Part 50
Celina couldn’t believe her ears. She wanted the older woman rather be lying than face the harsh reality. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed Abel trying to console the woman.
“Umm...madam, are you sure he went in search of the cave?”
The older woman snapped her head in Celina's direction; a frown etched on her face. She twisted her mouth. “Why would I lie about it? My son...he worked as a journalist and wanted to find out about people disappearing around that cursed cave. He would talk about it for days to no end.” Tears dribbled down her cheeks, and the maid was ashamed to doubt such a woman.
She continued, “One day, he decided to find out the truth about the cave. I tried to stop him, but he’s adamant and went any

Only some moments later, she noticed a glass underneath her nose resting on Javier's study.She eyed the golden looking drink and grabbed it, gulping it down without hesitating."Celina!"Its whisky and it burned running down her throat, almost causing Celina to cough it back up.

/Abels POV/Abel recognised the parts of the forest as he passed through it. His stomach was a knot of nerves, as always at the thought of going back. The place Abel had grown up in was somewhere along the rocky road, hidden in the trees and far away from the watchful eyes of the road.Abel exhaled a breath, noticing the warmth rush away as he got closer. The driver pulled his legs up to his chest, pulling the cloak tighter around his body, ducking his head into his knees and away from the sharp sting of the cold air. He was relieved, knowing that the roof of the car was hiding him from the snow.

With the diary tucked inside her dress pocket, Celina managed to sneak out. Her heart was thudding the entire way, fingers brushing against the pocket one too many timed. Just as she was about to make a turn, Javier cut her path in between.Her eyebrows shot up to the hairline, breath hitching as she thought the worse.

Something was off. The Prince could feel it in his gut as he's doing his usual rounds around the Castle. With his shoulders hunched, head bent down, Javier moved his feet as quick as he can without breaking into a run.A thick fog that crept up from seemingly out of nowhere soaked his clothes. What was happening? He thought to himself. The Prince was racing towards the gates as fast as he could.He felt faint, motioning towards the nearest guard. "What's going on?""I'll check, my lord."Before he could take a breath, the loud clang of the bell echoed around. His ears rang from the sound, goosebumps prickling across his arms.

When Celina came to a hallway not far from her room, she decided to walk through it, slowly opening the doors, looking inside for anything to preoccupy her time. As Javier was not in the Castle, they were free to do anything.They were already done with dinner, and it's only six in the evening. She would be a fool to enter the Prince room in his absence. And with Abel at that. Beth would blabber everything to Javier as soon as he returns. That's a risk the maid was not willing to take.Her friend was trying to find the Castle map in the library, just in case they missed some hidden route.

The moment Javier's car pulled up, the maid froze in her place. Abel rushed to the theatre room to tell rest of them about the Prince. She lingered in his room, her heart hammering in her chest. If they had not heard that car horn, then the Prince might have caught them in the act. Just thinking about it caused goosebumps to prickle down her arm.Few seconds passed by when she heard thunderous footsteps approach in her direction. Its Javier. She didn't have to second guess herself. Living along with him in the same castle all these months made her well acquainted."Celina?" He whispered, his voice out of breath, chest rising and falling.

/Javiers POV/The spacious bathroom with the bronze tub, dark tiles filled with steam and warmth was so familiar to Javier at this point that he found himself slumping back.
