I woke up early this morning to an empty bed beside me. Thinking she must have gone to the bathroom, I changed sides, but when I saw the bathroom light is off, I shook my head and frowned.
‘She woke up before us. I am sure she is restless from all the stress,’ King suggested, and I pouted. I really hate to see Beatrice worried.
‘Then I think a good vacation is a must. I just don’t know how to plan anything and leave the others to deal with that crazy monstrous brother of mine,’ I scoffed, dragging my body out of the bed.
‘I will take a shower and join her in the kitchen. I am sure she is trying to cook something for me,’ I smiled at the idea of finding her in the kitchen.

‘Yeah, I hope she has finally distinguished between salt and sugar. The tea was too salty last time,’ King joked, reminding me of the tea she made for me last time. She added salt instead of sugar, and I sat there and drank all of it so that she didn’t find out she messed up.
‘Isn’t she cute?’ I smiled, rushing under the shower to get ready for the day. After wearing black pants and a white shirt, I walked out of my room to meet her. While on my way to the kitchen, I found Helel and Gwen sitting in the living room.
“All good?” I asked hurriedly because I couldn’t wait to see Beatrice and k*iss her on her juicy cheeks.
“She is having a little pain,” Helel mumbled, sitting close to her and looking worried.
“Maybe it’s time then?” I paused, stopping in my tracks, and stood at the door to have a word with them.
“We should take her to the hospital,” I suggested.
“I’m fine,” Gwen replied, smiling a bit. “You know what?” she spoke to Helel directly. Now I felt awkward standing here and listening to them.
“I can see now,” the bright smile on her lips melted my heart. It gave me a sense of satisfaction.
“Really? See, I told you everything would be alright soon,” Helel excitedly said, grinning ear to ear.
“That’s good news,” I said, looking around to see If Beatrice heard me and came out of the kitchen. She didn’t. At this point, a little agitation in my body began to make me wonder what was up.
“Ah!” Gwen yelped and instantly zipped her lips tightly.
“Gwen! I think we should take you to the hospital now,” Helel was right. She was forcing herself to feel fine.
“I don’t want to go out of this mansion,” she finally announced, shaking her head vigorously at the idea of leaving the mansion.
“But–,” Helel insisted when I intervened.
“Don’t worry, I will call in the services,” I mumbled and grabbed my phone, determined to arrange a room here and get everything done before it was time. Which I felt like we didn’t have much of. After making that call, I called in the helpers and told them to clean a room and prepare it.
The doctors and nurses were called in. The entire mansion was lit up.
I felt as if a wave of horror had spread through my body.
‘This can’t be. Why would she leave around midnight and not come home even hours later?’ King was quick enough to raise a concern, and I shared his sentiments.
“I need to look for her,” I said as I turned to see my guards.
They were all busy guarding the area around Gwen to ensure a safe birth. I looked around in bewilderment, finding myself in a tough spot. The guards were required here, but at the same time, somebody needed to be on heavy-duty to find Beatrice.
“Call the gammas from the border and inform them to meet me near the woods,” I told the guard before rushing out of the mansion.
It was so scary to find her gone when there was a psychopath waiting to get his hands on her.
I know I was needed back in the mansion, but Beatrice needed me more than anybody else. So I continued my search, and to my surprise, she was nowhere.
“What did you find?” I asked the Gamma warrior, approaching him hastily.
“It appears as if she went to the mountains last night,” the warrior said, looking a little down.
“And what else?” I asked, and he pulled out a note for me.
For a second, I found my world crashing.
