KAIDEN STIRLING

After reaching Freda’s ward. I halted outside her ward and seeing her in that condition was affecting me. I felt like pulling her from the crazy pain she had been feeling. I wanted to share her pains and burdens with her. I would do anything I can to help.

I went inside the ward and saw her better, she looked so pallid.

“Kaiden” My name simply came off her lips.

“Freda, how are you doing?” I asked.

“Fine”

“I want to ask you about the incident that happened in the meeting room that day” I gently asked watching her reaction in case she seemed uncomfortable with talking.

“Okay, but why?”

“We are trying to find clues, at least we should know what happened there”

“Okay. That day, Lyra got a call from Georgina that my dad was dying. I immediately went to the hospital, and all of a sudden, he wasn’t dying. To my surprise, Safiya was there. The look in her eyes had actually scared me. Lyra had been screaming. Francisco too. She had one of the guards inject me. I could only remember yelling Fransisco.” Freda said with sadness.

So what ha..happened next? I asked and carefully held her hand.

“I woke up feeling great pain. I had a massive headache that threatened to c**k my skull. The sound of the echoing voices made it worse. I could hardly see anything, everything seemed blurred. When I tried to I couldn’t connect to my wolf that was when I realized I was also injected with wolfsbane, which made me and my wolf injured. I couldn’t move my hand because it was held tightly by the guards and he yanked it tightly making me feel more pain. I cried out in pain and didn’t know where I was. Immediately it was known that I was awake the guards holding me were asked to bring me forward. I was confused until I was told that I was charged with attempted murder of Luna and her baby.” Her voice became shaky as she recounted the events of that day.”

Sorry, talk gently” My heart was shattering into tiny glass pieces. I was feeling pained but no matter how much pain I felt listening to her it wasn’t comparable to what she felt, not even one bit.

“When Lyra tried to defend me she ended up getting beaten but she smiled at me despite what defending me put her through. I also tried to defend myself and challenge Safiya but it was as if I was talking to the empty air. I noticed Fransisco’s absence and looked at Lyra and I knew from the visage on her face that Fransisco was in danger”. Her eyes were becoming teary.

“It is okay” I couldn’t believe all these happened, she had to bear so much pain and I wasn’t there to even help, I did nothing.

“I looked at Safiya. She was staring at me with a smirk on her face. I asked her for Fransisco taking deep breaths and trying to calm the chaotic storm in my head and chest. She smiled wide. I

screamed at her asking for my son then she gestured something to the guard at my right side. I asked for her for Fransisco but she didn’t even bat an eyelid. I was drowning in my emotions thinking about what she could have done to my son when I was slapped by the guard, he slapped me so hard, leaving most people ahooked and when a council member spoke up for me saying that the dap was unnecessary she shut her up” Freda said.

“It’s alright. Stop talking” I was very sure if she continued she would break down in tears.

I was shocked after hearing what Safiya did again, how could Safiya ask a guard to slap her in that situation? After injecting her with wolfsbane and the idiotic quard gave her a hard slap to the extent it made those people stunned. I swear I’d deal deathly with both of them. She was really abusing her power, She just kept on making me feel antipathy and disgust for her, She was deepening the hatred I have for her.

“Kaiden, why is your face like this?” She said in a frail manner. I didn’t want to disturb her.

“Nothing, just thinking about how I would gather evidence. Freda, let me get you something to drink”

I told her and she nodded weakly.

I couldn’t let my face get her worried, I caressed her hand gently and kissed her forehead before leaving.

I looked outside and tried to find solace but her speech filled my head and I felt very bitter. I got her lemon and honey tea for her throat and went back to the ward,

“Freda, would you take this it’s good for your throat,” I said it like

I was doing an advertisement.

“Yes” She smiled and I gave her to drink, I still felt surges when I was with her. I wanted her to be okay and I’ll do anything to ensure it.
