It was gone....Just like that she was gone. Like a single flame extinguishing and she was gone. Her one progeny was taken from her just like that. Her Roxanne was dead. Isabel had never felt such furry course through her veins. There was only one other time that she could compare this single emotion to and that was when she had first heard that Godric had taken his own life by meeting the sun. She had never felt anything like it before in her immortal life.
But Isabel knew that Compton had something to do with this. She knew it.
And he would pay.
Collapsing into her office chair as her hand ran through her soft luscious hair that fell down past her ears. If only Godric was here, he would know what to do. He would guide her in this task.
But Bill Compton had to pay.
She would make him weak, take everything that he has. She had this new information, now all she needed to do was use it to her advantage. She had to plan wisely.
"What!" she snapped as she could see a head bob in and out between the crack in her office door.
"Miss Beaumont. A package has arrived for you....From a Mr John Quinn of Louisiana"
John Quinn?
"Bring it here. Do not stand there like a complete fool Gregory" she instructed.
Gregory entered her office as quickly as he could as he deposited the large parcel onto her desk and swiftly took his leave. Isabel stood from her desk as she appraised the parcel with curiosity as she could not contain it as she tore through the paper and was presented with a large black box as she unclipped the lock and slowly opened it as she could not contain the smile that spread across her face. For the first time in days she let the smile consume her.
John always did know of her love for the finer things as she found a note attached to the inner lid;
'A simple token of affection for one who moves the world with her smile. -JQ'
Turning her attention to her email as she quickly typed out an email'
'Tomorrow. An hour after dark' and attached a secure link to the email and hit send.
As she turned her attention back to the necklace, but something was missing. Perhaps a crown. Something that she would acquire when she procured Louisiana.
