Chapter seven...
"Annabelle" Isabelle whispered, that day was bad, Jessica was yet to wake up and her sister's appearance didn't do any good. The witch was bad news.
"You guys know each other " Tony asked with a clear ring of confusion in his voice.
He never expected his girlfriend to know the witch, she ruined him and he is yet to forgive himself.
Annabelle face broke into a saccharin sweet smile, if she liked anything it was the look on her sister's face and Tony's own was not helping, she felt good. Her sister's face was a mixture of anger, sadness and surprise though she masked it pretty fast it still gave Annabelle the thrill.
"She's my sister...or should I say that we are twins" she saw the shock on Tony's face, he doesn't seem thrilled by the news.
"We were sisters," Isabelle spoke with a clear emphasis on 'were' "you stopped being my sister a long time ago" her voice was strong and smooth with no sign of emotion.
Annabelle was surprised, the Isabelle she knew was emotional as hell, and she liked playing on it. Maybe she is just trying to play strong, she smiled to herself Isabelle doesn't know what is coming for her.
"Forget that Isabelle, you couldn't even give him what he wanted, I helped you out so that it remains in the family, you should be grateful to me" she finished with an eye roll.
She smiled to herself when she saw Isabelle's eye glaze in anger, she couldn't help feeling the satisfaction of knowing she made her upset.
Isabelle gave her a sarcastic smile, her eyes a burning orb, waving her hand as if to say 'it means nothing' she shrugged "of course I am not angry, Nanny Teresa taught me to always give away my used toys to the less privileged."
Isabelle saw her sister's eyes widened in shock and surprise then mopped into anger and knew she did hitten a nerve. She internally gave herself a pat on the shoulder.
The b***h wasn't going to catch her unawares, she was going to give as much as she took, at least Jessica made sure of that.
Annabelle smiled "Awwwwn isn't that so sweet of you, you have always been the kind one.
I think we are finally having things in common, but since I couldn't give mine to the less privileged, I knew the trash was my only option, isn't that right Tony love?" She saw Isabelle let go of Tony's hand.
This is nice she thought, the b***h will know never to talk back at her.
***
Tony groaned, his head was arching and the banter between the two suposed sisters were not helping.
Isabelle never told him she had a sister and they have been together for over a month now, she never mentioned anything about a family member, she claimed they were dead. He wondered what her story was, because if Annabelle was her sister, then she sure as hell had a family. Though he knew that being without a sister is a hundred times better than having Annabelle as one.
The witch has made it her mission to ruin people's life, she was bad news. He left everything behind because of her and started a new life, now that he had things moving again in the right direction she storms back, with the no other intention except to reck his life again.
What on earth did he do to deserve this? If Isabelle dumps him, he was going to kill her.
"Is that so?" He heard Isabelle asked with a raised brow "then I think your mother should have also thought you what a recycle bin is, toys thrown into the trash are recycled and they come back as new." he felt his chest swell up with pride not because she called him a toy, but because she was handling things more than he expected. she smiled at her sister as she took his hand in hers, with the other going round his neck, she raised on her tiptoes and pressed a quick passionate kiss to his mouth, felt the thrills and immediately wanted more. When the kiss ended she turned to her sister and giving her a wink she whispered loud enough for anyone who cared to hear "as good as new."
A large grin broke out in his face, if anything he felt proud, his girlfriend was a badass.
Still holding his hands she whispered so that he and her sister included could hear her "baby' let's go check on Jessi" her voice was sultry and sweet, she even call him baby, she has never called him 'baby' and hearing her call him that, made his heart skip double a bit. He was about to say something nice and promising in return when he heard a voice call out.
"Anna! Your father is awake" the trio froze, he felt Isabelle's hand clench in his, he could recognise that voice anywhere, even in his dreams. It was Mrs. Elisa McCarthy, Annabelle's mom and since Annabelle and Isabelle are twins, she was Isabelle's mother too!
Damn!
could anything get more worse, seems like everything was against him, he saw the glam enter Annabelle's eye, she gave him her signature evil smirk and he was certain that the b***h will do anything to ruin him, especially what he feared the most.
He was done for.
Then and there he regretted making sure Jessica had a private room in a private ward.
He was f****d.
***
Isabelle closed her eyes and counted to ten, she needed something to calm herself down. Could anything get more worse, firstly, she found out that Claire was a b***h, then Jessica had an accident, then she met her b***h of a sister, then found out that her b***h of a sister was her boyfriends ex, she was still trying to wrap her head around the recent events and at the same time wondering what the hell her sister was doing in New York city, at the same time and hospital only to find out that her mother and father included were present, and to top it all her father was sick or something, whatsoever that day couldn't get more interesting.
She felt the first bead of sweat on her hair line. she was stressed mentally, emotional and physical and meeting her mother will only worsen her case.
"Anna?...what's keeping you?" she heard her mother's voice as she came to the door.
"See for yourself, your prodigal daughter has returned" Annabelle answered making way for her mother to pass smiling.
Isabelle can clearly see that the b***h was thoroughly enjoying herself, she even smiled as her mother's eyes glazed in anger as she recognized her.
"Isabelle Jane McCarthy! where the hell did you run to?...where have you been? " Isabelle smiled, she did specifically changed her name and everything to make sure she can never be found, now she couldn't be more happy she did. The woman was angry, very angry, she could barely control it, she even used her middle name. Isabelle could practically see the smoke puffing out of her ears, she wondered why she didn't try to slap her, the witch was very good at it anyway.
Her smile broke into a grin when she saw her mother's clenched fists, it's a one for her, because last she remembered the woman did nothing better than slapping her. She saw the smile drop from Annabelle's face, the b***h seems disappointed. The day might actually not end as badly as she had thought earlier.
Her grin broadened.
"You ungrateful brat! "
Isabelle saw tears glisten at the woman's eyes she would have pitied her if not that she ran out of pity for the woman a long time ago "You left when you were needed the most, leaving everything to your father, how could you do such? "
She looked at Annabelle, the b***h doesn't look so sure of herself again, she seems angry, Isabelle smirked at her.
Tightening her hold on her boyfriends hand she turned and headed to Jessica room dragging him along. She was busy and had no time to waste, her little chit chat with her sister was already enough.
"How dare you walk out on me?... I am your mother!"
Isabelle turned to the woman, she actually had the nerve to look offended and broken. 'A-ha' Isabelle thought she doesn't know what is coming for her, her smile was saccharine sweet when she answered "my mother died a long time ago, you are not my mother and I don't know you. "
The woman slumped.
