Blackmailing His Runaway Bride by Dance-is-me (mobi reader txt) 📖

“No,” Gabriel’s voice boomed thickly. “You can’t do this! You can’t separate us. We are meant to be together. Isabella…” The hard look in his eyes was one she had never seen before. It almost seemed like he was a real-life monster, the way he lunged at her from his seat. 

“Isabella look at me. I am your husband. Your father gave you to me remember? You belong to me!” 

“Can someone please restrain him?” The Judge requested as she and her team tidied up the table. “Call the guards please.” 

“Isabella!” The victorious woman jolted in fear as Gabriel roared her name and she felt chills run down to her feet. 

Someone came in on cue with uniformed men and made for the ravaging man. “Mr. Manifold, you need to be calm,” one of the men said. Isabella noticed they wore police uniforms. “Please stay calm and come with us.”

“No! I have to take Isabella with me.” The heavy frame of the man was an advantage as he managed to weasel out of the hands that were trying to pin him down. Eyes bulged, Gabriel kept using his unstable stance to ruin the peace of the room.

“I told you…” Charles’s voice joined the party and Isabella certainly didn’t miss the glow in the Judge’s eyes as he entered. “You can’t have Isabella. I told you that I’ll make sure of it.” 

“Please take him away,” Mr. Richard said to the cops as he wore a frown at the crazy sight in front of him. 

“You can’t do this to me.” Cuffs came onto Gabriel's wrists as he made to fly over the desk and approach Isabella. The men dragged him back with his clasped hands. “Your mother promised, pretty boy. She promised Isabella to me, so why are you doing this?" Gabriel questioned and Charles wore a little frown.

“What are you saying?” 

“She promised that Isabella would be mine. She said I won’t go to jail.” Gabriel danced as the men finally held him firmly. “All I had to do was get rid of him.” 

Isabella had no idea whether to laugh bitterly or sigh at the height of insanity Charles’s mother had shown so far. Of all things she could have done to separate her and Charles, approaching Gabriel will always be the worst. 

But, striking a deal with him? No doubt, disaster was certain. 

Charles looked interested in what the man was spewing. “Who did she ask you to get rid of?”

“Why should I tell you?” 

“Would you rot in jail then?”

“Okay, okay. I’ll tell you. It is a man she asked me to kill and his name is Rodrigo Ordinaz.” Unfamiliar with the name, Isabella made to look up at Charles but he had already slumped onto a nearby chair, his eyes red with anger.
