Grey world

chapter 22.

       "Hope that the autumn wind blows away our sadness with it."

Kyler's POV.

After so many days I got a text from Bethany. She says that she's fine and she tells me she's in some sort of castle or something.
I know where she is but I cannot approach at Jaime's house like this. As the younger son he got everything he asked for. He asked dad to get him a house in this world and dad just listens to him without hesitation. Perks of being the younger child.

I know that Bethany is scared to death right now and I think I know what intention Jaime is having and the last thing Bethany needs right now is to be involved in Jaime's wicked games.

My head is spinning at the thought of Jaime hurting Bethany.
That bastard can do worse things to her which will only trigger her.

I call Bethany's mother to inform her that her daughter is safe.
That poor lady is worried sick and of coarse she informed the police about it. Her daughter's being gone for quite a long time.
But the police are useless and they'll never find out where Jaime is.

My only chance at saving Bethany is if I can get a hold of Lillian.

I call Lillian and she picks up at the second ring.
"Wow look who's calling me! Wassup little man??" Lillian asks.

"Listen Lillian I need your help getting inside Jaime's house and I need to find out what he's planning for Bethany." I tell.

"No can no baby boy. I can't help you and betray Jaime and afterall, I get paid here to pretend to be his maid and help that sick girl." She speaks.

"Seriously? You want to be on Jaime's side who have hurt you continuesly for the past 2 years!" I yelled at her.

"Okay fine I'll help you a little maybe. Listen tonight Jaime is taking Beth to a masquerade ball and he might do something awful to her when he gets her alone. It's not like I give a shit about that girl but she's a girl afterall and she needs your help Ky.
I'll send you the address of this ball." Lillian says.

"Thanks Lilly, and please take care of her. If anything happens to her, you'll be the one to blame." I keep the call and take a look at the location.

Masquerade ball. Hell no.

Bethany's POV.

After getting ready Jaime enters the room to tell me about some sort of masquerade ball. He brought a blue mask with him.
I'm wearing a navy blue gown which reaches my knees and of coarse I couldn't even see the beautiful blue colour. So I couldn't help but ask Jaime how blue colour is.
"Hmm... It's like the sky I'd say, but you can't even see the sky colour so yeah I can't explain you." And with that he left the room leaving me with my thoughts about blue.

Lillian did my hair into a bun and applied some makeup.
I actually looked pretty good eventho I haven't slept and eaten in days.

"You look stunning... Just like Cinderella." Jaime compliments as he hungrily gazes at me.

"Can we just get going?" I say sounding annoyed. But truth to be said, I was scared to be alone with Jaime. Who knows what he'll do.

Jaime was wearing a suite and his bow matches my dress, atleast that's what he said. He looked quite good and if he wasn't the bad guy here then I'd say he is looking handsome.

We get inside the Lamborghini he has rented only for tonight.
Me and him sat at the back seat and after sometime Jaime starts to take my hand in his.

"What the hell you doing?" I harshly whispered at Jaime.

"I'm holding my lady's hand! Can't I do that?" He asks with a smirk on his face.

Something about his looks doesn't seems good to me it's like as if he's plotting something bad for me.

We reach the masquerade ball which is taking place in huge castle like house. It's beautiful.

Jaime interlinks our hands forcefully because if we didn't look like couples then they wouldn't let us enter the ball.

I was secretly plotting to escape as soon as Jaime gets busy with his friends.

The place is beautiful. The ball is like some sort of Disney princess castle or something. Growing up I always hated Disney because of their unrealistic fairy tales which never happens in real life.
But now when i think about it, if I came to this ball with someone else rather then Jaime, I'd actually feel like a princess.

The waiters offer me a glass of cold wine. How can I say no to that? But the last thing I want is to get drunk and not able to escape from here.

As I keep wandering around the castle and thinking of an escape plan, my eyes fell at someone wearing a suite, a girl beside him and his hair is a bloody mess.

Wait is that Kyler?
