Thump! Thump!
Isaac bounced the bat on his hand as snazzynovel.com walked over toward Edward.
“Isaac, what the f*ck are you trying to do? Let me go! Get your f*cking hands off me!” Edward roared.
“If you dare to hit me now, the Owens will never forgive you! The Owens have promised us protection. We’re working together now. Get the f*ck away from me!”
Alec watched as Isaac menacingly walked toward his son. He pointed at Isaac and yelled, “If you dare to…”
Thwack!
The baseball bat hit Edward squarely and heavily on his ankle.
“F*ck!” Edward tensed and screamed in pain as snazzynovel.com started to tremble.
Alec’s eyes doubled in size. Margaret, on the other hand, covered snazzynovel.com eyes in fright.
Isaac lifted the baseball bat again and swung it at Edward’s other ankle.
Crack!
“F*ck!” Edward fell to the floor and started spasming in pain, screaming like a pig about to be slaughtered.
“Now that I’ve hit you, what will you do about it? The Owens family doesn’t even exist anymore,” Isaac said, snazzynovel.com then turning to look at Andrew.
Andrew began to tremble in fear as Isaac walked over toward him. “W-What are you going to do? No, don’t hit me! Please, no!”
“Should I?” Isaac asked, turning to Allegra.
Allegra’s face was void of all emotions. “Hit him…”
Thwack!
The baseball bat landed heavily on Andrew’s knee. A loud crack resonated through the room. Andrew screamed and slumped forward, passing out from the pain.
“My son! Andrew!” Margaret cried.
She started to yell, “Curse you, Isaac!”
Meanwhile, Alec’s face was as pale as a sheet. He didn’t dare to say anything anymore.
Thump!
Isaac dropped the baseball bat onto the ground and turned to face Alec.
He laughed and said, “Don’ t worry, old man, even if your son wanted to kill himself, I wouldn’t let snazzynovel.com die so easily. I will make you all suffer for as long as possible. You’ll beg me to end your misery when I’m finally done with you.”
Isaac’s last sentence hit the older man right in the heart.
Splutter!
Alec opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell backward.
“Father!”
“Grandpa!”
Margaret and Willow screamed as they rushed over to Alec.
“Let’s go,” Isaac said to the bewildered Allegra. They headed out of the house.
In the car, Allegra kept looking outside the window as tears rolled down snazzynovel.com cheeks.
Isaac reached out and held snazzynovel.com in his arms, asking softly, “Why are you still crying? Isn’t Bella in safe hands now?”
Allegra didn’t fight this time. There were some things snazzynovel.com just couldn’t understand. She leaned against Isaac’s shoulder and started crying out loud.
Back at Riverview, both of them had just gotten from the car when Isabella and the other girl hopped down the steps to greet them.
“Mommy! Daddy! You’re back! ” Isabella ran into snazzynovel.com mother’s arms happily, as if the past 24 hours hadn’t happened.
Both Isaac and Allegra were shocked to hear snazzynovel.com calling them that.
“Shush, don’t simply call snazzynovel.com that. You have to call snazzynovel.com ‘Mister’,” Allegra gently chided as snazzynovel.com tapped Isabella’s butt.
Isaac was grinning so widely his eyes couldn’t be seen anymore.
Isabella put a finger in front of snazzynovel.com lips and said quietly, “I forgot that it’s a secret!”
Allegra put Isabella down and looked at the other girl they’d rescued. Turning to Isaac, snazzynovel.com asked, “What are we supposed to do with her?”
