THE INMATE

Sister's Rivalry

Clark's POV

“Now you are going to pretend like you don't know what I am talking about right? Well, news flash hubby, you've been caught in your shitty game”. Her voice was louder than thunder.

I chuckled a little, then smiled at her.

“I can unalive you, you know?” I mumbled, then she glanced at me with shock.

Speechless, I could feel her bones breaking.

“He sent me, and you both are going to do, just as I say, now get you shitty self downstairs and play wicked. You better not mess with me girl, or I'm going to have both of your fingers ripped off gradually”. I breathed out, then went to her, smiled and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

“Now go down there Sweetheart and do just as I have commanded, else you won't be seeing both your Sis and your cute Emia”. I said, brushing her hair backwards.

“I never told you my brother's name” She mumbled, frightened, slightly pulling away from me.

“More reasons why you have to be scared of me”. I muttered, rubbed my hands together, then left the room.

Back to the sitting room, Victoria was anxiously waiting for us. Her eyes didn't shift from mine as I walked down the stairs with a smile.

“What do you want? What do you think you are doing, getting my sister involved in this mess?”. Victoria barked as she approached me with disdain.

“And who are you to ask him that, Miss Victoria Cliff?!” Isabella interrupted as she climbed down.

I looked up to her with a smile, she rested her hands on my shoulder. “So sorry for that disrespect Babe, I assure you, this will be the last of it”. She continued, then walked past me.

“I didn't know a sister of mine could be such a snake!” she spat, then Victoria quickly went on her knees.

“I can explain Bella, please… Do not hate me. It was…”

“Shh… no need”. Isabella shushed, then looked at me and smiled.

“Just do as he says, else… I'll have your head rolling on the streets of California”. She concluded, while walking past her with a quack.

I didn't know how to react, but one thing I was certain about, was that Isabella ATE the role.

Damn! And that's what I call a partner.

“You've done well Babe, I'll meet you in the room”. I said, before she walked away.

“What have you done?! You've poisoned my sister's mind. You want her to hate me right?! Well, congratulations… you just won yourself a trophy. You made a big mistake getting her…”

“If I were you, I wouldn't be threatening. I would rather be on my knees, crawling for mercy”. I interrupted, then she let out a weird laughter

“Mercy you say?!”. She repeated, then laughed again.

“You know, a few minutes ago, I had my regrets but right now?!”. She mumbled, peering deep into my eyes.

“If I could turn back the hands of the clock, I would repeat the same action. But this time, it will be genuine”. She said and I got really pissed. My eyes began to twitch.

“Get lost before I lose it”. I thundered heavily, while struggling to control my breath.

“What is my first task?”. She said, with a dry smile.

“Just go” I let out coldly, but she refused. She stood her ground.

“I won't step an inch, not until you tell me what my first task is”. She said rudely.

“You want to know huh?!”. I let out more pissed. “That's cool”. I said, then brutally grabbed her hands and dragged her to my sacred room.

“Now grab one, you bitch”. I mumbled.

She was stunned, she gazed at me, then to the powdered packaged drugs in front of her.

“Dru—gs?!”. She stuttered.

“Now you're gonna act like some wet puppy, yeah? Listen to me bitch. I warned you, I freed you, but you chose this, and now you have to pay”. My eyes and hers met, her mouth slightly opened. Her breathing increased, puffing her chest non-stop.

“You have one hour to deliver this to my client. Every detailed information will be forwarded to your email. Drive safe”. I said, tossing one of my car keys to her.

“But, I can't even d—”

“Your time starts now, and you better not be late”. I interrupted, then walked away.

“Boss?” Anthony's voice cut my attention as I stepped out of the room.

“Mr Wong…” He paused, looking at Victoria shocked, as she stepped out of the room.

“Send his address to her, she will have it delivered”. I said, then dusted my hands, before Victoria angrily sighed and left.

There was a quick smile on my face. Then Anthony turned to look at Victoria who left, then gazed back at me.

“You trust her?”. He said, quite anxiously.

“Yeah, I do. And she won't try to mess with me, just forward the address to her”. I mumbled, then he nodded gently.

“There is an update. Don't you think it's time you return to the office?”. Anthony said, with his face innocently looking.

“I will, perhaps tomorrow. You should go get everything fixed. I wish not to be delayed. Let me go speak with my newly found wife”. I let out with a smile, Anthony returned then gesture, then walked away.

I turned, surprised, Isabella was standing behind me.

“Babe”. I let out stunned, while approaching her.

“You don't look happy, how long have you been standing there?”. I whispered, trying to touch her cheeks, but she snapped my hands away.

“What do you want from us?”. She mumbled annoyed.

“Us?! Who are the “us?”. I laughed, then she hissed and narrowed her eyes towards my door.

“You know Victoria is my sister. My brother is in jail, yet you sent her to go deliver some drugs. Do you want her caught and imprisoned as well?”. She barked.

“You both are safe with me”. I said, grabbing her hands, but her body was immediately covered with goosebumps.

“You hate me now, don't you?”. I whispered, staring into her eyes, as tears began to drip down.

“I never liked you. You irritate me with your prese—”

“Shh… don't say that, you will hurt me”. I interrupted, pressing my hands to her lip.

“Hurt you?!”. She repeated with a smirk.

“Do you even know what it means to be hurt? You freaking don't have any idea, so don't go telling me about all of that bullshit. I regret ever h…”

“Helping me?!” I whispered low.

She paused, with her wet eyes she glanced at me. I was almost tearing up, I don't know why, but I had to be strong not to let a tear drop.

“What do you want from me?”. She slowly let out after a deep breath.

But I couldn't say a word. I just kept staring dumb at her.

Perhaps her words got to me.

“Hmm, so much from a lady I want to help. You are free to go, I won't stop you”. I whispered, then walked away without turning back.

In my bedroom, I sat, soaked with confusion. Kept hissing countlessly, until my door clicked open. I turned to the direction, it was Isabella. She was carrying a tray of fruit juice.

“Why are you still here?”. I mumbled with irritation, but she didn't say a word, she dropped the tray beside me.

“You should have some, it will help you to feel relaxed”. She said, then sat on the coach close to me.

“You poisoned it, r…”

“I'm yet to have your kind of mind”. She said, then poured out a glass of the juice and drank. “This should be enough assurance”. She added, placing the glass cup back on the tray.

“Why are you doing all of these? You don't want to go home anymore?”. I questioned, but she only smiled at me.

“You should go, I won't stop you”. I said.

“You know where I live. It was easy for you to abduct me. Tell me, what's the need for me to go back when you can find me whenever you want?” I laughed, harder than I wanted. She glanced at me confused.

“Why are you laughing?” she said, but it made me laugh even more.

“Why do you think so highly of yourself? Look around, do I look like some desperate street boys?” I mumbled, then she got pissed.

“I'll be in my room”. She said, before she left.

I smiled, then glanced at the fruit juice. “Wouldn't it be better to just wife her?”. I mumbled with a smile, then laid back on my bed.

“Isabella Santiago”. I whispered repeatedly, then sucked in a deep breath, before taking a sip from the fruit juice as I sat up.

“Wow, Nice”. I muttered, before my door bell rang.

Bewildered, I was shocked to see Victoria barge into my room.

“Jeez!” I let out confused, as she stood with her face buried, while holding out a later.

“You do have lots of nerves to climb my stairs, let alone barge into my room unannounced, right?” I barked, then she immediately went on her knees.

“I'm sorry. But Bella asked me to come”. She said, breathing heavily.

“Bella?!” I repeated.

“You shouldn't address her like that? use better phrases like Fiancé, understood?”. I said, then she nodded, then stretched her hands with the letter in it.

“What's that?”. I muttered, trying to see through the papers.

“Mr. Wong, he asked that I give it to you”. She said, then I grabbed the paper from her.

I kept smiling upon every read, but not until the last part where he mentioned he wanted a one night stand with Victoria.

“How dare he send this to me?”. I blurted out, then she raised her head at me.

“Did I do something wrong?”. She said, frightened.

I looked at her for a moment, confused on what to say, because Wong applauded her professionalism.

“Yes”. I angrily said, banging my hands on the wall.

“Why the heck will you put on a sexy dress to go deliver drugs?” I said, then she got confused and looked at herself.

“It's just a flare gown Sir. Besides I didn't know I was going to get that delivered” She mumbled, then paused as my eyes and hers met “Sexy clothes should fit more for the job, to get officers confused, in case I get stopped on the way”. She continued, but I got even more angry.

“Oh really?! That's it! You want to sell your body, yeah? You think this game is a joke huh?! Or some Botel where you get to sleep with men?!” I said angrily, then she twisted her face confused.

“It's my body”. She said in a low mocking tone.

“Your body?!” I flared up

“You think it's your body?! Well, it might be your body, but hence you are under me, your body belongs to me, so you better be careful not to get me pissed”.

“Get the heck outta my room”. I added, then she laughed and left.

“She's laughing?”. I whispered confused, then angrily went and bolted my door.

“But why the heck am I angry?”. I mumbled, before my eyes got to the letter.

“Wong”. I said annoyed, then grabbed my phone and placed a call across.

“Hey good friend. What's good?”. He said over the phone as picked up.

“I got your message”. I mumbled, still annoyed.

“Oh! Yeah… do you think it's a considerable offer?”. He said, making me even more pissed. I didn't want to sound rude. Wong has been a great partner, and losing him because of Victoria isn't worth it.

“Yeah, such a great offer. I appreciate, but… she's mine”. I said politely.

“Oh damn! That's bad news bro. I was really looking forward to the offer. She must really be a bad ass, for you to bring her into the game”. He said.

“Umm… ye—ah”. I stuttered, as Isabella walked in, with her arms crossed, while listening to my conversation.

“Let me call you back Wong, duty calls”. I said, then he laughed and ended the call.

“Hey, what's up?” I mumbled, panicked.

“I need us to talk about Victoria”. She said, then sat on the couch.
