Chapter 56
Waking up around 2:45 AM, I couldn’t find the heart to go back to sleep after that. The whole room is dark and I bet one of the men must’ve turned it off.
My headache and dizziness were gone for a moment but sometimes it would appear for few minutes.
Here I am, alone in a quiet room…
I know Keian told me to just stay in this room but I feel so restless.
And I’m not the kind of person who really follow one’s order. Most of the time I’d follow my instinct and what I feel inside.
Yeah…. I know. I’m stubborn.
So I stood up from the bed and went out of the room, opposite from what Kei ordered me to do.
It’s pretty dark and awfully quiet in the whole headquarters. Looks like all of the men are sleeping.
Although I know that there are few guards awake in these hours so I just wish they wouldn’t see me.
“Ma’am,” I gasped and my hands immediate reached my chest as I heard someone calling me.
My eyes widened upon looking at the guard who seemed pretty shocked himself.
He’s holding a flashlight and he looks stunned to see me in this very late hour.
“Oh, you almost gave me a heart attack.” The guard smiled at me. He’s still young, probably much more younger than me. Perhaps he’s a new recruit.
“Sorry ma’am, but Maître Andrew strictly ordered us not to let you out of this room.” I pouted at what he said.
“I feel so sweaty, I wanted to take a bath in Keian’s room at this time so it’d feel fresh. All of my things are there.” I reasoned out.
“But ma’am—”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“If you want, you could give me company.”

“W-WHAT?! U-Uhmmm, I-I’m afraid I can’t—” I shakily moved my hands in front of him.
“Oh no, don’t get the wrong idea huhu. I must’ve asked you the wrong way.” I realized what I just said and heaved out a sigh.
Hayst.
“I mean, you can accompany me to Keian’s room, if it’s alright for you, you can wait for me there and we’ll go back here together.” I thought of what I said. Please agree, please agree. He scratched his nape and thinks for a moment.
“Sure, ma’am. I’ll accompany you, it’s really dark outside and there are a lot of men guarding this place.” I beamed.
“Yes! I mean— sure. Let’s go.” I started walking so he followed me out.
We entered the backdoor of the mansion and climbed up to Keian’s room.
“I’ll wait for you here.” He says, smiling.
“I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience.”
“That’s okay.” So I opened the door and stepped in.
I roamed my eyes around the room, searching for things to use.
I went to the bathroom and opened the shower. So much water will be wasted but I had to do this.
After that, I walked to Keian’s walk-in closet and looked for clothes to wear.
I’m pretty sure there are no CCTV’s in here and when I walked towards here in Kei’s room along with the young man, I also checked where the cameras are located.
As I found some black pants, I wore it eventually. Good thing I already transferred my things here in this room.
I went to the veranda and observed the green grass from above.
Keian’s room is on the third floor but I’m already used to going down from very high places because of what happened to me in the past…
But wait a minute.
The guard might notice that I didn’t take a bath, for sure I needed a lot of time.
Aish! Why did I even turned the shower on?!
I irritatedly returned to the bathroom to turn the shower off then went to the door.
Sorry Mr. Guard…
I opened the door.
“Oh ma’am, are you do—” Sidewards, I hit my arm on his neck which made him fall asleep immediately.
I quickly dragged him inside the room, the hallway is dark so the security cameras wouldn’t see me for sure and as the camera’s position is also facing the other side.
I left the guard lying down on the floor and went down from the veranda.
There are only a few CCTV cameras on the field so it’s where I decided to land.
I look to my left then to my right then continued my way to another building beside the headquarters, making sure I won’t be caught in any one of the security cameras.
I heaved out a sigh of relief as I reached inside the building.
There’s almost nothing on the ground floor but when I went down at some basement, I sensed it was like a prison cell. There are also a lot of guards.
My eye catched a sliding door and as I peeked through, I saw different variations of guns and weapons.
I walked near to it and observed the room.
It’s their armory!
I studied their weapons carefully. I have seen most of them before but the others seems like inventions of the Marques Manufacturing.
I saw some tranquilizer guns and grabbed a gun with a silencer. Then I immediately shoot the bullet at the CCTV inside the room.
Then immediately grabbed a tranquilizer gun.
I focused my eye and face to the dart and made sure this’ll make anyone fall asleep immediately.
I also brought the gun with a silencer, just in case.
Where am I going? I’ll just go visit Nathan and come back once I have already talked to him.
But since Keian had ordered everyone not to let me out of the room,
I know they wouldn’t let me see Nathan if I just strut my way there.
So I have to do this.
I went to the place where all of the guards are.
They’re all playing poker and gambling actual money.
There are exactly five men there so I shot each one of them some tranquilizers. So there they are, asleep.
To be completely sure that no one sees me, I directly went to the jail cells.
There are absolutely no one in the cells, except for Nathan who’s sitting on the ground, hugging his knees close to his chest.
“Nathan!” He looks up to me and was ultimately confused upon me.
“Nassandra? What are you doing here?”
I went near to his prison cell.
“I just wanted to speak to you. I wanted to know why you did all those things.” I raised a brow at him but he stayed quiet.
“Please, Nathan. Why did you have to do those? Why did you have to hurt the head maid? Are you assigned as a spy for Keian’s mafia? Do you work for Diego?” I bombarded him with questions.
I was puzzled when he suddenly laughed like a lunatic.
“Yes! I am! So? What are you going to do with me?” I looked at his body’s situation.
He’s still bleeding and he seemed like he couldn’t stand at all. He also had bleeding wounds everywhere in his body.
“Your wounds had to be cleaned, it might cause an infection.” He looks at me with a scary glare.
“You don’t care if I’m wounded or not. I don’t want to talk to you so just leave.” He coldly stated out.
It’s the very first time I saw him act this way. Every time we talk, he’s usually jolly and always smiling.
“Nathan—”
“Don’t call me Nathan. That’s not my real name.” I was shocked at his sudden announcement.
“Then what?”
“You didn’t have to know that, so leave!” He tried pushing me away even though he was just inside his cell.
I stepped away from him but sat in front of him, not intending to leave at all.
“Are you working for Diego?” He narrowed his eyes at me till it slowly became full of sadness.
Huh?
“Y-Yeah. Please, Nass, save me. I badly want to get out of here. I can’t live like this anymore.” I saw tears coming out of his eyes.
“Please save me, get me out of here.” I clenched my palms, not knowing what to do.
“Nass. It’s my day off, I deserve to go out of here. Please, Nass.” He held the cold metal that was serving as a barrier between us.
I swear I could feel the pain in his voice but I am absolutely clueless to what I’m supposed to do. I can’t just let him out, I just wanted to know the reason why?
“No, Nathan. You can’t—”
“NO! He’ll kill me, Nass. Whatever I do, they will chase and kill me. So let me go and I’ll run far away from this place!” He said, screaming.
He stretched his hands out, intending to reach me.
My eyes widened at the sight of his very frightened face.
“Please, Nass. Save. Me.” He held both of his ears as if he was hearing stuff.
My eyes are suddenly getting watery with tears.
I don’t know what I should do. All that Keian told me is that he wouldn’t kill Nathan and that’s all I ask. Because Nathan still did something sinful.
“You’re safe here, Nathan. Diego wouldn’t reach you here. Keian will keep you safe, I promise.”
“Liar! He’s a liar, Nass. How can you trust him when you don’t even have an idea of his true colors? Hahaha! You thought you already know enough about the real Keiranz? Hence, be prepared! Hahahahaha!” He stated dramatically then laughed like crazy.
His tears are pouring even though he was smirking at me and I can’t…
I can’t handle seeing him in this situation anymore.
That’s why I couldn’t help but grab the keys from the guards and shakily walked towards Nathan’s cell.
“Please, after you go out, please run. Run as far as you can go. Nathan, please.” His eyes were given life as he eagerly nod at me.
“Okay, Nassandra. I promise, I’ll run away.” I smiled, my feelings controlling over my mind.
I used the key with his cell number on it to open the jail cell.
He smiled and quickly got out then grabbed my wrist to run away as fast as we can.
Wait…
I didn’t say anything about running away with him…
