They spotted another car coming in front of them, and before they could make out the face of the driver, he rushed at them, swerving their car in the opposite direction. The push wasn't hard enough to cause an accident when it collided into them, so the car only managed to push their car to the other side of the road, blocking the path behind them with its body.Camella quickly recovered from the shock and put the car in free, making them trail down the slope. Rita said with her tear-soaked face but hurriedly wiped it when she noticed that Camella's hands were off the steering."Why are you not controlling it? Are you really going to give up now, even after whoever that was sacrificed himself for us?" Camella was stunned by her statement and looked back at the car that pushed them earlier, blocking the cars that had been chasing them.With tears running down her face, she held onto the steering again, hoping that before the car completely ran out of gas, luck would probably shine on t
King's POVI was having dinner when we started hearing the screeching of car tires. Zack had wanted to head out to check what was going on, afraid that we might be under attack again, but I advised him otherwise."Just let it be. If they are really coming for me, let them. Even if they are a thousand, I swear on my sister's grave that I would waste them all." Every time I remember what Alysia went through in her last moments, I cannot help but feel anger mixed with sadness all at once.I still have nightmares, dreaming of how she was brutally raped by all of them before finally being shot in the head. I still remember vividly how the bullet sounded against the air and how the echo made my heart jump before I noticed the bullet that was lodged in the bridge of her nose.Her beautiful face had already become hideous due to the constant torture, and as she lay lifeless in a pool of her blood, I was too stunned to move. Memories of our time together before the kidnapping started playing o
I carried the pregnant lady, and Zack joined me in carrying the other lady. We made our way back to the house, and I laid the other lady on the nursing bed while the pregnant lady was taken to the adjoining room. I tried taking off her blood-soaked clothes when I noticed that she wasn't just bleeding from the bruises sustained from the accident alone but was fully dilated. "Tell Roberts to come with a nurse as well. I think she's about to give birth," I said. "Okay, sir," Zack responded before calling Roberts, who said a nurse was with him already. Shortly after, we heard the sound of the landing gear of the jet whirring outside. The plane landed, and Roberts and a nurse rushed out with their equipment, a thermometer dangling on his neck as he sped inside the house. "Where is King? What happened to him? I wasn't really hearing you on the phone," Roberts asked. He entered the house and saw the bleeding Camella, rushed to her before saying anything to King. "How many months gone is s
We rushed to the room, and she was grunting in pain, but her eyes were still tightly shut. I moved closer to her while Roberts examined her vitals from the various machines that are still attached to her."I did not expect it to wear off so soon," he said before reaching into his bag and injecting the fluid into her drip. "What happened to her? Is she in a bad state?" I asked with a worried look on my face."She is fine. Her anesthesia just wore off, and she is still sleeping because of the sedative, which is why she is grunting," Roberts reassured me. She became calm after some seconds, and he checked everything once more before we left the room."King, as I was saying..." a call from his phone interrupted him. "Hello," he said into the phone before his expression became troubled. "Alright, go ahead," he said before facing me. "King, you know I would not question you on a normal day, but I really have to right now, so try and understand.""Okay," I said, getting worried. "Roberts, ju
"Have the security lock everywhere. No one leaves this place. No coming in and no going out. Have a call placed to the necessary sector informing them not to bring any emergency patients here for now as we will not be accepting them.""Okay, Doctor," Debby responded before leaving to carry out his instruction.Roberts dispersed all the security to comb the entire hospital, leaving no stone unturned. Everyone should be checked, and if there is any unfamiliar face, they should inform him immediately.At the room adjacent to the entrance of the hospital, a man wearing a doctor's uniform and a face mask to conceal his face pulled out his phone and called."Hello, sir, there is a little problem, sir. I was about to leave with her, but the hospital has been placed on lockdown, so there is no way to leave with her. If she doesn't get good medical attention soon, I'm scared she might die or her brain will suffer irreparable damage.""What do you mean by that?" David yelled back at the other e
King changed into proper attire to suit his position as the heir of the Charlie family before leaving to address the workers. He stopped by Rita's room to check up on her, and she was still sleeping soundly.Majority of the workers there have been working for the Charlie family for years, so they were happy to see him as their faces lit up."Good day, Master," they chorused."Hello, everyone," he responded."Alright, I can see some new faces here. I will trust Peter to put you through on how I want things to be done around me. Also, I need two ladies that could be trusted and are very diligent to be in charge of the ladies," he said, facing Peter."Alright, sir," Peter responded.Shortly after, Roberts arrived with Camella and some machines that were attached to her body since she is still unconscious. He gave King strict instructions on how to take care of her, and a nurse was also appointed to take care of her with the maid.**Rita's POV**I woke up in an unfamiliar environment, my
King's POV Continued I saw the pained expression on her face, and I was pissed at myself for asking her that question. I had just said I would wait until she is ready to talk, and here I am, questioning her already. "I am sorry," I said to her and left the room. I walked into Alysia's room, and it was the same way we left it, almost like we were waiting for her to miraculously reappear and claim her room. Memories of how we used to play hide and seek in our rooms came flooding back, and the way her scent lingered in her room made me feel like she was there. I smiled when I noticed the keyring I had gifted her on the dressing table. It had her initials on it, and she had insulted me for getting such a childish gift, but I knew she still cherished it because she attached it to her phone immediately. Her eyes squinting told me she was just being Alysia, and not that she did not like the gift. I passed by my parents' building, and seeing my mom's pictures on the wall made me remember
**King's POV Continued**"Son, calm down, even if anything happens to her, don't blame yourself for it. We have been told to prepare for the worst already, so just pull yourself together," Dad kept saying to me while holding my shoulder, but half of all he was saying fell on deaf ears.I started pacing the hallway when I could no longer stay comfortably seated. I can no longer keep track of the number of times that I have peeped through the door, even if I cannot see anything from outside since they closed the door already.Dad's words kept rummaging through my head. No, I don't want to prepare for the worst. I cannot lose her too. I kept muttering to myself, and I could feel my tears building up already. I had to keep blinking to prevent them from pouring out.After what seemed like a decade, the door was finally opened, and her doctor came to us. "Congratulations, she pulled through," he said, and I was so happy that I did not even listen to the rest of his words before dashing into
Rita's POV I asked the question that had been bugging on my mind that day when he left the room. Debby was shocked when I asked her if her boss kidnaps people for a living and if he had kidnapped her as well. I was beyond shocked when she told me I was in the Charlie mansion and that the boss is the only surviving child of his parent. Although she does not know the details of what happened to his twin sister, knowing his identity made me feel guilty for being rude to him earlier when he was just being a good Samaritan. I tried approaching him a couple of times to talk to him, but he is always in a hurry to go somewhere, thereby making him inaccessible. She has been taking great care of me, ensuring that I did not stand up from the bed until the nurse confirmed it after a week of my bed confinement. She also kept me company, reading me stories like a baby and talking to me. I am being treated, and I know I do not deserve this. Moreover, I like Debby a lot, and I know if I am to s
King's POV ContinuedI have already told Dad and Mum about Camella and Rita, so there wasn't much to say when she got home. They simply greeted her, and Mum drew her in for a hug before telling her to come to her apartment whenever she is free.I was puzzled by that as I did not know what she wants to discuss with her, and even Rita had a confused look on her face. So when we entered her apartment and it was just myself and Mum, I asked her."Mum, why did you ask her to see you? If you don't want them here, I can just move them to my house. They don't have to stay in the Charlie mansion."She chuckled and said, "Do you love her?"The question caught me by surprise because even I am yet to figure out what I'm feeling."No, Mum, why would you say that? I already told you I am just helping them out of concern.""Why are you avoiding her gaze then?" she said squinting her eyes in a mocking manner. She does this whenever she is teasing us. It used to be worse with Alysia around as her unco
