"Take off the mask,let go of your hypnosis"
"Are you sure you're ready for that?"
Isabelle smile."Are you sure you're ready to know about Debra Mack?"
Aukey roll his eyes and place his hand on his golden half mask,Isabelle clench her fist anxiously,he lift his mask in one swing and Isabelle felt completely breathless.
"Xander"She gasp in shock,the air around her thicken,Aukey smile a bit toying with the mask. "What are...You are..."
"Aukey Mack,the supposed dead son of the Mack,now you know why I need to know how Debra died"Isabelle hand tremble against the table,now she understood why he never harmed Xander,why triplicate doesn't dare hurt his brother and the frame..the frame their pics,her mother shock and Xander nightmare.

"There was a guy,I saw him,he was crying,he was mourning mom"Xander whisper his head on Isabelle chest,she sigh and draw him closer to her. "I see him everytime it's mom death anniversary"
" Maybe his mom also died that day"
" Yeah but you know what's strange?"
" What?he looks at me sadly,like he wants to come to me and I noted something peculiar"
" What?"
" Ocean blue eyes, Although he looked different but mom does describe that type of eyes,her own...that eyes"
---
"I appear every 22nd,to mourn my mom,Mom was coming to take me back home,I was surprised she was coming with you, though I never deserved it...she wanted me"
" Mom,you know Mary"Isabelle swallow hard. "You're that guy who took Jamie right? You're Edwine"
" Edwine,Mary named me that because she believes I'm her happy friend"Aukey suck in his breath. "You still remember Edwine, I'm honored"
" You created a fuss,you took my sister from the crib and instead of mom getting you arrested on the spot she kissed your cheek and didn't even scold you,i was jealous for days and I do wonder who Edwine is... Jamie had an imaginary friend"Isabelle fold her arms " She named him Edwine,now that I think of it, it's you not an imaginary friend that's why mom never bothered"
" I'm sorry you felt jealous" Isabelle smile and observe him,his face. "Xander took my look,I should be jealous, he'd the chance to use it unlike me".
"Katy was right, she'd seen a man one who looks so much like her boss and Gary..."Isabelle eyes widen. " Oh God, I'll never forgive you"
" You've so many reason not to forgive me" Aukey take the bullets and throw it across the room. " I might get tempted to kill you if you don't tell me anything about my mom"
Isabelle look away and sigh. " As Edwine, Where's my dad?" Aukey mouth drop. "You're a happy friend and friends don't lie, I'm a bad person but Jamie isn't"
" I swear..."
"Tell me the truth don't swear" Isabelle yell and burst into tears. " Where is he? Don't lie to me"
"My hands are tied"Aukey said.
" Fine, I'm ready to go back to the cell" Isabelle grit her teeth and wipe her tears. " It seems you don't want to know about your mother"
" Isabelle"
"I want to see my dad, you've no idea how long I've waited"
" He wants to see you too but he can't, you've to understand that your uncle mustn't get to that position".
" I know"
"Isabelle,your dad is safe,I promise to take you to wherever he is and with a lot of precautions but I can't tell you,the General life isn't a joke"Isabelle smile spread across her face. " Don't make me emotional"
"I won't but a promise is a promise"
" I will keep it now keep yours,what happened to my mom that day? how's is it possible that nothing happened to you?why did the autopsy come wrong from the woman they buried and right from the one found at the lagoon?how did mom end up in the lagoon?"
"She died, that's what the report says"Isabelle mumble. "Emeryk found out about you I think because he placed a body in the lagoon,I found that out recently but the truth is"Isabelle wet her lips contemplating and choosing her words carefully. "Debra is alive...she's alive and well,I and my brother took her"
"My mom?"Aukey voice shook. "Debra is alive?"
"I'm sorry"
" Sorry"Aukey roar. " You're sorry?My mother is alive and well with you and.. how's that even possible?I was there, I'd the video of how it all took place and now you're telling me..."
" Calm down, I did something wrong,I took a mother from her children and I snatched her children happy childhood but I'd too,I had to choose between myself and her, I'd to choose between freedom and her and I choosed her because she's worth it,someone sent Bodgan a CD,one like a confession of Emeryk,I don't know how it got to mom,then dagmara and yours"
"Bodgan found out about the missing CD and contacted mom but I was in the office that day,I heard everything before he knew it was the wrong person by that time your mother was on a journey,maybe to meet you"Aukey palm his face.
"I stopped her and insisted I go with her because then I believed Emeryk won't hurt his niece not in that way, Bodgan traced our car and followed us, trust me I knew nothing about the explosion but my instinct had always worked magic"
" That red car...it was Bodgan's"
" Yes before the explosion we took Debra"
" What about the dead body?"
"Bodgan put it there,it was like he planned it before hand"
" Your mom death happened before that, how's it possible that your mom was still with you?"
Isabelle lift her chin up " That's the comma in our story,mom never died and the day your mother died to the world Emeryk took my mother"
" Where's my mother? Where's she now?I deserve to see her don't I?"Aukey ask, Isabelle look away from his pain stricken face.
"I lost her,She's was taken by emeryk,he needed her to get to Xander in order to win the upcoming election" Tears fall out of Aukey eyes. "Why do you think I came back?you think my love for Xander is that strong?you think I want Jamie dead?you think I'm back for you to destroy me?No, I'm back for a purpose"
"When?how?Why did you lie to me?" Aukey scream slamming his hands on the table,Isabelle smile.
"Maybe if you told me who you are and not torment me like you did I'd be considerate"
"What? You lied to your boyfriend too,what about Xander?"
"What about Xander?he's your brother,what about your father? he's your father"Isabelle scoff. "Why do you think I came back?I came back to get her,I came back to get my father,I came back to get my mother,I came back to fulfil my promise to my sister,I came back to kill,destroy,I came back to kill you"
Aukey scoff. " That's not possible"
"Triplicate thought you hypnosis,I was right you lived with him"
"I think I did for fifteen yrs, isn't trip old?You still haven't gotten him Isabelle don't brag about getting me"
" Rick knows right?"
"Yes,my father knows,dagmara knows and someone else"
" Who?who else knows you're alive?"
"Jamie"Aukey mouthed.

"For the umpteenth time he would have killed Ian or Xander, I've to hold him with that little time,if it's longer he'll snap"Isabelle shout. "Beside, Bronsilaw I'm married"
Bronsilaw chuckle and brush his hair with his hands, Isabelle roll her eyes and walk away. "What does she see in the Half Americano?"
"You've to quit it"Greta said to him. "She's in love with the guy"
"I fell in love with her first"
