Chapter 26: Betrayal; not from my father.

IZZY POV:

I blinked rapidly, watching her chest heave up and down when she looked away from me.

“You are joking? You are sure that you aren't hallucinating? You mean you actually brought the idea of that to make me feel scared of you or what?” I asked, looking away when she flinched like I was some sort of monster.

“I understand that everything seems strange but you need to believe me..he is!"

“You need to leave if you are here to mock me or make me feel worse about my current situation!" I screamed, and she smiled.

“I know you won't believe me, but I'm qvery damn serious. You need a proof that he's one of that? Sure, I have proofs of him switching when he was leaving your house that night.

I had left cameras in many streets, but I didn't know he would be caught in it. You can't ask why, but you should see it!”

She walked over to me and I rolled my eyes, she opened her camera and a video popped into the screen.

There Luca was, sneaking from my room after taking my pics like he was some sort of maniac who haven't seen a human body.

“He's……a werewolf? I have read those in books while I was locked in my room by my father, he was…….a real werewolf.

Then why is he here? How did his sister get killed by my father! All this is making me go crazy already!”

"I told you. I told you, he's coming for you next. And your father isn't dead, we noticed it from the blood.

He's letting this happen to teach you a lesson that you should always listen to him no matter what as he knows the best thing for you!”

"”Father is alive? That's a lie, I saw him being shot by Matteo, I know what I saw and you need to make me feel I'm going crazy.

I touched him and I could feel him was dying. I know he was dying and you don't need to say anything please…”

" But he's alive and he sent me after making me get into a deal with him.

He wants you to be the Mafia princes he had tried bringing up and not some obsessed female.

He knows Luca was up to no good, hence why he ahd let you go through all that to brush you up?”

I finally understood what he had been trying to do. He was looking out for me, and I have even been such a fool.

So he was trying to help me, and I have been such a headstrong woman.

Now, look at where it landed me. I had lost everything I thought.

“He was trying to help me? And I have screwed up everything up. “Where is he? Please, I'm ready to be the fierce lioness he wanted me to be!”

Serene smiled weakly, she looked like she was about to faint. But she masked it up immediately like she was perfectly fine.

If she thinks I would be letting that slide then she would be funniest clown I have ever seen.

“What's wrong with you? Why are you whimpering? Don't tell me nothing! I want to know what's wrong with you or I would find out the way I want..”

She panicked a little bit, pulling her hands away from eirene who had this sick look of a dying human.

Werewolf rather.

“I can't tell you and please don't stress about it. I won't speak and you'd be delaying yourself if you want to keep finding out what happened to me.

Your father is waiting for you. A chauffeur is at the door, we need to leave! Now!” She snapped, and I nodded.

" I'm letting this slide for now but don't think I won't want to know what's wrong with you!”

With that I walked out of the inn, looking around to avoid being caught by Luca.

I was definitely sure his men would be on the lookout for me.

To know if I had been fine or committed suicide, not like he wanted that.

He would do anything to make sure that I'm still alive to take the shame.

Nothing would stop him from getting revenge on my father. But he would be a fucker to think I wouldn't strike even as a ghost.

I'd do everything it takes to bring him down to his feet, untill he is nothing but ruins.

That's what he gets for messing with a Mafia princess like me.

“Where is my father? Why can't I get a location and why are you comfortable working for him like you know him a lot more than I do.

What's going on here?"

“ You are getting too annoyed, filled with rage and it won't help you actually. Rather you would prefer calming your head down so you would understand what is actually going on.

I was surprised that you weren't able to recognize me even though you have been seeing my brother,” Serene said, and I looked up.

That sardonic smile.

It was the same as Luca.

She was his sister? And she let him go this mad without telling him that she was alive.

" Why are you doing this with your brother? What do you want? The empire? Money? Name your price and I would get it to you as soon as possible.

But you would have to let me go. This is choking me right now.

I can't stand it and I don't want to continue with all this. I wasn't built for such stress!”

With that tears tricked down from my face. I had just thought that I had gotten a new friend but here she was.

Betraying me by being the very person destroying everything I held dear and still feeling thirsty for more.

“Ironic isn't it eirene?" But eirene didn't say anything in return, no wonder she was shaking back at the inn.

“You were a bad actor though, I was expecting it so well. Aren't we the sand species? Shouldn't we be looking out for each other?

If be getting rid of you as soon…….” she trailed off when a car swerved and stopped abruptly at the front of the vehicle we were in.

“Who the fuck is that? Isn't he seeing the signs on the road? Shits like that risks people's live!" She cursed, and I looked down at the gun she had been

pointing at us.

Using her own words; ironic. She had killed far more than that car would ever be able to in its all manufactured life time.

Looking out of the window and there he was.

That fool.

My father!
