All Chapters of His Regret, My Escape: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Olympia's POV “Head Healer Ryder?” I said in shock.He was standing in front of me with a mischievous grin across his handsome face.“What are you doing?” I asked, trying to conceal the fear in my voice.“I'm sorry if I startled you. It's just that I needed to get you alone,” he said.“Why? You could have called me to your office if that was the case. You really startled me,” I replied.“I'm so sorry. You've been avoiding my office for a while and I didn't know how else to get you alone so I did this,” he replied, a smile on his face.Staring at his gorgeous face, I felt my anger and fear slowly evaporating. “Just don't do that next time. Please,” I said.“Of course. As long as you stop avoiding me,” he said, his smile widening.I felt butterflies in my belly. I had to look away from him and asked,“So what is it you wanted to talk to me about?” “Like I said earlier, you've been avoiding me. Is it because of my proposal?” He asked.I turned to face him and saw that his smile had be

Olympia’s POVBut I didn’t.Days passed and I wasn’t able to summon enough courage to talk to Zayn about it. I feared what his reaction would be. Like Lola said, I decided to think about my decision carefully.One day, Zayn fell ill and could not go to school. I had to take permission from work to take care of him. I realized I had to get to the market to get some herbs to prepare a concoction for him to drink.As I was walking out of the market, I didn’t notice the sleek black car speeding around the corner. I almost got hit but luckily, the driver stopped a few inches from me.I jumped back in fright. My heart was racing. I was about to unleash my anger on the driver but my words froze in my throat when I saw who was seated in the back seat of the car.Xavier.Time seemed to stand still and panic gripped me. He looked up and I swiftly turned around so he wouldn’t see my face. I heard the driver calling for me, probably to compensate me for almost killing me but I ignored him and wal

Olympia’s POVRyder drove Zayn and I back home. I had already called Lola to tell her that we were on our way so she could open the door for us.When we returned to the house, she opened the door and took Zayn in, leaving Ryder and I standing outside.As we stood in front of my door, he said,“Well, I had a great time with you and Zayn. I wish we could do this more often.”“Me too,” I replied.Then there was a brief moment of silence before he spoke again.“So, what happens now? Zayn knows about us now and I think he approves. Does that mean you’ll be my…?” he trailed off.I giggled and said,“Yes Ryder. I’ll be your girlfriend.”His yellow eyes widened in excitement at my response. “Really?” he asked, as if he couldn’t be sure if I was kidding or not.“Yeah,” I said, barely above a whisper.Before I knew it, he pulled me towards him and captured my lips with his. A small grow, escaped the back of his mouth and I could feel the heat.We pulled apart for a while, gasping for air.Then

Xavier's POV I was in my chambers, getting dressed, when my door flew open. My brother, Prince Troy, entered. "There's been an outbreak of disease in the pack..." he said, his expression grave. "...and it's spreading fast," Prince Troy finished. I frowned, a look of concern etched my face. "How many are affected?" I asked. "Over twenty, and counting," Prince Troy replied. “I heard it started with one of the maids,” he added. I clenched my jaw. "Get the healers on it. I want to know the source and a cure ASAP." Prince Troy nodded. "Already on it, brother. But there's more." "What is it?" I asked. "The hospital is sending a team to help. They'll be arriving soon." My mind turned to the potential risks and benefits of outside assistance. "Ensure our guests are accommodated and given full access to the affected area," I said. Prince Troy nodded and left. I stood there, weighing the situation. A disease outbreak was the last thing our pack needed. I wo

Olympia's POV My eyes widened in shock at Ryder's words.“Are you sure? What if you're mistaken?” I asked.He turned to look at me and said,“That's the only reasonable explanation for this. If he was fine all throughout yesterday and even after eating his dinner last night, then it only means he got infected through his meal. We need to interrogate the maid who prepared his meal.”Prince Troy interrupted, looking like he had just remembered something.“Head Healer Ryder could be right. Last night, I couldn't have dinner because I didn't feel like it. Maybe that's why I'm not infected,” he said.I felt a chill run down my spine. A traitor in the pack? Who could it be? I wondered.Ryder's expression turned grim. "We need to investigate immediately. Prince Troy, can you have the maid brought here for questioning?"Prince Troy nodded. Then he turned to one of the guards in the room and whispered something into his ear.The guard nodded and walked out of the room.I turned back to look
