Chapter 554 - Five Hundred And Fifty-four: Calm Me Down (2/2)

Pedro: If you say so then.

There was a moment of silence between them before Isabella resumed her typing

Isabella: I hate it here

Pedro: Why? It doesn't seem that bad to me. I mean, the food here is to die for.

Isabella: Ugh! You and Anabelle are the same. I mean, can't you sense it? The oppressive feeling in the air? We are all like puppets played by the puppet master.

Pedro: * sends laughing emoji *

Isabella: That is not funny at all.

Pedro: You should chill, you're just overreacting. Moreover, this is a monarchy, and please don't say these words to someone else before they think you're plotting treason against the…

A knock sounded on the door, drawing her attention.

”Come in,” Anabelle said before Isabella could even react.

At once, the door opened and Mrs. Jacqueline came in.

Isabella's eyes widened with accusation, what is that woman doing here.

”Excuse me, ladies, but lights out at ten,”

”What?!!” Anabelle even shouted alongside her stunned cousin, Isabella.

”You have a lot to do tomorrow and for that, you have to rest your body on time to be efficient,”

”No, no, no,” Isabella couldn't take it anymore, ”Don't you dare touch that light switch…” She was still saying when darkness descended on them.

”Oh no, you didn't!” Isabella fumed and was about to climb down her bed to give that woman a piece of her angry mind when the door closed, Jacqueline left.

Isabella began to laugh, like laugh hysterically to the point Anabelle became scared that Jacqueline's actions might have broken her dear cousin.

”Isabella, you're scaring me,” Anabelle pleaded.

”You should be scared because I'm pissed! Pissed beyond my fucking mind!” her chest heaved.

At once, Isabella called Pedro and he picked at the first ring.

”Calm me down!” she ordered.

Isabella was losing count of the many reasons she shouldn't let loose her inner beast.

”Look out the window,” Pedro said.

Isabella rolled her eyes, ”That is not helping me at all,”

”Just look out the window, drama queen,”

Isabella's brows furrowed, her senses beginning to function once again amid the cloud of anger. Could it be…..

At once, Isabella went over to the window area and opened the large casement window only to sight Pedro outside. Her heart leaped for joy and a smile crossed her face, she forgot all about the incident instantly.

”What are you-!” Isabella was about to say to him when Pedro made a silencing gesture and she understood the situation instantly. They might get discovered.

So they just stared at each other, communicating their feelings for each other through their loving tender gazes.

Suddenly, Pedro made a circular gesture around his heart and then used his palm to form the shape of love, before sending it to her.

Isabella giggled at his foolishness yet found herself returning the gesture.

”Hey, who's there?!” a guard suddenly shone a torchlight in Pedro's way.

”Got to go. Love you. Sleep tight,” Pedro hurriedly blew a kiss to her before fleeing while Isabella shut the window, leaned against it, and began to giggle to herself. She has finally lost her mind.
