Isabelle fall to the ground feeling weak from the gunshot wound "Ian it is then"
"Xander,take him....him"Isabelle manage to moaned,triplicate crouch beside her.
"Very well then I'll take both of them out" and before she could say anything a knife was plunged straight into the gunshot hole,Isabelle gasp "This is challenge over isa"he remove the knife,smile and went off,Isabelle wipe her tears hating herself for been so weak,for crying,for showing any ounce of fear but what could she do,she was terrified,for the first time since she came out to the open she never saw him up close,only at a distant....maybe that's why she was relieved of her fear but the minute he came close,his scars increasing instead of decreasing she knew the fear is back.

A large iron bar gate pull itself apart automatically as Isabelle drives in,thousand of guards stood in front of the STARS with a big six hotel and every corners of it were protected by security personnel and systems, Isabelle lift her arms as she was inspected,she'd changed into the dress she was sent,into the skirt,they glance at her wounds but didn't ask how she got it and let her in.
"Ms. Isabelle Augustyn" A man called,she spun and knot her brow "I'll take you to him"
"Precautions huh? I must say your boss is doing well in his business to think of this precautions Tomasz"The man gurgled as a reply and open a large shatterglass door,Isabelle tilt her head and smile at four women in bikini on top of a man on a king sized bed "leave ladies" they pout but left when the man sit up and drag his bathtub to his body.
"Late as usual "Emeryk commented and strap the robe closer "Held up by something important than me?"
"To be honest"Isabelle drop her bag and sit in front of a table with all type of dishes she didn't wait before dishing out the food and eating "I was held up by something important than you'll ever be uncle"Isabelle push the food away angrily and stalk to the large red sofa,Emeryk continue to look at her with keen interest "Why am I here?"
"To see your uncle my love,it's been long I saw that smile and I'm longing for some" Emeryk hollered.
"How's mom?"
"Good as long as you're living she's gonna continue living,my girl you see..."Emeryk sit up "Your life is precious"
"Is it? Triplicate almost killed me today and you say 'oh girl your life is so precious!',who's the liar here?"Emeryk look up in surprise and squint "Why do you lie so much?" Emeryk sigh.
"I can see you're upset my dear but you've to learn to calm down,I'll stop triplicate"
"Kill him,that's all I need"
"I have to become the president for that to happen my love,you see without me achieving my goals I can't let trip die,it's a deal I made with the devil" Emeryk pick up a pipe and took a drag. "What did he tell you?"
"He gave a warning,I need the first aid box"Isabelle throw the bullet in her tummy on the tiled floor,Emeryk lazily drop the pipe.
"Is it about your crazy stunt with the media?you know you're signing your life to the bounty hunters by revealing yourself like that"
"I know,how else will I get out of this hole?"
"Have you found him? Carried out an autopsy on the new dead body but still it's not him"Isabelle froze,a woman drop a first aid box and scurry out like she came,Isabelle pick it up slowly.
"Why do you think dad is dead? The property are all yours,i still don't get why you need dad to get access to some part of...."Isabelle gasp when the soft cotton came in contact with her skin,she pick up the needle and thread.
"You'll do that in front of me?"Isabelle scoff ,Emeryk shrug"The Augustyn have something important that only your father knows about"
"How did you know about it?I mean it's a secret how did you know Emeryk? Why am I here? I won't kill someone because I'm not part of your stupid Assassin creed"
"I want you here my love,instead of the six month torturing yourself because of a bastard who fucks every hole he sees why not stay here?"
"Well that's nice,a great plan but I have my freedom so no thanks,what's your problem with my husband? Are you scared that history is gonna repeats itself? The Mack's and the Augustyn United to ruin you?" Emeryk flinch and sneer.
"Xander will ruin your life my love,let's go to the real reason why you're called here,to give you a warning" Emeryk signal with his head to a blue file,Isabelle press a button on the couch and a table whirl towards her,she pick it up, scrutinize it and came to an abrupt stop when she saw someone familiar.
"Nadia Nowak"
"Yes,I killed her,personally after the rape"
"You're horrible"
"I am,but not always her father cheated me,took every of my oils without paying so I took something I can't refund,I impregnated her,captured her,and killed her then killed his only grandson" Isabelle eyes widen sighting another familiar picture "That's my son Nadi,I killed him"
"How desperate are you?proud of killing your own son? Well you killed your father"
"Tsk,Dad died all because of his sins,I killed the father of the girls slowly and that's my only goal, now ask how this is connected to you,first Nadi affected your childhood and secondly Nadia is Zuzzana Nowak elder sister"Isabelle choke on nothing and squirm when her hand hit her wounded part. "Mind you my love,I don't know the reason she's here all of a sudden but I do know she knows Nadi is her nephew and I'm going to kill her that's unavoidable"
"You're a fucking bastard aren't you?why do you need to kill her?"
"Because Nadia and her baby aren't worth what the money lost,though he paid but it doesn't cover the loss"
"Her life won't either,why am I involved? Nadi is dead May his soul rest in peace but like you said earlier Xander is a bastard and honestly I care less about bastards and the people they're connected with" Isabelle push the First Aid box away. "If she's here to harm me you don't need to worry about that"
"That's my worry my love,I'm assigning ghost bodyguards to protect you,your life is darn precious"Emeryk lean and shut his eyes.

Sasha lay her head on the pillow her eyes not leaving the sleeping figure of Jamie,she wipe the tears gathered on her eyelashes and look at the window deep in thought,the blast has created a hole filled with shocks in them,her house is well protected but how did the grenade come in? They found a man but it was clear after Micah men tortured the man that he isn't the one who throwed the grenade.
"Honey"Micah knock gently on the door "Is she asleep?"Sasha nod "Mom and dad is here,have you called Isabelle?"
"Yeah,she's not picking up,I swear I saw the wounds on her,it's strange because we didn't hear a gunshot"
"Maybe you saw wrong my love,should I send them in? they're all worried about Jamie,your dad can't stop fidgeting"
"Poor Jamie,this affected her so much,can't we leave? After the wedding let's leave this country,we can settle in New York,you've a house there"
"We can leave right now,we can leave today,we can get married there" Micah postulated.
"We can't leave,I've a lot to do here before leaving and it's good if the wedding takes place here,Isabelle will be here,my brother will be here,have you talked to him about the press conference?"
"No,but put it in mind that we can only protect on person and I choose jamie over anyone because she's my life as much as she's yours,as soon as the wedding is over we're leaving" Micah sighed.
Isabelle open a ward door and stroll into the room a body shifted it weight upward on the bed,she remove the mask she's wearing and throw it beside the body.
"Bodgan" She intoned "Oh Bodgan!"
"Just visiting"Bodgan sneer "I watched the press conference,you know it's crazy right?"Bodgan scout her "Sit and tell me everything I need to know"He inquire.
"You know what my plans are,I couldn't come because of Xander,I'd to put him in his place with days of planning"
