Ch-21
Isabel had already collected the documents she needed from Oliver and Emma.The only thing she had to do now was leave and finally plan her steps for James's downfall.Then set herself free from him.
Her divorce documents were all complete,the only thing she needed was to deliver them.
Finally the day to leave this place had come.Last night she stayed over at a hotel,using the excuse of a friend.Isabel couldn't stand another night next to him.What if he did the same thing he did the day before?She couldn't risk it.
Boarding the plane,her mind finally fell in peace and she closed her eyes to catch up on the sleep she had lost these nights.
But Isabel didn't know that in this journey she wasn't alone.Somebody had continuesly followed her even boarding the same plane.
Meanwhile James was asking his aide,sitting in his office chair.
"Did she board the plane?"
"Yes,sir.Our people personally saw and sent a photo."
"Perfect."James smiled delightfully,but his eyes had a cruel and cold glint.His biggest obstacle would soon be gone.Goodbye my dear Isabel!Soon everything you own will be mine!
Isabel was the only heir to the Ricci family inheritance,by no other legal or blood relatives existing,everything would be his if the only Ricci heir tragically died in an accident.
When James first approached Isabel,he never thought he would go this far for the things she owned.At first he thought that if he was Isabels husband and she madly loved him,she would be giving him everything at the snap of his fingers.
But Isabel was a stubborn and not easily fooled.If she saw no value in what he had to offer,she wouldn't consider giving him a cent.She never mixed her private life with her work life. She didn't spare him,her 'beloved' husband.Isabel was a business genius and never easily impressed,so no matter his suggestions,ideas she would find loopholes and refuse.Though James hated to admit it,he didn't have any talent in business and compared to Isabel,it was like comparing a simple physics teacher with Einstein.
In WAZ he was just a puppet CEO,the real brains and decision maker was Isabel,but he had tried hard to cover this fact.So noone knew that the young genius CEO was a she.
Getting the ilegal dealings was really hard to do behind Isabels back.He had worked really hard on that,so he would never allow a divorce to happen,the possibility of Isabel becoming a shareholder.If that happened it would be game over.She could easily get the people to become the CEO,since those old people in the board of directors only cared about results and money.Who would they chose?A genius with a powerful background or an average son of a nouve rich family?The answer was obvious.
Isabel if you had played the role of a good wife who listens to her husband,you wouldn't have to lose your life.Don't blame me,just blame yourself for being too ambitious.

Gael was enjoying the trip with his father and grandfather,but his thoughts would wander to Isabel most of times.
Was she okay?She had to stay with that ******* for a few days,so of course she couldn't be fine.What if he did something bad to her?Seeing that she hadn't sent him any messages,had made him a bit worried.Gael had called her and asked a few times,but she had told him everything was okay for now,she would explain things when they meet.
"Just enjoy your trip.You should cherish the time with your family."
Even though the words sounded reassuring,Gaels instinct told him something was wrong.
He called her now,but her phone was off,then he remembered that today she would return to country 'I' ,now she was probably on the plane.
"Gael,what are you doing over there?Come and check this view!Kids nowdays with their gadgets!"
Gael rolled his eyes when he heard his father and quickly followed them up the hill.Seeing his son effortlessly climb and not being short of breath,Gaels father didin't know if her should be proud or jealous of his sons young physique.
"You're not that bad kid.Seems like you exercise regularly.*Sigh*I remember when I used to be like you and tried to impress your mother.Enjoy it,in a few years you'll be waking everday with a new body part aching."
"I'll say." Gaels grandfather spoke from the other side and also sighed.
"Why so down?Compared to the people your age they would be stuck halfway the hill.You still are going strong impressing your ladies."
"You really know what to say,huh cheeky boy?"Gaels grandfather was obviously pleased and patted his back then he took out his camera while pointing at the place."Look how beautiful the world is!" and then took a few shots.Gaels father also did the same.
Gael finally turned his head and saw the beautiful valley,the river taking a golden colour as the sun was slowly going down in the west.He immediately took a few shots.Indulging in natures beauty he was reminded of Isabel.She would love to see this.When everything would be over,he would bring her here so they could both enjoy this.
