what is he doing here?

Donald sat at his desk, the glow of his laptop screen casting shadows on his face. He read the email from Fredrick Harrison again, the words blurring as a lump formed in his throat. The engagement party had been scheduled for two weeks from now.

Donald's mind raced, trying to grasp the gravity of the situation. He knew that this event would mark a significant change in their lives. Fredrick Harrison was not just anyone; he was a prominent figure whose approval and presence were highly sought after.

Kimberley, on the other hand, was in the living room, scrolling through her phone without a care in the world. Donald knew he had to break the news to her, but how could he explain the knot of anxiety tightening in his chest? He took a deep breath, coughed to clear his throat, and called out to her, handing her his phone.

"The engagement party has been scheduled for two weeks from now. We have to get everything ready. As for the pureness of our daughter, I'll have a little chit-chat with her."

Donald felt a wave of emotions crashing over him. Anxiety gnawed at his insides, and his hands trembled slightly as he handed the phone to Kimberley.

He had always been meticulous, ensuring everything was perfect, and now he had only two weeks to prepare for an event of such magnitude. And his daughter wasn't exactly what they expected her to be. "Pure" 

Kimberley eyed the the phone with sheer disgust. " She's a bitch as we know, and not my daughter. " She rolled her eyes and scoffed. I'll have to just teach her a lesson before she leaves. A smirk appeared on her face as she spoke. " After all, she is going to get tortured where she's heading. I'll I'll just be warming her up. "

Donald shrugged and bent over to kiss her cheek, but she shrugged him off. " Not now, Donald." She sighed and rolled her eyes. " We need to stick to the plan, after we exploit them, we'll stand undefeated." She grinned proudly and relaxed her back against the couch. 

Donald bit his lower lip at his stubborn wife and shook his head a little. " As you wish, my lady." 

Regina forced herself to stay conscious after days of starvation, with only the support of the toilet wanted she'd been drinking to keep her stamina at Bay for sometime. " They will pay for what they're doing to me, I swear! " She screamed and buried her head in her pillow.

She was so immersed in her pillow that she didn't notice when someone entered her room through the window. She couldn't even cry anymore, all her hope was now lost. At least they could have allowed her to enjoy the time she has left. It'd been a week, and she'd been vomiriu the water she'd been managing herself with for the past few days. 

~Grab!

She felt a cold touch on her shoulder and she gasped. Her eye widened and she slowly turned her head to face the person who hovered above her. 

" You!" She scream in her head, but could only stare as she watched his lips twich a little. His face was ever so perfect, and his scent was oddly farmiliar. His long white hair cascaded down his back elegantly, adding to his exceptional beauty. 

What was he doing here?! She screamed in her mind and watched as he leaned closer without saying a word.

How did he get my location? What's happening? Her eyes teared up, and she couldn't fathom the reason behind her tears. She didn't Know whether to be happy at that point. " What're you doing here?" She gulped and finally summoned the courage to ask. 

His dark pupils suddenly changed color to a unique brown and his mask suddenly disappeared, revealing the face of.... Athena!!!

Athena splashed water in her friend's head with concern laced on her face, while Flora giggled in a corner. 

" Why?! " Regina yelped and tried to use her hand to block the water from reaching her further. She heaved a long sigh after the water can was empty. 

She looked to weak and tired and just slammed her head back in the pillow without a care in the world. She'd given up on it few days ago. 

" What's wrong? " Athena caressed her hair softly and sighed. " We saw your sister's post on Insta, of you crying and wailing loudly. We knew something was wrong but they didn't allow us to come visit you, saying you travelled."

Flora folded up her arms and scoffed. " Those Ass holes! " She took slow strieds toward her friend and let out a deep breath. Regina sighed.

" So you're not him?" She said weakly, making them frown in confusion, but before they could interrogate further she passed out. 

They'd both been trying to contact her after the incident, and after so many futile attempts, they deduced that her plan must've backfired. The theory was confirmed after they saw her sister's post. " What does she mean by what she said?" Athena asked with worry laced in her tone.

Flora simpli walked over to her and checked her temperature. She Checked her puls and then her eyes reduced to the part of her exceptionally flat tummy. " They've probably been starving her. She developed a fever and needs immei medical care. " She paused and tilted her head to the side. " Something feels odd." She spoke up and rested her palm under her chin.

Athena sighed and brought out a half eaten doughnut. " She should have this. " She pointed it out towards Flora, but Flora slapped it out of her hand. " How could you?!" 

Athena frowned. " Stop that, we need to feed her now so she can take pills. The doughnut is safe, trust me. " She raised her right palm up in defense. 

Flora took out a bar of chocolate out of her bag. " She doesn't need to take pills now. She still needs to undergo some tests first. All she requires right now is energy. " 

Athena paused for a moment and frowned. " Did you hear that? I think someone is coming! "
