With Isabella leading the way we hurried out the now silent mansion. I can't believe the plan actually worked. However on our way out we saw Kyle standing just outside the door of his room. He must have not eaten the food like I instructed him to. Does this mean he has changed his mind and wants to leave with me?
"Kyle. Let's go," I beaconed for him to come but he just stared at me before entering into his room and closing the door shut behind him.
I felt sadness in my heart. Why will he choose to be a prisoner rather than being free?
"Leave him alone. We have to leave now before Marcel returns," Isabella said, and she dragged me by the hand before I could say anything.
We came out of the building and I could see some of the guards sleeping on the floor almost lifeless and I became somewhat worried.
Isabella must have read my expression as she said to me. "Don't worry they ain't dead just peacefully asleep," she smiled before.
"Let's get going." She abducted an urgent tone.
Advancing towards the gate I was both excited and scared. I still can't believe this is actually happening.
Am I really escaping from here? It looks so good to be true and surely enough it proves to be so as...
"Hey! What are you girls up to? You shouldn't be here" A thick, masculine voice stops us in our tracks. It is one of the guards.
Fuck! We are so fucked!!
How is he even still awake? Didn't he eat his meal?
I became so terrified I didn't know what to do and the only thought that came to my mind was to run back inside the man as he held a gun and I could also see a dagger at his waist. However..
"Actually we were bored inside so we decided to come out here to have a little fun. If you know what I mean?" Isabella suddenly said and her tone carried a flirtatious and naughty tone to it.
What is she trying to do? Does she want to seduce him? Surely that wouldn't work. I was sure of that but guess what? I was wrong.
"What type of fun?" The guard asked and I could see that lustful look in his eyes.
Oh my. Do all men reason with their penis?
"The sweet one," Isabella replied and she approached the guard seductively, placing her hands on his chest and moving it down to his pants.
"I love the sound of that," the guard grinned licking his lips and then he grabbed hold of one of Isabella's butt cheeks and gave it a good squeeze.
"Ah.." she let out a moan.
"You are such a naughty boy. Ain't you?" She smiled at him while romancing his body.
While all this was going on I just stood at the spot like a tree watching what was happening with dropped jaws
Like what exactly is going on here?
Seeing that I was looking lost Isabella had to gesture to me to join in. I didn't want to oblige at first because I wasn't a bit interested in what I was seeing but she gave me some other hidden signs and signals that made me realize this was some kind of distraction act so I joined in.
"Gosh you are so pretty," the man said to me as he grabbed hold of my butt cheek as well.
What the fuck!
I wanted to slap him right away but I played along and just smiled while being irritated and disgusted inside.
Isabella should better do what she wanted to do fast because I don't know how long I can keep up with this act.
What the hell! Now he has his face buried inside my chest. Is he trying to suck my breasts? Fuck no!
I was about to push him away from me when suddenly.
"Ahhhh!" He screamed out in pain causing me to flinch.
Why the hell did he scream?
I didn't have to think too much as I watched in horror as blood started gushing from his neck and he had a knife buried deep inside his neck.
Oh fuck!
Isabella just stabbed him in his neck with his own knife. He was so distracted by our bodies he didn't notice when she drew out his knife from his waist and stabbed him with it.
"You bitch...you fucking stabbed me?!" He was visibly angry and shocked as blood came out from his mouth.
Isabella withdrew away from him and there wasn't any sign of remorse in her eyes whatsoever. How could she just stab a man like that without any hesitation?? I was honestly terrified.
"You are so dead," the guard frowned as he pulled the dagger out of his neck and immediately tried to attack Isabella with it but he found himself reacting really slowly.
"What is happening to me?" I could see terror in his eyes as he realized he was dying and soon enough he fell to the ground.
"You killed him." I was left shaking like a leaf in the river.
"There was no other way. I had to do it otherwise we would have been caught. What do you think they would do to us??..." Isabella spoke, trying to convince me that killing him was the only choice.
Maybe it was but this was the first time I would be witnessing someone dying and it's not really a pleasant experience at all.
"Come on we have to go. Hurry up," Isabella pressed me and almost spiritlessly I went with her.
Both of us ran out of the gate of the mansion and we kept on running in the long empty street. Although we were out of the mansion it felt like we were going to be caught and I still had that fear inside of me until...
A van pulled up from nowhere and parked in front of us and then two men came out of it. At first I thought it was Marcel's men and my heart sank straight into my chest but then.
We are fucking done!
"Relax. They are with me. They work for the man who is helping you escape," she said and I became a bit relaxed.
"Let's get going. The boss is waiting," one of the men said and I took my eyes to him, paying close attention to his facial features.
He had a bony face structure like he had been frowning all his life and he looked quite familiar. I think I have seen this face somewhere but where?...
Just then like a bad smell carried by the wandering wind it hit me hard as flashes of that horrible memory came to my head.
I could see him, he was one of the men who were sexually assaulting me in Elijah's dungeon.
He is working for Elijah? They are working for Elijah. I now remember all of them.
"No...." I muttered as I felt goosebumps wash over my body in fear.
This can't be happening. Oh no.
"What is it?" Isabella asked as she noticed my sudden change in countenance.
"We need to leave," I muttered in a hurried whisper.
"What are you talking about? Let's get into the vehicle," she said and she started walking but I held her hand.
I shook my head as a sign for her not to go into the vehicle. "They are bad men. They work for the bad man, Elijah. We need to get out of here now," I whispered to her with my heart racing fast.
Isabella looked shocked but I have seen her in action already and I am hoping she pulls up some kind of stunt again and gets us away from here. I don't really mind if she kills this set of men...
"Is anything the matter?" The man asked as he saw that we were hesitant in entering the van.
Taking her attention away from me to the man. "No, there is no problem. No problem at all," Isabella said then turned to face me.
"I am sorry," she said and I wondered why she was apologizing but then.
"She is all yours." She further stated and just then I was grabbed hold by two of the men.
Is this some kind of distraction so she can attack them from behind? I hope so but it doesn't look like it.
"What's going on? Let go of me.." I struggled to break free but they held me tight.
"Isabella! Please save me.." I pleaded with her.
"I am sorry Ella but I had no choice. I needed the money. I am tired of being a maid. With the money I am promised I can finally live the life I have always wanted far away from here. I am sure you understand," she said and I couldn't explain the feeling in my heart.. actually I can.
This is the exact same way I felt when I was betrayed by my best friend Gloria. I can't believe I am being betrayed by someone I consider a friend again. It hurt so bad it brought tears to my eyes.
"You can't do this to me. I thought we were friends?" My voice came out weakly.
"We are friends but I need this and don't you worry he promised to treat you well. He won't hurt you and I am very sure he will treat you better than Marcel would ever do. Trust me," she said and I was left speechless and weak.
Is she being delusional and ignorant to the truth or is she just plain evil and sick?
"Enough talk. Take her in. We shouldn't keep the boss waiting," the man said and I began to be dragged to the van.
"No please no.... Isabella...." I screamed and pleaded but all to deaf ears.
"So when am I getting what I was promised?" Isabella was asking for her settlement with a smile on her face while I was crying and begging for my life.
"Yes about that, the boss said I should give you this," The man said, then brought out his gun and pointed it at her head.
"W.. What are you doing?" She looked frightened and shocked even I myself was confused.
"Your payment," the man smirked, then pulled the trigger.
Bang!
"Isabella!!!" I screamed out as she dropped down dead.
