The New Girl

Chapter 48: Isadora

*FLASHBACK___ 13 YEARS AGO*

"Isadora!" A woman called as she walked around the house. "C'mon girl, we can't do hide and seek right now" The woman complained but no reply came from the three years old little girl hiding behind the washing machine.

Marissa spot her and sigh. She look so cute. Her black hair way tie into a bun. She was wearing a cute short dress that barely touches her knee.

"Find me mother!" Young Annabelle exclaimed and Marissa chuckled.

"I found you" She grab Annabelle and carried her to herself. "Happy birthday sweetie" she muttered.

They both went to the garden and spot her father, Carson and her elder sister making meat steaks.

"Meat!" Young Annabelle exclaimed.

"Happy birthday sister!" Her elder sister exclaimed and turn to their mother. "Where are we going today?" She asked.

"Your father need to do somethings at work. I'll be taking you girls out. Your father will meet us there" Marissa replied.

"I want to be a detective just like you" Annabelle said to her mother.

"Awwn that's great.. you wanna catch the bad guys with me" Marissa nuzzled Annabelle's cheek and kissed her.

Marissa and Carson had been married for few years and yet their love remain strong. They have two lovely daughters.. Marissa is detective who had won so many cases except on the one she was currently on.

A dangerous Mafia terrorizing the city, that had been the hardest she had ever come across. Her husband Carson work in a company as a manager and they are both living well.

"Happy birthday Isadora, here's what I got for you" Carson said giving a teddy bear to her. Young Annabelle eyes widened in excitement.

"Thanks dad" she smiled showing off her cute dimples.

After the breakfast, Marissa drove the car out with the girls. The sky thundered, it seems it's going to rain really soon. The street look strange and quiet and she feel uncomfortable.

"Mom I'm scared" Annabelle cried out when the thunder roared. She pushed her teddy into her dress and hug it tight.

Marissa turn her head to look at her. "Pet your little sister" she said to Annabelle's elder sister.

Her sister drew her close. "we'll get there soon okay" she kissed Annabelle's head.

The car suddenly stopped and Marissa groan out in frustration. The sky was already pouring heavily already and Annabelle was busy sobbing lightly on her sisters arm. She called her husband first but he didn't pick up, he must be busy with his work.

"Sorry babies, I'll be right back. I need to fix the car" She said and got down. The rain hit her delicate skin but she cared less. While trying to fix the car, a tall figure appeared behind her.

"Who are you?" She asked when her eyes met with a pair of cold eyes. The man grab her neck all of a sudden.

Annabelle and her sister heard the noise outside the car. Out of fear they unlock the car and came down.

"Mommy!!" Annabelle screamed with her sister. The men who was beating Marissa up stopped and move their gaze to them.

"Get back into the car!" Marissa yelled while laying on the floor with blood dripping down her head. One of the kicked her stomach and Annabelle ran towards him and bite him hard. Her sister was so scared she couldn't move.

Annabelle was hit on the face, not minding she was a child, and she fell. The man dragged her up again and pointed a gun on Annabelle's head.

"No" Marissa tried reaching them.

Even with this, Annabelle still gave the man a glare and tried to get away. The man made to shoot the gun but a voice stopped it.

"Don't!"

They all halt and watch a talk figure walk towards them. His eyes cold and deadly. Scar was behind him holding an umbrella over his head to prevent the intense rain.

Lord Smith!

Marissa recognized him and her eyes turn cold. She had been finding a way to put this bastard in jail.

Lord Smith's gaze moved to Annabelle.. she is young and quite viscious.

"Get away from my daughter!" Marissa yelled from the floor. Her leg was broken so she couldn't stand.

"Do you really think you can get me Marissa?" Lord Smith asked. This woman nearly outsmarted him by revealing his identity. At that time, Lord Smith isn't that powerful enough. "This should teach other cops a lesson"

Three gunshot sounded and the bullets hit Marissa chest. Annabelle's sister finally snapped out of her trance. "Mother!" The girl screamed and ran towards her and began to shake her body, her hair cover her face as the rain pour down on them. Marissa's blood mixed with the rain.

"Noo!!" Annabelle screamed in tears.

"What should we do with the girls boss?" One of his tight men asked but Lord Smith didn't reply.

Out of anger, Annabelle freed herself from the guy holding her whilst stealing his knife. She ran towards Lord Smith but was grab by the hair before she could reach him. The knife dropped from her hand.

"Let go off me, how dare you hurt my mother!" She yelled and Lord Smith crouched before her still holding her hair tight.

Scar only stare with a displeasing look. Do they have to involve the kids?

"I'm taking this one with me.. leave the other one" Lord Smith smirked at the girl trying to escape his grip. "What's your name little doll?"

"Go to hell bastard" Young Annabelle spat. Her voice tiny.

"You're quite Young for that word. Guess what little doll. I'll take you in and make you really strong. What do you think? I'll make you a weapon" Lord Smith asked lightly.

"I'm not going anywhere with you" She replied stubbornly but the man smirked.

"Then I'll kill your elder sister too" Lord Smith said and her eyes widened. In the next moment, she felt a sharp thing diving her neck and her eyes turn dizzy.

"Don't kill my sister.." she whispered trying to keep her eyes open.

"I won't kill your sister, I promise" The man whispered too and Annabelle fell into the trance of darkness.

By the time she woke up, she didn't remember anything....

*BACK TO PRESENT*

"I'm gonna kill you!!" Annabelle yelled insanely and charged towards Lord Smith.

She bought out a dagger Swiftly and aim for his neck. The man blocked her attack effortlessly. She watch his grin stretched wider and in the next moment, she was punched in the stomach.

Gawd. He is fast... She didn't even see the attack coming. She charged towards him again. This time, giving her all in it. She jumped and send a kick to his face in other to create a distraction. Immediately he blocked the attack, Annabelle sent her dagger to to his face..

Lord Smith swiftly bend his head one side and the dagger flew pass him.

"What?" Annabelle eyes widened. No one had ever block her attack this way. She never thought this man would be this strong.

Lord Smith send a kick to one side of her waist sending her feet away. Annabelle hit her back with a loud groan.

Ricky who was watching smirked dangerously, he doesn't need to do anything.. his brother is the one to finish her off. She must be so stupid to think she can beat Lord Smith.

"Is that all you've got Doll?" Lord Smith chuckled as he casually tucked both of his hands into his pocket. The look on his face shows he was enjoying this.

"It was impressive" he continued and his eyes slowly turn cold. "How about I show you how it's done"
