Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 188 Sudden



"Well, I have to get going, are you going to be okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine, thank you, and take care captain," she said as she stood up beside him, and he hugged her as she smiled.

"I will, Adora, take care of yourself, don't die," he said as he rose off of her, and she grinned.

"I won't, bye," she said.

"Bye," he replied, then left and she went back to the car.

"Well, thank you for your patience," she said as she went into the car.

"You are most welcome, where to next my lady?," the driver asked.

"Please take me to the arena," she replied.

"Got it," he said as he drove away, and Adora looked out the window, wondering why the guy in the cafe was staring at her that way if he hadn't recognized her.

'Damn it, they are making this so difficult, if they know what I look like now, it'll be better, one by one I'll end their miserable lives for them, they will regret becoming my enemy, I don't mind taking a dive down the bloody path in life, I was made this way by you people, now you are going to deal with it, you have destroyed a lot of things that I cared about and you are all going to pay,' she thought.

After a little they arrived at the arena and Adora went inside only to find out that Zack was not there and he went home.

"Can you take me back to the castle please?" she asked and the driver did exactly so.

"Why would he go home so suddenly? His family is not one to worry so much," she said, wondering what might have prompted Zack to go home and if it was the attack.

After arriving back at the castle, Adora went inside.

"I'm back," she said as she walked past the living room, where she saw Alix relaxing on the couch with his headphone on and his eyes closed, listening to loud music.

"Oh," she said as she approached him, and he grabbed her arm, drawing her close to him, and she smirked as he looked at her, then she removed his headphones from his ears.

"You are back," he said, then let go of her arm and she rose up.

"I am, go back to listening to your music," she replied.

"Adora, you are back," Ayden said as he and Sarah entered the living room.

"Yeah, I actually ran into the captain of the ship at the cafe I went to; he's leaving in two days; we won't be going to our next destination with the ship," she explained as the others entered the living room.

"Is he going on another tour?" Kyris inquired.

"Yeah, he enjoys being at sea, and he asked for my permission," she replied, and Kyris smiled.

"He genuinely cares and respects you," Alix said, and Adora smiled.

"He certainly does, and I am glad he is going on another tour," she replied.

"How is he doing?" Eliza inquired.

"Yeah, that old man is fine; also, I went by the arena and the guards told me that Zack won't be returning there for a while; he went home," she replied.

"Isn't that wonderful?" Kyllan inquired.

"Zack and his family get along fine," she said, "but it's strange."

"It's his family; I'm sure he will be fine; for now, we can all just enjoy another day off from training," Yan said, and the others smiled.

"I don't mind being a bit lazy right now, again," Alix said as Adora sat beside him and lowered her head.

"Are you still concerned?" Alix asked.

"No, I am fine," she replied, and he smiled slightly.

"Are you certain? You don't look like it, not that I am concerned; we just need to make sure," he said, and she chuckled.

"Too bad, thought you actually cared, but rest assured that I am absolutely fine, I am going to get a drink, it's almost lunch too," she replied as she got up, then went to the kitchen and took out a cold bottle of wine then poured herself a glass, sat down on one of the stools and drank it, peacefully.

"I wonder if he's okay," she said as she pulled out her phone and dialed his number.

"Hello," he said and she sighed.

"You are fine," she replied.

"I'm sorry, Adora, did you go to the arena?" he inquired.

"Yeah, I did," she admitted.

"Ah, well, I just came, my family and I had business to attend to, and there have been calls to the arena for your team members' phone numbers, which I gave to them, is that okay?" he inquired.

"When you get back, come see me; I'll kill you and finish the enemy's jobs for them," she replied.

"Huh? "Why would you do that?" he questioned.

"You got me worried, idiot, and you are working when you are injured, I feel like beating you myself, be careful, tell your parents I said hello too," she responded, and he smiled.

"I will tell them, I won't forget," he said, smiling. "I was going to call you, but it was too early and I really didn't want to bother you, sorry, don't be mad."

"I am not mad, just worried, probably because I know a little too much about how this all works," she explained. "Take care, I am glad you are safe, don't be careless Zack," she added.

"I promise I won't, you take care, Adora, see you soon, watch your back, don't be reckless, remember what you said," he said before hanging up, and she sighed in relief before finishing her wine and returning to the living room.

"Guys, I called, he is absolutely fine, he just went to handle his own family things, he said he was going to call but it was too early, you were right, I guess I worry a bit too much at times," Adora said, and Kyris smiled as he approached her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
