The Heir Who Escaped

³³. I'll protect you

Hendrik arrived in front of the study and knocked on the door.

"Gibrans!" He said in a loud voice but there was no answer from within.

The man immediately opened the door and found the room empty.

Even when he checked the bathroom he didn't find anyone there.

"Damn..!!! Where's them?!" Hendrik watched the room closely.

"Jeez, Aden, why did Aden break in here?" Lina who was chasing after Hendrik also entered the room room but the woman stood in confusion as she found no one in the room.

"Auntie sure my friend got in here?" Hendrik asked Lina.

"I, yes Den, I'm sure. But why is it empty here?" Lina confused. Clearly with his own eyes he saw the great master entering the room with Gibran. But why now??

Lina's reply made Hendrik grit his teeth and the man looked back at the room.

'If they are not here then there must be another room hidden in this place like my mother said when I was a child. But where's the door?' with sweat filling his forehead Hendrik fumbled against the wall.

"What did Aden do?" Asked Lina who was confused with the man in front of her now pressed down on several bookshelves and display cabinets.

"There must be a secret room here, please Aunty help me find it." Hendrik said in a very worried voice because he was very worried about Alana.

She's innocent, and if anything happens to Alana she'll feel guilty for the rest of her life!

"Confidential room? Is there such a thing in this place?" Lina helped Hendrik, they both fumbled until Hendrix suddenly touched a strange display.

As he pushed the display a secret door opened startling the two there.

Hendrik immediately walked to the secret door and found his father was chuckling with a satisfied face looking at the photos he got.

While Alana, the woman tried to fix her clothes and wrapped her body with a blanket. Alana curled up in the corner of the room.

Hans just turned around to see Hendrik had already jumped at him and a powerful fist landed on the man's right cheek.

"Master!" Lina was trembling in place not knowing what to do.

2 Men were wrestling on the floor while a woman was trembling covering her body with a blanket.

What the hell's going on? Why is there a woman?

Where's Gibran?!!

Buk buk...!!!

With a fiery rage Hendrik beat his father mercilessly until when the man looked helpless Hendrik only remembered Alana.

The man stopped his punch and raised his face seeing Alana looking at him with eyes flooded with tears.

"Alana," Hendrik immediately stood up and approached the woman.

"Don't, don't touch me," Alana looked very frightened as she tried to keep retreating back so Hendrik wouldn't approach her.

"I'm not going to hurt you" said Hendrik, trying to be patient, he had no idea what his father had done to Alana, but seeing the frightened woman, Hendrik recalled the day his mother had left him for all eternity.

He was also very frightened!!

"No, I don't trust you.." Alana was like a frightened little puppy looking at a wolf about to pounce on her.

"Take care of me, I'll protect you.." Hendrik continues to persuade Alana until the man is unaware of Hans he left behind has now stood up and picked up a display statue.

"Young master..!!" Lina yells at Hendrik as Hans lifts the display statue to hit Hendrik on the head.
