Chapter 76 {Mr. Beaufort?}

Isabella smiled softly, her expression tired but satisfied. She nodded at Dr. Smith, then turned to Chozen. Her eyes widen why is he here? No she can't be court by the House of Beaufort Dynasty.

Chozen's eyes met Isabella's as she turned to look at him. He could see the surprise in her expression, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

"Hello," he said quietly, his voice smooth and charming.

"You must be the Miracle Worker I've heard so much about."

"Mr. Beaufort I have heard about your reputation," Isabella said thank goodness he doesn't recognize her but this is bad. she signal Owen to come and help her out of this situation.

Chozen chuckled softly at her words. "Ah, so you've heard of me," he said with a slight smirk.

Owen looked up from what he was doing as Isabella signaled him for help. He could see the worry in her eyes and immediately picked up on the situation.

He walked over to Isabella's side, a friendly smile on his face.

"Hello," he said casually.

"I don't believe we've met before."

Chozen's eyes flickered to Owen, his expression turning slightly guarded. He could sense that the man was trying to interject himself into the conversation.

"No," he said coldly.

"I don't believe we have." His gaze returned to Isabella, studying her intently.

Isabella felt a shiver run down her spine as Chozen's eyes bored into hers. She could feel the intensity of his gaze, and it made her uncomfortable.

Owen picked up on her unease and stepped closer to her, standing slightly in front of her as if trying to shield her from Chozen's gaze.

"Well we should get going," Isabella said quickly, trying to end the conversation before it went any further.

Chozen's expression darkened slightly as Isabella tried to end the conversation. He wasn't used to people dismissing him so easily.

"Wait," he said firmly, taking a step forward.

"I'm not done talking to you yet."

Owen tensed as Chozen took a step forward, his protective instincts kicking in. He instinctively moved closer to Isabella, positioning himself between her and the Beaufort heir.

"She said she's done talking," he said firmly, his voice low and steady.

Chozen's eyes narrowed as he looked at Owen. He wasn't used to being talked back to, especially not by someone who was clearly trying to protect the Miracle Worker.

"And who are you?" he asked coldly.

"Her bodyguard?"

"Her assistant sorry but my boss is done with the operation we are living now," Owen said and the other team also followed them and Isabella sighed she was exhausted. It was 6:00 and she started at 8:00 a.m

Chozen's jaw tightened as he watched the medical team follow Isabella out of the room. He wasn't used to being dismissed like this, but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment.

He watched as she left, his eyes lingering on her figure until she disappeared from sight. He would find a way to talk to her again, even if it meant confronting Owen and the others who were clearly trying to protect her..

As soon as they got outside Isabella let out a sigh of relief. She was exhausted after that long operation. "Let's go home," she said to Owen. No one has been able to get her real identity so everything is fine now she was eating at a cafe she felt tired and exhausted.

"Isabella, you need to be careful Chozen is truly after you I am scared they will use there last method and kidnap?" Owen said as he took a bit of his burger and Isabella sighed she kicked her lips.

Isabella's expression darkened as Owen mentioned Chozen. She knew that he was dangerous and persistent, but she didn't realize just how far he would go to get what he wanted.

"They wouldn't dare," she said quietly, her voice firm.

"I'm not some object they can just take whenever they want."

Isabella felt tired and exhausted but she had to keep going she had to protect her secret from Chozen but why does he wants her so badly she didn't understand why?

Owen watched as Isabella finished her food, his expression worried. He could see the exhaustion in her eyes, but he also knew that she was stubborn and determined.

"You need to rest," he said firmly.

"You've been working nonstop for days now."

"He doesn't know who I am and I am staying away from him," Isabella said as she eat her fries. Isabella eyes slowly closed and then she opened them and sighed.

"Owen just make sure you leave, I already called in a favor so everything should be fine," Isabella said with a gentle yet calm smile on her face felt like they were hiding many mysterious things.

Owen nodded and began to pack up his things.

"I guess this is where we part ways then," he said with a smile.

"Take care of yourself, doc."

Isabella smiled faintly as she watched him leave.

"You too," she said quietly before turning her attention back to her fries.

Isabella looked out the window as she ordered more food. She felt so hungry Isabella was calm and quiet. Isabella stood up and she walked back to the Space Empire Hotel.

"Miss. Willow!" Zal shouted and Isabella turned around isn't that Chozen assistant or Bulter?

Isabella froze as she saw Zal standing there. She knew that he was Chozen's assistant and that meant he could be a threat to her secret.

"Yes?" she said quietly, trying to keep her voice steady.

Zal approached her with a polite smile on his face, but there was something calculating in his eyes.

"Mr. Beaufort has been looking for you," he said smoothly.

"He would like to speak with you as soon as possible."

"Sorry I can't I am tired," Isabella said indifferently.

Zal's smile widened slightly, but his eyes narrowed.

"I'm afraid he was quite insistent," he said pleasantly.

"He won't take no for an answer."

Zal chuckled softly, his expression becoming more menacing.

"You don't understand," he said slowly.

"Mr. Beaufort is not used to being told no. And he always gets what he wants."

Isabella raised an eyebrow

"Then maybe you shouldn't work for him if he's such a terrible person."

Zal's expression darkened at her words, his eyes turning cold.

"You don't know anything about Mr. Beaufort," he said lowly.

"He is a powerful man, and it would be unwise to cross him."

"Unwise? Or just plain stupid?" Isabella shot back. "If he thinks he can bully me, he's got another thing coming. Tell him this to go and fuck himself," Isabella said and she walked off and pushed the elevator she isn't in the mood to deal with Chozen at the moment. Zal groaned this woman! She doesn't know who she is messing with.

Zal clenched his fists in frustration as he watched Isabella walk away. He was used to people fearing Chozen and doing whatever he wanted, but this woman seemed completely unafraid.

"Damn it," he muttered under his breath before pulling out his Lexeni phone to call Chozen and tell him about the encounter.

Chozen was in his room office when Zal called him, his expression darkening as he listened to the report.

"She refused?" he said coldly.

"She actually had the nerve to refuse me?"

Zal nodded grimly on the other end of the line.

"Yes, sir," he said.

"She was quite firm about it."

Chozen's eyes narrowed as he clenched his jaw in anger. He was not used to being refused, and the fact that this woman had dared to defy him infuriated him.

"Find her," he said through gritted teeth.

"I want you to find her and bring her to me."

"Lord Chozen how about we try that within the next day?" Zal asked.

Chozen's expression darkened even further at Zal's suggestion.

"No," he said firmly.

"I want her brought to me now."

Zal swallowed nervously as Chozen's tone left no room for argument.

"But sir this is at your hotel she already in your web," he said quickly.

Chozen's eyes narrowed as he considered Zal's words.

"Oh yes I forgot" he said slowly, his tone dangerous.

Zal nodded nervously on the other end of the line.

"Yes sir," he said quickly.

"Good," Chozen said coldly.

"Keep an eye on her and let me know if she tries to leave."

He ended the call and leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile on his face. Soon she would be right where he wanted her.

Zal put away his Lexeni phone and let out a shaky breath. He knew that Chozen was dangerous when he was angry, and he had just witnessed firsthand how furious the Beaufort heir could be.

He quickly made his way back to the hotel lobby, keeping an eye on Isabella's location through the security cameras.
