When she reached the hospital, she took a glance at her phone and reread the message from her informer again. He was so considerate that he even sent her Adrian's room number. She went to the third floor and looked at the number of the ward "533". She saw the door opening and a young nurse getting out of the ward. The nurse sweetly greeted her and she responded. She waited for sometime for the nurse to go before she went closer to the door. She thought of looking through the door to have a glimpse of Adrian before entering but she stopped upon hearing a very familiar voice. The voice belonged to a woman and she was sure she knew that person but, she was shocked because she didn't that person to be there. She curiously looked through the transparent circle and saw the woman carefully wiping Adrian's hand with a small towel. Adrian suddenly whinced in pain and Isabel overheard thier conversation. She heard the lady saying with little guilt
" Oooh.... sorry... "
After apologizing, her expression all of a sudden turned furiously and she snapped
" But....are you that dumb. Why didn't you try to excape. "
Then her voice turned into that of mockery
" Oh... trying to be a hero saving the damsel in distress, now you are in distress "
Adrian quickly retorted
" Hello,....they are military men. They have years of experience in the battlefield. I have just had my years of experience in the city. How do you expect me to excape. Tell me, who is clearly at disadvantage here "
The lady sighed in frustration and said
" Fine... but why do you have to go with her in the first place ?"
Adrian laughed sarcastically as if that was the funniest joke he had ever heard of
" Ha-ha-haaa,... Excuse me...., okay let us go back and recount on some forgotten memories..., I was once my house when I had this interesting call. I picked it and the person on the other hand said.."
Adrian suddenly changed his voice into that of women
" Hello babe, I hope you are fine. I have been able to pollute Isa's mind into running away with you. Well.. she was drunk and I don't know if she thought about it or remembers it. Just to be sure, the moment you meet her, tell her you want the both of you to run away to somewhere far. She would definitely follow you. I know. Once you have achieved that, we can continue to make more plans to find a way and suck her dry. "
After saying that, Adrian asked pretending to be in deep thought
" Could you please tell me the speaker "
The lady rolled her eyes and Adrian smirked mischievously. Still not ready to accept defeat, she said with confidence
" Good you still remember. Then you also have to also remember that I told you to tell her that not to go right away with her without anything "
Adrian said feighing hurt
" So you are now blaming me for getting injured "
The lady then said in defeat
" Okay.. okay, but you should be careful next time "
Adrian said annoyingly
" Hey, there will be no next time. In fact, I am done with that idiot. I can't be following her and be getting this kind of beating. If not for this silly plan of yours, I wouldn't have courted her in the first place "
The lady sighed softly
" Yeah, ... I think we have to put a stop to this game. I can't stand risking your life anymore"
***Guys I guess you know the lady***
Adrian smiled in satisfaction and upon recalling something, he said with pity
" But Isabel is really naive, frankly speaking, she is stupid. Just look at how she bluntly fell into our trap. I sometimes wonder if she had a brain damage, like couldn't she see I was after her money. Even the fool could figure this out "
Upon hearing that, the lady scoffed with unhidden disgust
" It's not her fault she is so spoiled she can't simply differentiate between right and wrong. Can you believe she still have this sparkle of hope that you both can be together. For God sake even if you were truly in with her I don't think you would have still followed her considering her family's behavior. Now even after marring Carlisle DelaVega, she is still constantly asking for a divorce like a lunatic. She got every woman's dream and she is just pushing it away. Tsk, tsk, tsk "
Adrian frowned and asked with pure jealousy in her voice
" Every woman's dream right. You also had that dream "
The lady smiled at Adrian's childishness and said coquettishly
" Hell no, you were my only dream from day one "
Adrian smiled in satisfaction but then her voice changed from coquettishness to disappointment
" Too bad I couldn't properly sponge her off "
Adrian said in slight annoyance
" Let's just stop thinking about her for now. The next time she calls I'm gonna dump her. The future is about the two of us alone "
The lady chuckled and switched to her coquettish attitude
" Awww.....so sweet, you and your mouth-watery words. I love you Adrian "
Adrian also replied with tenderness
" I love you more my sweet Maria "
Adrian pulled Maria into her embrace and they both kissed pationately. After thier long- lasting kiss, Adrian suddenly chipped in with gratitude in his voice
" But, when she suddenly stood up for me in front of her family, I was very touched and almost fell for her."
All of a sudden, Maria sent dangerous glares at Adrian and hissed with murderous intent
" You better not fall for that bitch. You are mine and mine alone, get that "
Adrian chuckled and said assuringlly
" Hey chill, I'm never going to fall for her. She is not even my type. You are my one and only love...from day one "
Then he skillfully pulled Maria and kissed her again.
..................…
Tears kept on cascading uncontrollablly from Isabel's eyes. She found it hard to believe what her eyes and ears were telling her. Her best friend and fiance did this to her. They plotted against her and she stupidly fell for it. Everything was a plan, a set-up from the beginning. She was very excited that she had fallen in love and the person loved her back. Just like the novels she read, she thought she could have a happily ever after with Adrian. Then after some years, they would have kids and her family would then accept them. But maybe Adrian was right, maybe she had a brain damage that made her act like a complete fool to believe them and fall into thier trap.
After crying for sometime, she wiped her tears thinking " they are not worth it ". Then she boldly opened the door and entered. Both Adrian and Maria were caught off guard and were really flabbergasted to see Isabel there.
