Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.
Chapter 69 69. Isabella's Heartbeat

*Knock* *Knock*

Isabella, standing in front of Alex's room, knocked on the door, but even after some time, no one opened it.

It was still early morning, so there was no way that someone was not in the house right now. So she tried knocking a few more times to wait and see if someone opened the door, but no one did.

"Wait? The door is open, Hello? Is someone home? Sorry for barging in like this, but I have an important thing to talk about."

Isabella became impatient and decided to open the door forcefully. But when she tried, she found out that the door was already open. So after a little hesitation, she walked straight into the room, closing the door behind her.

She needed to nip this problem in the bud, or it would turn into a wildfire under the fuel fanning of her daughter. She knew her daughter too well.

"Is no one home?"

But she found out that it seemed like no one was home right now. Maybe Alex didn't come back home last night. She became disappointed thinking of that.

She really wanted to end the conflict between Nathan and Alex today, but it seemed she couldn't do that now. She had to replace a way to deal with the mess that was going to come later on.

Thud*

"Is someone in there?"

As she was about to leave, she heard the voice of something or someone falling on the ground. She thought that Alex might be in the kitchen. That's why he wasn't able to hear her knocking before.

"It's really not safe to be like this. He was a young man living alone, He should know how to protect himself. What if someone with ill intent came in?... I don't have ill intentions for him, I just want to talk to him."

Isabella thought to herself as she made her way toward the kitchen. She was worried about Alex. A single man living alone should always be always on his guard, not be careless and leave the door open.

It's really dangerous to do that, as even if this is a male dormitory, it seems the rules are not strict here. She was a prime example of it. She just walked in, and no one stopped her or even asked her about her motive. This shows how little security this place has.

But that was not a matter of concern. Right now, she wanted to resolve the issue between the two families. She thought she could solve it as it was a petty fight between kids.

"You are Alex, right- !?"

Isabella entered the kitchen and saw the man's back, who was sitting on the ground doing something. She wanted to ask if he was Alex, but as she was about to speak, her eyes fell on the white thing that the teenager was playing with.

Her heart stopped beating for a second, and her pupils dilated as all primal instincts of fear rose in her heart.

"Who is a good girl? You are! Yes, you are!"

She saw who she thought was Alex playing with a huge white beast like it was a house cat. Her eyes were fixed on the beast.

It had shimmering white fur that seemed to glow in the light, giving it an otherworldly appearance. Its piercing blue eyes were intense and mysterious, hinting at the fierce hunting skills it is known for.

Its muscular build and powerful limbs were a testament to its strength and agility, making this beast a fearsome predator in the eyes of many. But despite its appearance, it was now lying on its back and exposing its belly, inviting the teenager to rub its fur.

Alex was currently rubbing the belly of a white tigress with a joyful smile on his face, as Saphira enjoyed his massage and waved her long soft tail. Her fur was incredibly soft and silky, almost like the finest silk. Alex was able to run his fingers through it with ease, eliciting contented purrs from the tigress.

Her movements were graceful and fluid, almost as if she was dancing, yet also powerful and confident. As Alex played with her, the tigress' playful and affectionate side was on full display. She playfully pounced on Alex, her powerful paws landing softly on his chest, and he then pushed back with a playful grin.

The tigress' blue eyes were full of life and amusement, sparkling with joy as she played with Alex.

This is a white tigress named Saphira. She is a familiar beast of Amara, as she was with them from childhood and can be considered a family pet. When Amara comes, she also brings Saphira with her. Without considering, just by seeing this huge beast, someone might die from a heart attack. He also wonders how Amara was even able to sneak her inside his dormitory considering there are 24×7 security surveillance here.

"Am I high? Is someone drugged me?"

Isabella couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at the sight of such a magnificent and fantastical creature acting so lovingly and affectionately towards a human. She couldn't help but doubt the sight in front of her. It was unreal. The beast in front of her is an apex predator, capable of ending someone's life in an instant, but now it was being this docile. How is that possible?

No matter how you tame it, it is still a wild animal with its wild instincts. A perfect killing machine created by the miracle of nature, but what is happening in front of her is also true. At least she thinks it's true.

"Ex-excuse me."

Roar*

*

Isabella decided to ask the person included with him, so she called out to Alex, but her sudden appearance might have startled the tigress. As when the beast saw her, it roared at her, and its icy eyes locked on her body.

Being targeted by this beast, Isabella confirmed that it was a real wild beast. The tremor from her soul was proof of that. A deeply buried fear inside her passed down from generation to generation, warning her about the threat in front of her.

"Easy girl, easy, Sit."

Alex stopped playing with the tigress and turned around to see the speaker, Who turned out to be a beautiful, mature woman standing in front of him.

As he saw the woman, a warning bell rang in his mind. He felt threatened by this woman, which was way more dangerous than Rose before.

But when he saw her face up close, the fear in his heart dissipated a lot, as he realized who was standing in front of him. An evil smirk raised on his lips, but with his charm, he looked no less than an unprecedentedly handsome devil.

"This Nathan is really a real bro. I'm here wondering how I can approach his mother, but look at him, he sends her right to my door."

Alex wanted to laugh crazily like a third-grade villain at this moment. He couldn't even fathom the logic of the protagonist. Nathan knows he has looks that even put Greek gods to shame, and yet he sends his single, widowed mother to him. Is he crazy?

No, he was not, He is a true bro. Alex needed to seduce Nathan's mother, so he delivered his mother to his doorstep. Only a true bro can do that. He really didn't forget Alex's favor of fulfilling his fetish. Now he was paying Alex off.

As to why Alex was so sure that Nathan was the one who sent her here? Easy. Isabella is not some random person. Every minute of her life is important, so a person like her coming here to him means someone has sent her. And who can be so big-hearted as his dear friend Nathan? So he was sure that it was Nathan who did him this favor, escorting a sheep directly into the wolf's den.

"...Are you not going to introduce yourself?"

Alex was waiting for Isabella to say something so he could replace an opportunity to decrease the distance between them and make her fall into the "trap" he will lay for her.

It will be a little hard to make her yield to him as she is the mother of the protagonist, but the after-gain of doing it is also worth the effort.

[Ding! +50 Favorability of Isabella increased for the host (Current: 70 Crush)]

"....."

Alex had no words. He just looked at Isabella, whose eyes were glued on him. He knew those eyes; it was the same thing that happened to Rita before.

This woman had fallen head over heels for him. He thought he understood the power of his charm but it turns out, He still underestimated the power of his charm surpassing the mortal realm. Even heroines who had the extra protection of heavenly will were not able to resist it.

"How could he have fallen?"

The same words Rita spoke were now spoken by Isabella. She was petrified in amazement at the sight before her. Her heart, which had not thumped for any man, had skipped a beat. She even forgot to breathe as the man in front of her took her breath away.

A teenager looks like a fallen fairy standing in this god-forsaken world, soiling his purity, and yet he still looks mystical. With the white majestic tiger beside him, he looks like an ancient high noble.

"That- Sorry, you look very breathtaking. No, I don't mean...I am Isabella, Ahead of the Gayler family, Which is worth around 100 billion UC or more."

Isabella didn't know what to say or why she said it, But she very badly wanted to show her wealth to him. She didn't have any idea why but it was a strong urge to just do it.

She felt like saying her worth will get some reaction from the teenager but he was looking at her in the same way as he was before, He didn't even show the even slight reaction to a huge amount of 100 billion UC, Which surprised her the most, But the respect in her heart for him also unknowingly increased.

'She already fallen, It was too easy though. If I want I can put her in bed at the end of the day.'

Alex didn't care about what Isabella was talking about, All he was thinking about was how to bang the mother of the protagonist.

Alex didn't complain as before knowing the reason behind the task rewards, But 1st and 2nd tasks now seemed quite tempting and exciting as he was quite willing to do it.

"What is that smell? And why is it so good?"

Amara came out of the bedroom with curiosity and hunger in her eyes. Her eyes first fell on Alex. As she saw his figure, a very wide smile appeared on her lips as joy overflowed her eyes.

Then her eyes fell on Saphira, who might be having an identity crisis as she was sitting by Alex's side like a dog. And finally, her eyes landed on Isabella with questions and warning in her eyes.
