Some nurses walked into the room on his confused state, holding some sheets in their arms. They noticed Adonis's presence and remarked him with a greeting before one of the nurses headed to the bed to change the sheets. Their action dawned on him a more complex perplexity, as he did not understand why they were changing the sheets when someone was still admitted in that ward, on that bed, but on a view of his expression, the less busy nurse addressed him to relieve his confusion “Sir, you must be in search of the patient that was admitted here,” she probed. “Yeah, where is she?” Adonis asked, his brows knotted as it revealed his puzzlement. “She was discharged just some moments ago, sir,” she replied, her expression docile. Adonis's brows contorted into a furrow of surprise and bewilderment, and then infuriated at the fact that they hadn't informed him before letting that happen.“How could you discharge a patient without the knowledge of the person that had brought them in?!” he q

She was visibly startled by the sight of her father at the door, in his wheelchair, staring up at her in a conclusively concerned manner. In a bid to not alert Oliver on the fact that there was a high tendency her father had heard what they'd discussed, Harriet shut the door close before turning to her father.She hadn’t expected him eavesdropping, but it was something that was bound to occur at any moment of their stay in the house. And it had been just a few days back, after what had happened to Oliver, that her parents had moved to the house to keep her company. It had been worthwhile during the period she was alone, but at that moment, she saw their presence as nothing but a disturbing burden that she mostly wondered what still kept them back from moving back to their own allocated home.“What are you doing here, Father?” she inquired, her gaze repudiating. “Harriet,” his tone of voice confirmed the fact that he had definitely overheard her conversation with Oliver, so she headed

They awaited just so eagerly for him to take up that morsel of food into his mouth and mark the end achievement of their mission, but the ruckus that seemed to be happening outside the room disrupted him from doing so. Thus, as he was pricked with somewhat curiosity on what was going on, he dropped the spoon to the plate and stood to his feet, making his way towards the door. In a panic fidget to make him eat the meal instead of leaving the room and getting the job over with, the maids tried compelling him with words to disperse his attention from whatever was happening outside his room to eating the food, at least a spoon full, but Adonis wasn’t one to be deterred when his attention had already been pricked by curiosity. Pushing them aside from his way, he escaped through the door, only to find his Father—King Archie—lying unconscious on the ground just right in front of his room, surrounded by lots of panicking servants and maids. An addition was the queen. Shoving them out of his w

It wasn’t very long before the sudden disappearance of Adonis spread around the palace like a stormy weathered breeze, only, it couldn’t just die down. One of the out-house workers in the palace had discovered the next day after Adonis's abduction a golden wristband on the ground just few meters from the palace—Adonis's wristband, and Jesse had been immediately told the news. He'd contacted the royal elders but restrained from telling the King in his still incapacitated state after he had gathered men to search the entire palace and confirmed that Adonis was truly missing. Then, an emergency meeting with the elders on the matter was held, and Jesse had the honor of being present in the meeting to witness whatever decisions they would take and also make his own opinions. When they were all seated, all ten of the royal elders as well as the important royal councils and Jesse, in the meeting hall, the meeting commenced.“Dearest members of the royal council and elders,” spoke the chief

Later during the day, Valerie made her way into town, to pay Harriet a visit. Knowing the directions to Oliver's home, she calculatedly concluded that Oliver wouldn’t be present in their home, and that she had an eighty percent chance of meeting Harriet alone in the home. All the while she drove to the location, her mind pondered on two things; Adonis's wellbeing and the fact that he had previously been married to a woman who had the audacity to cheat on a man like him. She knew little about Adonis's past, but she could very much reach an end deduction that Harriet had been the dumbest woman on earth to have brutally dumped a man like Adonis and went for one like Oliver. This prompted her to knock frantically yet disturbingly on the door to their home the moment she arrived there, piqued by the likes of Harriet and Oliver that her only motivation was her need to find Adonis.The manner in which she knocked on the tall wooden frame of a door probed Harriet on the inside to head over t
