Chapter 213: Appeasing a Princess
Isabella was pouting while laying on her stomach. She was resting on her bed impatiently, waiting for her brother to bring her flowers in recompense for his earlier misdeeds. Though for whatever reason he had flown out to Mexico City to purchase them, he was, in her honest opinion, taking far too long. And thus she had decided to bug him.
Around the rest of the cartel, Isabella put up the front of a sadistic bitch, but around her elder half-brother she acted like an adorable little sister, one that he couldn’t help but spoil. In truth, her actual personality was neither of these two things, but she had never revealed her actual face to anyone before.
Angel was obviously pissed off about something, because he quickly snapped at the girl for her, interrupting his brooding time.
“God fucking dammit Isabella! I’m working on it! But It’s going to be awhile before I can fly back to the compound. For fuck’s sake, can’t you be more patient?”
This harsh tone and vicious remark caused the girl to visibly pout, though on the inside she was extremely angry at her elder half brother for treating her like a nuisance. Still, for the sake of appearances, she had to act cute, which is exactly what she did.
“Big brother is such a meanie!”
This remark caused Angel to roll his eyes and sigh. He quickly reached over and showed the girl the lilies he had purchased for her. The sight of which made her smile and clap her hands in an exaggerated display of excitement. Seemingly switching from pouty to happy in an instant.
“Yay, big brother is the best!”
This compliment caused the young man to get out of his funk and instead forced him to smile and shake his head before assuring the girl she would have her flowers by dinner that night.
Isabella’s lips curled into a sneer as she gave the man an order.
“I need you to kidnap a man for me. Beware he has amble hand to hand combat experience, and is an American, so he probably knows how to shoot guns as well... Bring him to the usual place! And whatever you do... Don’t tell the old man!”
If internal panic could be heard over the silene of a phone call, then Isabella certainly heard it at this moment, as the man on the other end of the line struggled once more to find his voice. He was sort of in a damned if you do damned if you don’t kind of situation.
On the one hand, if he denied a direct order from the Cartel’s beloved princess, his fate would be worse than death. On the other hand, it sounded like the princess was saying that she was going to do something against her father’s wishes, and if the old man found out that he helped her accomplish this, his fate would be worse than death.
Thus, with a heavy sigh and defeated tone in his voice, the man on the other end of the line relented to the Princess’s demands.
“Alright... I got it.... Send me the identity of the target and his last known location, and I’ll let you know when I have him prepared for you.”
Isabella once more smiled something wicked as she nodded her head and accepted the man’s response as satisfactory with a chilling tone in her voice.
“Good... Don’t screw this up!”
After saying this, Isabella hung up, leaving the man on the other end of the line nearly pissing his pants in fright. One thing was certain, Alex was about to have a very unique first encounter with Mexico’s most vicious cartel and their crazy princess. An encounter that would undoubtedly cause some serious tension between Jalisco and the Zetas.
