Isobel

Luis wasn’t lying, this man really is an idiot, Isobel thought as he sat on a chair and was half asleepwhikesnores. Piece of cake, Isobel rolled her eyes.

She got out of the car and opened the trunk to grab a steel rod. At least it’s good for something, Isobelmade her way over to the sleeping man on the chair and connected the rod with his head.

With a grunt, he fell onto the ground before he went unconscious. “That’ll do.” She shrugged hershouldgarage keys from his pockets. “Handcuffs too?” She chuckled as she cuffed him to the chair andthrew awShe opened the garage door and walked in, with the steel rod still in her hands. She plannedto rescue Bget the hell out of here, but just in case she came prepared.

Isobel walked through the garage and followed the trails of dried bloodstains on the floor. “What do IdoShe sighed, thinking she might’ve lost her ticket to Serena’s forgiveness.

“Holy shit, I shouldn’t have come a minute later,” Isobel spoke as she looked at Beau who was severelybchained to a chair. He held his head down and was barely awake, but somehow found the strength toloo“What are you doing here?” He spat at her. He was well aware that she was the cause of all of this.“I’m slet’s go.” Isobel had rolled her eyes and made her way over before she tried to remove the ropeand cha“Leave me. You’re the last person I need saving from,” Beau told her and turned his head so hedid not h“Well, your sister send me here, and I’m not leaving here wit—“

“She told you?” Beau scoffed. He knew that Fabio was too embarrassed to expose the truth, about howhalive all these years—so there weren’t many options.

“No, Vince did,” Isobel spoke to his surprise. Vince, the same person who he had protected, time andtimsame person who had no trouble handing him over to Fabio when he had found out the truth.

“Luis—“ Beau asked. After Vincenzo’s outburst, he had given Luis clear instructions and did not wanthimhere.

“He’s fine, he’s with Serena,” Isobel confirmed. Beau felt relieved that everything went well. He knewthakind and warm person who stood for what was right—and would never do anything to hurt Luis inany wto Serena was a good decision.

“Whose side are you on?” Beau asked. No matter how much he appreciated his sister, he could notbeliewould send her out of all people to come and look for him. “Christian’s side.”

“Since when?” Beau did not believe a single word she said. He knew that Vince was always extremelycarinformation, so unless Isobel betrayed him—there was no way she was on their side.

“Starting now, after embarrassing myself I tried to remain neutral but Vince is nuts and I don’t likebeingteam—now shut up so I can concentrate,” Isobel told him and tried to get rid of the chains. Nomatter wwasn’t working and it almost seemed as if she was back at square one.

“Please leave me to die, I’d rather die than getting saved by you,” Beau spoke as Isobel desperatelypulle“You’d rather die?” She stopped mid-action and frowned her eyebrow while she looked at Beau,who waone could get.

“Going with you is no different from riding to my death—so I’ll die here as a man, knowing I did not getHe had decided and refused to meet her eyes. Isobel looked at him, waiting for him to say that it wasall never did. For Beau, there was nothing she could do to make it right.

“You know what, you ungrateful pig. So be it.” Isobel yelled and stomped towards the garage door.

Isobel stopped in her steps and thought about everything she could still gain. Her family who haddisownot ignore her once they found out about her brave deeds.

I can’t leave like this, I have put my life on the line for this, she suddenly thought and turned around sosBeau.

His head was lowered and he was close to losing consciousness. “Hey, stay with me!” Isobel clappedher walked back to try to free him once again. “I’m really not leaving without you, you’re my ticket togainintrust again.”

“The only ticket you deserve is the one to hell.” Beau chuckled and was in shock that she had eventurneyou’re like your sister—won’t you just shut up so I can release you!”

“It won’t matter, you need a key.” Beau sighed at her desperate attempt. “What?” Isobel looked up insho“That guy only had one key and I threw it in the trash can. He can’t get that far, he’s unconsciousand tie“He doesn’t have it, the other one does,” Beau explained. Isobel blinked with her eyes and for asecond scoming here. “There was another one?”

“Hey, who did this!” They heard a voice from the outside call out. Beau grabbed Isobel’s arm to stop her“Be quiet, do you hear that?”

“For fucks sake, why does this have to happen now?” Isobel buried her head in her hands. “I assumethatguy?”

“Leave,” Beau spoke. Isobel shook her head and pulled the chains again. She was determined to gethimtold you, you’re my ticket to redemption and I’m not leaving without you—“

“Yes you are, I won’t let them torture you into telling Serena’s hideout—you need to leave,” Beau toldhemind leaving her here so she could suffer just like he had—but he wouldn’t risk Serena’s life in doingsoHe knew that Luis had told Serena about his whereabouts—and knew that Fabio who had noremorse wothe little Luis.

“Looking out for your sister? Isn’t that cute?” Isobel pouted her lips as a way of mocking him. “So youw“No.” She spoke. “Then at least make yourself useful.” Beau breathed and pointed to the cabinetbehind“There’s a gun in the cabinet behind you, give it to me.” He demanded. Isobel smiled at him andpatted “Hmm, so you want to fight for your life after all?” Isobel spoke as she made her way over to thecabinetdoor so she could grab the gun.

“I’m fighting for Serena’s life,” Beau stated. Everything he had done and everything he had held backwaincluding forgiving the Alfonzo’s. He did not want anything to do with them but in his heart, he waswillithem, he was willing to do so for Serena’s sake.

“There is only one bullet left—you need to get out of here and I’ll cover for you,” Beau said. It wasobvioFabio who had tortured him, was only keeping him alive to use him as bait—and even if hedecided to kicare—because he knew Serena would still be safe.

“Isobel, please.” He gave her a look, begging her to listen. Isobel was conflicted between staying theretoor running away to save her own life—but she also knew that there would be no redeeming herself ifshe

“Fine.” She gulped and handed Beau the gun. She stepped back and hid behind him as the footstepsweand closer. “Give my sister a message for me, tell her that her brother did everything he could tomake sualive—so she should live.”

Beau fought through the pain and raised the gun as the footsteps were getting even closer.

“Run!” He told Isobel as he pointed the gun at the man who had walked in and shot him in his shoulder.the man and watched as he fell to the floor with his gun still near his hands.

The gun fell a few inches from his grip as he tried to stretch out his uninjured shoulder so he could geta“Go, run!” Beau instructed Isobel who had frozen up. “Isobel, go!” He yelled, waking her from her

For once in her life she would do what was right.

In one movement she swung around the steel and hit the back of the man’s head until he wasunconsciodecided that you can give the message to Serena yourself.” She proudly shrugged hershoulders and graout of the man’s pockets.

“You crazy bitch, how many of these things do you have?” Beau commented as Isobel unlocked thechainlet’s go.” She spoke and removed the last chain before she wrapped her arm around his waist tohelp himBeau pushed her away and shook his head. “I told you—“

“Yes, you’d rather die and you don’t like me and the feeling is mutual bla bla.” She rolled her eyes asshewrapped her arm around his waist and helped him up.

“God, you are so annoying.” She rolled her eyes before she led him outside and grabbed her phonewith“Say, I’m alive.” She ordered him around.

“I’m alive?” He asked.

“Where are you taking me?” Beau asked.
