Rush turned towards starry briskly and grabbed her neck roughly, his now dark eyes void of emotion
"you are a mere servant, how dare you borrow the queen of Li' Dynasty your body to fool me?!" he yelled angrily
"I apologize for my foolishness your highness, she ordered me to lend my face to her for a while.....i-i couldn't refuse her" starry said through her breath and Rush shoved her away angrily
"prepare the costume for my next shoot" he said firmly and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind
"Mr Larson, Manager kim would like to see you" an average man delivered
"i don't wish to see anyone, we'd all meet at xx country tomorrow" rush said abruptly and walked past the man
personal assistant louis shook his head and walked towards the VIP room
"where is he?" manager kim asked immediately he sighted P.A louis
"he does not wish to see you, he said you'd meet at XX country tomorrow" P.A louis delivered and manager kim clenched his fist in anger
"that wench...." he cursed with gritted teeth

"how can a human be so beautiful?" Jason wondered within himself in a daze
every time Isabella changed into a new dress and walk out of the dressing room to ask him if it fits, all he could do was nod
"i think that's enough, i won't be staying at your place for some long anyway" she said making the attendants to start whispering among themselves
'i told you, she's boss's new girlfriend'
'yeah right, he must have kept her hidden because of her fairy beauty's
'oh my.....I'm so jealous! no wonder i don't see miss annex around these days'
'poor miss annex, mr maxwell must have dumped her after meeting this epitome of beauty..."
'i know right.....she's too beautiful...'
"hmm, ask the manager to deliver the dresses and other accessories to the mansion in thirty minutes, and also! this lady here is my guest and not my girlfriend, i never dumped annex so quit gossiping and get to work" Jason ordered strictly
"uh, ye- yes sir, we are so sorry" the attendants bored respectfully and scurried off
"let's go miss Isabella" jason turned to her
"oh, yeah! lets go" Isabella said and they both walked out of the mall
Jason phone beeped and he picked it up at the first ring
"hello....." he started the phone conversation
"Mr maxwell, your fiance just collapsed at work" the caller reported and jason face darkened
"What! felix, get the private jet and bring her down to xx city hospital, now!" Jason ordered hastily and dropped the call
"miss Isabella, can you drive? I'm sorry but I'm afraid i have to leave you behind and rush somewhere gently" jason said apologetically and Isa forced out a smile
"its fine" she said
"thanks" jason said and dashed off immediately
"you have to be there in her last moment anyway" Isabella thought aloud
"Hey!" rush's voice suddenly echoed from behind
"ah! you scared me! how long have you been standing here?" Isabella raised her brows at him
"just now, I'm in a middle of work but i have to quickly drop it, its a message from mother but i wrote it" Rush said and handed over the letter
"oh, i guess she visited you instead" Isabella said
"Yeah, you should've heed to her calling though" Rush said and Isabella chuckled
"did she annoy you again?" she asked playfully
"isn't she always annoying?" Rush retorted
"well, i guess she can't help it" Isa said
"By the way, that jason's fiance, are you really going to get rid of her?" rush asked
"yeah, she's a goner! she has few days left anyway, she's terminally ill but i guess jason isn't aware of it" Isabella said
"then you should just let her die a natural death, she's going to die anyway so why get your hands stained? Isa, once you get your hand stained with a human blood, you might not be able to back out, i know you want to become human so badly but hey, think about it. the Isabella i knew would never kill anyone out of her own will" Rush said and Isabella frowned
"Don't play this card rushian, i must get my hands stained if i must become human" isabella said
"So do you really think ashes or father would make you human after you become a beast?" Rushian asked
"Rushian stop!...." Isabella yelled angrily
"calm down and listen to me Isa, before you get your hands stained , lets find Lana and be sure she became human and not a spirit since she also wiped out and entire family to become human over a year ago, every member of our family who fulfill one mission or the other always disappear so Isa please, i don't want you too to disappear on me , please, this might be a trap set by father and ashes" Rush said Calmly
"Rush, when did these thoughts started coming to you?" Isabella asked curiously
"early this morning, when an old looking came to me and helped me unbind the custom bracelet" rush replied
"what! how did she do that?!" Isabella frowned
"i don't know, she made me fall in a deep slumber and it was gone when i woke up" rush explained
"There's really someone powerful enough to unbind the custom bracelet?" Isabella wondered aloud and raised up her wrist where a golden rope-like bracelet was tied
"that is why Isa, we should find out about the facts before acting up, we can't believe everything ashes tells us, remind me later that i have something important to tell you, i really have to go now" Rush said and transported back to the studio where he was shooting
"miss, are you alright? you've been talking alone, its strange" a young lady tapped Isa
"oh do that jerk made himself invisible and turned me into a mad woman" Isabella thought within herself
"oh I'm so sorry, I'm an aspiring actress so I'm just practicing,don't mind me and just go your way" Isabella said
"oh, I'm sure you'd become very infamous, you are very beautiful just like Larson Rush, its so nice to meet you, I'm Rita, an actress in Maxwell agency" the woman said
"oh, I'm Isabella, nice to meet you too" Isabella forced out a smile and shook hands with her
she entered the car and sighed
"should i go home, or not? ugh! I'm so.....i don't know" she thought aloud and closed her eyes
