Chapter 65 - Impossible

Susan’s POV.

It was morning and Isabel wasn’t still found. My brother Devan had reversed his flight while on air back to DarkVille to come to her rescue. Christo and the rest of the guards had also dealt so dearly with the wolves at Hilton. I was just coming out of the shower in my room when my phone rang, I looked and it was Calli.

“Hello, Victor.” She called trying to render appraisals to me on the recent kill.

“Please could you stop that, we still have a situation here, you would have waited on my signal before taking the kill instead you went ahead to kill her, now see the tension, a potential war could be around the corner,” I said with the towel wrapped around my waist.

“Susan, Chill, all this was your plan from the onset, you were the one who wanted her dead and now she is, and you’re being scared.”

“I am not scared of anyone Calli, I am only scared of the things that would happen now that she’s dead, we needed to have her kidnapped and tortured for a while and find out a lot about her, we still have the mystery of the phone number saved on her cell, P. Sydalg, and also Fiona, we haven’t yet known the connection she had with her.”

“What fucking connection do we need, she was the primary target and now she’s eliminated, that’s something we all took weeks to get all planned and look, she’s dead, and there’s no one standing in your way now as the next in line after your brother.”

“What? Are you mad? Can’t you see he has a daughter?”

“She is just 3, that wouldn’t be a problem.”

“Calli I can now see you’re out of your god damned mind, what the fuck are you talking about? I never told you I wanted to wipe my brother’s lineage, I only wanted to get rid of that fool.”

“And now she’s out of your way. How is Devan?”

“He is in the living room, last I saw him he just kept on thinking, Christopher and the rest of the pack are out searching for her if they’ll find any trace or perhaps get her scent.”

“Don’t bother dear, be rest assured her body is in the right hands.”

“Calli, She Isn’t just the…” I heard a noise which came from the living room. Seems people shouted for joy and rejoiced. I ended the call, put on my clothes and rushed out to the gallery.

There she was, in big hugs with Devan who cried bitterly. Isabel turned to me with a smile and a long glance while I stood at the gallery. I stood in shock and had my mouth open halfway till the phone in my hands fell to the ground and that got the attention of the rest of the people including Devan.

“Sister, come on, come and take a look, she’s back and in one piece, no scratch.”

Yes, No Scratch. I wondered because her dress was as good as new, just like it was when she arrived at the party yesterday. I however rushed down and embraced her.

“Sister? It’s good you’re home, we searched for you everywhere and didn’t find you, what happened to you?” I asked, looking straight into her eyes like she was an actual ghost.

“It’s a long story but for now I think I’ll need a shower and a nice meal please.”

‘How is this possible? I was on video call when Calli turned the camera of the phone on her lifeless body, this was actually the second time Isabel had double-crossed me and won, was she a ghost? Or is there something about her that we don’t know yet? Honestly, this was the most mysterious thing I have ever witnessed in my life.

“Isabel, you need to at least speak to me in one word, what happened?” Devan asked, being so curious.

“Well, yesterday at the party I felt so energetic and danced on the floor before someone whispered to me, I followed and next, I felt a syringe pierce through my neck and that was all, next I found myself locked in a vehicle with no one in it, I used that opportunity and made for the run.”

“What?! Do you mean someone tried to adopt you again? The Hilton Wolves have me to contend with, no wonder they desired our presence so dear and for a very long time. Someone please call Christopher and his team, and tell them to retire back to the Mansion, my wife has been found and we need to celebrate, after which, we plan for a reckoning.” Devan commanded as the maids led Isabel to her chambers to have her ready for the feast which was to take place in a few minutes.

I couldn’t realize the damage which had happened to my phone. It was an iPhone 14 pro, I turned it and the screen was all shattered, but that wasn’t a problem, I walked into my room and placed an order for a new one, thanks to the moon goddess, our family is amongst the top richest in the country so I had nothing to worry about because I had the cash. The thought of Isabel filled my head and I decided I put a call through to Calli again.

“Hello, Baby girl, how come you ended the call that way minutes ago? What’s up?”

“Callister, the person you and Jason had on the ground all covered in blood, who was that?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Answer me Calli, and don’t think you both would trick me, so was this how you guys planned the whole thing? I told you I needed to have the kill myself, and you both still went on to take her down even without my consent?”

“Susan, are you out of your mind? What the bloody hell is wrong with you?”

“Nothing is wrong with me; I am just disappointed at you both for playing me like a fool.”

“Are you high or something, you were the one who lured her to us and the person you brought to us was whom Jason slayed, why are you acting this way? Is there a problem?”

I exhaled from the other side of the phone.

“Isabel just came home today, this morning.”

“What?”

“As I speak with you, she’s in the living room with Devan, and she’s whole and hearty, Calli, I mean, she’s without a scratch…”
