Adia ran along the empty and quiet corridors, as fast as her legs could carry her, heading for Sebastian room, she barged into the room without knocking and was glad to see Sebastian standing at the window side, with a cigarette dangling between his hands.
“Sebastian..” she called in relief, closing the door behind her.
“You have to help me..” she said in panic.
“Logan..”
“I know..” Sebastian interrupted as Adia stared at him in confusion.
“Know what?” She queried,
“That Kate is dead and Logan is going to be executed by the elders of britaris” he informed, holding a calm facade.
“How did you find out about that?”
“Did you think I’ll just allow someone go into your room, I knew the moment he stepped into the premises of your room, I decided not to interrupt and see why he decided to come here, so I listened to your conversation..” he spoke out loud to Adia’s relief, thank goodness, there’s no need for explanation.
“We can’t let him die Seb..” she said in a whisper,
“There’s nothing you can do about it..” he said softly,
“There has to be something, like evidence, you just tell the elders who Kate really is, all that was just an act of self defense, Kate almost murdered me and tried to terminate my pregnancy.. please think of something..” she begged, there must be something they can do to help.
“The deed has been done Adia..” came his usual calm reply,
“Do you’re just going to let your brother die..” she scoffed in disbelief,
“Look at how calm you are, you don’t even care, when he did all that just to save me and my pregnancy, because we all know that Kate will never stop till i’m dead, now he has killed her mad has to be killed just because of me, something has to be done, please Seb, please..” she held him by his arms pleading,
“So what do you want to do?” He questioned,
“Anything, I know you can think of something..”
” Logan must already be on his way to Britaris ” he informed,
“So we can still save him, it’s not as if he’s going to be executed yet”
“Please say yes Seb, we have to look for a way out of this” she kept on pleading as Sebastian’s jaw worked, he placed the cigarette on a tray as he spoke.
” Pack up, we’re leaving for britaris, first thing tomorrow..” he announced to Adia, who found herself smiling widely.
“Really!!” She exclaimed happily, hugging Sebastian from the back, as she wrapped her hands around his waist.
“Thank you” she appreciated Sebastian, who just kept looking outside the window.
“You have some rest now, the maids will help you pack up tomorrow..” he voiced out,
“Ok, what..?”
“It’s late Adia” he interrupted,
“No more questions, we can talk tomorrow..”
“You can sleep here” he informed pointing at his bed, there’s no need for her going to her room anymore, she can crash here for the night.
“Ok,” Adia muttered, walking up to the bed, as she climbed on it, covering herself up with the duvet cover, there’s no need in speaking to him anymore, he’s clearly not in the mood.

Adia climbed down the stairs alongside Sebastian, as their maids trolled their baggage behind them; they’re currently embarking on a trip to britaris.
“Good morning sister in law…” Ace waved at Adia immediately she finished climbing down the stairs.
“Good morning..” Adia replied, flashing a smile at him.
“Good morning Adia..” Monica muttered from a few meters away from them.
“Monica..” Adia called softly, walking up to her.
“I was so heartbroken when I heard you were traveling to britaris..” Monica broke out, immediately Adia got to where she was.
“I was worried that I was not going to see you, before you leave.. I’m sorry Adia..” she apologized sadly,
“I shouldn’t have…”
“Shhhh” Adia cut her off, holding her shoulders
“Right now, I don’t want to think about that..” she said referring to her death, she wants to put that behind her, at least for now
“I love, but I’m gonna miss you” Monica uttered in sadness, what’s this house without Adia’s presence.
“No you won’t, because you’ll be coming with me..” Adia announced with a bright smile on her face.
“Really!!” Monica squealed, she doesn’t remedy what britaris looks like, she’s so delighted to be finally meeting her mother.
“Yes, you don’t really think I’ll leave you behind, so go pack up, we will leave soon..” Adia informed Monica ran off happily.
“Monica’s coming with you..” she whispered to Sebastian’s ears, walking to where he is, as he only nodded slowly in approval.
“So when are we leaving?” Ace asked, breaking their awkward moment.
“We..” Adia murmured as her brows furrowed.
“Yes we, I’m going to, immediately my mother heard Sebastian was bringing you over, she requested that all her son’s come too, so here we are….” He informed Adia.
“Thank you Adia, so much..” someone said from upstairs with pure sarcasm, as Adia’s eyes traveled to meet Arion’s, he’s trying to piss her off again, so she just decided to ignore him.
“You’re welcome..” she flashed a smile at him, with a sneer, rolling her eyes, she clutched Sebastian’s hands, before Arion would come for her.
“She’s coming too?” Ace exclaimed, pointing at Monica who just arrived with her box.
“Yes..” Adia responded,Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Well I thought this was strictly a family trip..” he said.
“Well she’s family, so take it or leave it..” she snapped at Ace, who raised his hands up in surrender.
“Let’s go..” Sebastian spoke out for the first time, moving his legs, heading outside with Adia and his hands entwined together.
“I informed Evans earlier about our trip, so he can take care of your little sister..” Sebastian whispered to Adia’s ears, as she nodded, slowly, thank Goodness Cora’s there to cater for Addison, she’ll have to call Cora later, at least to talk to her.
“So how do we go to britaris?” Adia questioned, since she’s never heard of that place before.
“We’re flying there..” Sebastian responded and almost immediately they reached outside of the house.
“How?”
“We’re flying a helicopter,” he replied, pointing in a direction, as Adia’s eyes met with an Helicopter, oh geez she’s never seen one before.
“What about the pilot, I don’t see one around?”
“I’ll be flying it..” came Sebastian’s curt reply as Adia stilled.
