Xander’s POV:

I found Angela standing in front of the CCTV room.

“this had better be good” I grumbled as she ushered me inside and shut the door.

I might be putting up a tough act but I was crushed and still in shock on the inside.

The room was empty. Except me, Angela and Hunter.

“we found footage of what’s been happening in the dungeons” she sat on a chair and began typing.

“Wait, why do we have cameras in the dungeons?” Hunter suddenly said.

“when Xander was still in his grim reaper phase, he asked dad to install hidden cameras everywhere in the castle except our rooms and including the dungeons” Yep and I’m glad I did because I’m not sure Paloma or Seth have enough strength to talk about everything that happened so I had to see for myself.

Angela loaded the videos of what had happened the past four days.

I had to force myself to watch everything without breaking the appliance.

A promise I’m not too sure I could keep but I had to keep cool.

I didn’t want to raise any suspicions by throwing a tantrum over a pet. If only people knew she is more than a pet.

I watched how she was thrown into the dungeons that first day and how scared she looked.

If there was a way for me to reach into the screen and protect her, I would.

But the bigger part of me knows what's done. I saw a woman walk in and my blood was boiling.

Layla was going to pay for everything that she did to June!

I was going to make her beg for death. She will be in agony for a very long time.

June asked a simple question and got slapped.

She was slapped because she wanted to know what was going on. It was talking everything in me not to punch the monitor.

I watched how they whipped her. How she begged and cried for them to stop.

How she asked for mercy but they didn’t pardon her until she passed out.

That was the end of day one.

I’m used to watching really violent things happen to people; hell, I did bad things to people who deserved it and not people who were innocent.

Day two; June was barely awake and Layla was already there with a smile on her face and guards were with her.

why?” Paloma said.

She had taken a blow for June and I admired her bravery but just that single blow left a mark on her back.

what the f*ck did you just say?” She roared.

Why are you doing this to her? To us! What has she done?

because she took him away from me. Xander and I were going to get married. He was mine and he loved me until this whore came along” Did I hear that right?
