Chapter Fourty - Five : There\'s Beauty In Chaos
Isabella\'s POV
I shook my head staring at Emily and Annabelle, the two were bickering about the movie they binge-watched at Maya\'s place. Idiots.
Talking of Maya.
She seem pretty decent, She wasn\'t as dumb as Annabelle neither was she smarter than me - Maya\'s perfect.
Moreover, she has Sir Nik wrapped around her fingers - even though he won\'t admit it . But it\'s good to know I can easily manipulate Maya who has Sir Nik at her beck and calls ; she doesn\'t even know her power.
I sighed and tsk, the both couples were idiots - the man doesn\'t know he\'s in love with the lady and the lady doesn\'t want to acknowledge the man\'s in love with her.
But it was fun watching their cat and mouse game, just a little boring since I can\'t predict how long it\'ll last.
Sir Nik has been changing and I can tell it\'s because of Maya, she was making him soft, slowly killing him from the inside and he doesn\'t even know that.
Truthfully, Maya is not the best company to hang out with : She\'s like a ray of sunshine. Unfortunately, I\'ve being introduced to the family business and totally understand we\'re the darkness. Light and darkness can never exist together, one must conquer or be conquered.
" Izzy " Annabelle the bimbo called me and I turned to face her.
"What? " came my cold reply.
" I heard grandpa bought another island for you?" She inquired with this twinkling eyes that made me frown, she was probably about to ask me for a favour.
Humans were pretty predictable
" So? "
" Can I have a little tour with my - "
" No " I interjected before she could finish her statement.
"Come-on Izzy " Emily joined in the persuasion "It\'s just a little tour, huh? "
"I\'m sorry but my island is not an amusement park " I deadpanned without blinking an eye.
Emily stared at me in disbelief before shaking her head pathetically " Tut Tut, Like father like daughter "
"Why can\'t you be nice for once? " Annabelle whined and I rolled my eyes.
"This is my nicest form " I retorted and stepped out of the car. We\'ve arrived at grandpa\'s house already and I couldn\'t wait to see him.
My grandfather was the person that challenges my intelligence the most save Sir Nik, but everything about him intrigues me, he\'s my most trusted confident ever since my mom died.
"Grandpa!" Annabelle screamed from behind and ran into his open arms as soon as we stepped into the large living room.
"My little pumpkin ! " He exclaimed and swept her off her feet, threw her up in the air and caught her as she fell, his muscles rippling with strength while Annabelle screamed and giggled in delight.
I snorted, she was totally converting my grandpa.
Technically speaking, Annabelle\'s is the grandniece here - her late grandfather and my own grandfather were siblings .
"Isabelle " Grandpa smiled at me once he let Annabelle down. I gave him a short warm hug while Emily pecked him on both cheeks.
"Hello papa, how was your night ?" Emily greeted and asked right away.
"It was well spent " Came his answer but I knew he was lying, I could see it written clearly all over his face ; perhaps, I\'m the only one in the family who could read him well.
"And you trio look joyous, from whence cometh you? " He asked us but I scoffed inwardly.
What game was my grandpa playing this time? Even though the ignorant relatives in front of me might not know this, but it\'s an obvious fact that grandpa has his eye on everybody.
He has his men everywhere, looking out and protecting us hence, how he gets his info\'s - he\'s watching everyone and probably knows where we went last night.
" We had a sleepover at our Nanny\'s place -It was so awesome, and oh, we had a lot of fun! we drank and ate" She yakked without realizing I had already set a trap for her in the long-run.
"Even Izzy joined in the fun and it was a total blast " Annabelle continued her high-pitched chattering and I cringed inwardly.
She didn\'t even realize grandpa had stopped listening and was giving out orders at the servants while Emily was absentminded - the perfect time to accomplish my plan.
" Netflix and chill? " I inputted in an undertone and she foolishly borrowed my words.
"Yeah, we totally Netflix and chill " She said aloud to the other\'s horror.
Emily went red in the face while my grandpa stared at her bewildered and the servants around him stunned.
As dumb as Annabelle is, she too realized something was wrong.
" D-did I do something wrong? " She asked softly, not liking the way everyone was staring at her.
No, you didn\'t do anything wrong, sweetheart : You said something wrong, dumbass! I snickered inwardly.
This would be fun to watch.
"Who taught you that? " Grandpa asked with a stern voice.
Annabelle flinched, and then turned to me with an aggrieved look but unfortunately, my silicone earbud was fixed into my ears since her chattering began - Don\'t ask whether the music is playing or not?
" What? " I asked with a blank face " Why are you all staring at me like that? " I asked, putting on a confused expression and further removed an earphone from my ear which perfectly insinuated I was oblivious to what\'s going on.
"I-I... I " Annabelle tried to speak but she couldn\'t seem to find the right words to use, a huge thanks to my intense orbs staring straight at her\'s - the warning was clear.
Left with no choice, Annabelle began to bawl her eyes out, so loud and uncontrollably like a child deserted by its mother while I nonchalantly reattached my earphones to my ear; I was already used to it.
I sat on a nearby sofa and crossed my legs while Aunt Emily was busy coaxing the crybaby and Grandpa ordering for her favorite smoothie to be prepared for her.
I slowly leaned back on the sofa piled with cushions and sighed in contentment while the music now playing directly into my ears, helped blocked the noise - There\'s beauty in chaos.
