The prisoner of Mr. Xie

Part 60 - Jakob Questions

Dor's!

"Davira run!"

Davira's eyelids immediately opened wide, revealing her beautiful neutrals. His heart felt pounding, he wiped the sweat that soaked his forehead and temples.

Davira stared at the ceiling of the room that looked dusty like it had never been cleaned, there were even a few cobwebs up there. Davira began to change his position to sit while adjusting his hunting breath.

The dream again haunted him, he could not forget the incident on the night where he had to lose his mother, father, and almost all members of his family.

The shadow and the voice of her mother's screams were even still clearly heard in her ears, she still remembered the face of her mother's last time.

Davira's hand moved to reach the bottle containing mineral water on the nightstand, the woman immediately opened the lid of the bottle that was still sealed and then drank it to wet her throat that felt dry.

Once felt enough, Davira tried to stand with legs that of course still hurt. Davira looked at his bandaged legs for a moment and then turned to the mirror, looking at several bruises on his body and face.

"What time is it?" he murmured curiously, but there was no visible wall clock or window so he could not see how the sky was, was it dark or still afternoon?

The room he occupied was like a holding room, very stuffy and uncomfortable. He thought the room at Jakob's headquarters was the worst, but there was still something worse.

But she was still grateful for getting good treatment, they were all treated, given food and clothing to replace their torn and very dirty clothes with blood.

Currently Davira wears the shorts of a woman who became one of the por*no film stars who work at this headquarters, and Davira wears a black t-shirt whether it belongs to anyone, who is not, the shirt was so big on Davira's body.

But it is better than Davira having to wear sexy clothes belonging to the women who also live in the headquarters. Davira felt that it would be dangerous if she dressed so openly in a time when her current surroundings were filled with men. After all Jakob would definitely ban him for being uncomfortable.

Davira came out of the room looking to the right and to the left, there was no one in the hall but her. All the doors of the room were sealed shut.

"Have they all slept?" inner wondering.

Davira slowly opened the door of the room occupied by Nathan and Paul, now he could see the man still lying with his eyes closed. Nathan is still unconscious to the point that the doctor in charge of treating him must spend the night at the headquarters in order to check on Nathan's condition periodically.

Davira glanced at Paul who seemed to be sleeping on the sofa, Davira picked up Paul's watch on the table and looked dirty with blood.

"Eleven o'clock in the evening it turned out," he muttered then putting the watch back into place.

Davira sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Nathan's pale face. Davira let out a long sigh and then brought her face closer to Nathan.

"You have to open your eyes, there are many things you have to prove to me" Davira half-whispered.

His hand began to rub Nathan's jaw firmly, Davira could not properly describe his feelings at this moment. She is very confused, Davira is afraid that Damian is really the culprit, but she is also afraid that Nathan is just lying to her.

After a few minutes of staring at Nathan's face, Davira immediately moved from her seat.

"Why don't you sleep, miss?"

Davira was surprised, he turned to the origin of the voice.

"You awake?" Davira looked at Paul who was sitting down.

"I woke up, and I just wanted to see how Nathan was doing. Turns out he's still unconscious, is he gonna be okay?" davira asked and opened the door to the room.

"Master will be fine, Miss should calm down, don't worry too much" replied Paul who only Davira responded with a nod.

Davira immediately came out of Nathan's room, he again gasped because in front of him already Liam and Luca made him almost scream.

Liam immediately gave Davira a cue to remain silent, Davira nodded in understanding then followed Liam and Luca's footsteps who invited her to enter Jakob's room.

There Jakob, Mario, Dex and Fedrix were gathered, all of them immediately staring at his arrival.

"We're looking for you in your room, but you're not there. What are you doing in Jonathan's room?" luca asked in a voice that was quite quiet, perhaps so that others would not hear it.

"I just want to see how things are going" Davira sat down to join the others.

"You forgot? Shouldn't you talk about your plan to us?"

Davira clucked, "I almost forgot, Liam."

"So what do you have, Davira?" Jakob looked at him as if he was already so curious.

"It's just a backup plan I'd use if Nathan turned out to be cheating on me, if only Nathan's words about Damian were a lie so he could get back to me and so I'd be willing to go back to him. This plan should involve you in it, do you want to help me?"

"Depends, Miss. Tell me first what your plan is" Fedrix said, sipping a cigarette.

"Perhaps after waking up and getting a little healthy, Nathan will take me to the Dominican Republic. I mean not maybe, but definitely."

"What's he taking you there for?"

"To see the evidence, Mario. Evidence that Damian was the culprit, because Paul said that the evidence was in the form of people and videos and goods."

Dex frowned, "Why go there? Jonathan can't bring that evidence in front of you? Why did you have to go to the evidence?"

"Paul said that the evidence was deliberately hidden there."

"Anybody would steal all the evidence he collected? Besides, if Damian did the massacre, he and his family have been killed by Jonathan, right? So no one would have foiled Jonathan's plan to expose all that evidence to you."

"Come, Jakob. But it looks like Nathan just wants to secure the evidence he has, you know for yourself that Nathan has a lot of enemies."

"But this doesn't feel right, what if it turns out that it's just Jonathan's wits? He just wants to kidnap you and get you back to being his prisoner."

"I have the same thoughts as Liam" Jakob said, giving Davira a deep sigh.

"Then I need your help, please follow me wherever I go with Nathan. Take me to the Dominican Republic, I want you to get me out of Nathan if it turns out he's just tricking me."

"I will help you" Jakob said without a second thought.

"How is it? Care must be very strict, after all we're only six, sir."

"There will be many ways, I can't let Davira go back to being Jonathan's captive and tricked by the man."

"I can't either, I'll keep following you, Davira. I hope Jonathan doesn't intend to kill you" Luca said, making Davira smile.

"I agree with your plan, Davira. We'd definitely help you if Nathan tricked you about the crimes of your former husband-to-be."

"I'm glad to hear that, thank you for protecting me. Though we all just got to know each other," Davira smiled, she was delighted to have gotten to know Jakob and all the people in this room.

They all seemed so sincere and actually thought of him as a part of them.

"Look easy, Davira. Don't say thank you" Mario patted Davira's shoulder gently.

"I have one question, Davira. I hope you already have the answer," Jakob's face looked so serious that it made everyone feel anxious.

"What do you want to ask, Jakob?" Davira returned Jakob's gaze with a raging feeling, she was afraid that if Jakob changed his mind.

"If Jonathan hadn't lied to you, if everything he said was the truth, and if Damian was really the mastermind behind the massacre. Are you going back with him? Will you no longer run away from him?" Jakob placed both of his linked hands on the table.

"I want to know what your decision is, we've talked about it and made a plan in case Jonathan cheated you. So I want us to also talk about what steps you would take if everything Jonathan said was the truth. Because if Damian really did the massacre, then Jonathan would have been an angel to you. He took the life of the man who hurt you and made you almost lose your whole family. In short, Jonathan committed a massacre on your wedding day solely to save you from Damian's charade and his family."

Davira was stunned in place with an eye bead that could not be separated from Jakob's dark brown netra. He listened to every word that came out of Jakob's mouth, and everything that the man said was true.

"Now say, Davira. If Jonathan could really prove his point, would you stay with him? Or come back to us? Escape from Jonathan who does have an obsession to be able to get you?"

All who were there were just silent as they stared at Jakob and Davira, no one opened their voices. Because they all want to know what decision Davira will take.
