Third Person
“For the last time Isabella, I said no”
“And for the last time Lucus, I said yes”
Now standing toe to toe was Isabella and Lucus. Currently standing within the strategy room was Isabella pretty adamant over the last couple of days about visiting Hayden and Ashton.
Grant, Alex, Tony, Marco and Isaiah each watching the scene unfold before them. Each wondering who would cave first in this heated battle of wits.
“No means no. So drop it” snarls Lucus, emphasizing the word NO in Gaelic. Clearly not happy that Isabella had gone behind their backs to learn it. More importantly from his own mother without their permission. Not that they wouldn’t have taught her if she had asked, it was more of the principal then anything.
“Oh for the love of GOD! Lucus, yes” yells Isabella back. “Now stop being such a big baby about it” Isabella clearly not happy with Lucus or how he was acting. Isabella still refusing to back down within her decision to go.
“Careful how you tread baby girl. Your on thin ice right now” growls Lucus. “Just because your our Queen, doesn’t give you the right to be disrespectful to us. I’m still your Dom. And so help me God, I’ll not once hesitate to bend you over this desk and smack that sweet ass of yours until it’s flaming red. Our word is law, end of discussion.”
Glaring her eyes does Isabella move to look towards a clock. Mentally smirking as she had been provoking them relentlessly over these last few days and was enjoying it to the fullest, knowing she was getting under their skin.
“Oh yeah? Well… we’ll see about that… SIR” growls Isabella, her voice now laced with sarcasm as she continues to hold her own against Lucus. Isabella’s parents having taught her to stand her ground and never take no for an answer. Even as Isabella knew how to push each of their buttons in response, Isabella now moving to take a seat within the room.
A look of boredom now growing along her face as she moves to study her nails. Now mumbling to herself as she moves to count down softly.
“In 3… 2… 1….0…”
“LUCUS!” yells a voice that could be heard from almost anywhere within the huge castle. Lucus and the others now focused on the door of the room before turning back to Isabella. “Please tell me you didn’t”
“Yep, sure did” smirks Isabella, a gleeful look now upon her face as she moves to wait for the person in question.
The sound of doors now opening with a bang soon startles those within the room as a woman with blond hair, emerald green eyes and stood about 5’8 now moves to enter the room. Her aura strong as she moves to enter unannounced.
“M-Mother” attempts Lucus, attempting to smile as he moves to greet his mother. Hoping she wouldn’t notice the tension within the air as he does.
A glare now on her face as she moves to approach him. Her hand soon grabbing his balls firmly within her hand before squeezing them tightly. Lucus’s face now contorted in pain once she managed to let go of him. Everyone else now afraid of the woman who stood before them as well.
“Don’t you mother me, Lucus Damon O’Donnell D’Amico. I know I raised you better than this”
Moving to shift her attention to those of the others does Sophia finally move to spot Isabella. “Isabella darling” smiles Sophia as she moves to approach the said girl. The same girl she had come to love as her own.
Isabella moving to greet the woman that she now knew as a second mom as they move to hug one another in turn.
“Oh thank god you called me. You know I’m more than happy to help knock some sense back into my sons head when needed.” Shifting her gaze now back to Lucus who was currently kneeling upon the floor, due to the assault upon his balls, does Sophia move to approach him yet again. Having spotted a magazine nearby as she moves to roll it up tightly before moving to whack Lucus all over his body. Lucus flinching at all the hard hits.
“MOM! PLEASE! STOP!”
“NO! How dare you not tell anyone about Antonio or his brothers being very much alive” fumes Sophia, rage boiling as she moves to grab him by the ear. Her fingers painfully tugging him closer to her as she moves to speak yet again.
“We all know that you and your brothers all meant well, but by not telling anyone else, like me or your father, you allowed the enemy to move closer you fucking idiot.”
Yanking his ear yet again does Sophia move to continue. “As for Isabella, Isabella has every right to go and confront those who have harmed her. Just like she did when you all hurt her. Now allow her that honor or so help me, I’ll do it myself.”
Knowing when to pick his battles with his mother does Lucus move to concede. Sophia clearly pleased by her son as she moves to let him go. Lucus finally able to stand back up only to spot Isabella who had a tiny little smirk along her face, Lucus now moving to glare directly at her only to realize something important.
“But mom… you haven’t congratulated us yet.”
At the mention of congratulations does Isabella pale. Lucus now smug as his mother moves to look at him slowly in confusion. “Excuse me?”
Deciding to show her does Lucus move to approach Isabella. Lucus now yanking her hand free of hiding. His hand now holding hers as he moves to show his mother the enormous ring upon her finger. Sophia’s eyes now widening as she gasps happily.
“Oh my GOD. FINALLY! Oh.. your father will be so happy” now turning to look at her other sons does Sophia move to hug Grant, Tony and Alex before turning her attention back on Isabella. The magazine still in hand as she moves to approach her next.
