Chapter 441 - Four Hundred And Forty-one -: Time For Their Liberation (1/2)

The third point of view:

”What's your name?” Isabella asked the hitman who Miguel had placed as her escort. He was the same person her mother Reina had tried to poach. If only he had agreed to help them, the smile would have been slapped off Miguel's expression already.

”Jean,” He answered grumbly as if telling her his name was a huge task.

”You haven't hurt a kid before, right?” she asked, as soon as they reached her parent's bedroom.

Isabella has been observing him and so far, he wasn't like the rest of his cruel men - he was the only one with a moral code. He was obviously uncomfortable with the treatment being meted out on her mother Reina. If only there was a way she could draw him over to their side, it would be beneficial. As much as she and her siblings still had their element of surprise, they still needed a big guy with the guns.

Jean arched a brow at her, ”Do you want to taste that theory,” He hinted that she shouldn't test him.

Facing him, Isabella entered the room with her back, ”Surely, you have a daughter...”

His brows raised

”Or a wife?”

His second brow raised

”Or a girlfriend? Or grandmother? Or a loved one? But the point is, imagine us as one of them, would you let us die in the hands of that monster?”

Isabella persuaded him and for a moment there, she thought she had finally gotten to Jean until he said, ”Are you getting the phone or should I move your ass?”

Fine, Isabella decided she would make a risky move when the time comes. She believed somewhere that amid his firm demeanor, there was some good in his heart.

”I'm done,” Isabella announced as soon as she got the phone and both of them headed downstairs without saying a word to one another.

”Here, they are,” Miguel happily chirped, taking the phone from her grip and signaled Jean to hold her still so she doesn't try a funny move.

”Password,” He handed the phone over to Reina who didn't fight with him this time, and unlocked the phone - it seems she had a change of heart.

”Name?” he demanded, almost looking like a tax collector while strolling through her contacts as if his action wasn't an invasion of privacy.

”The beast,” Was Reina's reply.

”What?” Miguel didn't believe her.

”You heard me right the first time,”

”Seriously?” he was amused at the revelation, ”Don't you guys have some romance in your relationship or what?”

By the side, Isabella shook her head in pity for the asshole, if only he knew the hidden meaning behind that name.

”Well, beast it is,” He said and dialed the number. The phone rang only for a second before it was picked - Niklaus must really be anxious.
