Chapter 0285 , SEBASTIAN. , I hear the explosion go off, a signal for us too… as much as I thought I’d be alone, it’s wishful thinking. They sent Gaspard with me since he said he wants to get his pregnant woman out of here. , Annalise. , She sure played a good game, but the truth is there were so many more involved in their games than I had originally thought. I was right; she didn’t have the brains to be behind the entire kidnapping crap herself, and the worst part is I know Mom was the biggest instigator. , Gaspard’s hatred for me as we run through the tunnels that lead right into the Kings‘ Mansion is obvious. , He hates me as much as I **ing hate him. I wonder how they thought a team made of people who detest one another would ever **ing work. , I slowly let the time bomb I had hidden roll to the ground making sure it made no sound as we continue walking. It’ll go off when he sends the four squads this way. , This mansion was the place Zaia and I called home. A place where we thought we were safe, not knowing that so many people had possibly walked through those halls when she was home alone… , It sends a chill through me and when things are over, if I’m alive, I’m having a full assessment done underground to make sure there are no more secret , passageways., Gaspard steps ahead as he keys in a code. He’s been here before and that irks me. I wonder how many times he just met up with Annalise after I sent Zaia away. , The door clicks open and I’m looking into a room that smells of Mom, her cinnamon tea and her love for roses… it’s a room that I barely saw in the past as it was her place, but it’s been ransacked, they’ve checked the room thoroughly, but they never discovered the secret passage… , Fuck. , The entrance swings shut silently and with the heavy bookshelf in front of it, it probably didn’t even feel hollow… smartly hidden entrance. , Gaspard smirks as he presses something on the watch he’s wearing. , 15 BONUS , “We better get moving.” He says, looking at me. I nod as we slip into the bedroom, Mom and Dad’s room. , Gaspard raises his gun, getting it ready and I glance at him. , “You are not to kill anyone in this home,” I command as I open the bedroom door. , Where is Dad? , “You care too much for the traitors.” He says quietly. I ignore him as we silently make our way down the stairs towards the back of the house. Although we are being watched, the urge to shoot Gaspard is **ing real. , I just need to get to Sia first, and then I will unleash hell., They had given me a low dose of wolfsbane, and I had a feeling they would. They still don’t trust me and Gerard had tried to mind link a few minutes after I had drunk the juice. , I had kept my walls up, pretending I had heard nothing. A small amount of wolfsbane won’t work on me, but they didn’t need to know that. , Even in training, no matter how good I was, I never gave it everything I had, making sure they underestimated me. , ‘Zaia?‘ I try to connect to her through the mind link. It’s more draining than usual, but not impossible. , Saying her name hurts… Almost like I don’t **ing deserve to… , ‘Zaia, can you hear me?” , Fuck Little Fox, come on, hear me. Let me through. , But all I’m met with is a wall. , Dad… shall I try to mind link him? I’m not sure if it’ll work, but I don’t know who else I can try. , Jai… he’s an option too… , ‘Dad, Jai, can either of you hear me?‘ I call through the link. ‘Dad. Jai!‘ , ‘Sebastian?‘ Dad’s voice comes. He sounds almost unsure, and his voice is as cold. , as it was from the start. , ‘Dad, I need you to listen to me.” , “That time was gone. You really turned out to be your mother’s son… and for, 15 BONUS , someone who said they no longer saw me as their father, why call me Dad?‘ That stings, I won’t deny that, but right now, between Mom, Dad and Gerard, Dad is the only one I would call family… , ‘Because right now you are the only family I have.‘ I say quietly. ‘Even though I know I am not the son you wanted… I don’t know if you see my children as your grandchildren, but Sia was poisoned by Mom- or should I say the witch Agatha… They tried to kill my son and I don’t even know why. Sia is dying Dad, if not for me, think of it as helping a child. One who has done no wrong to anyone.‘ , He sighs heavily. ‘My son would not be a traitor… My son would not leave his family and run. When Agatha wanted you to marry Cara, I wanted you to bring Zaia back, bring your children back… but even though she changed her mind about Cara, you brought Zaia back. You still hurt her. I detest the likes of you.‘ , Chapter 0286, Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
