Not the Successor to the Throne
Chapter 53. David is trapped

Zoe's hospital room is still sealed. The girl was still drowning in her dreams. Sisters or doctors who visit every morning are not yet visible.

Eiger came early to see Zoe. Not only that, he also brought a bouquet of flowers for her.

Slowly, Eiger opens the door to the room and then closes it again. He saw Zoe still sleeping very well. However, Eiger's sense of hearing captures one name being called in his sleep.

"Eiger, Eiger, Eiger! Don't leave! Don't leave me!" Zoe's voice was delirious.

Eiger placed a bouquet of flowers on the nightstand. After which, he tried to shake Zoe's shoulder slowly.

"Zoe, hey wake up!" lirih.

Feeling like he heard a foreign voice, Zoe slowly woke up from her sleep. He saw Eiger's face right in front of him. He was very surprised to find out that there was this guy.

"You? You must not be real! You're just my dream. Right, eh? You you?" Zoe looked shocked to see it.

Without warning, Eiger pulls the girl and hugs her.

"Hey, I'm Eiger. I'm real!" Eiger doesn't know how it ends if Zoe is the one who's gone.

Seeing Zoe was in shock when she found out she was present before him. It seems that Zoe also knew the news of his death.

"really?" zoe asked as she felt calm in Eiger's arms.

"Yes, I'm alive. I'm not going to let people hurt you" Eiger explained after returning Zoe's position to her bed.

Zoe was silent as she looked at Eiger's face that looked so perfect. Zoe's memory returned at the time of the abduction. He does not know who took him to be held captive in an old warehouse that even Zoe herself does not know what happened.

"You don't remember how it happened?"

Zoe shook her head. "I just remember being last smothered by someone. That'sthat's all. I think they gave me a high dose of anesthetic so I wasn't conscious at all."

"Thank God. At least you're safe in that fire" Eiger said.

When nothing else is discussed, Eiger asks permission to go to the detention house. He has to go see Biana.

"If you don't have anything else to say, I'll go first. Oh yes, this bouquet of flowers is from me. Hope you like it" explains Eiger.

"Thank you" Zoe replied.

Eiger came out of the room. Actually Zoe was still very longing to see it clearly, but it was a pity that Eiger rushed to meet someone.

Biana, who was currently in the detention house, was very upset. Who would dare to accuse him of a crime he never committed. Besides they don't have a good reason to put him in jail, do they?

While regretting what happened to her, a female warder told her that there was a visit for her.

"Who?" ask Biana. He hoped that what came was his daddy.

"Just leave. He's a man" replied the prison warden.

'man? I don't think there's anyone I know very well besides Eiger. But, isn't the rumor dead?' inner Biana.

Seen from her back, Biana knew the man. Without saying much, Biana immediately hugged him.

"Eiger, help me!" lirih.

Eiger took the girl's hand off. "It's not appropriate that you do that. How humiliating!"

Biana feels that the Eiger has changed a lot. The man was like nothing known before.

"Why did you do that?" accuse Eiger.

"What's? I did what? I'm not doing anything you're accusing."

"really? Give me one reason to believe!"

It hurts a lot, doesn't it? When the expected man can defend him, but the reality is not at all. Eiger doesn't believe it.

"I swear, Eiger. I didn't do it. Then, how did you survive when the media reported that you were gone?"

"OK, okay. I'm sorry. I was home all day. Didn't do anything. I think you or anyone else is wrong to suspect me."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you feel awkward, suddenly Bianca came. All this then happens, Eiger. Think about! You know, too, the consequences after this. My dad must have lost his trust. He'll get Bianca. This must be him. I'm sure it is."

Eiger knows who Biana is. However, it was a bit awkward if Bianca also recognized Zoe in such a quick time. Only Biana knows who Zoe is to the Eiger.

"Last time I asked. Is it true you weren't the culprit?"

"Eiger, I'm innocent! No matter what excuse I make, you won't believe."

Eiger came out without saying goodbye. He left Biana in his solitude. The goal this time was to go straight to the office, no longer to the Willard family mansion. There are things to talk about with his uncle.

Being in a different place, Balthis was pensive in his room. She got word about her son's DNA test. That means the chance to meet Elov is very slim.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" david asked as he entered the room.

"I'm going to Switzerland again. Elov's DNA test results are out."

"Why are you sad?"

"Elov never existed, David. I'm sorry."

"Wait, Brother! I never understood what you meant?"

"Later you'll know. Book flight tickets for two."

If you already have the will, Balthis can not be prevented. The riddle of Elov's life became a question. There will be a lot of secrets revealed after this. Including the departure of Blerim's former lover who still raises question marks.

"When's departure?"

"Tomorrow morning! Oh yes, tell Jean. I have had many meetings today. Eiger definitely didn't come today."

Balthis was wrong. Eiger knocks on the door and enters his papa's room.

"Hey, Boy! Where are you from?" ask Balthis.

Balthis' hospitality is questionable. Had experienced a dispute with Eiger, in fact now Balthis much changed.

"As I said yesterday."

"Oh, you visited that woman?" ask David.

"Yes, Uncle. Oh yeah, I want to ask Uncle for help, " said Eiger.

"I? You must be the wrong guy. I'm not as good as my brother, Blerim. You better ask her for help."

David is very lazy when dealing with the Eiger. If it wasn't for Balthis, he wouldn't have helped Eiger to free Zoe.

"Come, Uncle. I have a clear reason. You want me to spread my excuses in front of Papa?" ask Eiger a little threatening.

"Yes, okay. We'll talk in my room. Not here!" take David.

Both left Balthis alone. When he reached David's room, the middle-aged man let Eiger sit as he pleased.

"What do you want from me?"

This time the Eiger doesn't want the problem to get any longer. So the man just whispered his plan to David. It was a bit lowly, but Eiger was sure that this plan would work.

"What's? You're asking me to be that kind of guy?" david protest.

"Oh come on, Uncle. You must understand what my purpose is. You don't want to miss this opportunity, do you?"

David's trapped. The difference between desire and hope is very incompatible. However, the Eiger offers a million beauties within its plans.
