The Hospital

Jeremy spoke gently to the elderly woman in black.

"He'll be fine. Just exhaustion. He may be discharged tomorrow."

She nodded and entered Damien's ward.

Zebrew stood over him.

She poured water onto his face.

Damien gasped awake.

"Z-Zebrew?"

She smiled coldly, pressing a laced cloth over his mouth.

Minutes later, she wheeled his body out — sealed in a bag.

Later — Cliffside

Zanu ran, breathless.

"No… it can't be Aunt Zebrew."

She found Alex staring out at the city.

"Alex! Damien's been kidnapped — by Zebrew!"

Alex turned slowly. "Why should I believe you?"

Zanu snapped. "Do you know how lucky you are to have Damien? My father loses a year of life every hour he sits on that throne!"

She stormed off.

Alex clenched his fists. He murmured how dare she talks to the king like this?

Outskirts of Sumdem City

Humaira stumbled through the bushes.

"What path did Zanu say—?"

A hand grabbed her.

Jaiz smiled. "Humaira, right?"

She struggled. He taped her mouth shut and

threw her into his car trunk.

An Old Cabin

Humaira woke tied to a chair.

"The forest?" she whispered.

Jaiz entered, lighting a cigarette.

"Who sent you?" she demanded. You should

know your messing with the wrong person my

mother is the king's sister!

"Your mother was banished," he said calmly.

"You're not a true descendant." Mind the way

you speak to me

He shot her hand.

She screamed.

Prinna City — Cliffside

Zebrew circled Damien.

"I just want answers."

"Untie me," Damien growled.

She leaned close. "Your parents are alive."

Her words made him hesitate —

You should know Alex is coming for you, All of

you he won't rest till he gets his revenge

His words messing in her head giving him

long enough to break free and run.

Zebrew staggered back.

"Alex… Mauja's son… alive?"

Fear finally crept into her eyes.
