Chapter 30

Brandon's POV

"What's wrong Conor?" I opened the door to see Conor with a serious face.

"We caught him." My body tensed and I went rigid.

"Finally." I smirked. I looked back to see Alexa still in the bathroom. I closed the door and followed Conor.

We went to the dungeons. The awful smell awakened the beast in me. It felt good coming back here. Just like my dad, I was a beast and a monster in the dungeons. Especially when the people I loathed are here. I'm going to enjoy my night very much.

"No! STOP!" I heard his screams which were music to my ears. I enjoyed hearing his screams.

"He's here." Conor said opening a door. I nodded and entered. I saw him drenched in water from head to toe with few scratches on his face and broken arm. I smirked.

"Nice job Andrew." He looked at me and smirked with an evil glint in his eyes.

"Thank you your highness." I looked at Johnny. He had a scared look on his face. Wimp.

"P-please l-let m-me go." He cried. What a coward. He seemed very confident holding Alexa at the wedding.

"What happened big boy?" I smacked him on the face.

"You g-got her l-leave me a-alone." He chocked out.

"Why did you take her from the first place!" I screamed in his face.

"I-I....I don't k-know." I shared a look with Andrew.

"Great Conor will make you know now." I nodded at Conor.

"No p-please I b-beg you." He cried.

"Conor." He came to me. "Don't be too harsh on him. I want to talk to him tomorrow. Bring him food too." I whispered.

"Yes sir."

"Torture him a bit with iced water and few cuts but nothing major." I told him. "Come on Andrew." We went up to my office.

"I'll check up on Alexa meet me in five."

"Okay."

I opened the door of my room slowly and peeked to see it dark. Alexa was laying on the bed fast asleep. I went and sat on the edge of the bed. I'm lucky to have her. I will never lose her on purpose. I'll make sure she's always safe in my arms. I was sure of my feelings to her. My love is strong for her. Thank god I took her in time. It would have shattered me if she got married and I was late. I kissed her forehead and covered her with the bed sheets and left. Andrew was waiting for me in the office.

"Sit down Andrew."

"I didn't expect you to be lenient on him." He said.

"I didn't except it too. But there's something that told me that there's more to the story than what we know. I don't want him to die yet. I want to know every single detail about what happened with Alexa and what we should do to protect her. We know nothing about those people, we need more informations."

"You're right. I hope he cooperates with us. He seems like those actions weren't done by his own mind. Someone is controlling him."

"Exactly. And for us to know the whole story we need him alive."

"I'll be ready tomorrow at 10. See you in the dungeons."

Alexandra's POV

I woke up to see Brandon asleep next to me. I wonder where was he last night. I waited for him for half an hour. I studied his features as he was sleeping. His plump lips, his nose and his non existent frown. His eyes flustered open and he smiled.

"Good morning princess." He said in his morning voice.

"Good morning." I blushed.

"I love your blush." He smirked.

"Stop!" I laughed and hid my face with my hair. He laughed.

"What time is it?" I took my pocket watch to see the hour.

"It's 9 o'clock."

"Great. We'll have breakfast before I go to work." I nodded.

"Where were you yesterday?" I asked.

"In the dungeons." He was back to being serious.

"Why?"

"You don't have to worry about anything Alexa. Your safety and everything is my responsibility now. Okay?" That's why I fell in love with him everyday more and more.

"Okay." He kissed my cheek and went to the bathroom.

"Your highness." Came a high pitched voice from behind the door.

"Come in." I said and a small maid entered the room. "What's wrong?"

"My Lady I'm afraid you won't like the scene downstairs." My heart beat accelerated. What's happening?

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked frantically.

"It's better you see for yourself." She said.

"Okay. We'll be down in a few." She bowed and left.

"What happened? Why you look so pale?" Brandon said after he exited the bathroom.

"A maid came in here saying that something happened downstairs. And we won't like it." He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Okay I'll get dressed and we'll see what's happening." I nodded and went to the bathroom. I did my business, washed my face and brushed my teeth.

Many scenarios were running in my head in fear of what we'll see downstairs. God we don't need anymore drama we need a little bit of peace. Just few days of rest. We're really tired of these events. Everything will be fine if no one is injured. Or worst. Dead. I shook my head from these thoughts. It's not the time to think about these thoughts. We'll be down with everyone safe.

"Alexa are you done?" I dried my face fast and yelled a yes back. I left the bathroom and Brandon was fully dressed in his attire.

"I just want to change my clothes." I told him.

"Okay but hurry." I ran to the closet and searched for a dress. I wore my baby pink dress along with my shoes and together we left the room.

"Brandon." We turned to see Andrew with Maria heading towards us.

"Andrew what's happening?" He asked him.

"No idea let's go and see." Together we headed downstairs.

"Omg!" Maria screamed closing her eyes and I watched in horror at the scene in front of us.
