“I told you not to mess it up…. .”
“You chose to do otherwise.”
“It’s going to cost you.”
“I warned you, Isabelle…..
“How would you like to see their tiny chopped-up bodies in a sack?”
“Or better, wouldn’t you like to see them following in your footsteps?”
Too bad the poor innocent children will have to pay for their mother and father’s stupid costly mistake.
Wonderful isn’t it Isabelle?
My mouth suddenly became too heavy to speak. Amelia and Aiden went to school. How did they end up with Dean? My greatest fear came through. Dean had my life; Aiden and Amelia hostage. For the second time in one week.
I knew Dean too well. He was going to give it all up just like that. He wanted to make me pay for the costly mistake I made.
“You were smart, beautiful, and Daring but now you are just weak and stupid. ”
A weak love bird ha
“Your stupidity is going to cost you.”
“You might just be able to have them again but I doubt it .”
“You know where to find me.”
I was unable to utter a word. I just listened to him speak with my stuffed throat. My throat felt like it was continuously being stabbed with a sharp object.
James and Justin were too busy proving their points, paying no attention to whatever it was that was going on with me.
“STOP IT. ”
STOP
I screamed at the top of my voice.
“Just stop it. ”
“You both are the reason for all this.”
“Amelia and Aiden are in Dean’s custody all because of you both. ”
“What? Amelia and Aiden? Dean? ”
“What are you talking about?”
“You heard me.” I was burning up with anger and pain. My heart was hurting, I was on the verge of collapsing. The little strength in me wasn’t enough to speak further yet I kept pressing on. I was short of breath.
I couldn’t help but blame them for putting me in that mess. If they didn’t show up then maybe things would have been different.
If anything happens to Aiden and Amelia, I wouldn’t be able to forgive you or you. I pointed an accusing finger at the two of them.
“I will never forgive you.”
Justin was shocked to hear the news. James was too.
My main worry was getting to Dean before he did something. I didn’t care how I was going to get there or what was going to happen to me. I didn’t care.
I picked up the keys on the table swiftly. Justin’s car keys and made my way to the door.
“Where do you think you are going all alone?”
James ran towards Me agitated and scared. He took my hand.
“‘I’m not letting you leave”
“Not in this state.”
“I didn’t ask you. ”
I aggressively jerked my hands away from his and ran out ignoring all James and Justin’s Calls out for Mr to stop.
I got into the car and ignited it. My eyes were blurry and my face was red. My cleavage was soaked with tears that dropped uncontrollably from my eyes. I was in a state of dilemma. Devastated and agitated.
I wasn’t thinking straight nor was I in control of myself.
I was heading to the warehouse. Without even knowing what was waiting for me and really, I didn’t care. If Dean could just give me back Amelto ia and Aiden and enslave me forever, I would think twice before accepting his offer.
I was that desperate.
” Please, keep my children safe “.
“Please.”
I wiped my eyes with my sleeves hoping that my tears would stop and I could see clearly but the more I stopped them from falling, the more they kept coming. Tears streamed down my face and my Snort ran down my nose. My throat was closing up and I also passed out but I kept going.
” Do you want to get yourself killed you fool ”
The young man I almost Bumped into yelled through the window of his car.
“Get the fuck of mout y the road if you want to die.” Another hailed at me.
The warehouse seemed farther than it was. My anxiety made it worse.
Soon, I drove into the close. I packed my car, Just in it.
Sat there for a few minutes. I was pulling myself together. My weakness and helplessness were something Dean was ready to take advantage of if I let him.
. iped my face with my sleeve several times before it finally dried up.
I proceeded to the gate. The weather was different from how it was a few hours before the call.
It suddenly became cold. The harsh weather turned into a cool soothing one. The clouds gathered and the sky became darker. I started to feel uneasy. Was it the weather or something else?
My legs were heavy. Fear filled my heart. I walked through the gate and finally found my way through the roll-up.
“GOOD to have you back”. Dean chuckled with the tobacco in his mouth. He was wearing a mafia suit with a black hat. His usual fashion sense.
Ai…. den…
Aiden and Amelia were tied to a wooden chair. Their mouths were gagged and their legs were tied with rope. They were still In their school uniforms.
The room was dimly lit with only one bulb in the center of the room. Dean’s men were all around the room with guns and masks traumatizing my kids. Amelia and Aiden couldn’t stop crying. Muffling With their gagged mouths
A muffle with a cry for help.
I wanted to run up to them but I was stopped With guns pointed Directly.
“Take one more step and I blow their heads off. ”
Dean said to Me with a fierce angry tone. The tears I had tried so hard to hold back rolled down my cheeks.
“You dared me, again ”
I…..
“Shut up ” he lashed out angrily at me.
“You speak when you are spoken to. ‘
“How dare you ruin my mission. ”
“How dare you .”
“I entrusted this to you and you bastard, you ruined it.”
“Do you have any idea when you have cost me?”
“You fucking bitch.”
Dean was having insults at Me yet I couldn’t say a word. I shivered with his echoing voice in my ears.
I didn’t care what he was saying to me. All my focus was on my children’s Discomfort.
“I…. I’m sorry. ”
” Shut up ” Dean gave me a tight resounding slap across the face. I fell to the ground.
“I said you speak when you are spoken to. ”
“Stay down. ”
“That’s where you belong.”
” At my feet.” He yelled at me when he saw that I was about to stand up.
“Please… just let them go.”
“I said shut up .” Dean kicked me with his hard shoes in my abdomen.
I immediately started to bleed out my mouth. Coughing profusely and groaning in pain. My stomach was hurting but the pain I felt compared not to the pain my heart was going through.
“I thought you were somebody I could trust. ”
“You betrayed my trust all those years ago, I forgave you and came back thinking you were worth something but you are worth nothing but a worthless whore.”
“You should Have died alongside Dylan. ”
He bent over to my level, grabbed my bleeding jaws, and made sure I stared him directly in the eye
“You made a big mistake by coming here. ”
“Just like always, you fell into my trap. ”
” You walked into your death trap. ”
” Did you really think I was going to let you have your kids?”
“Perhaps you think I was going to give you another mission with your kids as the price?”
He laughed maniacally, forcefully letting go of my jaw. My head dropped helplessly to the ground.
“I only invited you here for your death. ‘
“You know what, I will kill you in front of your beloved children.”
“I will like to see them cry out helplessly with your blood rolling down the hall ”
“You of all should know what trauma can do to kids.”
Just like you watched your father die slowly in the hands of assassins, your Children will watch their mother draw last breath and that trauma will stay with them forever.
“Trauma makes kids function pretty well, don’t you agree? ”
Dean didn’t ask me to come over for my kids, he had another plan. He wanted to kill me and at the same time own my kids and use them for his dirty jobs.
He had no human sympathy whatsoever. Age, innocence, and emotions meant nothing to him.
Here I was, walking into his trap. I made the biggest mistake of my life by accepting a mission in the first place.
It was too late for regrets I knew. How was I going to escape?
Amelia and Aiden were tied to chairs, masked gunmen were everywhere in the room. It was just me and myself.
One wrong move and I was dead.
“Please… ”
“I beg of you .”
“Don’t take everything away from me please.”
Arghh”hhhh…. Stay quiet. ” Dean snapped.
He pulled my hair, dragging me on the floor like a sack of garbage.
He pulled me closer to Aiden and Amelia.
He pulled out his gun, cracked it, and placed it on my forehead.
“Say your last Goodbyes Isabelle… ”
“Let her go now.”
James and Justin rushed in.
All this while, I didn’t know James and Justin were behind me the whole time. They drove in James’s car. How quickly they resolved their issues.
