Chapter 507 - Five Hundred And Seven: That Little Thing Never Sees The Limelight (1/2)

The third point of view:

”What?!” Isabella was stunned out of her mind and apparently, she wasn't the only one startled as well since the others had similar shocked expressions. Like who does that? Put a tracker on their kid.

Isabella's mind began to function a mile per minute as she assessed her brain. When had Niklaus put a tracker in her? When was the last time she had a dental appointment? How hasn't she noticed? She couldn't remember having dental surgery? It seems her father was always one step ahead of her.

”Of course, I'm pulling your leg,” Niklaus smiled at her and for once, Isabella pulled a relived breath, her heart pounding against her chest. That wasn't funny one bit.

But was that really a joke? She couldn't help but wonder. Niklaus was a nut job, it wouldn't startle her if he really went through it. Seems she had no choice but to check it when she returns. It always pays to be careful.

”I don't need to track you down to know that the only place you would hide is Maya's place where Eden would never think of. Moreover, I own the building. What makes you think I wouldn't notice someone moved in no matter how much you bribed my security,” He said to her.

”I wasn't bribing him, I simply…. ” She scratched the back of her head, ”You know, helped out in looking after Maya's place. You're not the only one who has a special tether to the building,” Isabella couldn't even believe her own lie.

”Anyway,” Niklaus waved it aside, ”Pack your bag, we're leaving,” he dropped the not so welcomed news.

”What?!” Isabella paled. No, this was what she dreaded. He can't just take her away from the others, they were in this together.

”I meant all of you,” Niklaus added as if he read her inner turmoil.

Everyone's jaw dropped, they weren't expecting this. In the worst scenario, they imagined all of their parent's coming to take them one after the other.

”Unless of course, you want Eden to do the job, and trust me, he's not as enthusiastic as I am right now,” Niklaus checked his wristwatch, ”You have less than thirty minutes before he blocks all possible routes in and out of here,”

Isabella was furious, ”You told him about our location?! I can't believe you”.

”I didn't need to do anything after your friends literally gave out your location,” Niklaus handed his phone to her.

”Anabelle!” It played the footage of Julie going after Anabelle the time she took off during the competitive eating. Apparently, someone had caught it on camera.

”Right now, I bet Eden has seen the video and it's trying to map out your location. It won't be long before he figures Maya's place had been the missing puzzle all this while. So it's up to you,” Niklaus referred to all of them because whether they agreed or not, he's leaving with Isabella, ” You can choose to come with me and spend the night over at my place. Come morning, we settle whatever it is going on with you guys or you can choose to stay, try to run, or something,”
