His Mafia Heiress

Jack of all trades

Chapter 40

-- Anika --

Finally, I was able to get home Isaac with the help of Stephen, at least here I am sure we are safe, besides I need to make it up to Isaac after what happened at the emergency room. Since I have told them I will be in-charge I need to set up a meeting with the guys. I cannot help solve the problem behind the ambush of Isaac if I don't know the reason. behind. I need to know its roots. I texted Jake for the meeting at the Library, but I have to secure first Isaac before leaving the room, I didn't bother to get a nurse to help me since Amelia was here for assistance, to minimize also the in going and outgoing person's in this house. 

"So what's with the ambush?" I asked sitting in the middle of the table looking at everyone in their eyes. 

No one answered, they're just looking at each other. 

"Okay! Let me ask you once more, why was Isaac ambushed?" I asked in gritted teeth trying to calm myself. 

Jake cleared his throats before answering. 

"It's just some mafia business, nothing to worry about. I can handle this Anika, just take care of --" Jake tried to explain and changed the topic but I didn't bother to let him finish. 

"I'm not asking if you can take care of what happened because you sure probably can, what I want to know is why did Isaac was ambushed? The b***h in the hospital wouldn't dare to put the blame on me if she didn't know anything." I said that makes them look at each other again and shook their heads. 

"Jenny was just confused and controlled by her anger, but she--" Blake said but knowing Jenny, I won't buy that reason. 

"Jenny might be controlled by her anger many times, but knowing her in just a short period of time, she don't just easily get confused at things specially in your business things. So, I will ask one last time, why was Isaac being ambushed? and before you answered me make sure it was the truth, because I don't buy your lame and unreasonable reasons. Don't push me to hard to lose my patience" I said narrowing my eyes to each and everyone of them signaling to spill the bean. 

Jake exhaled deeply before he stands and get walked into Isaac's table and get a brown envelope. 

"I know I'm not the right person to tell you but since the situation is asking for this and I think it's time for you to know." He started and hand over the brown envelope to me. 

"Isaac made another research to find out who your real parents are, he personally assigned Jenny since Jenny knows and connected to a lot of people in the underworld. She found out that you we're an heiress. you we're given to Alfred Scott when you we're just a baby, you we're given to Alfred to live, after you we're given to him, you're father died a few days after. Let's leave it there and will let Isaac tell you the whole story. Isaac was ambushed by --" 

"The person who killed my father?" He just nod in response. 

"So they're not really after Isaac, they are after me." I asked looking at the photos he gave me. 

"Basically yes, and knowing Isaac, he will not give you up knowing what happened to your father, Isaac loves you that much that his willing to sacrifice everything just to make sure you are safe." Jake said, I know that already, Isaac is a man of his words. 

I wanted to cry and scream because this all happened because me. Isaac merely lost his life because of me, trying to protect me to the same person who killed my parents. But why? Am I that too important in their lives to necessarily kill me. I was living a life far from them, what makes them come after me? I know something is still missing and Jake will not tell all the story now, I'll just wait for Isaac, I want it to came from his mouth. I know this time he will not keep secrets to me. 

"You're all dismiss, you may take your rest now." I was lost of words and that's all I have said. 

"Don't think too much little sister, focus on Isaac for now." Jake said tapping my shoulders before he left the room. 

As soon as everyone left, I went to our room also. 

I stared at the face of Isaac lying on the bed. This person is the same person whom I saved from an accident a year ago, but why didn't I did the same at the emergency room? ever since I came here I always thought he just have that feeling because I saved him, but things gone too far from what I've expected. This man has now put his life into danger just to me make sure I will not get the same fate my parents had. 

I kneel and cried beside Isaac holding his hands. 

"I'm sorry Isaac, I'm sorry" I uttered while crying. 

No words can express how sorry I was to him, in my whole life I never thought a man would come into my life who will protect me with all his life. No man has ever treat me like this, and it crushed my heart looking at Isaac in this condition. What have I done to deserve a man like him, he never fails to show his love towards me.

What life will I have if I never knew this man, I might be living the life trying to prove myself to my adapted parents who will never love me as their own, living a dull and predicted life, how naïve I was, and what have I done in life for God to me a man like him. I never really deserved his love. 

From now on, I will let my guard down and let him fully enter into my life, break down all the wall I built to restrain other people from entering into my life. How stupid I was, I need to see him in this situation before I realize I was fallen in love him. I already love the person who bought me from my parents. 

"Please wake up now Isaac, please give me chance to also prove my love for you. This time, I will make sure all things will be worth it." 

"You may not hear me now, but I know, tomorrow you will surely did. You're my Jack of all trade after all" I said smiling at him.
