After some hours of sleeping, Evan finally woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a woman's figure sitting next to his bed. His sight was still blurred so he blinked repeatedly until it became clear.
"Daniella?" he murmured but the woman he saw next to him was the Queen of Galla.
The woman gave him a faint smile, her face bore exhaustion and sadness.
"It's me. Althea," she spoke in a low voice, "are you thirsty?"
Evan nodded his head. He was indeed thirsty. His friend didn't bother offering him water earlier and now they were both gone.
And so, Althea got up. She left and came back with a bottle of water and a few sliced fruits in the plate. She put the plate on the side table and moved the bottle close to Evan's lips.
She helped him elevate his head. After getting the taste of the water, Evan lay back.
"Thank you for buying me. I will surely pay you."
Evan nodded, "I appreciate your help as well. You don't need to pay me, technically it was Ken's money."
After saying that, a faint giggle sounded from the Queen's lips.
"You will be safe in my country. I will hide you as long as you need."
Evan refused the fruit she was offering but she still shoved it in his mouth, "you haven't eaten anything. I know it is hard but you need energy if you want to speak to her."
He froze upon realizing that she had a point. So, he accepted every small slice of fruit she gave and ate it slowly.
"What happened to you in there?" he asked eventually pertaining about the situation where she was locked up.
The Queen sighed and carefully put the plate down on the table next to the bottle of water. She grabbed a tissue and wiped the side of his lips.
"I went to your country to find my cousin Novie the true heir of Galla but then I got an information that they are here in Macao, that's why we met," she threw the tissue into the garbage can and sat back on her chair.
She crossed her legs while her arms lay on the armrest. Evan noticed how delicately she moved. Even her expression showed that she was a woman raised to become a queen.
"When I arrived, Jared men took me. Thankfully, they didn't touch me but Jared still had someone defile me," her voice broke down and tears glistened her eyes, "he wanted to find his family and claim the throne."
With pain, Evan clenched his fists. If Jared was capable of doing this to the Queen, how much more can he do to Daniella?
He wanted to get up and find him, beat him to death but he was badly injured that even breathing brought him pain.
He sighed and stared at the Queen. He saw the tears dropping from her eyes, so he grabbed a tissue enduring the pain and handed it to her.
The queen was dumbstruck but still accepted the tissue. Then she smiled and wiped her tears.
"My mom always said I should not shed tears in front of a gentleman," she giggled wiping her tears, "maybe we can forget about this?"
Evan nodded in response but his face remained serious and mind wandering about Daniella's safety.
After the Queen fed Evan, he fell back to sleep. She stared at his face and smiled absently. Then she stretched a hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead. She had heard about the woman she saw with him, seemed like that woman named Daniella was going to marry Jared.
She bit her lips and wondered about Evan's relationship with him. They seemed so intimate with each other.
She stayed in the room. Some of her trusted people had flown from Galla so they can protect her and they were standing outside of the room. She could have left and let her trusted people take care of Evan but there was a part of her who wanted to stay and look after him.
It was passed midnight and she was still in the room. She was starting to feel sleepy but her eyes were stubborn and wanted to keep staring at Evan.
When she saw him smiling in his sleep, she could not help but smile. She stretched a hand and was about to touch his lips when the door was pushed open.
The smell of vanilla lingered in the air. Althea looked back and saw Daniella by the door. Her eyes narrowed, there was something different about her, her hair was mixed white and red while her skin was dry and pale.
Daniella approached Althea with coldness on her face.
"Move away."
By that cold voice, Althea moved aside, giving way to Daniella.
She watched as Daniella injected a syringe in Evan's arm and then pulled it out and sat on the bed.
Daniella cupped Evan's cheek with her palms. A few beads of tear from her eyes fell on his cheek. She sniffed while staring at his beaten face.
Feeling his cheeks wet, Evan opened his eyes. His nose caught the familiar smell that made his lips smile.
He chuckled and emotion overwhelmed him, "you are here."
Daniella nodded, she bit her lips to stop herself from crying out loud.
"We can leave Daniella. Althea is going to help us."
Daniella nodded while her eyes continued shedding tears.
"I wish I could leave with you," her broken and low voice whispered those words. Before Evan could ask what she meant, her lips landed on his.
It was a light yet painful kiss, Evan shut his eyes and let her memory fill his mind.
Apart of him wanted to pull her away. It was ridiculous and impossible.
When she pulled away, Evan stared at her closed eyes. His eyes were also wet, unsure if it's from him or hers but all he knew was that she's going to leave and he won't see her anymore.
Meanwhile, Althea felt so awkward by the scene. She wanted to leave, her mind was urging her to leave but her body has turned statue standing and staring at them.
Seemed like they were special to each other just like she suspected. They were murmuring words she couldn't understand but a pang of pain rushed over her when she saw Evan in tears.
'How could a man shed tears for a woman?; she asked herself, especially if she was about to marry another man.
She gulped hard and turned around. As she took a step forward, a figure emerged from the hallway that shook her body.
"Jared!" she mumbled horrified. The man looked at her with despise lurking in his eyes while a smirk was on his lip and then he walked past her.
"Let's go, my dear bride. We have a cake tasting appointment."
Daniella got up biting her lips. Seemed like her tears had dried after burying her face on Evan's shoulder.
When she got up, Evan held her wrist, "don't go," he looked at her eyes and said, "please."
