Chapter 28: Chapter 28

28

"I heard that you went out to your room last night?" Wim asked me. We went down the stairs together. At last, they allowed me to go out.

I nodded at him. "I couldn't stop myself. The guards also left there so I just went out." I told him.

Wim told me earlier that Wrum was letting me out. He just didn’t tell me why and what the reason was.

"And it was good and I went out. I found out Don Guillermo was here." I said to him and I just saw that he was surprised by what I told him. Here, I will know if Don Guillermo is here.

We stopped down the stairs and his gaze turns to me. "How did you find out about that?" he couldn't believe it. "Did Wrum even tell you that?" he asked me again.

I just smiled at him. So it's true he's here. "He didn't tell me, but I just found out about it," I said and I continued downstairs. I saw Wrum just standing near the dining table.

It seemed like someone was talking to him on his cellphone and when he felt my presence he immediately put down his cellphone and immediately faced me.

"So it's true." I initially told him. He seemed confused as to what I wanted to convey to him. I am referring to his father if he didn't know.

"What are you talking about?" he confusedly asked me.

"That your father is here. Where is he?" I asked while looking around to the right just in case I saw him. I can only see Wim standing not far from us, Wrum and the rest are his people. I looked back and immediately looked at him.

"He's not here." he sparingly answered me. "Why are you looking for him? You want him to be with us?" he asked further.

I smiled at him. "Why are you still hiding that your father is here? You can't hide that from me anymore." I said. He just looks at me seriously.

"It's none of your business. You don't care if he's here," he says.

"What is he doing here? Does he also have a business trip here?" I asked him, like insulting him.

"Yes," he said and I just nodded even though I knew nothing.

"So, if he came here because of business, why did he have a hostage?" I asked him again that made him surprised by what I said. "And he still has plans to kill it?"

"How did you-"

"It doesn't matter now how I found out that Wrum. What matters now is that I find out who your father's hostage is." I said. "Tell me, who is your father's hostage?"

"Damn." he cursed in front of me. "I told you it's none of your business!" he just shouted at me.

I cleared my throat because he shouted at me. "Fine. It's none of my business." I told him. "Then I'll find a way to know it," I added.

I want to go somewhere, to find it out, but before I could do anything, he suddenly grabbed my hand and that made me faced him again.

"What?" I asked him. "I'm going back to my room."

"I didn't tell you to go back to your room," he said to me and he let go of my hand.

"Fine." I just told him and removed my hand from his grip on it.

He picked up his cellphone and looked at it slightly then he turned his gaze back to me. I don’t know what he will tell me. I'm just waiting for him to speak up.

"Do you need anything from me?"

"No. I'm not going to ask you to do anything," he said to me. "I just need you to come with me," he said.

Where are we going?

"Okay." Even if I didn't know where I am going right now.

"But Wrum, you know it's dangerous if we include Silic." I heard Wim protest from behind me. I don’t know why he objected and I don’t know why it was dangerous.

Is it really dangerous for Wrum to take me with him? Why? I can't understand Wim. Does Wrum have another enemy here excluding his father?

"I mean, why don't you just let Silic stay in the mansion. Since the mansion is guarded. And I think, the mansion is safe." Wim said to Wrum again.

I just looked around at the two of them. I can't understand what Wim's talking about.

"Shut your stupid mouth Wim." Wrum's rebuke. "I know what I'm saying." and Wrum.

"But-"

"Damn!" shouted Wrum. "I don't want her out of my sight. I know she's safe when she's with me," he said at once turning his gaze to me.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked the two of them. "What's dangerous? Why, is there an enemy around?" confusingly, I asked them.

"You don't have to know those things anymore." Wrum's answer was serious.

"Wrum is right. You don't have to know about that Silic. It's better if you just go upstairs to get dressed because Wrum and you have a walk right now." Wim said to me as if it was against his will. He seemed sad when he told me that.

What it could be?

I nodded to Wim and turned my gaze to Wrum. I wanted to make sure he agreed with Wim wanting me to go upstairs to get dressed. I saw it nod.

Even before I finally set foot on the second floor, I heard Wrum's voice rise. It seemed to resent what they were talking about Wim.

"She's mine. I don't want my father to touch her and his father!" I heard from here where I stand that made me more nervous.

Damn it. I sighed and continued walking until I could finally enter my room here in the mansion.

Don Guillermo might be the enemy they are facing, but the question is this. Who is their enemy? Could it be Don Guillermo? And who is Don Guillermo's hostage?
