Chapter 163: She Is Gone!
"Stop the plane!" Evelyn urged again, and John rushed to follow her order. Luckily, the pilots were still preparing to take off and stopped at John’s request.
"I know I might be wrong too, but let’s stay until they bring her out of it. Please..." Evelyn requested, her heart aching badly. The building, the cell Gracia was locked in, screamed of danger, and she would only be at ease when they brought her out of that hell.
Zevian sighed out loud and nodded in response. Kiana beamed in excitement, clapping her hands happily. "Yay! We gonna see Grandma first!" she murmured, her voice filling the jet with hope.
Rita took out her phone and dialed Damien to inform him of Evelyn’s suspicion. She too hoped for it to be true, as everything would work out great. No one would be able to stop Sophia from paying back, and eventually, Evelyn would finally be able to live the happy life she deserved.
John escorted the trio out, with Rita quickly following behind. It took a few minutes for Damien’s men to rush back, dressed in all black. They were already on their way back, but Rita called them to return, confusing everyone.
"Take us back to the mansion. We will be staying until Gracia is out of the asylum," Rita informed them in Spanish, ensuring they prepared themselves to be around for a few more days. The head nodded and quickly took them out of the airport.
Damien and Ronan rose from their seats as Evelyn entered with Zevian. As much as they couldn’t come to terms with Evelyn’s delusions, somewhere, it felt like they might be true. Ronan noticed how Evelyn’s eyes burned with new hope, and he just hoped it wouldn’t get shattered again like this morning.
"Let’s go and talk in our study," Damien suggested, eyeing Rita to take care of the little girl.
"But I want to be a part of it too!" Kiana grumbled with a pout.
"You are too young for it, Kia," Damien replied sternly. "Grow up first, and we’ll think about it later," he added, making Kiana scowl deeper as she knew he was bluffing just like any other adult.
"Let’s go." Damien turned to the couple, and they followed him to the study, along with Ronan.
