    0 The Unwanted Proposal (Helel Spade)


    “What are you saying? Why would she leave on her own and not be found till now?” I asked, since it


    was not making any sense. Ever since I heard she was missing, I haven’t been able to enjoy the


    happiness of having a baby girl in my life.


    I was so happy until I heard Beatrice had been missing sincest night. It was crazy because I thought


    she was outside with Akin, guarding the mansion, or else I would have suspected it way earlier.


    “The energy says she left on her own. There is some video of her walking around,” Reign added.


    Exining why they were making such a huge im. “That doesn’t exin anything,” Akin suddenly


    intervened, and our eyes travelled to his face. His bodynguage seemed weird. Did he know


    something?


    “Akin! You have been looking for her everywhere. Did you find nothing at all?” I insisted on knowing


    because his bodynguage was beginning to bother me. He seemed like he knew something but was


    holding back.


    “I—,” he paused, rubbing his face in his hands.


    “Akin, whatever it is, tell us. It is important for us to know so that we can search for her with that


    information in our mind,” Colt requested Akin say whatever he was holding in. At this point, it was pretty


    obvious that he was indeed hiding something from us.


    After taking a deep breath, he nodded to himself as he prepared himself for answering us.


    “They found a letter that they are suggesting she wrote it,” he confessed. His words made me close my


    eyes and let out a sigh of relief and worry at the same time.


    If she wrote a letter, it means she is fine. But why will she write a letter and disappear?Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    “What is in the letter?” I asked, watching him slide his hand into his pocket and refusing to take it out. “It


    doesn’t matter what is in the letter. We need to find her regardless,” his resistance caught the attention


    of everyone. So it was indeed true. He was hiding something from us.


    “Do you want her to be found? Then tell us,” I approached him, noticing how quickly he stepped away


    from me. Whatever it was, it was bothering him.


    “That letter is nothing. There is no way she wrote it,” his voice broke, his eyes shining with tears as he


    yelled.


    “Okay! Calm down,” I said, raising my hands, gesturing for him to rx. “If you are saying it, then it


    must be just that. Then maybe somebody else wrote that letter. We need to inspect it, Akin!” I wanted


    to read whatever was in the letter. It appeared that Akin was in denial, and I was devastated.


    After looking at us for a few seconds and registering that what I was saying was right, he nodded and


    [pulled out the letter from his pocket.


    I snatched it out of his hands and started reading it loudly. With every word that I read, my energy


    began to go down. Everybody seemed upset, and with Akin staring at our faces to determine what we


    were thinking and that we were hopefully not believing the letter, it was getting h*arder to show a


    genuine reaction.


    Once I finished the letter, Reign hugged Colt while Monique excused herself to be with Gwen.


    “So? Who do you think wrote it?” Akin asked, waiting for our response. “Akin!” I said, clearing my


    throat, “what did the guard say about the blood sample?” I questioned, and he instantly shifted his body


    weight to one l*eg.


    “Why? What does that have to do with anything happening at this moment? We are talking about the


    letter,” he defensively argued with me, refusing to answer such a simple question.


    “You need to be honest with us,” I was requesting of him because I cared about both of them. However,


    where he didn’t want to believe the letter, I wanted to believe it.


    What if Beatrice did feel something after we k*issed?


    What if that made her think of the time we had been together? Would that mean she wants to give me


    a second chance? But why couldn’t she leave for herir and spend some time there? The fact that she


    wasn’t even there was worrisome.


    “The guard said she came and collected her blood because she didn’t want to be located,” Akin


    answered in a half-absent state.


    “They have a video of hering and exiting the royal lockers,” Akin continued to speak, plopping


    down on the couch and hiding his face in his hands.


    Now we were even lost.


    “Can we see the video?” Colt asked in a worrisome tone. Akin pulled his phone out and gave it to him. I


    slid closer, and together we saw the video. Akin didn’t want to see it, so he remained in his chair. After


    the video ended, I let out a deep sigh of stress, not understanding what to do.


    “So? Is it really her?” He inquired in a soft, broken murmur. He sounded so concerned that we didn’t


    want to tell him the truth, but we have to.


    “It is her,” I said and walked away to look outside the window. It did not make any sense. She was not


    like that, but then again–it was her in the video, walking into the royal lockers and leaving.


    There was no one else with her, so she didn’t seem forced, either.


    “Did something happen between the two of you?” I asked again, and this time, I began to wonder if


    something bothered her about leaving.


    Akin shook his head.


    “There was nothing. It was all fine, but I guess my proposal was a no! Even if that were the case, she


    would have stayed behind to have a word with me.


    Why would she disappear just to have time? She could have left to be at herir,” Akin argued as he


    decided to make it clear that he wasn’t giving up anytime soon.


    We are conflicted now. What he was saying was true, but then we had the proof in front of us.


    “What if she didn’t want to return after hearing about Gwen giving birth?” It wasn’t any of us who said it.


    Shiloh had walked into the mansion with Jay and imed.
