Chapter 250 - Two Hundred And Fifty: Who's Your Mother

The third point of view

The ride back home was torturously slow, Isabella was impatient. She wished they've landed already, the waiting was now getting on her nerves. Niklaus had no idea they were returning to this city, not that it bothered her - perhaps, it would to Jennifer however, she had never listened to his words anyway.

Speaking of Jennifer, the woman had not slept a wink and had been watching that video non-stop. Though Isabella didn't exactly like her, she still couldn't help but sympathize with her - another broken heart in Niklaus's wake.

Isabella was hell-bent on looking into that woman's background that she had been scrutinizing Reina's photographed image for close to an hour while Neon slept on her body.

"Who are you really?"?Isabella stared at the picture on her phone, questions filling her head with limited answers. If that was Maya, why didn't she come for her? What was the probability that the woman was Maya and not her doppelganger or something?

Thankfully, an hour more, and they finally landed in the city. After retrieving their bags from the baggage collection, all were set to go when Isabella felt a sudden pain in her stomach.

"What is it?" Jennifer glanced over her with concern.

"I think I might have to visit the toilet," Isabella doubled over when the slight throe cut across her stomach, "Must be that food I ate on the plane?"

"Alright, I haven't eaten anything yet, so Neon and I would be waiting for you in the eatery over there…." she gestured to one of the airport eateries, "Come and find us when you're done,"

"Fine," She took Isabella's luggage from her as the girl rushed to find the nearest restroom.

Once found, Isabella moved into one of the empty cabinets and flushed out all of the contents in her stomach- spending thirty minutes in there in summary.

"Oh!" She exclaimed, stretching herself, " That feels good," And hardly got out of the toilet when a little girl jolted into her.

"Sister! Sister!" the girl tugged on her clothing, "Help me, some evil men are after me,"

Isabella opted to ignore her knowing this was the airport filled with many dishonest people and scammers. Who knew who sent this one?

"Let go, who's your sister? " Isabella pulled free her clothes from her grasp and made to move when that girl grabbed her again. But this time, the girl who seemed to be around Neon's age, grabbed her leg and refused to let go.

"Sister, please," The girl pleaded "Save a soul in distress, those men are evil- I don't want to go with them. They don't treat me well, it's lucky that I escaped from them,"

Honestly, a one-third part of Isabella's heart was touched by her words but she was too cautious - this could be a trap.

"Alright, let go of me first," She tried to trick the girl but the little one was smarter than she looked.

"No sister, you're lying!" She tightened her grasp, whining.

Isabella looked around, people were pointing and giving her strange looks. This girl was set on making her life miserable.

"Fine, get up," Izzy gave in at last.

"No," she shook her head stubbornly.

"Stand up while I'm still being generous," She threatened through gritted teeth.

The girl gave Isabella a doubtful look, reluctantly letting go and standing to her feet. At that moment, her eyes caught the arrival of a group of men in suits, searching around for someone - her.

Oops, mom was going to skin her alive, Ailee thought - The fury of that woman was not to be underestimated!

Ailee hoped Allen had not been caught. They had an inkling their mom would track down their disappearance once reported, they just never surmised she would find them this quickly.

Their finding led to her being separated from Allen, her twin brother. The moment they arrived, lo and behold was their mom, looking like an angel of death in black clothing thoroughly with her entourage.

"Welcome," Was the only comment mom made and all hell broke loose as they made a run for it.

Finally, here she was, running for her life.

Isabella's brows raised when she saw the arrival of those men in black suits and the way the kid hid behind her - something was not right. These men looked nothing like kidnappers, if anything they were almost comparable to the guards her father always placed around her.

She had not fully assessed the situation when the girl grabbed her hand and ran in the direction of the restroom - Isabella allowed her to do so. Things just got interesting and she was going to see to the end of it.

Isabella had always been a smart kid and was able to figure out that the little girl was lying to her - neither was she a scammer. Using her own situation as a reference, Isabella was able to reckon that the kid was from a prominent family and was running from being captured back home. Well, she would play along.

"That was close," Ailee puffed, leaning against the kitchen sink while Isabella peered out through the door, checking the situation outside

"You," Isabella faced her, "What's your name?"

"Me?" She touched her chest.

"Yeah, you,"

"Ailee Armani Princess - II"

Isabella frowned, she didn't know any prominent family by that name but it couldn't be a coincidence that this little girl had the same surname as Reina, right?

"Big sis, what about you? What's your name?"

"Isabelle Spencer," she answered, moving to lean beside Ailee, "So.." Izzy started, "Tell me about those people, why are they chasing you? Don't you have a mommy?" Isabella tactically began her investigation.

Ailee gulped, licking her lower lips, why was this big sister suddenly questioning her with a smile on her face? That was the same thing grandfather does when he wants to snatch some information from her.

"Of course, I have a mommy," Ailee answered, making sure not to go into details. Moreover, mommy would admonish her if she were to give out information about her carelessly.

Isabella hid a smirk, "Who's your mommy?"

"Someone,"

"Yes, someone Of course. Who's that someone?" she pressed, almost losing her temper in the process - having no knowledge she was being played.

"Why are you so interested in my mommy? Do you want my mommy too?" Ailee asked her.

Isabella was taken aback by the situation, who was doing the questioning here? Well, maybe, this could be another opportunity…

She lowered herself to Ailee's height, plastering a rare smile - a smile used to lure naive kids, "Your mom must be a good person. What if I say yes? Would you let me have your mommy?"

Isabella thought she was winning when the girl gave her a sheepish grin - that came to an abrupt stop when she said, "No, I'm a jealous lover. It's already hard sharing mom with Allen, not to talk of you," Was her rejection.

At that moment, Isabella came to a shocking realization that she was dealing with a smart kid. How was she going to deal with Ailee? Give Neon ice cream and you buy him over, what would…. Wait a minute…

"You have a brother?" Isabella was surprised. If that was true and Reina turns out to be Maya who turns out to be their mother, wouldn't that mean she was married already? Else how would she have given birth to two children? How would Niklaus have a second chance with her?

"Oh, Allen?" Ailee shrugged, "He's my twin brother,"

Oh twin, what a huge relief.

Isabella used that opportunity to scrutinize Ailee intensely. Their hair color was not that different and if she could conjure what Maya looked like, this kid was not far behind from it.

Her heart raced, slamming against her chest with reverberating thuds. If her theory was right and Maya was truly alive, does this mean Ailee was her sibling? And her brother… wait, she had two siblings? H-how? W-what? She just didn't know how to express herself.

However, Isabella didn't rejoice yet. What if after all this excitement and expectations and Reina turns out to be truly Maya's lookalike? That would crush her. The only thing she could do now was to find the missing twin brother, who hopefully speaks her language and leads her to their mother.

"So, where's your brother ?"

Speaking of Allen…

The little boy somehow escaped his mom's security and made his way into one of the eateries. He could hide in here for a while or so he thought because the moment he turned around, a boy bumped into him- amid his attempt to evade the boy- and his ice cream slipped to the ground.

"Mommy!" The cry baby opened his mouth, bawling his eyes out.

"Stop crying so loud, you're hurting my ears. It's just ice cream. I'll get you another one," Allen enticed him but the boy shrieked further.

"Neon!" A woman rushed over to him, worry written all over her face, " What is it?" she panicked.

"My ice cream," Neon pointed to the mess on the ground and to the boy who stood watching them blankly.

"What did you do to him?" Jennifer focused heated orbs on Allen when her son wouldn't stop crying, "Did you hit him?"

Allen snorted, "Hit him? Why would I hit him? I don't waste my energy on crybabies,"

"He called me a crybaby?" Neon burst into more tears.

"Apologize!" Jennifer growled at him.

"I spoke the truth so why should I apologize? For him being a crybaby? He was the one who bumped into me because his entire concentration was on the ice cream. I would pay for the damage to his ice cream but I won't apologize for pointing out the truth," Allen declared boldly without blinking an eye.

"You rude child!" Jennifer saw red, raising her voice on him, " Who's your mother?! "

"I am,"
