Chapter Fifty Seven

Alex followed him. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Damian lost his temper and threw someone’s child from the top of the palace. They got to the dungeon together and he looked at Isabelle.

“I would handle Isabelle, you would handle your ex girlfriend. If I don’t get the answers I want, we would make a switch. If I still don’t get the answers I want, them we do things my way” Damian said to him as he walked towards Isabelle’s cell.

Alex nodded. The cells were sound proofed with magic so nothing was getting on and nothing was going out. He hoped that one of them would give in before Damian decided to do things his own way. He walked towards Arielle’s cell and opened it. She looked at him and smiled

“I knew it was only a matter of time before you came to your senses. I can see you have come to let me out of here and hand over Damian, I suppose” she said
“No actually. I came to talk to you before I give Damian the change to rip you apart while you feel every pain and trust me, you would feel every pain” Alex said
“I guess you came here to threaten me. I should let you know that it is not going to work on me” Arielle said to him
“I wish I was threatening you but I’m not. You see, Damian woke up very pissed from his little slumber of death and he is willing to go through anybody to get what he wants. You want to take him to Phillip, you don’t need to. He wants to get to Phillip on his own. Where is Phillip?” Alex asked her
“Hold on a second. Give me some time to take all of this in. So you came here it ask for Phillips location? I mean, don’t you have questions? Aren’t you bothered about why I am with Phillip now? Don’t you want answers to why I left you and betrayed you that way?” she asked
“I don’t have time for that” Alex replied her
“I don’t believe you. I think you want to know. Let’s do it like this. I would tell you what you want to know if you tell me what I want to hear” she said as she took her seat, staring at him dead in his eyes

Alex scoffed and looked at her. She was still the same bitch from years ago. She was still as manipulative and evil as when he met her. She had promised to change and really, she did change, or rather, he thought she did. He maintained her gaze. He knew that he had to be smart with whatever he was going to say

Damian walked into her cell and she looked up at him. She rolled her eyes at him and looked away. For some reasons, Damian decided to ignore her attitude instead of letting it get on his nerves. He took a seat opposite her and watched her carefully. She was trying to act like she didn’t care but Damian could tell that she did. The constant tapping of her foot on the ground showed that she was nervous. The inability to maintain eye contact showed that she was intimidated and the bold front that she was trying to put up showed that she was indeed scared

“I am going to make it very simple for you. I just want to know where Phillip is” he said to her
“You are crazy to think that I am going to tell you where he is” she said
“I don’t think you would talk, I know you would talk. What the hell even happened with you?” Damian asked her
“What happened to me? You left Cordina after putting my life on hold and then you come back with another girl and your mom sends me back to my parents like my life is supposed to go on from there like it wasn’t interrupted and you’re here asking me what happened to me?” she asked him
“I believed that when you first said it but not anymore. When you left, you thanked me. You said you had found love in someone else and you were glad that I did the same. So you can’t possibly be mad that I brought home another girl after I was supposed to get married to you!” he said to her
“Your father killed him!” she said
“Then why the hell are you helping him? Why are you still protecting him?” Damian screamed at her
“Because I have to!” she screamed back
“No, you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. This is your choice, helping Phillip is your choice!” Damian said to her
“No, it’s not. None of this was my choice! I would never in my sane mind stand with your father against you!” she said
“But you are doing it? Are you insane? Where the hell is your sanity? Because you came here for me, according to what I heard. You came here to get me because my father asked you to. So tell me, why are you fighting with my father and not against him?” he asked her
“Because I have to!” she said
“You don’t have to do anything! I would keep saying it!” he said to her
“No, you do not get the whole situation. I have to!” she said
“I don’t get it? Then make me get it! Make me understand what the fuck is going on with you!” he screamed at her
“Your father has my mom! He took her from our home and he has held her hostage for weeks. He holds her over me and for that, he has my loyalty because I am not going to let my mom die and he knows this! Everything I have ever done was for my mother! She is the only family I have left!” she screamed at him
“Then help me! Help us find him and we can get your mother back. Tell us where he is and I would make sure I remove your mother from the whole scene before I attack so she doesn’t get caught in the cross fire. I would make sure she gets home safe and sound but that is only if Phillip doesn’t kill her before get to her. He can’t be trusted so the sooner we act, the sooner I can get your mom back!” Damian said to her
“That is the problem, I don’t know where he is. We never meet at a certain spot. He always calls a meeting spot. The only person that knows where he is has to be Arielle and trust me, she would rather die than tell you where he is! The only person that can help you with that is Odette and trust me when I say this, she hates you. I don’t know what you did to her but she hates you!” Isabelle said
“Why would Odette even be in on this?” he asked
“I don’t know but whatever it is, it has something to do with your relationship with Anna. She thinks you are supposed to be with her and you choosing Anna over her is something that she can not make peace with and that is why she would fight until her dying breath. Since she and Phillip have one common goal, it is best to join forces to achieve that and with the drive that both she and Phillip have, they wouldn’t stop until they are dead” Isabelle said
“Then they die” Damian said to her

“Fine, Why did you leave? Why did you choose someone else over me? Worse, someone that has constantly proved himself to be an enemy of my family and I? Why did you do that?” he asked her
“Because you left first. What is her name? Beth? I found out you were texting her!”
“I started texting her because you became distant. You started going out without telling me where you were going and when I asked, it turned into a fight! Then you moved into a separate room! What the hell was I supposed to do? Grovel at your feet? You left and there is no excuse for that and yes, her name is Beth and she is doing a better job at being a partner than you ever did! I loved you! I would have given anything for you! I would have brought you the moon if you asked for it. Thank you for leaving me! You made me realize that you were never even worth the efforts in the first place and I am glad that I realized that now and although it is late, it is better than living with the lie that you actually did love me!” he said to her
“Don’t do that!” she snapped at him
“Do what?” he screamed back at her
“Act like I never loved you because I did. I loved you with everything I had! I loved you so much that I lost myself in you! I loved you!” she said to him
