My Prince Of Edinburgh's

Chapter 52. Hang in.

"Where's Portia?" Nicholas, who has just entered the Johanssen mansion, meets Alexandra. The girl appeared from behind the door of her room.

"Well, what a serious look on your face, Nic?" the blond girl. "Looks like there's a big problem" he said.

"Shut up! I'll make the calculations with you later!" show Nicholas in front of his sister's face. Then, he passed from the presence of Alexandra and sought the whereabouts of the mother. He meets Marry and the middle-aged woman says Portia is in his room.

And yes, the mother was struggling with a laptop and a stack of files on her desk. Seeing the arrival of Nicholas, the woman commented on his smile.

"Ah, Nicholas ... you're finally back" said Portia.

"Where is Dara?" ask Nicholas without further ado.

"Who's men?" Portia frowned.

"No need to pretend, Mama."

"Hey, I don't understand what you're talking about, son."

"Mama!" nicholas Sentak. "I know you're hiding Dara. Where is he now?"

"Nicholas .. I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Where is Dara, Mama?" urged Nicholas. He was very sure Portia had done something to Dara. It was impossible that the woman would tell the truth.

"Well," said Portia while commenting on her smile again. "I can't give you the information you need because I don't know."

Nicholas growled. It felt like home alone forced the woman to tell the truth. Clearly, he just wanted to make sure that he knew what the mother was doing.

"If anything happens to Dara, I will never forgive you!" threatening Nicholas makes Portia gasp. Then, he could only watch as the son passed from his room.

Nicholas meets Alexandra again in the living room. His eyes were fixed on his brother. "If you're involved in hurting Dara, I'll never forgive you!" point it at the blue-eyed girl.

Alexandra raised both hands pretending to surrender. While Nicholas walked away with his eyes still staring intently at the older brother.

Nicholas closed the car door hard. Before leaving the courtyard of the mansion, the phone in his pants pocket shook. Thomas' name is on the screen. Previously, the first sister expressed her idea to track down Dara's phone. He has the acquaintance of a private detective.

"Oh, s hit!" That's all that came out of Nicholas' mouth when he finished talking to Thomas on the phone.

He rushes the car out of the courtyard of the mansion, heading to the place informed by Thomas, where his acquaintance detective finds Dara's cell phone by the roadside. Correct guess. Something's not right. Dara must be in danger.

"There is a suspicious house not far from here" said the detective, a man with a thin mustache. He looks like he's the same age as Thomas.

"We're going there" said Nicholas quickly. His chest was pounding. He could not imagine if something happened to his future wife.

"We need to ask the police for help." The detective restrains Nicholas' arm, who is about to step into his car parked on the side of a deserted highway.

Thomas shakes. "Police won't respond."

The detective certainly understood Thomas's intentions. "So?"

"Three of us go there" Thomas replied, patting Nicholas on the shoulder to calm the brother down.

"It was my job to just get close to you and make your relationship with the prince broken." Braden. He sat in front of Dara leaning over and resting his arms on both thighs. While Alison sat on the right, twirling the gun in her hand. He seems to like that a lot.

"But, it looks like the prince is really in love with you. So, my mission turned into ...."

"Truck me?" cut Dara while chuckling. His head could not think clearly. Thirst and fatigue that did not go untreated made the girl resigned.

Braden and Alison throw one another a glance. Then, the young man looked back at Dara. "Yes, that's it."

"Yes, kill me now" challenged Dara. He's desperate. Nicholas couldn't have found it. Moreover, it was possible that the young man thought he was running away with Braden.

"You're waiting for orders. Take it easy, we'll take it down." Who said Alison. Really, Dara felt that the girl was the incarnation of a demon right now. This is his real face.

A few moments later, Braden's phone shook. He stood up and walked slowly around Dara while talking to someone who called him. "Now, Madam?" tanyakanya.

"Okay, Madam." Braden hung up. Her lips put on a slanted smile. Then he approached Alison and asked for a gun in the girl's hand.

Dara closed her eyes. Tonight his life will end. All the memories of childhood, adolescence and the moments he spent in Edinburgh were like collages that filled his head. And Nicholas. Just now he opened his heart to the young man and made up his mind to live together with him, however, he had to leave this world.

"I'm sorry, Dara." Braden pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Brakes

Along with the bullet that managed to penetrate Dara's body, the door of the room collapsed. Three men enter. One of them was holding a gun. It happened so fast. Mutual firefights ensued and ended with Braden sprawled by Alison's screams.

"Become! Holy jeez!" Nicholas slid towards Dara who was drowning in a chair with a chest covered in blood. However, when he saw Braden, his anger was overflowing.

"Breng sek! How dare you hurt Dara. I killed you, Baji ngan!" He beat up the young man who had been lying on the floor mercilessly, so Thomas intervened to do so. It took a long time for the man to pull the brother who was being overwhelmed with anger.

"Take Dara to the hospital. Let me and Greg take care of these two people" Thomas said.

Nicholas awakens from the anger that overwhelms him and soon unbinds Dara's body. After that, he took the girl out of the house. The car door opened in a hurry and sat Dara in the passenger seat.

"Nic ...," said Dara Lirih.

"Hey, Honey. Nothing will happen to you. I'll take you to the hospital" Nicholas said as he clasped Dara's hand tightly. "Please hold on, Dara" he said in frustration.

"Don't go, Dara. I beg. Hold on for me."

"Become, talk to me. Don'tgo. I beg ...."

"Because, hang on."

Dara smiled. In her blurred eyes, she saw Nicholas panicking. He wanted to apologize to the young man for thinking too long about accepting his love. If he had a longer life in the world, he promised to open his heart wide to receive the love of Nicholas.

But he was no longer able to open his eyes.
