Chapter 12

Isabella’s POV

It’s been days since I heard any news about Alessandro, the last thing I had heard about him was that he tried to release me from hell’s pit and ever since then I haven’t heard a word from Octavia or any of the other girls here. I don’t even speak to any one of the girls here because of how they stare at me after Octavia had openly talked about Alessandro coming to save me. 

I haven’t been called upon either and it seems like they were keeping me for something special because most of the girls here have been out of the cell more than three times already. Each time I hear the clicking sound of Octavia heels and the jiggling of the bell, I am either praying to not be called upon and if it happens to be me then it should be me going to the arms of Alessandro but ever since that day my hopes had died so now I just pray for me not to be the girl that would be picked my Octavia. 

I rest my head on the walls of the cell, staring blankly at the metal gates. Nowadays I just find myself in my thoughts thinking of the day that I might eventually gain freedom which might be never but my thoughts are allowed to think big and my wolf is free to purr everytime she thinks of Alessandro. 

Just as I was about to shut my eyes I heard the clicking sound of Octavia’s heels and of course the jiggling of the keys. I sighed internally not ready to see the lady who has made it a duty to become the ton in my flesh. The sound reduced and I raised my head up to see that she had reached my cell gate and she had an evil smile on her lips.

“Just the person I want to see” she said smirking at me and her voice dripped with sarcasm, she did not make an attempt to open the gates of the cell and this time around she did not come with a guard so it could only mean one time. Which was, she came to taunt me.

“You have caused so much chaos in the underworld this past few days and you’re what?” She asked looking as her eyes risked through my body from head to toe “just a breeder, who got sold by her family” she chuckled lightly.

I could feel the gaze of the other girls on me, I could tell that they held questions in their head and they were wondering what this new chaos was about because I hace not left the cells since the first time I got assigned to the Don. I had questions too but I knew I was going to find out what the situation was sooner because that is obviously why Octavia is outside the cells, to let me know of what my presence what doing on the other side of freedom.

“I bet y’all know want to know what your colleague over here is doing and the trouble she has been causing outside the four corners of this walls” she said turning to the other inmates who were just looking at her wuth a little bit of fear in their eyes.

“Your little friend here is going to cause Don Lucifer to step down as the king of the south..” she said sounding a little bit disgusted, her expression looked like someone who had just seen a horrid sight come into view “she must think of herself as one special being” Octavia said again with venom.

I was still trying to process what she had said even though I had heard every word she mentioned without even missing a bit. What does she mean by the Don stepping down from his position of being king of the south? And what does she mean by he is stepping down because of me? What role am I playing in this transaction? My eyes roamed Octavia’s face waiting for her to continue what she came all the way to the prison cell to discuss because she was obviously not here to pick up girls.

She caught me staring at her and her gaze broke into an icy glare “you have the eyes to see but yet you could not recognize that the Don is way above your league, you better start confessing.. I need to know the kind of voodoo you used on Don Lucifer that would make him go to any length to have you free from this place” she spat, I could feel the irritation and anger in her voice. I looked at my side to see to look at my fellow inmates and I saw them shifting away from me, did they really belive that I used voodoo on the Don.

“I… I… I did not use voodoo on him” I said quietly “I did nothing to him” I continued in my quiet tone, my habds had became shaky and it was also sweaty. I am a bit nervous now “I did nothing to him” I said again a bjt audible for Octavia to hear.

Octavia burrr info a fit of laughter “what did this little test just say? What did she just spit from that lying mouth of hers? You will be the reason why Don Alessandro would step down from being the kind of the south and you’re here lying about not knowing anything about it”

Before I knew what was happening I started to hear the jiggling of the keys again, Octavia was bringing out the keys from the pouch she had on her waist and she is now tryung to open the gate “you know what? I should have had you punished when this whole thing happened but you were lucky to escape me but today will be that unlucky day for you”.

Just as she was about opening the gate, I started hearing the sound of heavy boots from the hallways “what is happening here, Octavia?”
