?Chapter 129:


    Dominic’s POV:


    As I started ascending the stairs, Jessica and the others quickly moved to block my path.


    Jessica stood in front of me, her smile strained and uneasy. “Your Highness, where are you going? Don’t you want to join us for a meal?”


    “Move aside!” I snapped, pushing her away with disgust. I moved past them, my stride unwavering as I made my way to the second floor.


    Something deep in my gut told me that something was terribly wrong.


    Frank, trailing closely behind, looked panicked. “Your Highness, it might just be something that fell. I can have someone take care of it immediately.”


    Jessica nodded in agreement. “Yes, it’s nothing important. We’ll handle it.”


    Even Makenna’s father spoke up. “Yes, Your Highness. You’re still looking for Makenna, right? She went back to the pce. If you’re not staying for dinner, you should return to her. You wouldn’t want to miss her again, would you?”


    Their words made me hesitate.


    Could it be true? Had Makenna really gone back? Just as I was about to turn, a faint scream echoed from the far end of the corridor.


    The voice was hauntingly familiar.


    It was Makenna!


    My expression darkened. Ignoring their pleas, I stormed down the second-floor corridor.

    With each step, the voice grew louder and more distinct. By the time I reached the final door, the sounds of cursing and crying were unmistakable.


    Frank faltered, stepping back slightly, but his bravado remained. “I’m from the Harrison family! What do you think you can do to me?”
