Taming A Billionaire Chapter 432

The third point of view:
Isabella was right, the panic room was located in Maya's room. The moment they had entered, the dust and cobwebs launched a full onslaught on them - showing nobody has been there for a long time now.
It was obvious to Isabella that her father could have had the room cleaned but he must have kept it intentionally this way - what were the chances Miguel would think of a secret room in this kind of dirty place? They would turn back right away.
Finding the entrance might be hard for others but Isabella has lived with her mysterious father for years and knows how his mind works. With the kids watching, she squatted down beside the bed and started feeling around for something.
"Gotcha!" She exclaimed when her hand hit a button and seconds later, the shelf behind them opened to reveal a spacious room devoid of anything and had its walls painted entirely white. The white color didn't calm them down at all, it freaked the kids out the more - It definitely lived up to its name "panic room"
"We should go in," Isabella told her siblings who had a stubborn look on their faces. From the look of things, their entry into the room wouldn't be voluntary - she might have to be forceful here.
"We left mother out there, literally fed her to the wolves!" Aimee complained, tears threatening to well up in her eyes.
"It's good to know that you know your adage well," Isabella intentionally made a joke out of her complaint.
Do they think she was okay with leaving Reina back there? No, she was barely hanging on here but she understood her mother's fear - her siblings were of the utmost concern here.

"You said we would fight!" Allen accused her, "What's the point of the whole weapon thing then?" he gestured to his spider friend that had miniaturized, and wrapped around his wrist like some sort of scrawny bracelet.
"Impressive," Isabella would have praised his robot but she was sure as hell no one would appreciate that comment at the moment.
"There's no point of fighting because your gadgets are toys against guns!" She raised her voice a little high to get the point into their brain. Do they think things were done easily as said or planned? They had just one life; there was no coming back a second time.
She went on, "These men are hardened criminals who wouldn't hesitate to end your sweet little life. Your mother has a valid reason for sending you, no, us, away," Isabella hoped they understood now.
She thought wrong.
"Then, let me die with mommy!" Neon blurted out, and before she could stop him, the boy fled out of the room.
"Neon!" Isabella was flabbergasted. She looked left and right as if searching for help from her other siblings - who didn't look willing to help. Yep. None .
"We have more chances of winning if we work together," Allen suggested.
"That is a bad idea," Isabella shook her head.
"Take it or leave it, "Ailee insisted.
"Deal, let's go then" Isabella gave in, seeing no other choice here. She wanted to find that troublemaker Neon before he caused more problems or worse, the enemy shoots him down thinking he's a threat - a small threat.
"Neon, wait!" They went after the boy who ran further away from them, thinking his siblings were coming to stop him.

Neon didn't even think of stopping, not even to catch his breath. He had lost his first mother - Jennifer - to illness and refused to lose his second kind mother - Reina - as well.
"Neon! wait up!"
"Seriously, how is he so fast?" Ailee complained. With that kind of speed, she would have mistaken him as the Flash.
Unfortunately, they ran into the lion's den all at once.
"Leave my mother or else...!" Neon barked order, stroding into the living room in his furious glory much to everyone's shock.
Was this still the Neon they knew? The Neon who couldn't even stand up to their bully cousins? The Neon who couldn't properly steal food from Amanda's room? This was unbelievable.
Meanwhile, Miguel who had yanked Reina to her feet by the hair was stunned by the kids who appeared out of nowhere. Who the heck were they? Then recognition set in and a slow smile lazily crossed his features. This makes it all the more better.
Reina went as pale as a vampire as soon as her eyes set on her kids. Jesus Christ! Hadn't she sent them away?! What have they gotten themselves into? She was suddenly scared.
"You heard the boy dick, let go of her mother!" Isabella cursed at him.
She had arrived on time to see that animal pulling at Reina's hair. That scene had erased every thought of escaping with her siblings, now she was all for the bloodshed. And how she couldn't wait to see that asshole lying dead in his pool of blood.
"Or what?" Miguel challenged them, slowly letting go of their mother that shook her head in disapproval - they shouldn't have come.
Neon was about to react when Isabella quickly whispered to him from behind, "Don't bring out your weapon yet, now's not the time,"
However, she wasn't sure the boy heard her because Neon didn't even react nor give her a secret signal he had heard her. And that unsettled Isabella greatly because of the fact Neon wasn't the sharpest of her siblings.
Like a predator stalking his prey, Miguel kept his gaze on Neon as he walked over to the little boy, hoping he would squirm under his intensity.
But to his disappointment, Neon wasn't intimidated; rather he kept his head high up and held Miguel's gaze as the man approached him. And for the first time, his siblings were so proud of him they were moved to tears.
"Or what?" He pressed.
"Or this!" Neon stomped hard on his feet and sprint past Miguel yelping in pain to go rescue his mother.
But unfortunately, he didn't take five steps before he was hoisted off the ground by Miguel's hired men.
"You bug!" Miguel, fuming with anger, went over to the boy being held down and struck him hard across his face.
"Neon!" his siblings and mother were horrified by that action.
But Miguel spun around so quickly his head snapped - not that he minded the sharp pain - with blazing orbs and pinned Reina with a look, while a cruel smile curved his lips as he said, "I think it's time daddy dearest knows what we've been up to,"
Reina stiffened.
