Chapter 5 - But, It's not late now, is it?

The race began, and Eira was not in the mood to enjoy as her head started to spin and she fainted in the arms of the man sitting next to her.

Albert was paying attention to the race when Eira fell in his arms, she was beautiful, but this was not the time to admire her, as she had fainted, he panicked and picked her up in bridal style and led her to his car and drove towards the hospital.

.....

Eira's sleep was disturbed when she heard someone snoring. She opened her heavy eyes to see the white ceilings and the smell of chemicals. She felt dizzy and ill as she blinked. She rubbed her temples and frowned to see the strange friend of Ricky.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself. This man must have bought her to the hospital, as she had fainted due to the smell and horrible oily food, she had eaten. Her eyes darted towards the man who was laid down own the couch near her bed, he was snoring lightly, the couch was not big enough for him to spread his legs, so, he was sleeping like a baby hugging his legs.

She stood up and wrote a small note of gratitude and left the hospital without anyone noticing her.

........

Eira went to the hotel and packed her bags to leave the city.

The temperature in the white forest covered in frost was in negative. She walked in the forest, her every step leaving footprints on the snow-covered ground. The forest was quite as the grave. The only animals in the forest were poisonous snakes and birds, like eagle who were gazing intently at the passing stranger.

Eira stood and admired the small castle which stood in front of her. With her every step nearing the castle her emotions rose dramatically, she stopped her heavy step and looked at the iron gate, which opened to reveal an old man, butler of the Wilson family.

"Grandpa Du" she greeted the old man.

The old man was so stunned that he forgot to greet his master. He got back to his senses and bowed as a greeting and respect.

"Where is grandma?" she asked entering the castle.

Noting has changed in the castle, the same big stones which made the walls of the castle were carved with the same unique patterns and there hung the same oil paintings, showing the ancient kingdom of Wilsons on the wall, the same vases decorated the castle and same old furniture.

"Old madam Wilson has left for a world trip with her friends, young lord" the old man replied.

"Oh, she is throwing a tantrum, now" Eira frowned, her grandma, must have known about her arrival in the country.

"Alright, go ahead and inform her that, I bought some homecooked cake that too her favourite chocolate flavor" Eira ordered.

Butler Du, immediately called the madam and informed as directed.

After few minutes, the castle door opened and the cold air rushed in with a lady wearing a flower print dress, a hat on her head, her elegant and royal aura made Eira look up from the book she was reading. The lady's face had a light make up and the wrinkles on her face were barely visible. Her face broke into a frown as she looked at the young girl sitting on the couch like she owned the damn castle.

Eira shrugged at the cold glare which was directed at her from the grey eyes of the elegant lady.

"Grandma" Eira greeted with her sweet voice and a cute smile playing on her lips, her red puppy dog eyes melt the lady's heart the scowl on her face disappeared in an instant and was replaced with a wide grin.

The old lady hugged the young girl.

The duo chatted happily while eating the chocolate cake for a long time.

..........

Albert woke up to find the bed empty and a gratitude note stuck on his forehead. He ordered his subordinates to look for Eira, and there was still no news, like she was never admitted to the hospital. He had received a call from his friend, Ricky asking about their whereabouts and he explained the situation in the hospital and Dash who was with him explained that Eira was expert in disappearing.

Albert was amused to find out that none in his best team were able to get her location.

........

At the Wilsons mansion,

"So, that bitch started her own business in gaming industry, even though you tried your best to meddle in" the lady growled as her fist were clenched and her perfect manicured nails dug deep into her pale skin. On her beautiful face which was full of plastic, the corner of her lips narrowed and her eyes glared at her husband, her eyebrows came down together and she vented her anger by throwing the expensive vase on the expensive carpet.

"Seriously, where did the power you were gloating a minute ago go?" she mocked as she pulled her brown hair in her fist.

"Sara, I think she has got some connections while she was away" the man sighed as he gritted his teeth.

"Mom, it was your mistake, you should have killed her that night" Anna looked at her mother blaming her for her mistake.

"Yeah, I know, I should have sent the best assassins to kill her" the lady named Sara bobbed her head as she looked at her daughter.

"But it's not late now, is it?" Anna smiled showing her pearl white teeth.
