Chapter 244: Hee Hee
Although Alex didn’t end up getting to taste Amahle’s fat ass, he at the very least did not have to pay a billion dollars to the woman after making an incredibly stupid bet to quite literally save his ass from torture.
As for what happened to Isabella, she threw an enormous fit like a child when La Madre tried to chain her up with her brother, to the point where Alex felt compelled to step in on her behalf. And thus, the man now found himself caught between two of the heroines he was supposed to conquer, both of which had nothing short of animosity for one another.
“Listen, La Madre… Surely you’re not going to chain the girl up with her brother, I mean the guy might quite literally rape her, he already threatened to do so… I won’t be able to sit by and watch such a thing happen!”
La Madre raised her brow towards Alex, slightly perturbed by the fact that the man had rather shamefully objected to her desires in favor of another woman. Though Alex thought he saw what looked like an expression of jealousy in the Drug Queen’s eyes, it disappeared in an instant, leading him to believe he may have been mistaken. After all, her tone was far more cold than he expected it to be.
“Oh? And where exactly do you think I should hold her? In case you aren’t aware, it’s not like I’m operating a fucking dungeon in this villa! And by the way, that assault which was supposed to buy you time to rescue this bitch it cost me a lot of men.
For whatever reason, the idiots decided that they would press on towards the Jalisco mansion, where they were not able to quickly escape from our rival’s territory. That alone cost me several dozen Sicarios!
Because of this, I don’t exactly have the capacity to keep this girl under surveillance twenty-four seven, not while I’m waging a war on two fronts! So tell me, Alex, will you take responsibility for the girl, in my stead?”
Alex gulped when he heard the word take responsibility. It was a phrase that he knew had a double meaning, and he was quick to inquire exactly what the mature Drug Queen meant by this particular choice of words.
“Define take responsibility?”La Madre smirked, seeing that Alex had understood her intent as she lectured him on what his responsibilities would entail.
“You know exactly what I mean… If I promise not to send her to the same holding cell as her brother, or my other prisoners, then that means she’s going to be staying with you, in your room, under your supervision! This means you will be her guard, her protector, and her warden! She will quite literally be your prisoner!”
A flash of excitement appeared in Isabella’s eyes as she got up from her knees, where she had previously fallen during her tantrum. She was clearly about to say something when Alex shushed her before she could.
“Don’t you dare say a fucking word!”
There was a frightening look in Alex’s blue eyes, causing the girl to immediately become mute as she shrank back to the floor, almost as if she had decreased in overall size. Meanwhile, Alex contemplated what this meant, thinking of a way to get out of this, while still ensuring Isabella’s safety. And it was at this moment he thought of something, which he was quick to espouse.
“I have no problem looking after the girl, but you do realize that this means you are essentially taking me off of the front lines! After all, I can’t watch over this girl, and fight the Sinaloa cartel at the same time! So, which will it be?”
La Madre, however, reacted in a way that Alex didn’t suspect, as her lips curled into a sneer, before she completely destroyed Alex’s attempt to shirk responsibility for the Jalisco Drug Princess.
“Oh? Are you perhaps reading my mind? What remains of Sinaloa’s leadership is on the run, and at the moment Jalisco is reeling from their losses, the front lines with them have turned into a complete and utter stalemate.
Which buys me time to seize the gains from our attack on Sinaloa. For the time being, I don’t need you risking your precious life chasing after a bunch of bums, or defending the trenches from a Jalisco attack!
No… Someone of your talents is much better off here, protecting our most valued assets from those bastards, and their would be assassins! So, since you have no problem looking after the girl, as you have stated, then I will leave her in your possession…”
Alex looked in horror at La Madre when he realized that she had completely called his bluff, and destroyed his defense with a single blow… He was now stuck looking after Isabella, a girl who was just crazy enough to try something while he slept. A girl who would not be eighteen until the end of the week, meaning that Alex would have to be very careful while around her until then. Almost as if he were walking on landmines…
And it was only then that Alex realized Isabella and La Madre were exchanging gazes of silent agreement, almost as if they had set him up from the start. Because of this Alex couldn’t help but want to run back to his private island, and cry in his mommy’s eyes for the emotional trauma he had suffered so far in this arc.
But ultimately there was nothing Alex could do, and thus he sighed heavily and accepted his fate with a single acknowledgement of La Madre’s terms.
“Fine…”
As Alex said this, he swore he could have heard the mocking laughter of the Queen of Hearts in the background, almost as if she were watching his entire journey from the shadows.
“Hee hee…”
This feint whisper of mockery caused Alex to grit his teeth and clench his fist, determined to take out his current frustrations on the physical incarnation of the system that caused him to endure such things.
