Chapter 696 - Ruby in the Egg Part 1

Rhys followed her mother's car back to their house. Then, he helped his baby sister upstairs to her room. She's been discharged and she felt very lethargic and once that she entered her room, she ran to the bathroom and started vomiting. Concussion.

"Baby sis, do you need anything? Anything at all?" Rhys asked as she vomits inside. His mother and entered and helped her by gathering her hair and rubbing her back. "I'm going to [email protected] kill those [email protected]," Rhys mumbled.

Casey went to the sink and wash her mouth with the mouth wash. Freya turned to Rhys.

"There's no human being in there," Freya said. "It's full of armors, robotic and it's operated from far."

"Say, what?"

"There's no human there. It's just armored and I think that hacker set it up there for a very long time, waiting for the target. They put a chip on that bus and make the other bus unable to operate. Since the bus that they take has been long in the keep safe. They have no choice but to use it."

"Oh, but we send cars instead…"

"We can't take the cars because we also found ch.i.p.s on it," Freya said. "When we find out that the bus has been taken from the garage, we already know that something is up. Someone put a chip in that truck so that the machine waiting there could detect the chip and destroy it."

Freya helped Casey when she's done. She escorted her daughter to bed. 

"Ask your dad to prepare Casey's meal."

"Okay." Rhys left and went downstairs. He reached for his phone and called Raiden. He answered after a few rings.

"Ey, what's up?" He sounded like he just gets up.

"Well, our sister and others have been ambushed. They are injured but not that fatal."

"What?" Raiden exclaimed and he sounded fully awake from the other line.

"Yeah. But don't worry. Do a good job there. I won't bother."

"Damn."

"What is it, honey?" 

Rhys covered his mouth. Raiden is with someone and sleeping with her.

"My brother," Raiden said. "Go back to sleep, darling. I'll be with you."

"Sounds like you are with someone?" Rhys asked. He heard clasps and then Raiden probably left the bed to get privacy.

"Yeah, she's an amazing person. She's an artist… so…" Raiden sighed. "Well, tell me!"

Rhys explained to him everything about what happened.

Zendaya stared at the Easter Egg and then, she removed it from her neck. She started trying to pull things and click things. There's this odd alignment of gems so she twisted it and then it moved. She twists it again and again until it made a clicking sound and it opened.

Zendaya gaped as a ring is tucked in there perfectly that the Easter Egg molded it. There's this round ruby with two little diamonds at each side. She lifted it as lights reflected the ruby and diamonds. She put it on her ring finger and it fits perfectly.

"Tim," Zendaya tried hard not to cry. She came out of her room and Aria looked up at her.

"Oh, you found it," Aria said when she eyed the Easter egg in a half. "Nice ring."

"Aria, what do you know?"

"Well, Tim set up something and I can't tell you that. The most important thing is Timothy. He is held captive in his family's Château." 

"We'll go there right now."

"Great." Aria stood. "Get your suit on."

"I don't need to."

Zendaya is wearing a red dress with a pendant of the Dragon Empire. Then, she's also wearing a high-heels that Timothy gave to her.

"Yeah, we'll just go there."

Zendaya put back the Easter Egg and then wear it. They left the hotel and their car is waiting outside with black cars. There are also escorts. The people on a motorbike stopped a few cars as they left Paris to the Château of De la Fontaine.

"Zen, please, don't try to get killed or kill anyone," Aria said. "Calm yourself."

Timothy stayed in the bed and staring at the glass window. He doesn't eat or drink. He just stayed there while thinking of a plan to go back to Zendaya. But he's sure that Zendaya will rescue him. It's just very odd that his Queen is going to rescue him not the other way around.

The door opened and he didn't even glance. Then, it closes.

"I'm sorry."

He slowly turned to hear that familiar sound.

"Emma,"

"I'm sorry for everything. The mess and five years ago when my friend drugged you. I was just forced to do that. I have no choice."

"Who force you?"

"Your Papa and my Papa planned it. So, Zendaya will leave you. And you'll get back here eventually. The company needs you. That's why your Papa is very eager to get you back."

Timothy sighed like he's been grieving.

"Zendaya will never leave me even though you and your friend set me up. She will kill both of you or me." He chuckled and stared at nowhere.

"I don't want to get married to you," Emma said. "I already love someone else and, my dad is desperate to have my family business joined to yours. So, they are trying to get it all back in the top."

"It'll be chaos, Emma," Tim said. "Even though Zendaya wouldn't come here to save me, I'll keep trying until I get back to her."

"I'm sorry, Tim."

"I understand." Timothy exhaled.

He stopped when he heard commotion downstairs. His parents are talking and then from the outside, there is a red and blue light.

"There are lots of cars out there. That must be her!" Timothy stood and went to the window or the balcony and tried to open it.

From afar, Timothy's heart felt like it's been on race when he saw a familiar figure from the gate.

"Zendaya!" He screamed.

"She can't hear you unless you open that." Emma exhaled. Sometimes, Timothy is dumb.

"You have a key?"

Emma shook her head.

"Oh, forget it!"

Timothy took the heavy chair and started breaking the glass window.

<><><><>

Zendaya stayed in front of the gate, standing for five minutes. She told them that she's not going anywhere without Timothy. The guards seemed to keep going in and out of the house, and they are communicating from the inside.

She crossed her arms, and her people with guns, shields are around. Ready for the raid. She looked around the house, and there, she found the room where Timothy is. He's flickering the light, and he tried to break the glass that is thick and bulletproof.

She eventually lost patience as she signed her men, and they surrounded her, and they pointed guns, and the guards dropped whatever they have when there are laser lights on their heads. But, it's just a tranquilizer, and she won't go here with a gun. She entered the main door and found De la Fontaine and Emma's family.

She looked around and then smiled.

"Bonjour, la famille en droit." Zendaya greeted in a very slow and s.e.xy-dangerous voice. "I'm here to take my fiancée back." She lifted her ring. "Where is he?"

She spotted Emma from the stairs. She exhaled.

"Timothy!"

"Stop screaming. How dare you enter my house! Chienne!" He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Zendaya. Zendaya told her men to step back. They did, but they pointed their guns around for any bad movement.

"Father, I want my Timothy back."

"Don't you dare call me father!"

"Oh, I hate calling you that. But I have no choice. I should respect you. But, since you are making me impatient, I might not be able to."

Zendaya positioned her feet, and she makes a quick movement but kicking his wrist, and she kicked up the gun before it hit the floor and caught it. She then pointed it to him.

"You see, Timothy already sign a contract with me after he took my v.i.r.g.i.nity. Now, step away, I want my groom back."

Jacque De la Fontaine stepped back and he glared at her. His face is red and his eyes are so big that his eyeballs could come out. His jaws are tight and he might break his teeth in anger.

She gave the gun to one of her guards, and she smiled.

"Timmy!" She called.

"Zendy! I'm here, baby!" Timothy shouted.

"I'm coming." She said without breaking eye contact with Jacque. She chuckled and walked to the staircase. Emma looked away from her, and she rolled her eyes at her.

Walking like a runway queen upstairs, she had fun and have that anger kept in her heart. Then, she looked around, and Timothy kept calling her. Then, she opened the door, and she exhaled.

"Timmy!"

"Zendy!" They run at each other. She jumped to him. Timothy caught her and wrapped his arms around her. Giving her lots of kisses on the face.

"Let's go." She reached the floor and held his hand.

"I can't," he said, and Zendaya looked down at the heavy cuff around his ankle.

She's angry for getting him cuff like a dog. She took a photo of it and a few photos. Then, one of the agents came to remove it.
