<h4>Chapter 507 - Five Hundred And Seven: That Little Thing Never Sees The Limelight</h4>


    The third point of view:


    "What?!" Isabe was stunned out of her mind and apparently, she wasn''t the only one startled as well since the others had simr shocked expressions. Like who does that? Put a tracker on their kid.


    Isabe''s mind began to function a mile per minute as she assessed her brain. When had Nius put a tracker in her? When was thest time she had a dental appointment? How hasn''t she noticed? She couldn''t remember having dental surgery? It seems her father was always one step ahead of her.


    "Of course, I''m pulling your leg," Nius smiled at her and for once, Isabe pulled a relived breath, her heart pounding against her chest. That wasn''t funny one bit.


    But was that really a joke? She couldn''t help but wonder. Nius was a nut job, it wouldn''t startle her if he really went through it. Seems she had no choice but to check it when she returns. It always pays to be careful.


    "I don''t need to track you down to know that the only ce you would hide is Maya''s ce where Eden would never think of. Moreover, I own the building. What makes you think I wouldn''t notice someone moved in no matter how much you bribed my security," He said to her.


    "I wasn''t bribing him, I simply…. " She scratched the back of her head, "You know, helped out in looking after Maya''s ce. You''re not the only one who has a special tether to the building," Isabe couldn''t even believe her own lie.


    "Anyway," Nius waved it aside, "Pack your bag, we''re leaving," he dropped the not so weed news.


    "What?!" Isabe paled. No, this was what she dreaded. He can''t just take her away from the others, they were in this together.


    "I meant all of you," Nius added as if he read her inner turmoil.


    Everyone''s jaw dropped, they weren''t expecting this. In the worst scenario, they imagined all of their parent''sing to take them one after the other.


    "Unless of course, you want Eden to do the job, and trust me, he''s not as enthusiastic as I am right now," Nius checked his wristwatch, "You have less than thirty minutes before he blocks all possible routes in and out of here,"


    Isabe was furious, "You told him about our location?! I can''t believe you".


    "I didn''t need to do anything after your friends literally gave out your location," Nius handed his phone to her.


    "Anabelle!" It yed the footage of Julie going after Anabelle the time she took off during thepetitive eating. Apparently, someone had caught it on camera.


    "Right now, I bet Eden has seen the video and it''s trying to map out your location. It won''t be long before he figures Maya''s ce had been the missing puzzle all this while. So it''s up to you," Nius referred to all of them because whether they agreed or not, he''s leaving with Isabe, " You can choose toe with me and spend the night over at my ce. Come morning, we settle whatever it is going on with you guys or you can choose to stay, try to run, or something,"


    His gaze darkened, "But trust me, Eden has eyes all over the city and who knows, I might lend him my strength as well. You guys can only run far enough before you''re captured like rats in a cage trap," He gave them the option to choose.


    "So in one word," Julie started, "We can choose to go with you the greater evil who is kind of tamed right now or my future father-inw who''s on a mission to break up us..." he looked around, "I''ll go with option one,"


    Julie walked over to Nius, "Nice to meet you, Sir Nius, I''m Julie. I believe this is our first official meeting,"


    But Nius gave him the look, "You''re the kid who got my daughter into an unofficial engagement and this mess. What makes you think I wouldn''t bury you in a shallow grave right now?"


    Julie awkwardly withdrew his hand. The man was scary but he bet he had more to him than he showed. Although Julie couldn''t be too sure. With a crazy daughter Isabe, he wouldn''t be surprised if Nius, her father, turned out worse.


    "Sir, although we had a rocky start," Julie draped his arms casually around Isabe''s shoulder, pressing her closer to him, "I believe Isabe and I have resolved our differences and we are the best of buddies right now," Julie lied through his teeth. He and Isabe were like Fire and Ice.


    But then, Julie never expected that he made a wrong move because Nius'' gaze narrowed at his hand on his daughter''s shoulder and roared,


    "Get your paws off her right now!"


    Before Julie could even obey his order, Nius had already grabbed his shirt, tugging him forward, and growled at his face, "I don''t know what your deal is by getting my daughter engaged to you and dating Anabelle at the same time but if you hurt either of them, I''ll make sure..." his gaze traveled south, "That little thing never sees the limelight,"


    Although it was just a gaze - a scorching one at it - Julie had felt as if Nius had reached out and squeezed his balls tight to prove his threat. That single nce had been quite lethal. Perhaps, he had been too hasty in making decisions because right now it seemed as if Eden was a better inw.


    "Am I clearly understood?" Nius asked him, sternly.


    Julie didn''t find the voice to speak, he simply moped at Nius while nodding his head obediently. You should know he had never cowered under someone''s gaze, not even his grandfather. Nius was a devil. His easy-going nature from earlier was simply a front to make people lower their guards only to be taken by surprise. The apple never falls far from the tree, Isabe was indeed his product.


    Meanwhile, Isabe covered her face in shame while Pedro stifled hisughter by the side. Her father had not given up scaring little kids. What a big bully.


    "Now get your ass up there and get your things before I change my mind," Niusmanded and Julie went in without second thoughts followed by Anabelle who red at her uncle for scaring her boyfriend. She huffed and strutted after him. The next was Pedro who simply lowered his head in greeting and left, leaving only Isabe.


    For a moment, Father and daughter stared at each other, eyeball to eyeball, tension thickening between them as if World War Three was about to begin. However, both of them suddenly burst intoughter.
