Chapter 87 - Eighty-seven : The Bolster (1/2)
Back at the mansion :
Hands on hips, Isabella asked her ” How sure are you that this stupid plan of yours is going to work? ”
Anabelle glanced up and scowled at her before refocusing her attention on the long, thin , almost invisible yet firm cord in her hands, fastening it around both chairs placed at the sides between the entrance.
She heaved as she tightened it ” First of all, this plan isn't stupid. And secondly, I learnt from the best ”
Then Anabelle stood up and admired her work. It would take a very, very close look to discover something was tied there - how perfect ! Her eyes twinkled and she rubbed her palms together in gleeful anticipation.
”What next? ” Izzy asked in a bored tune and wrapped both arms across her chest with a stern expression.
Anabelle tugged a stray lock of hair behind her ear ” I scream and you act ”
”What -?!” But before Isabella could understand what she meant, she let out an ear-piercing scream, like a banshee, leaving her dumbfounded.
”Ahh! Help me,Isabella is hurting me! Oww! Somebody help me! ” Anabelle wailed with all her might.
By the time the doorknob began to turn as the security tried to open the door, Izzy got a hint of what she was trying to do and she collaborated with her at once.
”You dumbhead! I'm going to kill you today?! ” Izzy began her own acting and was grateful when the pounding on the door began.
”Open this door ! ” They commanded from outside since the door was locked from inside but the kids giggled inwardly and made faces .
To come inside the room, they would have to grab the spare key from Amanda who should be having her beauty sleep by now.
”Ouch! Not the hair ! Let go of my hair! Somebody help me please ! ” Annabelle screamed eliciting a boom from outside.
”Hurry up and get the damn keys! ” One out of the two guards stationed at her door ordered his partner.
Then added, but this time directed at Izzy ” And Isabella, let go of the girl! ”
”Who made you my spokesman?! ” She fired back ” I have the right to do whatever I want! ”
”Ouch! Izzy no, let go of me ” Anabelle faked-cried causing panic to break out on the face of the poor guard.
He knew Isabella was a troublesome kid which was why he was given charge to keep her from attending the party tonight.
Sir Niklaus had warned him strictly not to let anyone into her room whosoever be.
But he had taken pity on the poor child, who had lost her mother at a tender age since he experienced the same thing too and thought letting her cousin Annabelle to entertain her for the night would lift her mood.
Moreover that girl Annabelle had the power to bring even the strongest of men down to their knees with just her eyes.
He had refused her entry at first but when she fluttered her eyelashes, let the tears pool at her eyes and her lips quivered, he had no choice than to give in at once.
But who knew Isabella would be so cruel as to hurt that sweet, innocent girl and her cousin at that.
”I swear to God Isabella If you hurt as much as a hair on her body, I would not let you off ” he threatened hoping to God it would work.
Izzy snorted and rolled her eyes, this lowly guard was trying to scare her ? Oh please, she had seen scarier things than him.
She retorted ”Why don't you know your place first !”
Watching the scene,Annabelle shook her head, tsk tsk, her cousin was simply original. No one would even tell this was nothing but an act.
But the moment they heard the keys working on the door, their eyes widened and Annabelle hurried over to Izzy saying;
”Quick, grab my hair ”
