Chapter 31: The Prisoner’s Gambit

IZZY POV

"You need to learn how to use your brain right now. I think this is why your father doesn't like you. You are a bitch! Definitely not the wise one that you think yourself of though."

I snapped my head up, looking at Durk now retreating body.

"Says the man who kidnap me and trapped me in a room. And you had the audacity to speak bad about me in that manner!"

His words were fucking hurtful and no matter how hard I tried, it wasn't what I had planned for myself.

I wanted to kill him, and I would have done it except thst under fucking armless.

I need to get out of here or this would get even more crazier than it is right now.

But how? This place was thoroughly fortified with guards and guards dogs. Not to mention that it was surrounded by a body of water.

Which means the only way I can escape the guards would be living by air.

Where would I get an helicopter or airplane to help me escape? This is giving harder and I was having a migraine about it already.

Selene is fucking smart for bringing me a place like this, I mean. I wouldn't have thought of this at all.

"You are quiet because you are planning something stupid on how to leave here again. But don't do anything because I wouldn't hesitate to let my guards use you as a meal," Selene said, and I snapped my head up with confusion written all over my face.

I haven't noticed when she walked in, neither when she had took a seat.

"You can't read my thoughts and that's an awful fail, I'm thinking of how uncomfortable and horrible this place you kept me is.

You know, at least for my status." I said, and she smiled, looking up at me with her hands moving about on my face.

And oh, that you are kinda very crazy and your quietness is unsettling." I added.

The sound of her chuckling filled the air and I looked back at her with a scorn.

She smiled, looking up from the floor like I had complimented her in the most sweetest way ever.

"That's the most nicest thing any human have ever said to me. You see, I know how terrible this place is. I know very well, but I can't help and let you be easily taken away from me. I have worked so hard trying to get you.

It would be the only way I would get to my brother, and if you can't realize this. But I would say it anyway, you are his mate. And no matter how much he tries, you are going to be his weakness."

Me? How is that possible.. infact right now. I think she has the wrong woman at hand.

"I think you have found the wrong Izzy, because your own brother whom you think loves me sent my friends nudes to the net and threatened to send mine too.

So you need to think again. If that's where your thoughts are lining towards," I said, and she smiled walking close to me with a smile on her face.

"I know what I'm saying and you shouldn't bother about that. Stay and you would find out what I'm saying," she said, sitting down beside me as she faced the descending sun.

She was beautiful aside her psychotic being, which was very scary even though I was still fucking obsessed with her, and she smiled looking back at with a sad expression in her face.

"You know, I would teach you how to mask your expression as soon as I'm done with you and taking over from my brother. You should be ready to have more lesson or this would bad for you," she added,and I looked away with a smile on my face.

She was driving right into my plan and I couldn't wait until she is directly beneath me so I can get everything together.

"I know, I know that you hate me," she said. " But if you understand what I went through. I wanted to be sure that It's was just a mistake. But it wasn't, though it had planned it all along to pull me down," she said, and she smiled.

Getting up to my feet, and I crossed over until she was facing me directly.

Her green eyes were gleaming with emotions she was trying so hard to contain. It wasn't pain anymore, it was something even more deeper and I had felt something like that before.

This wasn't the first time and it wouldn't be the last,at least not until I'm able to get my inheritance and my father's blessing.

"You should have tried asking him to know if this is part of his plans , or he was forced into getting all that while you were wrote off as a loser of a daughter," I asked, and she looked up.

Her eyes on me and I chuckled, I had gotten her right where she wouldn't want to explain or she would leave.

Like she did the last time. Like everyone did when I confront them.

" You think I'm rushing into a decision only because I have thought I have been hurt? Is that what you thought?" She asked, smiling and I looked away with my hands neatly tucked into my waist.

"Yes."

" Okay."

And she stood up, walked away quietly but I was able to hear her sniffling.

I followed her, luckily for me there was no guards around. She must have asked them to go away, which meant she wanted to say something.

Something I didn't let her say. Fuck, maybe I'm the problem.

" Wait, Selene. Please!" I called, but she ignored me until I couldn't take it anymore and I yelled out what I shouldn't

have said.

What should have stayed between Durk and I.

"What did he do to hurt you?"

She stopped. Looking back at me with a smile on her face.
