you hate me so much?" Her question thaw his heart " Why?"He ask himself,she left! that's not enough reason to want to torture her "Then why?"
The butler swung the door open engulfing Isabelle in a bear hug,Xander fake a smile "You're here,how nice of you to bring her early Xander"Isabelle chuckle " Missed me?"
"A lot" Isabelle wrap her arms around his neck "I didn't expect to meet you here"
" I don't retire my love,how was the wedding?the boy wouldn't speak"the Tall and handsome butler snort.
"I'm not a boy Gary" Xander step into the mansion "She's right to ask why you are here,where is your dad?"
" In the room asleep,thought you were gonna be here last night so he stood on watch"Gary pull Isabelle to the living room.
"You two are the worst set of beings,playing a joke on your father!"Isabelle chided.
"The people here are oldies,Got to have some fun,hey girls your mistress is here"Xander swallow staring as the two interact,they were School mates,his father had worked with the Macks for all his life,his only son Gary had grew up with them so they school together and he should've expected to be thrown away once the two meet each other again.
"Welcome to the Mack's humble abode" The maids and chefs scream, Isabelle dramatically cover her chest.
"Whoof,you guys scared me,nice to meet you all and I mean the new ones not you traitors"They guffawed.
"Xander dear!!" The cheery mood died away.
