But can there be a solution, what if she let her stepfather have the empire, which is what he truly wants? Can she marry Frederick and again if that be the case, will Mr. Bushman let her marry Frederick? Either way, Frederick was not going to be hers because on one hand, Mr. Bushman is ready to do anything to make sure she doesn't end up with Frederick and on the other hand, Stephen King is ready to do everything possible to make her give up on the empire. She really doesn't have a choice. She will lose Frederick and lose her father's legacy. There are no two ways about it. She was left with no choice at all But she isn't willing to let Frederick get humiliated because of her. At this point, she concluded she is willing to let go of her love, her life, and her father's empire. It's not the right choice, she is not even in the right frame of mind to know what's good for her. She was tired and at that, will let the world win against her. She doesn't deserve to be loved, it's best

Frederick took a deep breath and bent on one knee. He was out with Gabby playing tennis at the far end of the mansion. For two hours now, both have continued to play, taking breaks at intervals. For a while, he has been feeling restless but he ignored the feeling which gets stronger. "Are you okay, bro?"Gabby asked from across the lawn. He too was kneeling on one knee. "I think so. I just got this feeling in the pit of my stomach. I think we should head back to the mansion, Kristen will be worried by now."Frederick said as he pushed himself up slowly and straightened himself"You are right bro. Let's go, Kristen will be upset"Gabby responded getting himself up on his two feet as well. They both headed back to the mansion. A few minutes later, both walked through the entrance and the unsettling feeling washed over Frederick again. He looked around and realized that his dad isn't around because the family Limo was nowhere to be seen. "I will see you at dinner"Gabby said,

"Frederick, you don't have to make an issue out of this. Just ignore her and let's find Kristen first." Gabby tried reasoning with Frederick when it was obvious bigger trouble was going to surface with the way Frederick was glaring at Cassie. Frederick has one thing in mind and that's to choke Cassie to death, maybe after she dies his father would let him be. It will be the beginning of his freedom. Frederick was doing nothing but glare yet it felt like he was doing something. Though Cassie had gathered vigor to face Frederick, her heart was still beating at a fast rate. The loud throb can be heard by anyone close to her."Well sorry to disappoint you, you will have to see her first before killing on her behalf."Cassie stated with her borrowed courage. "And what exactly do you mean by that, b*tch?"Frederick howled, his eyes turned ruddy and the little space between them, he closed it. Gabby shook his head in fear and prayed silently for their parents to return from wher

EARLIER IN THE DAY..... "You know I love you a lot, Kristen and I will do anything to make you happy. This might not be the best time but please, kindly accept this ring as my token of love" Frederick proposed to Kristen with one knee on the ground. Both were standing before Kristen's bedroom window when Frederick suddenly went on his knees. Kristen just moped at him with mixed feelings. She does know that he loves her and she loves him too, she can accent to that but will love be enough? Can Frederick deal with her family and can she do the same? With fear written all over his face, Frederick thought she would reject his ring, not that it would stop both from marrying each other. A few seconds passed and Kristen said nothing, only staring and when it seems she would say nothing, she accepted. "of course."She stretched forth her finger and he slipped the ring into it then stood up and huddled her into his arms."You don't know how happy I am, do you?""I know how happy

Kristen opened her slowly and felt a splitting head. She shut her eyes due to the sudden light that graced her eyes. It was too much for her poor eyes to bear. She waited for a while and then groaned before opening them again. She felt a bit strange and when she registered her surroundings, she realized she was in an unfamiliar place. It was white and cold. The headache increased with the passing seconds. It was becoming difficult for her to bear. She tried closing her eyes again but felt her face wet, she was crying unknowingly. She tried bringing her hand to her face to wipe her tears away but she could not and that's when she realized that if she wanted to move her body she could not because some sort of wires were connected to her body. Her body hurts from all the different activities and aches everywhere. Her limbs and fingers hurt too when she tried touching something.Suddenly, she heard voices and after a minute or two, a pair of hands placed themselves in front of he
