LAURAAfter a while, the van stopped. They took me into the building. Judging from the landmarks in the building, we're definitely in a bank. Two of the armed men held both my arms and dragged me into the room.They loosened the rope they tied at the back of my hand and sat me down on a chair and quickly tied it once again.I've never felt so helpless before. I couldn't scream for help because they had taped my mouth. They all left the room together. I was sweating from head to toe, I wasn't comfortable with my current condition. The armed man now entered the room again after discussing what they would do to me.Man 1 yanked the tape off my mouth and I cried in pain.“Look here girl, I'm not a bad person,” man 1 continued. “My mum also raised me to be a goody two shoes, like you. You see, why I chose this part was because of my greedy boss that didn't want to pay me after years of working for him. I killed the bastard and went to jail. Trust me, nothing beats that feeling of killing.

KILLIANKillian and I rushed to her, on getting to her, she collapsed to the ground. I then raised her from above the ground.“Laura Laura,” I tapped her softly on the cheeks. “Wake up Laura, wake up.”“We have to take her home immediately,” Lucio said.I lifted her up into my arms and headed for my vehicle. We all got In and drove home.In my arms again, I took Laura into the living room of the palace and dropped her unconscious body on the couch.“Lucio, go get the palace nurse and get them here fast,” I ordered.Lucio did as I commanded and the nurses arrived and examined her. They took their time with her. They bandaged her wounded arm and cleansed all her wounds.“Nurse, is she out of danger now, what's the update on her health?” I asked.“I've prescribed some medicine for her to take and she'll be back in her full health,” she said.“Thank you, nurse,” I said as she gestured a nodd.I took unconscious Laura to her room to rest. In no time she had woken up and I was immediately i

RHETT“Hey, leave me!” I commanded but they didn't pay no interest. “i swear I'll destroy you, your king and everything you love.”“First, think about how to stand up to your elder brother,” one of the guard said mockingly and they both high-five each other and laughed uncontrollably as they threw me into the dungeon and left.“If you have the guts then come in here and say it to my face!!” I ran to the gate screaming while they left. “I will destroy you, bastards!! Killian!I sat at a corner and thought of how I would exact my revenge on my cousin, Killian. But before anything I'd first think of a way to get out of this dungeon and also the palace.The guard on duty was very vigilant but had a worried look on his face. I reckoned something was bothering him and I would use that to my advantage.“What's bothering you? Share with me, c'mon,” I said to the guard. He didn't even look towards my direction. He kept patrolling left and right. “What would the problem be if not money?”He pau

RHETT“But before you kill him, you'll have to kidnap him first, you have to torture him. I want to see him beg you for mercy,” I clenched my teeth in anger.My phone rang. “Hello?”“Hello sir, it's Timothy, I've gotten the money and truly, I'm really grateful,” he said happily.“Just tell me why you called, I'm busy.”“I overheard Laura and Cassey's conversation this morning,” he continued. Cassey asked Laura if the both of you shared any relationship and she said no. She said that she knew you loved her but she doesn't love you, she also added that she could never love you. When Cassey had told her of the incident last night, she blamed you and said you were in the wrong. She said you put all the blame on Killian, but you also had insisted she attend the party. She then said that your concern towards her was of lust and not of love. I left without anymore because she had seen my shadow.”“I know he would question the security guards that were on duty that night, I want you to confes

LAURA“What?” I exclaimed. “But how could he have escaped?”“No one just breaks out of the palace dungeon. Someone must have helped him,” Killian said furiously.Killian quickly grabbed his night robe that was on his floor and put it on and we all left the room to go check for ourselves.We got to the cell where Rhett had been and the security guard was telling the truth, he had escaped. But where would he go and why would he go? Why would he escape from the dungeon the day he was to be released, I thought.Killian ordered the security guard to get his entire team and report to the visiting lounge for a meeting. Killian then left the dungeon to go get Lucio. He returned after a while with Lucio and they both went into the visiting lounge.I followed the man without their notice and I stood behind the door, eavesdropping on their conversation.Killian ordered the guards that were not present that night to leave the room and they all went out. I heard them opening the door and I quick
