CH 75: Being released
"Khalid!!!" Klaus roared and turned away from the window.
"What the f**k are you doing??!?"
"The next detonator I press would be for the three other bombs, Klaus" Khalid spoke icily.
"I want you to take Octavia, put her in a car and drive her straight to the entrance of my clan. And this time around, you don't have 12 hours, but 20 minutes. If you're one second late, I'll make you pay dearly. If she's back here and I notice a scratch on her, or notice you did something else to her, I'm still gonna
blow off the bombs. So, for your sake, you better pray she's safe - if you know how to pray".
"How dare you, Khalid?! How dare you? If you blow off the bombs, she's still gonna die!" Klaus grouse.
His eyes were filled with so much anger, so much rage.
"Yeah. But I'll be sure you'll be dead as well. Your legacy would burn in less than an hour, Klaus. It'd burn to dust. You have 19 minutes left". He answered and ended the call.

Mica was standing quietly in front of the window, not doing anything in particular.
Her head was heavy and couldn't even think of anything else.
In a few hours from now, her sister was going to be killed. She was going to be wasted.
Oh! If only she had known, if only she had foreseen such act, they wouldn't had left the building in the first place. Or when the men had attacked them by the roadside, she'd have fought harder. Why didn't she give it her best, huh? Why?
She shook her head painfully.
This was all their father's fault. If he hadn't been such a worthless father to sell his own daughter out in the first place, none of this would've happened.
Octavia prolly wouldn't be here and being in such a mess. It was just too dangerous for her.
Oh! How much she hated him and wished to punch him in the face If she ever gets a chance. She'd definitely do it without looking back.
She heaved a sigh and went on the bed to sit and just then, a knock came on the door.
"Who's it?" She asked, feeling so tired to move.
"Mica, open up" The thick masculine voice came and she quickly recognized it to be Draco's.
She stood up reluctantly and ambled to the door, guessing he was probably there to console her.
"Hey" she said sullenly when she opened the door and faced him.
Draco hesitated a little before speaking out:
"Your sister might be home soon".
All the sluggishness Mica felt in her body died down immediately as she gawped at him.
Wait... Whaat???
Her lips opened in shocked.
"Wh... What're you talking about? How?"
Her eyes were beaming.
Draco signalled her to let him in and without hesitation, she made way for him and they both went into the room.
"Khalid is using the only defense he has against the Klaus' clan to bring her back" Draco said but Mica was still confused.
"Defence? What defense?"
"We had some secret bombs planted around his clan and they were to be used only in emergencies. But Master Khalid is tryna use them to bring your sister back" he further explained and Mica's brows arched in surprise.
Hold on... Khalid was seriously bringing Octavia back?? With their only defense?
She blinked rapidly and went to the bed to sit, not exactly knowing what to think. It was unbelievable to her.
"This isn't good Mica. He shouldn't be doing this. And...I really don't know what his reasons are" Draco grouse and Mica shut him a stare.
To anyone, it' wouldn't feel right. But to
someone like her, she was Overly happy
because it was to her own favor. There was a high chance her sister would be back!
For God's sake!
Draco walked upto her and sat next to her on the bed.
"You're excited, right?" He asked and she looked at him and scoffed.
"Of course" she replied bluntly.

Octavia was almost shivering from cold.
Her hands and legs felt so cold, she could hardly breathe.
And considering the fact her hands were tied apart, it was impossible to bring them together and huddle herself up.
Shortly, she heard the door opening and quickly Iifted her eyes to see three men coming in - Master Klaus included.
Oh God! Was he finally here to kill her?
'Was he here to hurt her?!' she panicked helplessly.
Klaus was looking dangerously angry as he marched in with the boys.
"Untie her - quick!" He rasped and the boys rushed to Octavia and fred her of the ropes.
She watched them fearfully, wondering how bad they were gonna hurt her.
They stood her up when the ropes were off her skin and she bent her head in fear as Klaus walked closer to her.
He got hold of her hand and turned her left and right, making Octavia confused.
What's he doing?
"How did she get this scratch?" Klaus asked angrily when he spotted a big scratch on her arm.
It wasa little fresh and had some bloodstains on it.
"Must've been during the operation" one of the boys replied.
He fisted his hand and covered the scratch up with her shirt. Hopefully, Khalid wouldn't see it.
Octavia was really confused. What's going on?
Suddenly, he yanked her hair and pulled it a little hard - just a little, Octavia didn't even flinch.
"When you get there, tell Khalid it isn't over" he spoke between gritted teeth and released her hair.
Hold on... What??
Octavia gave him a muddled look.
What's he talking about? Tell Khalid?
Was she being released???
But... But how possible??
"Take her away immediately" he ordered the boys and they grabbed Octavia by the arm and led her out.
**
They took her out of the room, out to where lots of cars were parked and there, they made her sit on the backseat.
Octavia was filled with so much curiosity. She was being released!!!
But how?? Why??
That guy had told her she was abandoned, right? And was going to be killed. Or could it be possible he had been lying to her??
But Master Klaus looked so angry as well. So angry like he was being forced to release her.
Was Khalid behind this?
