Isabella's POV
"No-no-no" i repeat as i look in front of me to the empty rooms and hanging chains
"How did they escape" Nicholas yells and i flinch at his tone. He sighs deeply and punches a hole through the wall in annoyance
I look at him and his worn out face, he finally had a hold of them
"Where would they have gone" i mutter to myself and remember what i was reading last night
I run back to the house and hear footsteps behind me
I run to the table where the papers were kept and i look through them hurriedly when i find one in particular
"Nicholas how did you find me?" I ask Nicholas and he looks at me
"Hamilton" we both say at the same time
"that traitor" Carlos says and i look in confusion but soon enough get the answer
"Cole wanted you to find me through him" i mutter and Nicholas snaps his eyes at the picture of Cole on the table
"Im done playing games his way" he says and i look at his cold face
His expressions were scaring me
The ringing phone distracted me off my thoughts and i picked it up putting it on speaker
"Hello amore" the familiar voice echoes through the room and i disgust
"Cole" i say and he chuckles behind the phone
"Im assuming you have a good idea about the trick i played with Nicholas" he says and i hear Nicholas shrug
"Im done playing games with you Cole" Nicholas picks up the phone putting it on his ear
"Start counting your days" Nicholas says in a deadly tone and ends the call keeping the phone away on the table
I look at the picture of Cole and the information on the table
"Isabella do you think you can get me his current address from the call?" Nicholas says and i nod
Carlos quickly grabs the laptop and helps me sit down as i spend a good few minutes tracing it
"Okay here it is" i give Nicholas a paper and he looks at it longingly
"Okay pack your bags everyone" he says walking to his room
"We're going to the enemy's shelter, but this time, its for one final goodbye" he says disappearing in the hallway
I glance at Carlos who shrugs and i sigh as i get up
We spend a few hours packing, gathering information and perfecting the plan
After a good few hours we end up in front of a house along the sea
The house doesn't radiate rich vibes from it but we can assume it is Cole's considering the location and security
"we're going to go inside?" I ask Nicholas but he nods in disagreement
"we have hunting dogs for it" he says to me before turning on the ear piece
Nicholas's POV
•few hours earlier•
"All you have to do is to drive this truck inside the mansion without stopping" I say to the guy and he nods hesitantly
"This is your last favor, I'll let you both go after that" i say to them and they smile as they consider my offer
"You have to pretend that the bomb planted is real, just to scare the guards so they don't come near you" i say and they nod assuring me to do what told
•present•
"Okay now move" i say and with that, the truck roars to life from the farther end of the road and picks up speed as it drives along the road
"Three" i start the countdown as i look in the distance
"Two"
"One" Isabella says beside me, her eyes fixated on the truck that has now crossed 100 and is rushing to the mansion
Within seconds, the heavy truck collides with the tall mansion gates and everything turns into smoke
The white smoke is all i can make out from the car and i stare into it
A few seconds later i see people arguing and the men getting down from the truck yelling to the guards
The guards hesitantly move backwards and i clench my fist in approval
"How will they come out?" Isabella asks me and i look at her smirking
"They won't" i say calmly
"I told you, when the time is right, we will throw the hunting dogs in the lion's den"
