Chapter 356 - Three Hundred And Fifty-six: Commander Isabella (1/2)

The third point of view :

”No, the young mistress shouldn't be awoken,” One of the maids who had walked into Isabella's room to clean up while she slept, met her phone ringing.

She put the phone in silent mode and when it continued ringing, switched the phone off entirely - the young miss would be in a better state to answer the call later.

And just like that, the maid ended the call Isabella had been waiting for desperately; the call from Pedro. If only Allen hadn't drugged her.

The next day.....

”Where was she?” Her memory was foggy and her eyelids were too heavy to peel open. Suddenly, it all came rushing in.

”Those little cockroaches!” Isabella bolted upright and got off the bed in a hurry, thereby inviting lightheadedness to take over. Her leg gave out and she supported herself with the bed until the dizziness wore off.

Recovered, she stood up with a grave smirk as she thought of one thousand ways of ending those kids - after killing them mentally already. But in her imagination, she kept reviving them over and over again - she wished that was possible.

”Allen! ” Isabella stormed over to their room, ”Ailee! Neon!” but their room was empty.

Her sinister smirk deepened. They must have awoken before her and knowing she would suck the life out of them, escaped before she could lay hands on them.

”You!” She spotted an unfortunate maid as the others dispersed, ”When did the kids wake?”

”N-not l-long ago,” the girl choked on her words. Sure, they had seen Isabella angry a lot of times, but today's anger was on another level. Especially with the fact she just woke up from sleep; with her head disheveled and flying from all directions, she looked like a female gorilla; everyone was scared of her - And please, let's not forget morning breath.

Abruptly, it crossed her mind, ”How long have I been asleep?” she asked the frightened girl.

”S-sixteen hours?” she hastily checked her watch.

”Sixteen hours?!” Isabella screamed, gripping her hair.

That meant sixteen hours of her life had been snatched away from her by those little imps. Sixteen hours of not knowing the whereabouts of Pedro! Sixteen fucking hours! She would rip them apart

”Where are they?!”

Without asking who she was referring to, the maid simply pointed downstairs and Isabella dashed down the stairs without second thoughts.

She never asked for devils! She only asked for cute-looking angelic siblings who she would dote on and train her way. Where in the world do you find kids like Allen and Ailee?!

”Ailee! Allen! Come the hell out before I -'' Isabella stopped short at the scene of Allen, Ailee, and Neon kneeling with their hands raised while Sakuzi supervised their punishment with Nadia by his side, as usual, typing away on her laptop.

But there was something different this time, there was a blush on her face and she occasionally spoke to him. They must have reconciled - mission accomplished. While internally hoping Reina keeps to her promise of rewarding them.

”Grandfather,” she muttered, a huge surprise on her face. Watching this scene, she didn't know whether to be happy karma caught up to them or be angry she didn't toast them alive by herself. And the kids look grateful she wasn't the one to.

”Grandmother,” She acknowledged their presence. Since Adam wasn't alive any longer, she might as well give them the love and attention. Moreover, Reina's father was extremely powerful, it wouldn't hurt to be on his good side.

”How are you feeling?” Sakuzi asked, concerned.

”Ungrateful for the involuntary sleep and wishing I could break the finger that shot me,” she grumbled.

Allen shivered, a light sheen of sweat suddenly breaking out on his face. Why was his sister scary?

”You don't have to worry, I'm taking them back to base,” He informed her.

”Base?” she was confused.

”My headquarters. I think they would be better controlled there instead of this limited space. I just replaced millions worth of properties just so my daughter doesn't find out,” He complained.

That comment made Isabella look around and she realized that indeed, a lot of things had been changed. What the hell had the kids done in here? Play football? Also, why was that multi-billionaire grandpa crying over a few million? She hoped he was not a stingy man because she was yet to do business with him and she loved generous people more.

”I'll be taking them along with me, it's been long since I put some discipline in them, but you can come along too if you want to,” He extended the invitation to her.

Isabella wanted to turn the offer down since she wanted to stay behind and search for Pedro. She needed to inquire the reason for his silence - hopefully he hadn't turned out to be a jerk. However, going to Sakuzi's base or headquarter - whatever he called it - might give her a greater chance of finding her MIA -missing in action - boyfriend since they must have enough resources to track him down.
