Chapter 30: Deception

IZZY POV

The sunlight rays struck my eyes and I turned my head away from the sight.

Where am I? And how did it turn from night to day in a few seconds?

I slowly began to realize where I was and anger surged through my veins.

“Why are you both binding me and looking at me like I'm some sort of junk or prize?” I asked,looking at them with a scorn on their face.

But the scorn was replaced with laughter as they rolled away with it like I had just made the amusing joke ever.

“You think you are scary right? Funny though, as a princess to a big Mafia Don. You are pretty cute like a Disney princess and not hard like a Mafia princess,” Durk said, and I looked away pissed..

I have always been told that like I choose to be like this, it was a curse especially when I should exude toughness and power.

“You think I would want to believe this when I can look like you? You must be a joker and dumb unlike how I had thought of you!” I spat, Selene titled her back shrugging like an unbothered queen..

Though I might not agree, she was.

“This isn't funny though, I need to be untied. I'm not a prisoner, if anything I walked into your car without force.

I expect to be treated with at least little courtesy!" J yelled, and Selene nodded.

Durk untied me and I breathed out like he had been holding my breath. .

“You look terrible, oh my goodness. You have only been tied for two hours and your hands look like you have been tied for about two years with a metal cuff!". Selense said, dropping her cigarette into its tray as she made it for me.

Taking my hands up and I got to have a glance if her face, she had been crying and I wanted nothing more than asking why.

But remembering what she had done to me,I quickly went over it. Maintaining the most stoic expression I could muster.

“You can ask questions. I know you must hate me so much, but you need to understand that I would never hurt you.

I don't even want to have anything bad to do with you, but I need to teach my brother a lesson and take back my inheritance as the first child and heiress!"

I felt bad for her knowing that she couldn't get what she deserves only because she was a child.

“But why did you have to run away rather than fighting for what you believed is rightly yours. It makes you look like you are trying to usurp what he got.”

She breathed in like she was trying to contain her annoyance. Walking backwards and I looked down at my scathing red wrist.

I needed an ointment or it would get worse, the mark would stay long and take longer time to dissolve.

It was only my blood clotting due to the lack of space to move.

“You think I didn't try hard to make him understand that? Do you really think so? That I would intentionally try to make myself look foolish?" She asked, looking at the window with her pupils moving about like she was trying to hold her tears in.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

But to be careful, I can't still tell who was at fault between her unknown feud.

More likely to be her,as she was the fiery ball that won't stop and wanted everything her own way.

“Then how do I come in? What am I doing here? I do understand the game you are playing but I do know for sure that you are the one at fault based on what you just did to me,” I said, looking away to avoid her gaze as she had turned towards me.

" Right. I guess that's all for tonight. Enjoy your room. The maids would get you a platter of food to pick from.”

And with that she walked out of the room without looking backward. I felt bad for what I had said to her but I couldn't stop her and apologize.

But fuck that! She should feel what she just did to me.

“You don't know what's going on now, and the least you should be doing now would be keeping your mouth shut!” Durk snapped, I flinched, getting reminded of his presence.

I had thought he left earlier.

" You want me to feel sorry for her? After what she did to me?” I asked, not believing my ears.

He walked close to me, making me move back with fear until I couldn't move an inch more or I would be on the floor.

“You don't know her or what she has been through. You don't know the struggles and you think Luca is right?

Have you tasted his dick? Maybe that's why you are acting this way. You think even dumber than I was told!” he said, and he chuckled violently.

I had to look towards the door to be sure someone was going to help me if he tries anything funny.

And there he was. Smirking, when I blinked again to confirm my sight.

I noticed he wasn't standing there anymore. It was a fragment of my imagination and nothing more.

“Can you move back? You are too close.and I don't like it. Don't give me the choice to push you back!” I yelled, and he chuckled even more like I was some toddler threatening to beat him.

And I did, I pushed him away with all my strength and he fell back on his ass.

A look of surprise quickly spread on his face, as he looked up with a subtle smile on his face.

Bet he wasn't expecting that from me.

“Wow, you are full of surprises. Who could have guessed that you had all that i

n you?” He says, wiping his butt as I stared at my hands in confusion..

That was new, I was feeling stronger like I had been injected with some pills!

" Wait. That's new?”
