Chapter 54 : The Counter Was On

Asher's POV

'I'll get out of here and come find you as soon as possible,' I told Vika.

She was alone with my father. I knew what he wanted. I shuddered.

'Stall him as long as you can. He took some pills that made him stronger. If you stall him, they might wear off,' I added.

'Okay, I'll do what I can,' Vika said.

She sounded so far away like a whisper from across a room.

'Protect yourself, Vika. If you get the chance, run. I'll find you,' I said.

'We'll be together soon,' she said.

Yeah, I hoped that was true.

Speaking of, where were the soldiers even taking me? I looked around. We were headed underground. Well, my father said to take us to an underground dungeon.

"Here you go, Prince Asher, your new room," one of the soldiers said, pushing me into the dungeon.

I whipped around and tried to hit him. Nope, my arms were still tied behind my back.

Kira was pushed in behind me. She tripped and fell with her arms tied.

"Kira." I knelt down beside her.
