Chapter 237: Only Regret...

"M-Mr. Ava-" Keisha stuttered as she tried to speak, and Adrik shifted his gaze to her with a smile on his face beneath the mask he wore. "Is there anything I can help you guys with?" He asked, and they slowly nodded their heads.

"We'd like...to see her." Kiesha's lips trembled as she found herself about to break into tears. 

A low breath exited Adrik's nose, and he tilted his head to one side. "Why should I let you guys see her?" He asked, and they glanced at each other, unsure of what to say.

They returned their gaze to him, and Victor's eyes fluttered anxiously. "She's our best friend and-"

"Follow me." Adrik turned around before he could finish his words and began to walk towards the elevator.

They glanced at each other and hurriedly followed after him as he stepped into the elevator. It took them up to the second floor, and they walked out when the door pushed open.

They strolled past the corridor in which its left wall was built with glass and stopped in front of a white door with a golden wolf head structure fixed on it. 

Victor glanced at it with narrowed eyes and slightly shook his head as he averted his gaze.

Adrik turned the handle and pushed the door open, then gestured them in. They half smiled at him as they stepped in, and the moment they raised their heads to glance around the room, their bodies stilled.

Their eyes blinked uncontrollably as they stared at the unconscious Leia, who lay on the bed with a bandage wrapped around her injured head.

"Leia..." Keisha spoke her name in what came out as nothing other than a whisper and immediately rushed to her. She stared at her and tiny drops of tears began to fall from her eyes. "I am... so sorry." Her hands trembled as she leaned in to touch her. She took Leia's hand in hers and raised her eyes to glance at Victor and James, whose eyes were already watery.

"Is she okay?" Victor turned to Adrik and asked, and Adrik slightly nodded at him in response. They immediately took a breath of relief and fixed their gaze on Leia, unsure of what to say or do. Deep down, they knew that it was their fault that their best friend was in that condition, and the guilt they felt was immeasurable. "We are sorry, Leia..." Jame's lifted his hand and wiped away the tears in his eyes.

Adrik stood beside the door with his hands shoved into his pocket and intently watched them in silence.

They spent a few more minutes there and finally decided to leave after apologizing.

"Please let us know when she becomes conscious." Kiesha half-smiled at Adrik with a pessimistic expression on her face, and Adrik slightly nodded at her.

They glimpsed Leia one last time before turning around and making their way out. The elevator took them downstairs, and they made their way out towards their car, then got in and carefully drove off.

Adrik's brow arched, and without uttering a single word to the bodyguards that stood at the entrance, he turned around and made his way towards the couch in the living room to take his seat. 

He ordered one of the maids for a cup of coffee, and the maid arrived within a few minutes. He took his mask off and slowly lifted the cup to his lips, then sipped from it.

His gaze abruptly became distant, and the scene of what happened to Leia that night replayed in his mind. There was only one thing that he was suspecting could be the cause, but he wasn't sure enough. 

A low breath exited his nose, and he dialed Alex's number.

Looking quite disordered, the royal guards pushed the door of the castle-like building open for Selena, and she walked in. She strolled towards the stairs and began to walk up, however, someone's voice which suddenly resounded stopped her on her track.

"Where have you been?" She turned around to see Lekhma standing with his hands behind his back and a stern look on his face.

"Why do you ask? Do I have to report everything I do to you?" She inquired, with displeasure and impatience evident on her face.

Lekhma raised his eyebrows at her and abruptly chuckled. "I see your mate rejected you, no?" He adjusted his robe and proceeded to walk towards her on the stairs.

Selena's brow crinkled deeply, and she folded her arms in a displeased manner. "Have you been following me?" She asked, and Lekhma suddenly found himself laughing mockingly at her. "Be careful, girl. You're falling out." He shook his head at her in amusement and walked past her to make his way to his room.

Selena stared intently at his disappearing back and her hands balled into a tight fist. "Humph!" She dangerously narrowed her eyes with an ugly look on her face and proceeded to storm to her room.

Thunder rumbled in the sky and the rain fell heavily on the group of people clad in black clothing, standing on the cemetery ground. 

Amanda's wet lashes flickered in pain as she watched her uncle's coffin being rolled six feet into the ground. Her heart tightened within her and her hands balled into a tight fist. Maybe, just maybe, she and her uncle did have a little bit of trouble with each other recently, but her love for him never shook.

He was there throughout her childhood and gave her one of the best memories she ever had, and now... he was gone. Another important person in her life is gone, and what's worse, the police are unable to find any leads or suspects relating to the death of her uncle. 

But it doesn't matter because, even without evidence, she knows exactly who the culprit is, and it's none other than the bitch Leia. It was just too coincidental. How could her uncle die, days after attempting to capture her? Just how? Her uncle just recently came back, so she would confidently say that he provoked no one nor got into a fight with anyone.

Her balled hands tightened and diminutive tears fell from her eyes. The only thing she regrets so much was not making up with him and giving him a warm hug as he used to when she was a child. 

She shut her eyes and then, the next moment she opened them, cruelty flickered in her orifices.

She turned around and walked past the surrounding people, making her way towards the car. "Let's go."

The bodyguards pulled the door of the car open for her and she stepped in, then they rushed to the front to take their seats in the driver's seat.. They activated the engine and carefully drove off down the road, followed by the rest of the bodyguards behind them.
