Chapter 280 - Twisted Act

The Butler reached Wendy after she was taken back to the mansion. 

"Don't let her out again." The angry security said. 

The Butler carefully pulled Wendy who looked wasted and a mess. She doesn't have any make-up on and she looks entirely stressed and pale. He helped her back to her room. Then, carefully, he made her sit down and he scooped her face. 

"Do you want a bath?" 

She didn't answer. 

"I will prepare your bath then, Miss." 

He prepared her bath and put the essential oil on it. He checked the heat and then he approached her, took her purse, and put it down. Then, he took her to the bathroom. He shortly called for the maid to help her bathe. He then left and went downstairs to get her food. Giving her proper medication would make her realize what she did wrong. 

"Who's food is that?" The Chef asked. 

"It's for Miss Wendy." He answered. 

"Why are you taking my job away?" The fat chef asked annoyingly. 

"How long will it take for you to prepare her dinner?" 

The man glared at him but then, he took out the salad for Wendy and put it on the tray. 

"Give that to her." He said as the chef turned back. 

He went back to Wendy's room and set up the table. But Wendy only stared at the food. The Butler reached her hand and massaged it. 

"Miss Wendy, if you didn't eat, you won't have the energy to get Alessandro back." He said softly. It caught her attention as she looked up at him. "I will help you, but you have to help yourself. Okay?" 

"Really?" She asked with those hopeful eyes. 

"Of course," He carefully stroked her hair. "You need to eat slowly and take your meds." 

"I will. I will." She said as she reached the glass of water and sipped on it. She took the spoon and scooped the soup. 

He stayed with her until she had her medicine. He even takes her to the garden for a walk before she sleeps, after that he was told to bring snacks to Victor to the other wing. He gathers the snacks and energy drinks. Then, he went to the room of the guest. He knocked first, pressed the button on his bow tie. 

"It's Butler Jim, Sir." He squeezed the door open and entered. He stopped when the man was murmuring something. 

"Hannah Grace, Hannah Grace…" he kept it all over again. 

He put the snacks over the table and organized them. 

"Sir," he called as he peeked at his prosthetic leg that was entirely connected to his veins. "Sir." He called again. He approached him and tapped him. Victoria quickly turned his head to him. "Are you alright?" 

"Hannah Grace." He said it as he shook his head. 

"Hanna Grace?" he asked him. 

"My sister? Have you seen her?" He asked as he pulled out a photo from his pocket. He showed a little girl named Hannah Grace. "She's beautiful isn't she." 

"Yes," He agreed. They were told a while ago to make Wendy play Hannah Grace. "Hannah Grace is in the other room. Sleeping" 

This is her role now, that's why they sent him here. 

"I want to see her." He quickly stood. 

"She's asleep. But you can see her tomorrow." He said softly. "Why won't we clean up your bed so you can also sleep?" He suggested it to him. 

"No. I want to see her now." 

Somehow, Butler Jim doesn't know what to do. He looked at the camera as he received a message from his earpiece. 

"Let him see Hannah Grace." The operator said. 

"Alright, let's put your robe on, please." 

He took his robe and helped him put it on. He stood and the excitement in his eyes made him feel bad. He took her to Wendy's room and he told him to wait. He knocked and came in. Wendy was currently watching a movie. She probably woke up after a short nightmare. 

"Jim?" She called him. He approached her and held her hand. 

"Remember that you have to pay someone?" He whispered. 

She nodded her head and fixed her hair. 

"He wants to see you." 

"Okay," She nodded her head. 

Shortly, he put teddy bears around. It's part of the game. As Butler Jimmy walked toward the door, his anxiety rose, yet he still acted calm although his stomach turned from their twisted games. He opened the door as Victor's face beams. 

"Big bro," Wendy called and Victor sighed as he entered and smiled at Wendy. He stopped for a while as Wendy smiled, slipped off from bed, approached him, and hugged him. "You visited me." She said charmingly. 

"Hannah?" He called her. 

"Yes?" She looked up at him. 

"Why are you thin?" He asked. He reached her face and stared at her for a very long time. 

"I was just stressed, I'm sorry." She mumbled. 

Victor was so tall and he had to look down at her as she had to look up at him. 

"Let's have a seat." She pulled him to the sofa as Butler Jim stayed. 

"It's been so long since I last saw you." 

"You were in an accident," Wendy said and held his big rough hands. 

"Really?" 

"Yes," she answered. 

"What did I miss, little sis?" 

Wendy showed a sad face as she only smiled at him. 

"What? Tell me." He held her hand and scooped his face. "You have to tell me everything, Hannah." 

"There's this girl who stole my man." She inhaled hard. "It's been going on for so long and she threatened me. I don't want to go and kill her. It's probably because Alessandro would hate me." 

"Okay, why not find another one? I am sure that there will be someone else to protect and love you." He sighed. "You grew up so fast." 

"Brother, you've been sleeping for years now. You got into a big accident. But I'm glad that you are awake and with me now." 

"I'm glad too. They said that I was working with the Empire and they were helping me?" 

"Yes," She smiled. "They protected me and helped me find you." 

Somehow, he was puzzled at that time. He closed his eyes hard and reached his head. 

"Are you alright?" She asked as she reached his head. "Victor," 

"I'm fine. I think it's late. I want to stay with you more but it seems like the medicine is kicking in. I need more sleep." 

"Yes, you have to take care of yourself." 

Victor hugged her and kissed her forehead. 

"I love you, Hannah. Big brother will always love you." 

"I love you too." She smiled at him. Then, Victor stood and patted her. 

"Sleep well, okay?" 

She nodded at him as Victor approached the door. Butler Jim followed Victor and closed the door. 

"I'm fine. You don't have to escort me." Victor said as he held his head. He started walking but then Butler Jim followed him since he didn't look well. 

Still, he escorted him back and tucked him on the bed. 

"We are safe…" He whispered. "We are safe, right? Hannah is safe, right?" 

Butler Jim knew well that his role was to be that supportive Butler. But, right now, he will tell the truth that would be out of line. 

"Yes, Hannah Grace is safe, Mr. Victor. Please, rest well so you will regain energy. Would you like to have a walk with Hannah tomorrow?" 

"Yes. I want that. She's my only family." He whispered. "I will do everything for her." 

He tucked him in and turned off the lampshade to put it on a dim light. 

"Hannah Grace," he mumbled. 

Butler Jim suddenly felt bad toward the big man. But he had no choice. He waited until he fell asleep then he left and went to Wendy's room. She was rolling on the bed while changing the channel. 

"How long is he going to have his headache gone?" Wendy asked. "I want him to do his job on killing Keira del Carlo and probably the rest of her family." 

"It's not that easy, Miss Wendy." He took the remote control and turned it off. Then, he gave her medicine. "You have to sleep and have a walk with Victor tomorrow. Your job is to get his faith in you." 

"Fine." She drank the medicine and he checked if she swallowed it. Then, he tucked her in and waited for her to sleep. He turned off the lights and left her room. Finally, he made rounds and then checked again on Victor who was sleeping now. Then, he went to his room. Somehow, he's not sharing any room with anyone as he was given a special room because of Wendy. 

He removed his tie, went to his bag, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and took out the tablet. He put the SD card from his bowtie to the tablet as it was scanned and the footage was sent directly to the Rossie Empire. He also removed the earpiece and radio from his body. He made sure that it was turned off and placed it in the drawer. 

His phone popped up with a message. 

Empire: Report?

He connected the portable keyboard of the tablet as he started typing about his report. It didn't take long and then, he sent it. Shortly, his phone started ringing and he answered it. 

"Agent 101," A familiar voice called him as he bowed although he wasn't in front of the caller. 

"Your majesty." 

"I would like to know Victor's condition," Karmina said. 

"Yes, my Queen."
