Isabella woke up with the pounding feeling in her head. It took her a couple of minutes before she could finally open her eyes and when she did, bright sun rays hit her in the face so hard that she had to cover her eyes with her palm for a few minutes before she could see.
she could finally hear all the voice shouting and someone roughly tucked her by her Arm making her stand-up.
"Get up! The boss will be here any moment"
"Leave me! let me go! what the hell are you doing with me?" She shouted but paused when she realised that her was the only voice audible in the room.
Rest every other girl was complying stupidly to what ever the men were saying. After her forceful and loud shout it made all the men and the other girls in the room freeze and look at her in shock.
Like it's my fault that you are used to being kidnapped. Isabella mocked them all mentally.
"Shut up and stand straight" the tall lanky guy told her.
"Like the hell I would" she whimpered against his hold.
"Let me go" she shouted struggling against the lanky guys hold and finally managed to kick him in the nuts and started to run in the opposite direction when the door opened and a handsome hunk stepped in.
"My My the audacity to try and run away" he commented.
Isabella backed away a bit before answering.
"Well what do you Expect someone to do when they end up looking at an ugly face like yours" Isabella countered but her remark may have actually hurt the guy because his face looked extremely aggressive at the moment and he looked ready to hit her.
"Well unless and until you want a couple of bullet in your head because you pissed my cousin of in your first meeting I suggest stop struggling and stand straight" he said squeezing her arm bruisingly and she finally complied because it was hurting so bad.
"Mr Alex! Mr McCoy had ordered to not hurt any girl in any form" The lanky guy mumbled in a small voice which made the Alex guy leave her with a few curse words uttered.
She quickly rushed and stood at a corner with all the girls as the door was opened widely. Watching all the girls she imitated them and looked downwards.
Suddenly the aura of the room was so dark that she felt suffocated and it felt even more weird because she knew that somebody was looking her and every other girl in the room up and she couldn't see it for herself. She waited for few moments hoping that somebody would look up but nobody did so against her better judgement she looked up herself and when her eyes finally collided with the gblue ones the breath was knocked out of her, She could feel the man freeze in his place as well before he finally composed his face.
Marco froze as he looked in her eyes Before finally composing himself. It has been years since he last saw her And he was pretty sure that Jaden had committed some mistake because she was surely not supposed to be here and surely not with these girls.
"Hello girls my name is Marco McCoy and as you already know from the day today and forward I own you And from Today you are a part of this family so I suggest you all to comply and follow where my men ask you to" Marco commanded as all of them stayed quiet.
Isabella's entire body was frozen from shock. Those eyes reminded her of someone she didn't want to think about but in the current Scenario that was the last thing she was to think about.
This man right here claimed the entire group of girls standing beside her and none of them protested which meant that she was missing a huge ass chunk of information that everybody else in the room was aware of.
By now she was pretty clear that this person in front of her was surely not a priest at the church, he was a mob boss. But what she didn't knew was why nobody was protesting. Was he is so powerful and influential that each and every girl beside her had lost the hope to gain back their freedom.
"Everybody follow" A guy commanded and all the girls started following him quietly. Isabella wanted to protest but she feared that that might highlight her into Marco's eyes and that's what is the last thing she wanted so she quickly tried to blend inside the crowd and rush out.
"Wait" Marco's voice commanded and everyone froze.
Isabella was mentally shouting at everyone to start moving but somewhere in the back of her mind she had this feeling that he was going to stop them or her to be more particular.
The last time she had felt this nervous around someone was about three years ago. The similarity in their surnames made her worry but she decided not to dwell upon it when she realised that there are millions of people on this earth and two people having the same surname didn't necessarily mean that they were related.
She didn't knew what exactly made her highlighted in this man's eyes but something did. Because she could feel his eyes on her from the very moment of their gaze collided and now she regretted her choice of looking up even more. She said all the prayers in her head hoping that he wouldn't stop her.
"The girl in the black Hoodie stays, everyone else LEAVE!" He commanded.
Isabella looked all around hoping to see another girl with a black Hoodie on but found none of them as she looked up and saw him looking straight at her.
I watched as the stars twinkled on the bright night. Alone standing there made me realise how much significant change had been there in my life in last two years. Life never got easy did it? Two years ago I was telling Dexter that we will get through everything and anything After almost believing that he was dead. And as I stood here all alone looking at the stars from this cliff and the water beneath this height I couldn't help but wonder about him. Everything was hopeless when we found each other there was no clue how we were going to get through it. Marco hadn't woken up in three years and there was no guarantee that he ever will And yet we were still clinging to the full little hope that someday he might and then the two of us could I have forever for ourselves. For ever was the most forbidden concept for humans. Humans at the end of the day as we are, are mortal and perishable. It took me back to memory of a seminar that I attended once, there we talked about humans mortality
" you already know about Marco and Maria and how the two of them were having a child. maria wanted Marco to leave the mafia but that wasn't really possible so instead he took her on a vacation to enjoy the news but something went horribly wrong and the wrong people got the clue that the two of them were spending their time on the island. so he was attacked, the attackers killed Maria and almost killed Marco until he went to coma. and that was the day before Thanksgiving, it was my father calling me ...commanding me to come back because the mafia was my responsibility now. obviously I did not want to go back but that does not change a thing because I was abducted back into the world but then they didn't want the news to go round that Marco was in coma, so I was made to look like Marco since we were pretty much identical and I was to manage mafia instead of him until he wakes up which he did not from last three years." He explained."But you are in power now right? so if you wa
"You are right I have a lot of explaining to do but let's start with introducing you to my brother that is my older step- brother Marco McCoy"Isabella settled patiently at the couch ready for him to explain his story although she would have found it much better if Dexter just sat beside her but maybe he was not just ready to face her yet so he sat on the barstools just beside his brother's bed, looking at him with care and love as he started explaining the story. The only think Isabella couldn't understand was how could Dexter look at him the way he did when Marco and his mother had been nothing but brutal to him."Jacob McCoy! the asshole and unfortunately my father Had tricked Marcos mother into marrying him for a peace treaty that could gain him the power but you already know of that story by Robert.And if you were standing long enough outside that hospital door you would know that my supposed mother is drug addict, which meant that she was ready to s
"Isabella" he said in a shocked voice."You have a lot of explaining to do" she exclaimed folding her hand in a protective manner around her torso. It was maybe that action that made his eyes zero on her now injured and bandaged arm and in a second the worry was shining in his eyes."What happened to your hand?" He asked concerned."I'll be the one asking questions now" She growled before walking inside and dragging him outside the hospital with his hand in hers."Where are we going?" he asked once they were outside."I don't know" she said as she turned to look at him.It was like she was finally looking at him all over again. That face was the guy she had loved immensely, The only difference was his electric blue eyes and the beard covering his face.She tried to utter something, anything. She wanted to shout at him demanding answers about why he lied about his own death and claimed to have killed himself and yet the shock of everyt
Another month had passed and Isabella was better at keeping up with the classes right now because her parents were forced into the college one month ago when she did not go to talk to the professor herself. To say Her mother was disappointed would be an understatement, she was madly furious and threw all sorts of colourful words Isabella's way before her father had to drag her mother away but he did not leave before giving Isabella a disappointed look.Luckily Sante and Lucas did not know anything about this whole crisis but they did call her up later. Lucas was just worried about her health but Sante looked like she could almost relate to what ever Isabella was going through and told her older sister to be the big Great sister she always has been and not to think a lot about mom, dad or anyone or being a disappointment because right now the only priority was her mental health and not anything that made her feel like a failure.Isabella felt much better after talking w
"Kill them all" Marco commanded in the cold voice before taking the lift up to his penthouse.He could still feel faint smell of her lingering into the penthouse although it sounded insane since it had been three months since she left. But maybe Marco was actually going insane after losing her.Marco knew that he could have just told her the truth, removed the blue contacts and everything would be as clear as crystal And yet only he knew that he could not. There was a reason why he was Marco now and that was deadly enough not to just overthrow him and his entire non-existent family but all the mafia syndicates in the world.The only way to keep everything under control was him being Marco. He couldn't even explain it in words the feeling he feels it is hard when she confessed that she had indeed loved him all those years and that she still did, But he also knew that she loved Dexter and he was no longer Dexter, he was Marco and there was no getting away from it.
