Jamie share a confused look with Bodgan "What is she..."
"What happened here?" Sasha cut in,Katy gloat at Bodgan from the corner of her eyes,they were both fuming. "Jamie, where's Isabelle?"
"I...I am sorry"
"About what?I called you minutes ago what did you say then?You and that...that Micah,the both of you lied to my face"
"They were the victims right?" Katy slam her question towards Jamie,Sasha blow out air from her mouth and stumbled. "The accident..."
"It happened an hour ago,Xander condition seemed worse that he'd to be transferred out of here,I know you....I understand how you must feel but accusing anyone in this..."Greta spoke up, hugging the shivering Jamie.
"Who are you?Are you the Augustyn?"
"Sasha"Bodgan snap. "Behave,For goodness sake we're all in shock here,relax, Isabelle is fine just unconscious for now"
Sasha slump to the ground wailing,Maja wipe her fallen tears and wrap her arms around Sasha shoulder,while Aurelian help her up. "I left them for just a minute"
"I know,Sasha,I know and I'm sorry I didn't personally call you to tell you about this"Aurelian whisper in her ears. "I should be sorry"
"I want to see her"
"You can't see her, we've to wait for a few hours..."
"How dare they?Why can't I see her?"
"You will wait,if you want her to be safe Sasha, you'll wait"Aurelian said softly. "Calm down, Ms. Codds"
"I hate that man" Aurelian force a smile. "He lied to me and God...I believed him"
"It was for a reason,for this most especially,your reaction"Sasha grit her teeth and relax under his arms. " She's gonna be just fine" He mutter which earned another series of sob.

Isabelle eyes flutter,she squinted when sunlight sipped in,she recalled some things,some horrible things about the accident,the phone calls and her heart beat rapidly,she scrunch her face when the heavy smell of disinfectant hit her nose,she steered and to her surprise she felt the pain she'd been feeling subside a little which was a progress.
"Isabelle" She stop in her effort to at least get herself up and roll her head slowly towards the source of the sound. "Here" Isabelle turn to her side and lock gaze with the man she was growing sick with worry about. "I'm right here"
"Xander" She gasp as tears fall from her eyes. "Xander,why,,,why am I here?Are you okay?Are you,,,I was worried,I woke up thinking that something could be wrong or..."She pause when she noticed the Mark on Xander face. "Are you okay?"
"You told me you could tell us apart" Tears roll afresh from Isabelle eyes to her chin. "Can't you tell me apart from him? I'm sorry,I failed you both,I lied to you all,I did all this and..."
"Where's my husband?" Isabelle said. "Where is he Chief?"
"I'm sorry"
"Where is he?" Isabelle yell.
Sasha turn the knob of the door to Isabelle room and stop to talk on the phone. "Listen I did a lot to get her,I paid a lot to make sure I see her Micah and I can do a whole lot more to get my brother out of that place,what do you guys mean by he might never regain consciousness? that's bullshit...Don't Sasha me Micah,don't make me hate you,I can be your worse nightmare"
"Let me go"Sasha gulp in sudden fear. "Where's my husband?"She heard the scream again.
" Who's that?"Micah voice resound from the speaker of the phone. "Sasha"
Sasha disconnect the call and open the door,so quick that she could swear she felt dizzy,she gasp when she saw Isabelle thrashing on the bed.
"Issy"
"Excuse me" Doctors rush in,in the blink of an eye Isabelle was surrounded.
"What is going on?"
"Ma'am" One of the nurses approach Sasha. "Please wait outside"
"But..."
"Ma'am please" Sasha sigh and angrily step out them slam the door.
"Issy,oh thank God you're awake" Micah kiss Isabelle forehead after she woke up again,Sasha bury her teary eye in the croon of her neck sobbing. "The doctors did a lot to get you back,They said you'd a panic attack"
"Where is he?"Sasha and Micah exchange a look.
"Those doctors are animals,how dare they stop us from meeting you"Sasha mumble. "Issy,honey,you just have to be okay,like okay"
" I can take it"Isabelle said,the machine in the room start to beep more than usual. "Tell me"
"Isabelle,calm down"
"Where is he?" She Shout. "Sasha, where's my husband?Please,just tell me,please, I'm begging you,I can take it"She cried.
"He...he,,he slipped into coma"Sasha burst out before Micah could stop her, Isabelle went stiff on the bed. "Issy,the doctor said he's gonna come out of it,he will,very soon"
"Sasha"Micah glare at his wife,she glare back,he roll his eyes and face Isabelle. "He's out of the country for now,he..."
"Please,leave me alone" Isabelle said calmly stupefying the couple's. "Please"
"This is insane, you're not okay,no one is leaving you here"Sasha rant.
"Micah,please take her out of here,I wanna be alone,let me think,I just..."
" It's okay"Micah kiss her forehead. "Don't stress yourself"
"Hey"
" Let's go"
"What's wrong with your.."
"We'll be back soon Isabelle"Micah said and drag Sasha out much to her dismay.
Isabelle whole body shook as she burst into tears,she collapse on the bed wishing everything could just be a lie, no accident, no injuries but as time passes she realized it's true, something had happened, and no matter how hysterical she became it didn't sooth the pain in her heart.
__************__
Bodgan lean on Isabelle bed, he'd willed himself not to cry ever again since his father was murdered in cold blood In front of his eyes everything was practically destroyed for him,not even his uncle's death seemed to shake him,nothing did it was like the emotions...his emotions were buried at the same place his father was buried but today looking at how pale and lean his niece is made him want to bawl.
Isabelle open her eyes,she stared at the ceiling for sometime and let the silence reign. "How many days as it been?" She suddenly spoke up.
" A month, you'll be discharged tomorrow,at last"
"The phone call,I wanted to talk to you about it" Isabelle sit up,she remove the duvet and throw it on the ground. "Did Aukey call you to the station?"
Bodgan glance up in confusion. "Station,on that day?"
"Yes"
"No,there was no call from the station but...hold on, Aukey did tell me his brother received a call from which points at the Area b police station"Isabelle lips quiver. "Do you think the accident is... Isabelle I do know it was pre-planned,but by the officers? isn't that kind of too much, Xander did nothing"
"Bodgan, I'm gonna tell you something and I don't want to hear this from anyone else,not even Greta"
Bodgan take her hand in his and nodded. "I won't"
"The attack wasn't on Xander,it was not on my husband Bodgan"Bodgan freeze. "It was on Sasha"

# At the top floor of Emeryk penthouse.
Isabelle stare at the food in front of her emotionlessly,The atmosphere did little to her anger,she tip her fork lightly on the gold dinner dinning table specially made for Emeryk and specially used today to show off.
Emeryk sigh and lift his finger to stop the two naked women caressing his back. "I know I didn't prepare a feast but I did next to one,my love,tell me what the problem is"
"Do you know who planned the accident?" Emeryk smile and lift his hand again,the women began their work. "Do you Emeryk?"
"Do you know who killed Triplicate?" Isabelle lips curl into a smile. "Do you know who did Isa?"
"We're in a game of questions, aren't we Emer?"Isabelle stood up and sit on the Gold dinner dinning table,she let her black tight gown roll of her thigh as she did and her hairs fall backward, Emeryk tilt his head grinning. "Do you know where Adam Augustyn is?"
His smile fell and dismiss the women. "Where?"He answer hoarsely.
"Right here in Warsaw Emeryk,I need you to do something"
"Why?"He lean with a curios gaze. "Why is my baby girl granting my wishes today?What do you want?"
"It's quite easy,I want Adam Augustyn... dead"Emeryk expression change,from shock to surprise the smile. "Of course,why would I want nothing in return for sacrificing my father?"
"What do you want My love?I love our trade and barters"
