The New Scheme

The New Scheme
“My plan?” he said to her. “This is the plan I've mapped out and this plan I thought about is something very huge. Something they wouldn't even be able to escape from because we'll catch them in a very tight spot. We have to be very careful with this plan. We wouldn't give them any breathing space for them to be able to come out of it. Because before they even realize anything is happening, we would have been able to close in on them without even giving them any chance to come out of our plan,” he said. 

“And Lily, before you know it, James will be yours and Isabella will be mine for me to take revenge,” he said to Lily as she looked at him intently.

“Now here's the plan. What I'm going to do right now is that I'm going to kidnap Isabella. Because that's the only way to force her into getting married to me. I'm going to kidnap her and get married to her. Then I'm taking her out of this country. I'm leaving this place for good where nobody would be able to find us. Only me and Isabella. We would be able to live our life peacefully without any James or Lily or anybody trying to even appear or know where we are,” he said. 

“I'm going to take her far away from anybody. I would have to isolate myself without any interruption,” Alex said as Lily just stood there frozen, looking. She looked at him puzzled. 

“Wow. So this is your brilliant plan. This is your very big plan, right?” she laughed sarcastically, unable to hold the laughter anymore. She just continued laughing as Alex sat there looking at her, wondering, 

“Why are you laughing? Why are you acting like a crazy maniac? What's funny? Isn't the plan better than yours? This plan is going to work no matter what,” he said to her as they just kept on laughing, not knowing what to say. 

She just kept on laughing, and then finally she stopped laughing, sat down comfortably, and looked at Alex. “Wow. So this is how brilliant you are. This is what you could come up with,” she said to him. “I just hope your plan works out. So after everything Isabella has done to you, after she cheated on you, this is the revenge you want to get? It just clearly shows that you are still in love with Isabella.” 

She said to Alex, “And that simply shows that you are weak. You cannot have revenge on Isabella. You can't even make her life a living hell. You were just saying all those things. You still really love Isabella, and it clearly shows on your face.” 

“I know. And that's the reason why I want to get married to her and take her out of this country for good,” Lily mimicked him, mocking him as Alex was already getting angry as Lily was making fun of him. 

“Just shut up already, Lily. Yes, I still love Isabella. And do you really think I really wanted to hurt someone that I love? I'm not like you that will hurt someone that you love. I love Isabella and I'm going to get married so I’ll take her out of this country. That way, you'll be able to have James to yourself. Once Isabella is out of the picture, James wouldn't have any option but to be with you. And whatever you do with him doesn't concern me. My only problem is that I'll kidnap Isabella, get married to her, and leave this country,” he said. 

“You know that sounds good. I just hope your plan works out. All I just want from you is just to take your stupid princess in and leave this country for good. Take her far away from my dreams so that James would be mine only,” she said to him. 

“So how is my plan? Is it better than yours?” 

“So now the only thing I need you for and the only reason why I came running to you was because I've never done this before. I've never ever kidnapped anybody, and I know you are an expert. There's nothing you don't know and nothing you can't do. Seeing as your dad is very rich, you must know some experts that kidnap. So I want you to arrange them for me, and I'm ready to pay,” he said to Lily as Lily just looked at him. 

“Yes, I told you before, I'm the brain behind everything and I'm the mastermind. Without me, none of your plans are going to work out. Just shut up already and do what I asked you to do. 

“You don't have to brag. After all, I'm the one that brought up this plan. Without me, this plan wouldn't have come up. Without you, I wouldn't be able to execute my plan. So it's a 50-50. We are both in this together, and if we don't join hands together, this plan won't work out.” Alex said

“Okay fine. I know I need your help, and that's why you are doing this to me. So, but I for one, I won't beg. If you want to help me, help me, and if you don't want to, just leave. Ready?” Lily said. 

“I am not threatening you. I'm just telling you the facts. You don't have to turn everything over,” Alex said. “Calm down a bit.” 

“Okay fine. I'm going to call someone I know right now.” As she picked up her phone and walked out of Alex's presence, she immediately made a phone call. 

“I said make sure everything is ready. I'll get in touch with time and date later and I want you to use a good location where the police will be able to track,” she said into the speaker as she ended the call. 

“Immediately I went back to Alex. Everything is planned out. You just have to give me the time and the date, and it should go smoothly. Okay?” 

“It's fine. But I have to know a schedule. You know that nowadays she's always around James. We have to plan this out and do it. We can only take her when James is not there, when she's alone, when nobody will be able to know anything,” he said as she just nodded her head.
