?Chapter 37?

“I killed Diego”

Helen froze and Zaki smiled satisfyingly

I killed Diego

I killed Diego

I killed Diego

The words kept repeating itself in her head. She looked at him with tears in her eyes

“You…you killed my brother. Why?”

“Same reason why I want to kill you” He smirked

“Karma will surely catch up with you cause I will kill you if it’s the last thing I will do”

“Too bad you won’t be able to do that”

BACK AT THE PALACE

The family doctor was attending to the queen while the King sent out more warriors and the police were contacted.

They called Derrick and he came over

“How did this happen?” He ruffled his hair in frustration

“We were on our way back from Zulu when the car broke down. The guards were trying to fix it while we tried contacting a mechanic.

All of a sudden,a group of armed men emerged from the bushes and insisted she followed them otherwise they would kill us all. She…she pleaded for them to spare us and they…they…they took her away” Tasha explained in tears

The King just paced forth and back with no idea on what to do

“I know Zaki is behind all these” Stanley said

“Did she drop her phone?” Derrick asked

“No her phone was in her pocket” Kira answered

“We have to call Sam right away” He took out his phone and dialed the number

?Hello my prince

?Sam listen to me. Zaki had kidnapped the Princess

?What!! How?

?We don’t have time for questions. Come to the palace now with your tracking devices. I need you to track the princess’s phone

? Okay my prince. I will be there in a jiffy

Derrick hung up the call. He wondered the torture she was going through now. He prayed that nothing should happen to her before they find her location.

Word had already gone round the kingdom that their precious princess was kidnapped. Mitchell had already started working same place with Claire. They closed early that day due to the news and both were heading home.

“I still can’t believe all these. How did she get kidnapped?” Mitchell asked

“That…I don’t know” Claire replied

“But she is a warrior. She would have just beaten the hell out of those men”

“She isn’t a fool Mitchell. Maybe she was threatened with a family member. You know how royals love their family members” Claire said

“I guess you’re right. I just hope they find her soon” Mitchell said

“Of course they will find her” Claire said and they left

A SEARCH FOR TRUE LOVE: Chapter 31 – The End

Another part of Gatrish stood some girls talking about what happened and Chris was walking by. When he heard the Princess name,he stood to listen

“I don’t know why some people are just wicked. I heard it was Zaki that sent some men to kidnap her” One of the girls said

“Are you for real? All these relatives are just so selfish. I’m sure he did that so that he would take over the king’s throne” The second girl said

“I agree with you. You know Prince Diego was the first heir before he died. Now our humble Princess is the heiress and only survivor. If he eventually succeeds in killing her,he will be the one to take over after the king” The third girl pointed out

“God forbid. I will never in my life bow to a murderer. Do you know the queen is even in coma as we speak. She suffered from stroke immediately she heard that the Princess was kidnapped” The first girl said with pity

“Oh poor royal family. I pray prince Derrick finds her soon. I don’t want her to die. She is a good soul with a heart of gold” The second girl replied

“God always protects his own. Let us go” The third girl said and they left

Chris couldn’t believe what he just heard. Why would Zaki so this? He knows why but is that really necessary? He needs to go to the palace and lend a helping hand too.

BACK AT THE PALACE

Sam was already there and was trying his best to track down the princess’s phone but he wasn’t getting any signal.

“I can’t get a signal” Sam said

“This is bad” Derrick said

“Maybe I can help” Chris said walking in with one of the guards

Derrick turned and glared at him

“Who are you?” The King asked

“I am Chris your majesty. I heard about what happened and I am here to help” Chris bowed

“What kind of help could you possibly render other than making things worse” Derrick snapped

“Prince Derrick,I get the fact that you don’t like me but please let me help” Chris pleaded

Derrick scoffed

“This is not the time to bite each other’s throats off. Whatever happened between both of you should be put aside. You two can settle your scores after my daughter is rescued” The King said

“Fine your majesty. Tell us what you know Chris” Derrick ordered

“He said he couldn’t get a signal from her phone which means that the place Zaki has taken her is a village without connection and there is only one village in the outskirts of Gatrish that is like that”

“So what is the name of the village?” Derrick asked

“Salem and I think I know where she is” Chris said

“Take us there immediately” Derrick said

“I’m coming with you” The King said

“No your majesty. You have to stay here. We will go and bring her and Olivia back alive” Stanley said and started preparing some weapons

“He is right your majesty” Derrick said

“Okay but please be careful. If it’s profits your life to kill him,do so cause he cease to be my brother” The King ordered

“Okay my King” They bowed

“I’m coming with you” Tasha said

“No you have to look after the queen” Derrick said

“Kira will look after her. I’m coming and you can’t stop me” Tasha was adamant

“Okay Tasha. But you know it’s going to be dangerous” Stanley said

“Danger is my middle name” She grabbed two swords

“Okay guys. Let’s go”

“May God go with you all” The King said

They bowed and left.

VILLAGE OF SALEM

THE UNCOMPLETED BUILDING

Zaki was outside sharpening his sword

“I’m sorry for this my princess” Olivia said

“It’s not your fault. I should be thanking you for saving me all this while”

“I had to make up for my mistakes” Olivia said

“You’ve done that already. I know Derrick and the rest are on their way so we have to keep him busy for their arrival even if it means bursting out of here cause I must kill Zaki today” Helen whispered

“So what do we do?” Olivia asked

“Try and reach into my gown pocket. You’ll see a pocket knife. Use it to cut the ropes on my hands and legs loose and I’ll do same for you” Helen said

“Okay” Olivia reached into her pocket and brought the knlfe out successfully. She used it to cut the ropes used to tie her hands. Helen collected the knife and did same and soon enough they were free but pretended to be bind.

Zaki finished sharpening his sword and came to them.

“So who am I going to kill first?” He asked

“Me” Helen said

“Nice choice. Don’t worry Princess it will be slow and painless” He smiled walking towards her and held her neck

Helen smirked

“Do you know you are a fool?” Helen spat on his face and Olivia stood up and $tabbed him with the pocket knife

She knew it won’t kill him but it would make them stand a little fighting chance against him

Helen kicked him and he fell on the floor and stood up with blood stains

“What are you doing standing there? Get them!!!!” Zaki yelled at the men with him

“Can you fight?” Helen asked her

“I’ll try” Olivia smiled awkwardly

The men were hefty and Helen was a little weak but she tried her best. She wasn’t with any weapon either. One of the men caught Olivia and wanted to stab her but Helen saved her and she got caught instead.

Olivia tried saving her but was caught too

Zaki picked his sword

“How foolish can you be little niece. You really put up a fight but it’s futile. Now hold on let me send you to where Diego is” He wanted to stab her

“Hey Zaki,why not take on somebody of your own size?”

“Derrick? What are you doing here?” Zaki asked

“Let her go”

“Do not come closer else I will $lice her thr.oat” Zaki threatened and put the sword on her neck

“You wouldn’t dare” Derrick said

“I’m serious. Drop your weapons” Zaki said

Helen felt the men’s grip on her hand loosen a little and gave Zaki a kick in the mid section. He held his man hood in pains and she took that opportunity to collect the sword and slice the hefty men in front of her making them release Olivia.

She ran and hugged Derrick

“You came for me. Even Chris and Stanley. Awwn that’s nice” She said

“You’ve already saved yourself now do us the honor of ending that wicked man” Stanley said

“You think it’s that easy to kill me?” Zaki was about rushing at Helen when he felt a sword pierce his heart and burst out through his chest. He turned and saw Olivia

“I told you I will get my revenge Zaki” Olivia said

“Nice move” Chris commended her

“This is for trying to kill me Zaki” Helen stabbed him

“This is for trying to take over my father’s throne” She stabbed him again

“And this is for killing Diego” She stabbed him twice again and he fell on his knees

“Finish him Olivia” She said

“With pleasure” Olivia gave him the last one and he fell down flat with blood gushing out of the pierced places. Even his mouth

Helen stared at him with no remorse at all as he finally breathe his last. Zaki was finally dead

She turned and cried on Derrick’s shoulders

It was finally over
