Chapter 105

Kelly and Alex finally passed the wilderness and reached the city.

Just the two of them-clad in torn clothes, covered in dirt-they looked like poor kids from the slums.

"Prince," Kelly called softly.

"Stop calling me Prince. Just call me by my name-you're going to be my wife later," Alex replied firmly

"Fine," Kelly said, a faint smile touching her lips despite the exhaustion.

Their faces streaked with grime, they slowly entered Vancouver's bustling streets and made their way toward the slum district to blend in with the people there.

"Will your father find us?" Alex asked, his voice low.

"I've trained for this moment many times. I activated a special GPS only my father can access-he'll find us," Kelly answered with conviction.

But both of them grew silent, knowing that if her father was dead, no rescue would

come.

They hid inside a large sewer tunnel.

After days of running, exhaustion weighed on them. Kelly's stomach suddenly let out a loud growl.

They hadn't had decent food in days. Yet, Kelly stayed strong, curling up and falling asleep despite her hunger.

Alex watched her, guilt churning in his chest. What kind of man am I if I can't even get her food?

He'd never known hunger or poverty before. His entire life, everything he wanted had always been given to him.

While Kelly slept, Alex quietly slipped away.

He wandered toward a nearby market, eyes scanning for food until he spotted a small bakery stand run by a chubby vendor.

A few fresh loaves lay within reach.

Alex reached out and grabbed two pieces of bread.

"Hey! Hey, you!" the vendor shouted. "Where do you think you're taking that bread?"

"It's for Kelly," Alex replied as though it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"I don't care who Kelly is! Do you have money to pay for that bread?"

Alex frowned, confused. "What's money?"

The vendor snorted. "No money, no bread. Put it back!"
