Chapter 161 - One Hundred And Sixty-one: No One Would Stop Her Today. (2/2)

”Fine, owe me a wish then ” I suggested nonchalantly.

”Wish? Cool, I owe you a wish ” she agreed readily.

Perhaps she would have reconsidered that decision if she had seen the spooky smile crossing my features right now.

”Alright, now remember a deal is a deal, ” I noticed her just in case.

”Of course” she acquiesced.

What a simpleton.

”Get ready, we'll there before you know it ”

I heard the roar of a car and walked over to my window; Niklaus had left already - time to plot my departure.

Having waited a few minutes, I began to type: ”Send Isabella and her cousin to the hospital as soon as possible.No questions asked”

”Now, send ”

I clicked on the send message icon after inputting the receipt's number aka the head guard in charge of here.

”Successful” I grinned, rubbing my palms together gleefully while anticipation coursed through my veins.

A few minutes later, I heard a voice coming close to my door, someone's here - for me.

A knock came

Oh, he didn't try forcing his way in? His luck.

I disabled all the booby traps and answered the door.

”What now?” I pretended to be oblivious to what's going on.

”Come down, your father needs you at the hospital” he answered grumpily while his eyes ran over my room which was opened halfway.

”Alright” I went with him without a fight which surprised him - after activating the traps of course.

I had dressed up before he came, no need going through my wardrobe again.

”Yes, get her ready, we would be there pretty soon”

He was making a call, probably to Anabella's people.

”Yes, thank you” He ended the call.

I eyed his cellphone and in the guise of trying to get his attention, knocked the device to the ground.

”F*ck!” He cursed and picked it up as he examined the broken phone whose screen was now showing white nothing else.

”I'm so sorry” My hands flew to my mouth from shock, ”I never meant to do that, I just wanted to inquire if that was Anabelle you called?”

He glared at me with gritted teeth, the urge to spank me on the bottom visible in his formed fist but he wouldn't dare to - my father would kill him by hanging.

”James” He called another guard who was watching the area.

”Take her ” He commanded and gave further instructions.

”You” He pointed at me with an accusing look, ”Don't cause any trouble!” Came his warning.

”Whatever” I replied and followed after the guard who ushered me into the car.

I knew the head guard would be the first Niklaus would alert once he discovers his phone is missing - which was why I destroyed it.

Father was smart, he'd figure out I'm the one who took it.

The journey was very quiet, this new guard didn't say a word to me - perhaps he was severally instructed to?

Tsk, tsk, I was not a bad kid, just focused on what I wanted but everyone's treating me like a criminal.

As expected, he made a stop at Annabelle's place, who was ready to leave and joined me at once.

”How did you do it?” The talkative asked me as soon as she climbed into the car.

I glowered at her pointedly, was she trying to get me into trouble here? Especially now my eyes connected with the guard's through the rearview mirror, he was also performing the role of a driver.

”Figure it out yourself,” I said.

Anabelle took that as a cue and shut her trap, I wondered what her intellect was used for?

Minutes passed but my brain was in hyperactivity, processing thoughts afterthoughts.

Niklaus should have found out about his cellphone by now and would try to contact the head guard and if it doesn't go through, would call other guards who would call this guy - No! I had to do something.

”Can I use your cellphone? I need to call my friend” I asked him.

” You can use mi -”

I pinched Anabelle on her laps, so hard tears escaped from her eyes. Can't this girl think before she speaks or was she relaxed because I agreed to take all the blame?

”No, I don't trust you,” said the guard who didn't notice what transpired between Anabelle and me.

”Please, I'm not going to do anything stupid. I just want to call my friend Pedro, he comes to our place steadily and you might even know him. Also, I promised to put it on speaker, so please?”

He didn't respond for a while and when I thought to apply plan B, sighed, and handed the phone to me.

”I want to hear your conversation,” he said firmly.

No problem.

And so, Anabelle and I spent the next minutes enthusiastically speaking to Pedro who didn't fail us by picking on the first ring.

Unknown to the guard, I blocked out other calls that came in secretly.

No one would stop me today.
