Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine

“Vanessa! Please come in here.” Samson’s voice was sharp.

She flinched. Would he lash out at her? Hit her? Bite her? Kill her?

Vanessa appeared instantly.

“This is taking way too much time. Could you please stay back and watch her while I and the guys pay Saunders a visit” Samson asked.

Vanessa nodded. "Yeah sure. No problem.

" Thank you" Samson replied, and after one glance in Isabella's direction, he bolted from the room.

Isabella's eyes followed him before she looked back at Vanessa who casually sat on the wide bed as if nothing had happened.

“He wanted to kill me, didn’t he?” Isabella asked Vanessa. "If I try to leave then he's going to kill me, isn't he? That's why he doesn't want me to leave. He thinks I'm going to tell the whole world what he is... That he is a vampire"

Vanessa nodded. “Yes, he will” she replied, and grinned devilishly at Isabella. "He will compel you and bite you and drain you of every drop of blood in your body"
