Drowning in pleasure
"I'm Ian fablan, recognized you by your familiar speech, well I'm one of your fans"Isabelle roll her eyes at the outlandish stranger.
" Oh,okay Mr fablan nice to meet you, this is my wife Isa... "
" Let's go hubby"Xander snap his head to her,face trapped amidst puzzlement "C'mon, if our dearie Mr whatever can clearly recognize you a lot of people can and we don't want to start a charity party in the middle of the street"Ian grin.
"Mrs Mack is right and it's such a great honour to meet you, I'll leave thanks for the time"He walk away, Isabelle didn't know she was holding her breath until he left,she glance back and just like he knows she would he turn back removing his hands from his jogger pant and threw a kiss, Isabelle face form all lines of perplexity.
"Was I a little rude?" Isabelle ask when she noticed Xander sudden silence.
"Little?You were extremely rude,like a first class rated rude..." Isabelle poke him with her sharp fingers "Geez woman that's what I was talking about"
" No one calls their wife rude and I'm your wife Mr Mack"the corner of Xander lips curve into a smile, Isabelle thought wander back to Ian 'Who is he?'she ask herself 'Is he stalking her?'Because it's not a coincidence to meet at different places the same day to her,is he one of emeryk men?'
Ian fablan lock the door to his apartment and drop his keys on the violet couch then sit on the bean bag while taking off his white hoodie the doorbell rang and he grunt too tired to move "Come in"The door bell rang again Ian stood up and open the door "Mom?"he shout in surprise.
"Stop asking that everytime you ingrate,where were you all this while?"A woman in red cocktail gown wrench herself in and sit on the armchair patting her well packed blond hair.
"You can't just pop in anytime you want, I'm an adult"
" With mummy problem,tell me where you were,you switched off your phone, I and your uncle couldn't get to you"Ewa fablan open the other bag she's holding and push it to him "Made you something"
"Honestly I hate this" Ian walk to the hallway of the house "I went to Siedlce for a little work"
" Really!!!,that doesn't stop you from calling and if you're so irritated find a wife"
" I'm 26"
" So?"
" It's still illegal to get married"Ewa take a deep hard breath "It's the truth mom"
"Pawel, you're old enough to get married"
" It's Ian, it's legally Ian stop calling me that,I want to hear something I'm used to not your own weird name of affection"
" I feel more closer to you when I do" Ewa stood up with crossed arms " Find a girl who's going to tolerate you but not me... I'm not on for that job"Smile found it way to Ian lips,Ewa eyes widen "Found someone?"
"Yeah, beautiful but snobbish" Ewa face contort " But hell she's interesting,I met her at a cafe and my first gaze at her left me motionless,I wanna bury myself in that cafe and never come out"Ewa blush for her son, overexcited and overwhelmed to interrupt "She's a snipy woman,a real stern one mom but that's the fun part,in just a day i saw her smile,laugh,frown and even her anger and I'm thirsty for more"
" Wow,honey this is your chance to get your life in order"Ian roll his eyes heavenward "where does she stay? What's her name?did you talk to her or just only stared?"
"Yeah I did and she...." ' Well that's good for you but the law is on us, never ever talk to weird smiley guys and honestly you're the definition of ugly'He recall Isabelle words and shake his head but kept it to himself because if his mother heard it she might end up fainting which she occasionally does "She was caught off guard so she tuned my key off"
"That doesn't matter,every girls does that,What's her name?"
" Isa something,not sure but I heard Isa"
" So what are you going to do?" Ian locate his room at the top of the building and went in to change conscious of his mom hawk eyes.
"Nothing"
"What?that wasn't what I taught you?learning to let go because she wasn't willing to speak"Ewa shout.
" No mom, it's something else,I saw her with Xander Mack"Ewa jaw drop to the point that her mouth was hanging "Don't tell me you still like him, it's disgusting"
" I'm beautiful"
"And old"
" Don't you ever call me old again" Ewa throw a pillow at him, face turned crimson the same color of her anger,Ian produce a small fake smile the pillow brushing past him. "She could be his employee,his sister is getting married so she's off"Worry suddenly lace Ian face.
"Did you hear that Xander is now a married man?"
" Yes,'one of the eligible bachelor of Poland is off the list' the blogger wrote but no one showed the pictures of his wife,some says he married his highschool sweetheart and some says it's the zuzzana girl and some says it's some other woman,I don't trust bloggers and I don't believe it but the article from Minneapolis this morning is quite true, why are you asking? "
"The girl I'm attracted to is married" Ewa face fell "To him, Xander mack"
"WHAT??!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Are you okay?"Isabelle pull Xander attention from his laptop " You look pale"
"I'm okay,just need to go through some documents, the hearing is set for tomorrow"He set his laptop aside.
" The Isabelle Murray case?that was supposed to happen yesterday"Xander nod and pull her closer to his body.
"I didn't have time, that's why I'm dedicating my full time to her and the case tomorrow"He lean his head on her shoulder " You're warm"
"Yes,but it's always,bad thing?"
" No, it's great,can we talk about something important?" Isabelle face him and pout "It's important"
"I'm hungry"
"It'll be quick,I promise" Isabelle nod and lean on his chest,he sigh and circle her waist "What do you want to do?where do you wanna work?I heard you went to the Ravens"
"Yes but they won't hire me because I'm not a real neurosurgeon"Xander glance at her " I'm not a neurosurgeon,I wanted to get in for something else and with James help I would've survived but the plan was flawed"
" What plan?"Xander thread carefully understanding that a little curiosity from his part could send her back into her hole. "If it's legal I can help"
"It's legal but I don't need to again the person I want is back, lets forget about the Ravens"She said with a note of finality and Xander was forced to let go.
" Okay do you want to work with me?" He kiss her hair "I could use a little help"
"You've two personal assistant,for a man like you who works his life out, that's too much"
"That's why I need someone there?"
" You've two people, I'm not interested in working with you"Xander pout ,she chuckle and held his hands wrapped around her waist protectively "I want to do something I'm going to be happy about"
" Like what?"
"R&D,I want to work there,mom told me the place was nice" Xander stiffen taken aback, he'd a lot of enemies at R&D despite him been the acting CEO just to get his father to calm down, and R&D is more exposed unlike any other company he could think of for her, there's always media swarming around the building which delighted the workers but Xander hated it, still not a word he said to his father worked 'Take responsibility'is always his father reply. "It's nice, isn't it?"
"There's nothing nice in R&D sincerely, you'll watch people work and do nothing but watch people work"Isabelle laugh " I'm serious babe"She froze,the sudden endearment putting her in haziness,Xander frown and clear his throat "Well it's different from what I think you want"
" What do you think I want?"
"Seriousness, quietness,happiness and liveliness but the place sucks"
"You might be the one to manage it one day,I mean that's if you don't have kids"Xander eye her askancely,she laugh "Do you wanna have kids?not with me,no I don't mean that, I'm asking in general"
"Yes,with you"Isabelle tilt her head,Xander blush dumbfounding her "I've this crazy dream in my head about you and i one day having kids and enjoying the life of parenting but that's never gonna happen is it?"Isabelle coil her legs around his,closing her eyes as he trail his hand down her spine.
"Never" Her voice shook with tremor, Isabelle bring the image to her head and laugh "And if it does happen...that you and I have kids,I won't be there to share in the happiness"Xander heartache. " I'll work at R&D,give me two weeks to check things out,suppose I don't like it I'll find somewhere else to go, I'm starving and lazy"
"I'm thinking of hiring maids you see" Isabelle jump upright "You don't like maids?"
"It's not like I don't but I don't think it's necessary"Xander kiss the crown of her head "That wasn't necessary" He grin.
" I wanna do more but hey I'm hiring maids not for my pleasure but for yours, I'm not always going to be around,I might be gone for a month or two and it's gonna be super boring for you and you're complaining of laziness"
" I find cooking exhausting"
"And I don't want to exhaust you,think about it and also think about the personal guard thing"
" I can protect myself"
"I know and that's why I want you to have extra help"Isabelle snort " Please think about it"
"Just two but bouncer like" Xander chortle "Warning,if you bring in someone average I'm going to run away"Xander flinch, Isabelle curse herself silently,she suddenly kneel and wrap her hand around his neck facing him "A kiss for your service"
"I won't cook Isabelle, I'm as tired as you are"He lied wetting his lips.
" Not for a kiss?"
"How heartless" Xander held her in place "One kiss might not work"
"I can only give one" Isabelle graze his lips with hers sending electric jolt of pleasure to them "Only one" She repeat her action but now yearning "I'm a lone wolf you know" She delve deeper and move to sit when Xander deepen it lifting her to sit on the chair with him between her legs.
They both drown in pleasure too immense in it that they're unwillingly to let go,Xander pull her closer though they were glued already,his head clouded with the feeling of the present,she pull his shirt up and he oblige in taking it completely off,he lift her from the chair and sit while placing her on his lap, he kiss her hungrily because he was,his hand on her slender waist tighten and glide lower, his other hand trail aimlessly around her shirt reaching inside,a moan escape Isabelle lips when he unbuckle her bra.
Ding ding..
The two stop hastily panting heavily as they both lean on each other,the door bell rang again, Isabelle laugh throatily recovering her breaths "Take outs" She whisper,Xander grumble with a knitted brow earning continuous giggle from her side,she slide from his lap to the chair.
"No more of that" He plant a kiss on her lips and linger for a bit before glancing at the door.
"You decided to order not me" She give in to his tempting kisses and made her hand wander around his abs,the doorbell ring again more angrily.
"Will the idiot stop?" Xander growl and stole a kiss before running to the door.
"You're shirtless"Xander rub his temple and ran back to pick it up " Hurry"Isabelle mock him with a laugh.
"That isn't a good trait for a woman who needs my help" Isabelle laugh harder,Xander open the door and came face to face with jan who is holding the take outs"Wow"
"I thought something was wrong for a minute"Jan express his dismay.
" There was nothing wrong,I won't die soon idiot,when will the maids we talked about be here?"
"When you tell them to be here,Sir there's a new found body at the back side of the penthouse"Xander body stood rigid,he take a quick glance at Isabelle and notice she's occupied with his laptop and motion Jan to continue "And on it is a written name,the police want to have a word with you later"
" Is it a female body?"
"Yes,there was nothing weird in the killings, you'll know it's triplicate handiwork when you see the body but this time it's like he did it angrily,the police won't tell us what's written but we got it anyway it's morella"Dread fill Xander heart but he retain his normal feature to Jan.
"We'll talk about this later" Jan nod and walk away,Xander lock the door and take the food inside "Wanna eat something out of this till I'm done?" He stride to the kitchen.
"I want to eat what you make" Isabelle amble to the kitchen and take the contents from his hand "Wanna eat some?" Xander shake his head warily " You alright?"
"Yes,I want a little bit of space"Xander open the fridge to take what's needed, Isabelle nod to herself and slip out of the kitchen,Xander purse his lips "Morella"

"Why do you care what I do to him?He was biting your ear off"Isabelle yell at Sasha and drag Xander by the ear to the swing side,the boy scream and beg for his sister and pray anyone from the church would hear him and come to his rescue but no one came,no one heard his voice because they were in the backyard of the church, designated with barking dogs and roaring mail machines.
"I'll never hurt her again"Xander pretend to be apologetic but suddenly bite Isabelle hand trying to free himself,Sasha stood watching in the background not knowing who to support.
"Oh you little pest,how dare you bite me?"
"I'm older pig,years older now let me go"
" I look older"Isabelle brag and indeed she looks older,she as always been the precocious child,anyone would think she's eight when she's infact just months to six "You look teeny like a weasel" Isabelle push him to the ground and pick up the rope used to hit the dogs when they're out of line.
"Isabelle" Sasha rush after them "Mummy will be out any minute" The girl portray her panick state.
"By then he would be too frail to hold a pencil" Isabelle hit him,Xander yelp out in pain.
"I didn't hit your sister"
"She's my sister"
"No we do not share sisters,you vile witch" Isabelle hit him again " You big bully"
"It's Isabelle, Isabelle Morella Augustyn hear me!!!"She scream and bury his face in the mud.

'What does triplicate wants from Isabelle?'The thought wouldn't leave him, everything he tries to do keep failing and languishing,nothing works,he concluded that the best solution is to get his hands on the death certificate and take her away from here no matter how many stunts she tries "You won't die" Xander mutter "Not now that I'm starting to understand you".
Gary immobility gave the masked man pain than joy after watching the smoochings between Xander and Isabelle he lost all the will to move or plan anything,the chip hadn't work and it won't if he doesn't get approval into emeryk system and That's not going to be possible because there's no way he could go in there,not after his traumatic moments there,but he could get it in only two ways, the first is Emeryk fingers,second his blood.
Emeryk is known for someone with brains and smart thinking ability, if he wasn't one he won't be planning to run for a president after almost destroying his family and crushing them with his toe, he'd his life and plans in order and to find the real working networking password in his lair you've to go through his mansions which is built to the world as a cave and to get into that his blood is needed,the masked man sigh and touch Gary face.
"You made a mistake by trusting me" He put both his hand on Gary head and proceed to snapping it when someone appeared from behind him.
"Chief?"
