Shortly after the Grace Field Children escaped their "orphanage", Demons decided to keep Isabella alive and gave her the position of Grandma.

## Plot

After Isabella has been given the role of Grandma, some other girls that were under her, that were working hard to be Sisters were against her being given that Title, especially after the children from her farm had escaped,They mentioned how she raised exceptional children, had perfect scores, and never made a mistake, and also admiring how she was amazing since she was young. But, they didn't find it fair, and didn't accept it, so they decided to "congratulate" her on her promotion to grandma in their own way.

February 2046, a Month after Isabella became a grandma, she was able to 10% of the scores in a month which made the Demons sure that they had made the right decision keeping her alive. A certain girl, Matilda, wanted to go against her, with another group of girls, and she made a plan and waited until she found the right opportunity and then ordered her group to execute it.

Heading to Isabella's room expecting to see her in defeat, she found all her group in front of Isabella sitting, telling by their anxious gaze, she realized...her plan has failed.

"Good Afternoon...Matilda" said Isabella looking at her, after pouring some Tea. "Please have a seat".

At that moment , Matilda panicked realizing how she will have to face the consequences of her actions , trying to go against a grandma! Isabella helped Matilda take a seat, and then stood back up:

"Now what shall I do? ...Matilda, Scarlet, Sienna, Jessica"

The young Grandma then started describing how they were top scorers, brilliant and exceptionally skilled, among the current sisters, the 4 are the closest to becoming moms, then she added saying:

"It's a shame, There are no openings, and I understand you are getting impatient...But to use your power to force my seat open?"

The 4 girls were still trembling in fear, not knowing what will happen to them , what their punishment will be. All the girls were looking down at the Table, no one dared to look at Isabella. The grandma slowly approached towards the table again, and then asked them if they would want to destroy the farm with her.

The room went silent.

What? Destroy the Farm?, they all thought.

Isabella has already thought about it a month earlier, she wondered if the Grace Field kids had been able to escape, she noticed that they left the ones under four years old, so she realized they will be coming back in a year and half or two years . She decided she will plan everything by then. Then she asked the four girls again, to join her in her plan and that she will also overlook all these schemes against her. The girls were in disbelief. Not only is she rebelling against the Demons and wanting to destroy the farms, she also is recruiting the ones who want to take her down. Isabella was serious about it.

Even if it's an eternal hell, Isabella reminded them of the children they gave birth to, they were at her plant, plant 3, Some of them even escaped. She wanted to change their destiny, so she plead them to help her. Matilda stood up and agreed on one condition that she needs proof that Isabella won't betray them, the grandma then handed her a note that explains, Isabella let the children escape because her child was one of them. After that, Isabella explained everything, the plan will go in action when the children return in 2 years. Isabella came with the plan as her selfish fantasy, where the children are alive..with no farms..and can live and love each other normally ..that is the future she wanted to realize.
