Once Upon A Royal Love

Chapter 72

Alexandra's POV

"If you guys aren't at the house, where are y'all?", I asked Sophie as I was on the phone wit her, as I was on my way headed back to the house from the doctors appointment.

"Chuck & Luke took all of us out to go site seeing, let's just say we got carried away", she said.

"What about Mike and Matt?", I asked.
"I think Shopping with Bethany", she said.

"Oh okay", I say.
"And I think William went out for a ride", she explained.

"Oh— cool", I say.
"So about you and him? Are you— I cut her off, "I don't know what William and I are right now, or what we could be. All I know is in hungry and I'm gonna have to call you back when I get inside", I say noticing we were pulling into the driveway.

I looked outside the black tinted window noticing a unfamiliar car parked weirdly up against the sidewalk.

"Someone was in a rush", I say.
"Stay in the car", the serious tone of Austin told me, before getting out the limo, and pulling out his hand gun.

Grabbing my full attention, I sat up in my seat, watching as he slowly closed the door. What the hell was going on?

I moved my way to the driver window, knocking on it. The window slowly rolled down.

"Andrew, what's going on?", I asked him after looking at him turning my full attention to the front door that looked broken into.

Glass from the door was all over the floor.
I swallowed hard.

"I don't know. But it's better for your safety if you remain in the car, okay?", he tells me before getting out the car himself.

I watch as he closed the door.
My stomach twisted in knots, I knew something was off.

What was going on.
I watched him he slowly and cautiously entered the house.

Moments later my phone began vibrating, I pulled it out my purse, noticing the caller ID was William.

I rolled my eyes, deciding if I should pick it up or not. Fuck it.

I love him and I knew I wanted him.
I answered it causally.

"hi", I say awkwardly killing the causally vibe.
"Alexandra? Where are you? Are you okay?", he asked sounding like his voice was in a panic.

"I'm fine. Why?", I asked him with confusion in my voice.

"Where are you?", he asked ignoring my question but expecting me to answer his.

"I'm in the limo. Why?", I asked.
"Where's Austin?", he asked.

"In the house. What the hell is going on?", I asked.

"It's Keith. I just got a call from the England maximum prison, Kieth escaped. He might be inside the house", he said sending chills up and down my entire body.

My breathing increased. "What?", I asked trying to process.

"Listen to me. Stay in the car. Don't go inside the house.", William told me.

"I thought you said he was handled. That him and your mother were handled?", I asked him.

"They were. Th-they're supposed to be. I don't know what happened", he said.

My eyes quickly looked around the car, looking for any signs that Keith could be the one inside that house.

My eyes immediately was glued the unfamiliar abandoned car we just drove past.

"Shit", I say.
"What? What is it?", he asked.
"There's a car. I-I think that's how Keith got here", I say.

"I've called the police. They're on their way. I'm on my way, okay. Just don't leave the limo", he told me.

"Austin— Andrew.. they're inside", I said with fear in my voice.

"Alexandra, it's not safe", he told me.
But I failed to listen.
I'm so stubborn.

"What if something happens to them— William, I have to make this stop. If I don't— he'll come back again", I say.

"Alexandra, do you hear me? Don't you dare go into that house!", he told him.

"I can't just— not do something. I have to help them", I say.

"Please for once. Just listen to me", William said sounding like he was begging me.

"Your not listening, i— I was cut off by the sound of a gun shot firing.

There was a silence.
A very long silence.

"Alexandra?", William shout through the phone, I guess he thought I was near the gun shot or I was hurt or something.

"What's happening?", he asked through the phone as suddenly a figure slowly walked out from the house, looking around.

I could tell you myself that wasn't Keith.

"Will? I don't think Keith's the one who broke into the house", I whispered.

"What do you mean?", he asked.
I was about to answer when the masked man began walking towards the limo.

I quickly rushed towards the door to go lock it, and there wasn't a lock. There wasn't a lock on the door. Who the fuck— what type of limo doesn't have locks on the door.

I began away from the door, leaning against the other one.

"Alexandra? What's going on? Talk to me!", he said.

I began breathing heavily, noticing the man was no longer there.

"I-i don't know. H-he's gone", I say.
"Gone. Whose gone?", Will asked with confusion.

Before I could respond, the door I was leaning on was swung open, causing me to almost fall out the limo.

I screamed dropping the phone, crawling towards the opposite side of the limo.

The sound of William's voice through the phone echoed. The man grabbed the phone, "Alexandra, can't come to the phone right now", he said before smashing it into the ground.

I quickly opened the door, getting out the limo, about to take off when the male figure stood there.

I quickly backed away from him turning the other direction, I rushed into the house to notice both Austin and Andrew laid out on the ground.

I covered my mouth in shock.
I couldn't tell if they were dead or unconscious.

"Nice for you to finally join us", the voice from behind me said.

I turned around slowly backing up further into the house.

"Who the hell are you?", I asked the masked man.

"Oh, come on. You don't remember me?", he asked before taking off the mask.

It wasn't Keith.
I wish it was Keith.
But it wasn't unfortunately.

"Liam?", I asked with confusion.
Why would he do all this?

"Hello, love. We should talk", he smirked before closing the already broken door.
