Isabel POV
When I noticed that he wouldn't agree to my demands, I decided to make use of one of my most efficient weapon. Emotional blackmail!
A seer once told me that my tears are extraordinary and can be used for good purposes. I guess it's the reason why mum always scolds me whenever I want to cry.
Ever since I knew how powerful they are, I have always used my tears to get my wishes done. Although I was warned not to overdo things or there will be dangerous repercussions.
I frowned my face and pinched my self so hard that tears swelled up my eyes.
"I don't want to live alone. I find you familiar and friendly, please let me live with you. Please" I cried.
After much hesitation, he finally agreed. "You can come live with me"
I raised my head abruptly."Huh?"
"I said you can come stay with me or should I change my mind?" He fired.
" No..thank you" I exclaimed.
This was the perfect time to hug him as I promised Mirabel so I quickly jumped on his body.Gosh! This is so embarrassing!
"Get off me" He howled and pushed me away.
" Sorry..I..I.." I stuttered but he cuts me off.
" I will forgive you this time but don't ever do that again" He scowled, wearing an irritated face.I nooded my head sheepishly.
Just then, two cars suddenly halted beside us. A young handsome man got down from the car and rushed to where we stood. " How are you sir? Are you hurt? Should I call the doctor?" He panicked.
" No need for that. I am fine. Have you called the cops?"
" Yes, I did sir. They're on their way here. Thank goodness you had the tracker on, we wouldn't have known where you were"
" Put a call across Mr Philip, my personal investigator. Tell him to never stop until he finds out those behind this attack. I will never spare them"
" Yes sir"
" Arrange for new sets of bodyguards. Those old ones are so useless."
When I was certain that they were engrossed in their discussion and wasn't paying attention to me, I stepped few metres away from them. I had to find out if Mirabel really heard her prince charming's heart beat from here.
I held unto my necklace and closed my eyes. I heard some hushing sound like that of a mighty wind running through a tunnel and all of a sudden, it seized . Silence took over and then, I knew I had connected to my world. "Mirabel..Mirabel" I called out.But there was no response.
"Mirabel.. are you there?" I called out again.
" Yes.. sorry, I heard some noises outside and got distracted." She said. "So, have you hugged him?"
"Huh? I just did" I replied, confused.
" You just did? But I didn't hear his heartbeat. Probably, because I was distracted. Can you please hug him again?"
" What? Have you lost your mind. Do you think it's normal for a girl to continuously hug a guy whom she just met? I can't do that" I fired.
"Please. I know you are smart. Just come up with something and hug him again. Please"
" No!"
" Please. Your poor sister is lying down here sick and you can't just grant her this little favor. I feel so sad and lonely right now" I can't see her right now but I am sure she is wearing a pouted lip. So dramatic.
"Fine. Just this last time"
"Yes. Thank you"
I suddenly felt a soft push and I was forced back to reality. I opened my eyes to see a young man staring at me with a puzzled look, I quickly let go of the necklace as it dangled freely down my neck.
"Is everything alright?" He asked, worried.
"Yes of course. I am totally fine" I giggled, nervously.
He shrugged. "I am Felix Henry. My boss, Mr Mark brought to my notice that you will be coming along with us.
We're about leaving. Please get into the car"
"Boss? You mean the other man you were talking to?" I asked with widened eyes.
" Yes. He is in the car but you can't join him there. We will make use of this one" He explained pointing to a car which looked a bit smaller than the brown car ahead.
"Why can't I join him? Is he some kind of demi god or what?" I asked, irritated.
The glass of the brown car suddenly whined down. "Won't you guys enter the car or do you want to stand there forever?"
Felix opened the door and gestured for me to get in. I hissed and got in. He followed suit and the car zoomed off.
That jerk. I was so pissed with the fact that he entered a bigger car and asked me to make use of the smaller one but I didn't want to create an issue since this is the first time so I let it slip.
After a while, the car finally pulled up before a huge mansion.
"We are here" Felix announced.
The car's door pushed open and I got down. I quickly ran over to where Mark stood and held unto his hand giggling. He is the only human I feel relaxed with and that is really strange.
"What do you think you are doing?" He asked with a frowned face.
"Holding unto your hand" I replied, stating the obvious. "I'm scared you might disappear so I won't leave you until I get my own room"
"You don't have to do that. I always keep to my promise" He shot, trying to set his hand free from my grip.
I didn't bulge. I held tightly unto his hand, he will have to kill me first before he will be able to set himself free from my grip.He shook his head and let out a deep breath as he walked into the mansion while I tagged along, holding fast to his hand.
As soon as we got closer to the door, it cracked open and we both walked into the foyer.My eyes almost bugged out of their sockets at the interior decoration of the house which looked as big as my palace back home.
The walls, flowers and chairs is so unique. I haven't seen this before.
I stood in awe, admiring the place.
An elderly man rushed to us. "How are you son? Are you hurt? Did those bastards do anything to you?" He asked, worriedly.
"I'm fine dad" He replied coldly.
"Is that a way to reply to your dad who just expressed how worried he was towards you?" I almost scolded. Looks like he is not just rude to strangers but his family too.
We suddenly heard someone crying. I looked up to see a young lady sauntering towards where Mark stood with her reddened eyes and scattered hair.
"What's wrong Jessie" Mark asked with an out spread hand. The crying lady fell into his embrace and cried even louder.
"What happened brother? I was scared you were going to leave me. How would I have survived? I'm so sad" Jessica cried.
"Who said I was going to leave you? That would never happen." He replied, rubbing her back softly.
He broke from the hug and wiped her tears. "You look so ugly when you cry. I wonder how your crush would feel if he sees you in this condition"
Jessica chuckled. I couldn't help but chuckle too. Who would have ever thought that the grumpy governor has such a soft side. Looks like all big brothers are the same, he reminds me of my elder brother.
"Mark, who is she?" Jessica asked bringing me out of my thoughts.
Mark turned to me. "Who? Oh you mean her?. She is just a random person who is in need of accomodation and I decided to help her out"
I raised my eyebrows. " A random person? Is that the way to refer to someone who saved you? That's so disrespectful of you" I snarled.
" What?" Mark growled.
Jessica hugged me. " Thank you for saving my brother, we owe you one"
