Later at night, Helen went home and her bestie home as she welcomed her with a tight hug.
" Oh sweetie I missed you". Helen said tighten the hug.
"Am back, immediately you're done with those Amaecons and Olsen's, I'll take you to a club". Isabelle said happily.
"Can't wait. But you just came back". Helen said while chuckling.
"Yeah I know but I just feel happy.
"So how far about Kayden ". Isabelle suddenly popped.
" Didn't get a time, but he liked my project. Helen answered.
"Hel, there's still time why not back off".
"Isabelle you worry a lot, I'll be fine". Helen assured.
Isabelle looked at her hopelessly and sighs. " Really? , we've been through a lot lately and for some time I came to think that everything is going back to normal and I just, I just feel as if we should drop all this and Live a normal life". Isabelle said and sat down.
"Fucking kidding me you are Isabelle. After everything of course not darling. His Men are everywhere as, anything. It's not safe. I can't. The past keeps hunting me. It just doesn't want to stop. I, really am shattered". Helen said.
"You're right". Isabelle said.
"So how's prime, heard from him?"
" Yes Three days ago actually. His life at Chicago seems pretty better". Isabelle answered.
"Am glad, as long as he's okay ".
" Come on, I've got something for you ". Isabelle said cheering up the mood.
"Let's go". Helen said dragging her up.
At about ten in the night, Isabelle could be seen cajoling Helen for something.
"Come on"Isabelle , am tired ".
" Rebecca, please ". Isabelle tried convincing using Helen's first name. She needed to get the disc because it had a record of what she did, killing and threatening someone back at Greece. One mistake from it could her entire career at risk.
She felt devastated and hopeless, having Helen as the only one to help her at that moment.
" Onika, what's in for me?" Helen asked getting more serious. She couldn't wait to see what happened to Isabelle and what made her obsessed with that disc.
After certain pressure and pleading, The girl decided to give in.
They arrived at a place that looked like a base and Helen couldn't help but get anxious of the area. She some how felt a sense of familiarity looking at the guards. It felt ss if they belonged to Kayden, but why will Natasha secure a disc in the hands of Kayden.
"Come on let's go". Isabelle said breaking the silence.
Helen sighed looking at her friend who left already leaving her all alone.
Isabelle got more closer as she drew attention and all the men circled her ready to fight. Isabelle brought out a broken piece of bottle as she motioned them to come closer.
At the other side, Helen faced her own war. She stared at the men bleeding from her ruthless beating. One of the men who was alive stared at her with horror and fear. The latter slowly moved back as Helen stepped closer. She laughed wickedly. It's been long she last saw the red liquid, blood, she was overwhelmed seeing the man scared of loosing his life. Making her to miss her past life, a life full of agony, pain, suffering, regret and continuous nightmares. Her assassin life.
The men was left groaning in pain as they stared at Isabelle. How can a woman possess this strong power and fighting skills. It could only make sense if she was an assassin. Or is she not. Many questions filled their minds and thought to the extent they didn't know when the lady in question left.
Finding out, one of notified the others and he got a glare from them as if saying ' go ahead, let's know if you could move '.
"How was it?". Helen asked sensing Isabelle behind.
" Yes I got the disc, damn those guys were so........ ,. She trailed off sensing the guy in front of them. Noticing how he shivered, a smirk carved on her beautiful lips. " Well well well, what do we have here". She said scanning the guy." Perhaps a pet, teddy bear?". She asked suppressing the laughter that was trying to tear off her mouth.
The guy trembled staring at the two devils in front of him. Did he offend anybody or God that he decided to punish him this way. He was still mourning on the first one and now there are two. What's left for him if not death. He nodded picturing his grave and coffin, that is if he gets one. A sharp painful pain brought him back to reality as he slowly stared at his limped leg , gushing out blood. No word could describe it, he had gotten shot from one of the devil's. He slowly lamented, truly this was the worst day of his entire life.
He looked up and saw the one who shot him pointing a gun at him. He shut his eyes. That's it. His life ends now , no amount of pleading or miracle could save him. Good bye my dear life, he whispered and waited.
One.....two...three, the bullet never came. He slowly looked thinking that a miracle happened as he met the gazes of the two women.
" Becca why let him be?". Isabelle asked with furrowed brows.
Helen lazily shot him a glare and left as if saying " I dare you to tell anyone. The guy could only stare at her in fear.
"What's your name?" . Isabelle asked.
" Jaby". The man replied with pain.
" Get well soon Jaby ". Isabelle said leaving him in his own problem. Was it a problem, no it was hell.
" I hope you knew what you did." Isabelle said as she rode the bike back home.
"Yes , I believe he's one of Kayden's men, and I have this feeling he'll help me one day, one day,".
" Anything you say". "What a goal". Isabelle said accelerating.
"You still have a lot to explain Onika ". Helen said making it clear to Isabelle as Isabelle laughed nervously.
Back at home, Isabelle explained everything to Helen starting from how the men listed at her and how they promise to make her more recognisable if only she slept with them. True was that she had been into many relationship but none made her happy. She was known to be a log of wood. A human devoid of any emotions, and all this happened at her sweet sixteen leaving with a condemn heart. Even though she acted wild, she was still this pure clean virgin. Even though she smiles, it never reached her eyes and heart. Will anyone be able to turn her back like she was before?
