Mr. Smith whom Mr. Scott's longtime friend had known exactly why his friend seems so sad and melancholic in narrating his story about his own son.
He once had a son too. A young and good looking one just like his daughter but fate treated them ruthlessly and played them cruelly. And not just his son but also his wife was taken away from them. Leaving the two of them suffering in too much agony.
The feeling of grievance and sorrows that he choose to hide in his heart within the years resurfaced again. The bleeding wound that he ignored as time went to pass by as he thought that it had already healed but he was wrong. It was just patched up momentarily and it burst out again as it was tightening his chest even more. But he can’t let his emotions wrapped himself again.
He needed to be strong for his own daughter and support her in every possible way. And he was also aware of his daughter’s main goal upon coming back. As a supportive father, he should always be the one whom stood in her side to encourage her to go on fighting for whatever may come across them.
Trying hard to suppress his surging emotions, he stood up from his own seat and approached his sobbing daughter. He wrapped his arms around her lovingly and hugged her tightly. He tried to comfort her while rubbing her back repeatedly until she calm herself down.
Izzabelle's body was trembling while sobbing, she has totally lost control in her emotions. She couldn’t bear to hear that something bad and unacceptable might had happened to her boyfriend. Even if she hadn’t heard the ending of the whole story yet. Judging by the looks on Mr. Daniel’s eyes, she could already imagine that he didn’t end up well. Her mind played and flashed different possible worst scenarios that might Ethan encountered during his disappearance.
“Ssshhhh..! baby it’s okay, let it all out... I know your hurting, but please be strong and bravely face it, we will get through this, we still have each other, remember?” Her dad whispered gently as he was rubbing her long hair with his hand lovingly.
She nodded her head slowly as she was wiping her tear stained beautiful face. She was very thankful for her father’s thoughtfulness. Even though she successfully gained a lot of appreciation and recognition independently, still she needs someone who could motivate and encourage her to keep on going, someone who could love her unconditionally just incase every thing went haywire and go against her will.
Mr. Daniel just keep himself silent for a while as he was observing the whole situation. He hadn’t had finished telling her the whole story yet that’s why he decided to paused for a moment and let her absorb the truth, but he badly needed to release his predicament. This young lady was his son’s former girlfriend that's why she needed to know the whole truth. He then cleared his throat again to caught the father and daughter’s attention and continued on talking.
“Izzabelle there’s still something that you need to be aware of. He.. he... went missing for almost six years now... I.. I don’t have any idea if he’s still alive right now...”
Mr. Scott stuttered while speaking as he was afraid and scared of the possibility that his son might have already gone. He didn't dare to think any further like that. He just couldn't do it! It was so devastating for him!
He can’t bring himself to speak smoothly, his body shook slightly as he wanted to cover his own sobs. For him, it’s been a long time since he felt such overwhelming emotions like this again. His insides were in a turmoil again remembering his own son’s disappearance.
Since then, he was feeling down and dispirited miserably. He was a dignified deputy CEO of a big company but he can’t even brought himself to protect his own son. He felt helpless, useless and desperate at the same time. He could only hope for Izzabelle to help him too. His friend told him how capable she was now. He would forever be indebted to her if she could help him.
His revelation successfully got the young lady’s attention. Something seems to trigger inside her. Her instincts reacted quickly. She blinked thoughtfully, trying to figure out what he meant by ‘went missing’, her heart made a huge jump to her throat blocking her air tube. She couldn’t find the right words to ask as she was having difficulty in breathing.
‘Does this mean that Ethan was taken against his own will? And he might still be alive right now..?’ She muttered silently while starring at him blankly lost in her thoughts.
A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in her hazel fiery eyes. Yes! There's still has a possibility that her boyfriend is still alive at this moment. This thought had sent additional determination on herself.
“Princess, say something please... Why are you so silent? Your scarring me... Talk to us....”
Her dad’s voice came out shaking and panicking as he was so scared to death seeing his daughter wearing only a blank facial expression.
Izzabelle finally came back to her senses as she shook her head several times.
“I was just overwhelmed by the truth dad. I‘ve misunderstood him for too long... all this time I thought he chose to leave me behind but I’m totally wrong....” She answered truthfully and painfully realizing her own mistake of judgement.
Suddenly she thought of something. Then she wiped her tears immediately and inhaled deeply and sharply.
Regaining her best composure, she began to focus on thinking about her plans. She needed to take immediate action or she might be too late. He might be still alive right now.
Hopefully!
She knows exactly what his Uncle Daniel wanted from her and she would gladly do it.
She would try every means to locate him using her abilities and capabilities as well as her resources. She would also dig out everything about everything happened in the past.
"Uncle Daniel, please trust me... I will do my best to find him!" She promised the older Scott solemnly.
Mr. Scott looked at her with appreciation and managed to give out a stern nod then he mouthed, "Thank you!"
Izzabelle just nodded her head in acknowledgment.
After the three individual's overwhelming conversations at Mr. Smith’s office they went onto their separate ways as usual carrying a heavy and grieving hearts. Later that night they decided to tend their wounds and wait for the next upcoming events as they couldn't do anything than to wait and head back home immediately and took few hours of rest to refuel enough energy for themselves. Earlier today, Izzabelle was woken up by a sudden special alarming tone of her mobile phone. It had a different settings and special featuresunlike some ordinary mobile phones that were sold at the world market. She specifically designed and personalised it according to her liking to avoid any irrelevant inconvenience.
Izzabelle was feeling restless after knowing that the codes she got anonymously stated was a location of a certain hospital establishment. It pique her curiosity so much to the highest. She focused her chaotic mindset to think of a possible reason that could possibly relate her to the location. ‘Think Izzabelle, think!’ She closed her eyes to meditate, inhaling and exhaling her breath slowly for a couple of seconds. She carefully arrange her own theories inside her mind and analyze it bit by bit. If it wasn't related to her then why did she have to receive it anonymously? And the source... what was he or she up to or wanted to tell her? Recalling every possible scenarios in her head for a few seconds, a sudden thought flashed in her mind. S
Izzabelle was immediately enraged while reading the data that she got from Lizz. She couldn’t find any worst words to define her despicable and evil aunt. According to the files, her grandparents adopted Anna for her mommy Myra's sake. Anna was Myra’s friend back then. During their childhood, they we’re close to each other. One day when Anna’s parents died into an accident, Myra tormented and forced her parents to adopt Anna to become her sister legally and was eventually granted by them knowing they didn't want their daughterto feel lonely all day long considering that both the Winchester couple was busy dealing with their company business matters. Basically, they grow up together, enter the same school, and all the privileges that Myra had gotten Anna also got.
While reading the name list of the admitted patients that Marcus had sent on her email, Izzabelle was frozen in shock. She was momentarily dumbfounded. As the saying goes 'the truth shall prevail', indeed her efforts didn't went in vain. Her five years of training resulted in such a fruitful way. Her mind went blank and she felt a huge lump blocking on her throat. She felt dizzy all of a sudden as her eyes began to get blurry then as if on cue, fresh tears started to fall out from her eyes like rain drops. Her body was uncontrollably shaking from too much crying and sobbing. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from being noticed by their servants downstairs. She wasn't ready to tell them for the meantime if they happen to interrogate her about the reason for her sudden cries.
Watching Izzabelle’s car speeding away from the mansion, Linda grabbed her phone then called the mysterious man hurriedly who had threatened her earlier to report her already completed task. “She’s maybe on her way now, please spare my daughter. Please... Please... I beg you...” The desperate nanny pleaded repeatedly while crying her eyes out. “You did a very good job! You... Wait until she arrived here! Then I'll keep my words!” The man on the other end of the line answered coldly and just hanged up on Linda directly not even giving a damn about her desperate cries and pleads. His voice devoid of any emotions as he muttered to himself. &nb
When the door swung open, she was totally dumbstruck and her mind went blank for a few seconds. She was surprised and shocked. 'What the heck is this?Was it really him? She couldn't believe it!' She muttered to herself in disbelief. "Ethan?" She whispered out her words shortly as if she wasn't really sure about the man's identity whom was now standing in front of her. Izzabelle froze on the spot and keep on rooted from where she stood. She couldn't still imagine seeing him now. After almost 7 years of their separation without words to each other, now they finally meet again face to face. They just starred at each other's eyes and no one ever break the silence lingering
"Hold on babe... I'll tell you everything if that's what you really want. Just... please stay for a while..." The man hurriedly moved forward to blocked his woman's abrupt leave. He hold her in his arms and promised to tell her everything. He had been waiting for Izzabelle to return and now she's going to leave him again. He was going crazy again if it goes on like this. He wouldn't allow it to happen again. Not anymore! Listening to Ethan's words sounds tempting and a bit interesting. Izzabelle was a bit surprised and puzzled as the man's mindset changed abruptly. She had intended to take her leave but her boyfriend's offer seems a bit convincing. Izzabelle sighed in relief. She would try to listen and be optimistic about his side of story and analyze it wel
After telling one of his predicament to Izzabelle, Ethan let out a soft sigh. Which was an indication that a huge weight was finally lifted up from his shoulder. But... was it really lifted up? Yeah, maybe a little but he added a bit heaviness in his heart knowing that he purposely hidden the important details of his story for the time being. He couldn't tell her the whole truth in one breath, could he? Who knows she might just jumpinto conclusions that would make them fell apart from each other forever. Forever... The thought of being separated from Izzabelle forever brought a great torture for him. He felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart. It's like he's been shot directly in there. He hold his chest with his right hand and clenched
