Chapter 2003

Inside the private box overlooking the parking lot, Decker had just wiped his face clean of the wine Isabel had splashed on him. He stood by the window and watched silently as Isabel’s car pulled out of the lot.

His eyes were dark and ponderous. He suddenly grinned and said to himself, "Isabel, you are full of surprises."

He had been missing her day and night for the last five years.

The girl had cast a spell on him. In the past five years, he had got involved with countless beautiful women, all of them no less beautiful than Isabel. And yet, none of them managed to seize his heart the way she did.

Sometimes at night, when he was by himself at night, he would miss her to the point of losing his mind.

Then, he found out that she was active in Westchester. He made time out of his busy schedule and came here to see her.

The way he pictured it in his mind, he expected her shocked reaction upon seeing him to be a mixture of anger and sadness.
