Chapter 457-Give Up On Beatrice.
I have been standing beside Reign with my mouth covered in my hands to prevent the gasps of shock from leaving my l*ips.
“Tell us everything,” Akin insisted as he watched me have a breakdown already.
“Zane took Colt,” she whispered, wheezing when breathing.
“I’m going to go talk to Zane,” that was it. I had been standing on the side for way too long now.
I knew something had to be done, or we would never see Colt again.
“Beatrice! That’s what he wants. For you to fear him and contact him. He wants to—,” Helel argued against the idea when I
frowned and grunted at him.
“So what are you suggesting I should do? Just sit here and do nothing while he tortures him and eventually kills him?” I raised
my voice despite knowing he was only worried about me.
I didn’t want to disrespect him. I was just desperate.
“You take care of her. I’ll go with her,” Akin knew I would not rest until I spoke to Zane and demanded a safe return for Colt, so he
advised Helel to stay behind and take care of the ladies while we went out looking for Zane.
“Please take care of her,” Helel whispered to Akin, who, instead of being jealous, nodded.
I loved the bond between these two brothers. Akin knew Helel still loved me, but he never snapped at him, as he knew he
couldn’t control Helel’s feelings for me.
After the two nodded, Akin walked my way and held my hand to walk me out of the mansion to find Zane.
We didn’t have to go too far to find Zane. He had found us first. The instant we walked out of the mansion, we saw a group of
people in all black standing on the road.
Among them stood Zane, with a smirk on his l*ips.
His tall figure could be recognized from afar. He wasn’t the only one I recognized. I saw Colt on his feet, all bloodied up and
barely keeping himself awake.
“Colt—,” the instant reality struck me, I tried to approach him, but Akin held my hand and prevented me from getting any closer to
Zane.
“Ahhh!” Zane groaned, stretching his neck and shaking his head.
“I made a bet with him. I said you would say my name first, but you made me lose. You always do that, Beatrice. Why?” Zane
acted hurt, kicking Colt and making him land on his face. “Lucky bastard.”
“Let him go,” I briskly made my way to him but stopped the instant his people were too close.
Akin was all set to make sure none of them t*ouched me or hurt me.
“Why? I didn’t work so hard to get him just to release him without getting anything in return,” Zane shrugged, making it obvious
that he was going to make a deal with us.
“You are not getting anything from us, Zane. Haven’t you already taken Maddox?” Akin grunted as he stepped ahead. I heard the
pain in his voice, but sadly, Zane couldn’t.
He looked the least bothered when looking his brother in the eye.
“See! That’s what I hate about good people. They are always so emotional. How many times are you going to bring him into this
conversation?” Zane sighed, speaking as if we were the ones wrong for constantly reminding him of his wrongdoing.
“And it’s pretty saddening that you came here looking for Colt and not me. You knew I had him, so look for me, babe,” Zane
ignored his older brother and continued speaking to me.
“Oh, sorry, you are also here. I don’t speak to someone who is lesser than me,” Zane grinned, striking Akin’s ego.
“Give him back, Zane. Or else the consequences will be huge–,” Akin didn’t seem to play this time. He was genuinely
considering fighting with his brother.
“Angry young man. Is that what she likes about you? You make her feel
good. Because you are always positive. Ready to do the right thing,” Zane scoffed as he mocked Akin for his goodness.
“It shouldn’t matter to you why she likes me. You should just know why she doesn’t like you. Because you are an evil person,”
Akin hissed, trying his best
to keep calm, but the way his body was twitching, I could tell he was losing his patience with him.
“Ah! Let her talk, Akin. I came here to listen to her,” Zane rolled his eyes when even he could tell I wouldn’t be able to speak a
word. I was crying hysterically, watching Colt throw up blood on Zane’s feet.
“What the f*uc*k! You ruined my shoes,” Zane’s mood changed as he saw the mess on his shoes.
“Ugh! I hate such entitled people who don’t consider respecting other people,”
Zane muttered, wrinkling his nose in disgust. I haven’t even been able to speak to him, and from the looks of it, he was all set to
leave.
“Sorry, babe, I’ll come back to have a word with you. Right now, I need to take care of this m—ess! Makes me want to vomit on
someone’s shoes,” he said, knowing what he was doing when commenting on Colt’s condition. It was a clear indication of how a
powerful man can do anything.
“Huia! Do the rest of the talking for me, will you?” Zane gave a wild jerk to his long coat and drove away in his black limbo.
Now that she has come out, she struggled to keep her posture intact because of Huia’s hard gaze.
“Let him go if you want to get out of here alive,” without wasting a minute, Akin threatened.
We were not afraid of going against her, but the power she held could delay our responses, and who knows, one of them might
be carrying the white dagger.
“At one condition only. Give up on Beatrice, and everybody else gets to live,” Huia announced, shrugging comfortably.
“I’m never accepting him,” I said, raising my voice, but it came out all deep and rough.
“Well, then, you leave me no choice,” she said as she raised her hand to cast a protection spell to make a boundary. One of her
men lunged at Colt with a big machete in his hands.
