Chapter 19: Horrible Night
That night Isabella could not keep her mind at ease. Something was wrong, she can sense it. She was surprised not to see her uncle at dinner. Its like if he vanished into thin air. He seemed very upset after what had happened this afternoon,although Isabella did not believe what Davy Jones had said about Elizabeth, Weatherby was quite upset. And this worried Isabella greatly. But who could she ask at this hour? Isabella checked his cabin, but he was not there. There was only one person left to ask...and Isabella did not wish to venture there. Isabella sighed heavily and stood to go to Lord Beckett's office. She couldn't go to James, he would be busy on patrol all night. And she also doubted that Jax would be of any kind of help.
Just a few moments later, Isabella found herself standing in front of the wretched man's office. She knocked nervously, but still kept her cool.
"Come in". Beckett responded not bothering to get it. He did not realize it was Isabella.
"Good evening Lord Becket". Isabella greeted cooly.
Beckett sprang from the chair when he realized it was Isabella. "Dutchess Norrington, what a surprise. Please sit". Beckett pulled out the chair for her.
"If you think I am here for a cordial visit, you are sadly mistaken". sneered Isabella
"Then why did you come? Perhaps to finally let me have you right here in my office". He whispered seductively to her ear.
"No! You will never have me...don't you have a wife"!
"Yes, but I crave forebidden fruit my darling Isabella". he replied smirking deviously.
"You disgust me".
"And you tempt me".
"Stop! The only reason I came to you was because I wanted to know if you had any information as to the whereabouts of my uncle. He was not present at dinner". Isabella was getting angry at Beckett's behaviour.
"Weatherby Swann is onboard a ship heading back to England". Beckett simply replied as he poured himself some brandy into the delicate glass.
"But I don't understand, he...he would have told me".
"He asked to leave immediately and did not give any further explanation".
"How can he leave, we have to find Elizabeth"! Isabella was panicing now.
"Davy Jones declared her dead. There is nothing left to do".
"That is a lie and you know it! She is no dead!" Isabella yelled.
"Believe what you want". Beckett replied cooly enjoying Isabella's angry temper. That renewed his lust towards her.
"Why did you come to me for this information? I would have thought you would have crawled to your beloved Admiral Norrington, And you know what I lied".
"About what"? Isabella demanded
"I cannot keep secrets from you, my little pet. Your Uncle Weatherby is not aboard a ship. He is at the bottom of the ocean". Beckett decided to tell Isabella the truth he was getting irritated by her sobbing...deciding to give her a real reason to sob.
"How can you be so cruel"! Isabella was sobbing on the floor. Beckett stood from his chair and quickly went over to her. He grabbed her delicate arm, once he had her standing he harshly thrusted her up against the wall, making her gasp.
"Cruel! How can I be so cruel, despite everything I have done for that bloody husband of yours. I gave him his title, honor...everything. He could have been sent to the gallows, which I should have done the moment he stepped foot into my office the day you two came back! And now you shall pay the price for the life I restored for you two!" Beckett was dangerously close to her. His eyes lingered down to her tightly upwards breasts and curves. He then ripped off part ofher dress to reveal her shoulders, and began to kiss her neck, breasts and finally he ravaged her soft pink lips. Isabella had tears streaming down her soft cheeks. She tried screaming but falied when he covered her mouth as he contiued to explore her voluptuous body. Isabella decided the only way to remove his hand was to bite it ...she did so and began to scream, but he quickly caught her as she headed towards the doors.
Jax was outside taking a walk, when he heard a woman's cries coming from Beckett's office. He quickly dashed to the office. Without hesitating he kicked the doors of Beckett's office. Beckett who was still having his way with Isabella, suddenly stopped when he heard the kick. He did not even have time to turn when Jax punched him square in the jaw sending Beckett fliying to the ground. Isabella was no half undressed and crying, by the corner. Jax made his way towards her, picked her up and took her back to her cabin.
Once in her cabin, Jax placed her on the bed.
"Are you alright"? Jax asked as he scanned her body for bruises, which she had a few on her arms, where Beckett grabbed a hold of her.
Isabella didn't answer, she just layed there shaking. Jax became worried and decided to get James. "I will go get James, would you like that"? She only nodded.
Jax quickly went out to the deck to look for James, which he spotted quickly.
"Admiral Norrington"!
James turned to Jax and went over to him. "Whats wrong...did something happen"?
"Your wife, I found Lord Beckett taking advantage of her".
"Where is she"! James demanded, anger boiling up inside him.
"In her cabin, I took care of Beckett. Go to her she wants you". Jax said.
James did not need to hear another word, he dashed to Isabella's cabin. James entered and saw Isabella sobbing by the edge of the bed.
"Darling I'm here its alright...shh". James bent down and gathered her into his arms. He kissed her forehead. "Shhh...I am here. I love you".
"Please don't ever leave me". Isabella said between sobs.
"I will never leave you...my sweet Isabella". James held her tightly in his arms, not letting go of her. He tried his best to make her feel secure...but she was far from feeling secure at that very moment...if only she knew that her world could come crashing down at any moment...
