CAST OUT

Locked up again I

“Zara!” Lord Gilbert yelled. As he flung the door open. He was burning in fury, how could he do this to him. Humiliate him like that, after all, he had done for him. Gave him his daughter, giving him support, but not anymore, since he had become too big for him to handle. He’s taking everything back. He would treat him the way he wants to be treated.

Kenzo Brennon!

How dare him, look down on him.

He was the lord Gilbert, the one you shouldn’t have dared with.

And he would make sure he pays. With death.

Now, there was no need for pretense.

He was sticking to the Hazard side now. And make sure he wins. If Hazard wins, he wins too. He gets to control him.

Either way. He’s not gonna lose.

“Zara!” He shouted, standing by the stairs. While tapping his feet continuously on the floor. Firstly he would call off the engagement. Pull off every string between him and Kenzo.

This time.

He’s not living to tell the story.

He would have killed him while he was still young, he hadn’t known he would grow up to be this strong.

Zara came down from the stairs. Clan in her skimpy sleeveless pajamas. Her nipple shoot her out, and the pajamas could barely cover her thighs. Her footsteps were light, she walks with elegance and power. She was no doubt a beauty.

“Dad?”

“Zara darling. Be quick!”

Hearing her father’s angry voice she hurried down the stairs. She gasped out seeing her father’s stained suit.

“Dad, what happened to you?” she inquired. Jumping down the last stairs. Making her pajamas shoot up, almost revealing her ass.

“I want you to call off your engagement!” he announced.

“Hold on dad.” Zara moved to her his side, staring at his body, up-down.

“What happened to you?”

“What you should care about it’s calling off the engagement.”

She crossed her hands underneath her breast. She scoffed. With an annoyed looked

“Why should I do that?”

“Look what he did to me, he completely humiliated me, in front of everyone in his house and the little girl.”

“What little girl?”

“She spills these on me. You could imagine, Kenzo sided with her. He made a fool out of me, right there in his house.”

“You didn’t inform him you were coming, did you? Why did you go there, you know the kind of person Kenzo is.”

“What, ain’t you engage to him already. I have got a right to?”

“You don’t have a right dad.”

“I was part of building him, up to where he is now.”

“Dad!”

Zara yelled getting frustrated.

“Whose side are you on. You’re calling off the engagement.”

“I’m not doing that. I’m not calling anything off between us.”

“Zara!” he shrieked.

“I’m sorry dad, whatever happened was between you and Kenzo, it had nothing to do with me.”

“You’re siding with me, against me, I’m your FATHER! I introduce you to him.”

“And that was your biggest mistake, cause I ain’t leaving him, ever!”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Zara!”

“Dad, please, I don’t want to be apart from Kenzo. I don’t want to leave him.”

“Zara, this is risky, you’re choosing your life over him. He’s doomed to fail, he’s not gonna win the election, he’s never gonna be crowned Lord of us all. And he’s gonna die, I’ll make sure of it.”

“Dad!”

“Is it that man, you’re gonna risk your life for? I’ll make him pay for this humiliation..”

“Is it just humiliation or there’s something more to it?”

Lord Gilbert hesitate before replying.

“There’s nothing. It is just that. I wasn’t expecting him to do that to me and he clearly stated that he’s doesn’t have any regard for me. After I helped him. I told you about the girl. The way he looked at her. I smell something.”

Zara chuckled.

“Is that the only thing you’ve got..”

“You should trust me, I’m your father.”

“I know you’re my father, but Kenzo is not like Hazard, that sleeps with everything underskirt. He’s different, he does stoop so low to a servant. You know that. You see this.” she showed him, the engagement ring on her finger. After lord Gilbert had announced that night, about their engagement, Kenzo had given a ring the next day and they gave the media what they ask for. Giving them romantic poses and pictures. And that night, she could still remember him deep inside of her. Tearing her apart.

He was so sweet!

She smiles at the thought, and he’s asking her to call it off.

Never.

He is her dream man, she’s never letting go.

“It is stuck in my finger, I’m not pulling it off. And you know what that means.”

“Don’t prove stubborn!”

“I’m just stating a fact

“You’re going to die if you stay by his side..”

“Don’t think of hurting him, if you hurt him, you’re hurting me and I won’t stand and watch you hurt me, I’ll fight back..”

“Zara!”

“And this election, he’s winning.”

“Zara!” he cried out. She turned her back against him going back, upstairs.

He held her arm and drew her back.

“If you leave, you’re choosing him over me, and I would turn my back against you, I’ll forget I have got a daughter as stupid as you.”

Zara blinked her eyes, yanking his hands off him.

“But, because I’m still your father and I love you, I won’t send you out. But don’t come crying to me. Cause he will only use you. To get what he wants. He’s no different from the rest of us. He’s doesn’t love, he’s doesn’t love but only hates and kills. Do you think those girls he messes around with that time all escaped freely from him? He killed them. All three of them. Only Sara was sensible enough to leave him and run over to have shelter in Hazard’s custody.

“That’s the man, you love? Don’t be stupid.”

“If you knew who he was, why did you give me to him. Why did you introduce me to him, you’re just as same as him. You used me too, the daughter you claimed to love.”

“Zara!”

“Let me go, I need to rest.”

She pulled his hands completely off her.

“I’m trying to protect you.”

“Just let him use me and they dump me.” she turned away.

“Zara!” he whispered in shock he wasn’t expecting her to say something like that. Zara had completely taken him unaware. He thought she was gonna say yes to everything he said. And not question his authority. What could Kenzo have done to her?

He couldn’t let her stay beside Kenzo, if she did, it’s not certain she would die, either Kenzo would kill her or any of his enemies would. And he wasn’t ready to lose another life.

She was right, he made a very big mistake giving her to Kenzo.

Elina was taken back to the dungeon, the same room she was locked up in when she arrived here. The dungeon they called it. She was hit by the horrible smell.

She held Aziel on the feet when he was able to leave. She sniffed and tighten her grip.

“Help me a please.” she pleaded.

Aziel sough, he felt sorry for her, but he couldn’t go against Kenzo, he’d given his orders and he’d to obey him.

“Just endure for a while, you’ll be out soon.”

“Will I be stripped and whipped?”

“I don’t know yet.”

She squinted her eyes. And let go of his feet.

He won’t know, it was all Kenzo, he knew what would happen to her. Her fate was in his hands.

Aziel squats and pats her hair, wiping the tears off her face.

“Why do you care for me?” she asked.

“I don’t know either. I keep asking myself that. Just stay alive, that’s all I ask.”

He stood up and walked out of the room, and shut the door. Locked it with a padlock and shove the key in his pocket and walked away.

Elina heard his feet as he walks further away from there.

She hugged herself, buried her head beneath.

At least there was someone, who cares.
