Katrina's POV

"There's no way that was found in my room because I didn't do it I know you hate me, but is framing me enough!" I growled out in anger, glaring at Phillip and the men behind him,

Tm framing you? I think you're mistaken about something. Why'd I want to do that?" The smile on Phillip's lips remained as he stared at me with a mockenjnh gaze.

He wanted to see me beg

I I would think give him the satisfaction of what he wants.

"Where is Silas?" I hissed. I hadn't seen him since they pulled me out of my room, and he was the one ZJ needed to talk to.

"Silas isn't available right now. He's still unconscious due to the poison you had given him. So until he regains consciousness, I would be in charge of the mata, Phillip seemed to be filled with delight as he spoke, his eyes glinting This is bad.

Silas isn't awake so I needed to make sure I would be able to escape once I try.

"If you're thinking of a way to escape, I suggest you end such useless thoughts. There was no way you'd be able to escape from here, and if you tried, you would be dead before you got to the gates, Phillips's gone was filled with promise, and I gulped, knowing he was serious about what he was saying

"What would Silas say when he finds out you touched his wife?" questioned, staring at him.

This was the last card I could think of and I knew it was defective

Phillip scoffed lightly, staring at me with mockery in his eyes

"His wife? We both know that Silas does not consider you as his wife. Or were you deceived because of the little things you both had? You're nothing to Silas and you know that,"

His words pierced through me because I knew they were nothing but the truth.

My life was in danger, and I needed to get the hell out of this place.

One of the men behind Silas whispered some words in his ears, and his expression turned stoic.

It seems your punishment has been disrupted. I'd have to take care of some things now. You should prepare yourself for what's to come. I'm only being considerate to you since hillip pushed to his height, taking a step back.

I wasn't certain if Phillip had asked people to guard the door, but I was going to worry about that later. With soft steps, I hurriedly walked towards the door, placing my ears against the metal.

When I didn't hear anything. I pulled the door open, peeping through.

There was no one in the area and I used that as my chance to escape.

My heart beat wildly in my chest with sweat dripping down my forehead.

I was running in plain sight, hoping no one would see me.

But how possible was that?

This place was filled with Silas's and Phillip's men who wanted me dead, plus the maids too.
