Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 587 - Five Hundred And Eighty-seven: He Promised.

The third point of view:

Although Pedro and Julie's rescue brought some kind of relief to them, it still didn't mean they were not worried. They had no clue what was happening in the outside world.

The traitorous captain was beaten so badly he lost consciousness and was tied up and dumped in a corner of the room.

Everyone sat on the bench near their loved ones and lost in their thoughts. Their heart was pounding in their chest and their fear so great that a wraith would have its full (wraith is a creature that is usually, but not always, created by and feeding off of?negative emotions)

Although one could go out and check what's going on, they were smart enough not to be a burden to the others fighting for their survival - the person might turn out to be a distraction.

Suddenly, there was a deadening boom and everyone screamed as the walls shook. There was a sudden commotion as children cling to their mother's side while crying out loud, while couples hugged one another as two more explosions reverberated across the chapel. What was going on?

The queen was the most devastated. Having fought away the invaders, she knew what that was. A bomb. The palace was being bombed and she couldn't tell if it was from her son's side or the enemy's side.

Right now, she didn't care about the building, she wanted her son. Kai cannot die. And just like that, a tear flowed down her cheeks and she burst into tears.

"War erases history," that comment from Akim played in Isabella's mind as she watched the depressing mood.

She disagreed with Akim's statement. War doesn't destroy history, it creates one - that never leaves the mind. If they survived tonight, who would forget today so soon. It would forever remain in their mind and be told from generation to generation. Hence, war only destroys evidence of history, not history itself.

"Mom," Ailee asked her mother, "When will daddy return?"

"Soon," Reina replied, "Daddy will come back to us soon," Reina tried to be brave even though she was as scared as shit.

This was not a normal war nor was it familiar ground. She didn't need to be a war general to know Albert's people had more advantage here and that bomb blast scared her the most. What if... No, she refused to think that.

Everyone began to pray, both young and old, married or single, sick and well. Each one called up to the God they served, praying and asking for their protection over them and their loved ones.

It was quite a long time and most people had fallen asleep?- especially the children - since?everything quieted down. Right now, they have resigned to fate.

Suddenly, there came a thud on the door and those asleep were startled awake at once. The thuds continued and there arose a great murmuring across the people. What if that was the enemies? They were not ready yet to acknowledge reality.

So while everyone argued and murmured, Isabella stood up and made her way over to the door. Pedro was by her side when she peeped through the hole - for a moment, Isabella had this crazy?imagination that someone would fire a gun at her if she put her eye in there.

However, a smile suddenly crossed her lips and Isabella swung the door open at once. There,?at the door, stood Prince Kai.

No one said a word, some of them?frozen in shock at the sight of their prince. Was this really the prince?

Then Judy lifted his gun in a victorious cry and the others joined him immediately, their once depressed faces vanishing with no trace. They had won?

The prince had won! That brought a genuine happiness and?everyone began to jubilate, notwithstanding their status. This wasn't a time to criticize but to celebrate - the good news calls for one.

However, Reina was the only one who wasn't bothered with the celebration, all she needed was her husband. As if her thought was being read, all the fighters who survived the war walked into the room, one after the other.

There was a huge celebration as they reunited with their loved ones and some of them with their kids. However, amid that, there were some whose faces crumbled when they were told the bad news and that made Reina's heart quicken the most. Her chest clenched and it felt as if the air were not enough.

"Mother, where is our father?" Allen asked this time as he watched Eden unite with Anabelle and Camille; Emerald with Cecil and Pedro; Judy with Emily and Akim and the emotional queen.

"He will be here," Reina said even though she was scared inside. Her hand gripping her daughter's has tightened so much -as if she was drawing strength from her - that Ailee couldn't help but wince in pain.

"Mom, you're hurting me," She cried out, drawing her attention.

"I'm sorry," Reina withdrew her hand at once when she realized what she was doing, a guilty look on her face.

Ailee pouted while rubbing her red skin, her mother almost crushed her poor wrist.

At that moment, Reina's gaze connected with Judy's who pulled away from his family, attempting to come her way. But he didn't need to come at all because Reina got all the information she needed from his face.

"Oh God, no!" Reina didn't want to believe it. He promised to be back, he had promised her! Suddenly, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and Reina lost consciousness.

"Mom," Ailee screamed, drawing others attention while Allen and Neon instinctively cut her falling. Their mother was pregnant, they couldn't let anything happen to their future siblings.

Their mother was quite heavy - they noticed - but they cushioned her fall and togther, they all fell to the ground.

"Reina!"

Her fainting came as a shock to eveyone.
