Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 248 - Two Hundred And Forty-eight: Return Home

The third point of view

"Ninety-seven…. Ninety-eight…."

The crowd of onlookers counted down as the girl standing upside down chugged from the tapped key without anyone holding her up.

"Hundred!"

They all cheered as she climbed down.

"Izzy!" " Izzy!" "Izzy!"

The girl roared victoriously, beating her chest and splashing the remaining alcohol in her mouth out in the open.

"That was awesome, girl! I saved this special drink for you," That rat called her girlfriend handed a plastic cup to her which Isabella accepted, yet the girl was oblivious to the faint sly smile curving her lips.

"Hey, babe," Her rat of a boyfriend also appeared by her side, intending to kiss her but Isabelle pressed a finger against his lips, then gripped his chin to deviate his face to the side.

"Not now nor ever" she pushed his face away.

The rat of a best friend smiled uneasily, "Izzy, what are you doing? He's Kelvin,"

Isabella smirked, "Ooh, you must be so sad watching me do that" she pouted.

"W-what?" the fake bitch's voice cracked.

Without wasting time, Isabella took the cup and baptized her cheater boyfriend with it.

"Izzy!" the best friend was alarmed.

"I might be a bitch but I don't two-time, at least have some *dicknity," she emphasized.

"Isabelle, are you out of your mind. That's Kelvin you're -"?the girl couldn't finish the rest of her words, gasping from shock when a whole content was splashed on her, attracting startled gasps from the students.

"I can condone everything, but not unfaithful, cheating backstabbing bitch," her eyes roved over the both of them disgustedly, "Happy relationship pals, you fuckers deserve each other," She said and strutted away from the discovered couples who were still frozen from shock.

How did she find out? They had been very careful, having known Isabella was a very cautious and sensitive person.

Isabella, though smug facially but inwardly, was hurt at the outcome. She had found out about their illicit relationship while guzzling down that booze.

While she had been standing upside down, Isabella had seen her so thought girlfriend throwing herself at Kelvin and him tucking her hair behind her ear, and both leaving tactically afterward- one after the other. She wasn't a fool not to know what was going on between them.

Fine, before the end of the night, she would get a new girlfriend and boyfriend to fill that vacancy - they always drew to her like a moth to a flame.

So, Isabelle sat on the sofa watching the other kids party. One of the popular kids at school called the party and Of course, she was the esteemed guest. Isabella didn't need to date some stupid dork or pull a stupid stunt to be famous, her achievements spoke for her.

With her publishing company doing fine, a high IQ that made several universities scout her whenever she steps out, coupled with the fact she's a popular rich man's daughter, why wouldn't fame come to her? Moreover, other than that, she has her own YouTube channel where she videos herself playing extreme sports and millions of people click to watch that.

Isabella had offers to skip high school, going to college straight away, however, what was the use of rushing life? So she went through the complete school years alongside those losers who fought to stay beside her during exams.

But this particular night, Isabella was not at peace. Ever since her father, Niklaus made his intention of marrying Neon's mother known, her mood went down the drain.

Sure, she loved Neon but having to call Jennifer, "mother" would be an impossible feat. It sounded stupid but she didn't want any woman occupying Maya's place in her father's mind - that would be her burden for not protecting Maya properly.

The only reason she had accepted Neon was that she wanted to prove to Maya that she was a good kid - she would train Neon into a fine young man. Hopefully?

"Yo, Izzy, you should come see this!" She heard Dustin, one of the bad kids at school yell her name - she knew all the bad kids at school.

"Not interested," She threw her head back against the sofa, gluing her eyes to the ceiling while kids around her got wasted.

"Trust me, it's about your old man! You'd be so shocked!" the kid pressed.

Isabella wouldn't have bothered, but Dustin was one of the few kids who respected her wishes, so for him to be this persistent? Something must be up.

Isabelle dragged herself to the counter where the guy was seated and taking a whiff from his cigarette while watching a video from his phone.

"What is it?" She rested her chin on Dustin's shoulder from behind.

"Your man is so good at this," He chuckled, eyes on the screen.

What was so interesting about….

Isabella's blood ran cold as she watched the video of her father kissing this strange woman passionately. She should have known her father would never change! Not only did he betray Maya, but Jennifer as well?

Furious, she was close to giving up on the video when the woman's face came to view. What the fuck.

Isabella snatched the phone from Dustin's grasp who tried to retaliate but she turned his face away causing him to groan in irritation. They weren't friends but they weren't enemies either, both worked mutually.

How was this possible? Isabella was mystified. Even in her dreams, there was no way she wouldn't recognize that face amid the different hair color.

"W-hen? " she stuttered out of emotion

"When what?" Dustin was confused.

"When did this video emerge? Last year?" she didn't want to get her hopes high yet.

"Are you kidding me? The video went viral today," was his response.

Isabella's heart skipped a beat. If it was really this morning, then that means Maya was alive? Oh my God, she was alive!

"I need to go," Isabella felt like flying, her mind reeling with a million possibilities.

"Alright - wait, what? My cell phone! "

But the girl had zoomed off.

"That would cost you a lot," Dustin shouted after her but Isabelle was not listening, she had other plans in mind.

"Taxi," she flagged down one at once as soon as she got outside.

Once in the car, she scheduled a flight back home, it was time to confirm her fear. Done with that, Isabelle began to glance through popular blogs, and news to get more details about Maya.

"Reina?" her eyes narrowed together in confusion, " Born in….." she blabbered on, doing a background?check on that woman, "Reina Armadi, daughter to a mysterious businessman…"

Isabella couldn't understand what was going on, but whatever this game was, she would unravel it!

"Isabelle," Jennifer noticed her when she hurried into the house. But the girl ignored her - the current behavior-?and rushed into her room.

She would have let Isabella be, but the way the girl had stormed into the house told the lady something was up.

"Izzy, "Jennifer walked into her room, shocked to see her packing clothes into a bag in a hurry.

"Isabelle? What the hell is going on? " she asked, but the girl ignored her.

"Did you get yourself into trouble? What kind of trouble did you create this time?" she was worried and made it to her bed where her packing bag laid.

"I don't have time to explain any of this, so just let me be!" Isabella yelled at her unintentionally yet made no move to apologize, heading to the bathroom to get her toiletries instead.

Jennifer was not bothered by her rude attitude, she had gotten used to it over the years- that was Isabella for you. But the blatant disrespect started after her father announced their engagement.

The woman sighed, contemplating on notifying Niklaus of his daughter's sudden activity when her eyes fell on a cellphone on the girl's bed- there was a paused video.

Intrigued yet nervous when she made out Niklaus's face, Jennifer made the video to play and was shocked out of her mind to see him kissing another woman.

Tears sprang from her eyes, her hand cupping the sobs from escaping while watching the video.

"Seriously!" Jennifer heard Isabella hiss from behind and the phone was snatched from her hand, " Don't you know the invasion of privacy is a crime," She glared at the woman.

"Is Niklaus, isn't it?" she cried, "He's kissing another woman and that's why you want to leave… you want to confront him about it, I'm right, aren't I?"

"Instead of bawling your eyes out like a ten-year-old, why don't you dress up and go confront him about it too, why are you so damn weak?!" Isabella shouted at her, regretting her action as Jennifer burst into more tears.

Seriously, Isabella was irritated. This woman reminded her of her cousin, Annabelle.

"Alright, Jennifer, go and get dressed. Let's go and confront your cheater fiancé," She coaxed the woman.

Isabella knew Jennifer didn't recognize the woman from that video as Maya nor was she ready to tell her so- that one was on Niklaus. Moreover, she had her own mission to accomplish.
