"I get it's the 'family' business and jealousy for you." I averted my gaze from Angus to Blair. "What about you?"

She gasped, putting a hand over her heart. "Ah feel offended by that. Ah mean, com' on, it'z mah family too." She paused, and her face scrunched in disgust. "Although it'z forceful, ah learn to love it."

"But you love Alistair-"

"Ah never loved Alistair." She scoffed. "He waz just an uwgly, fat boy mah parents betrothed me to. Ah was only marrying for the money... But now hiz looks er just a bonus."

I didn't know how Alistair looked before, but now he was just as handsome as Finlay and Neil.

"You felt threatened by Finlay getting the business."

"It technically belonged to mah fiancé because he iz the eldest in the family. So ah'm getting whit rightfully belongz to uz." She concluded with a beam.

"In short, you are just a greedy bit*h, and you..." I glared at Angus. "Are her play toy? You know she's going to kick your high a** when she's done with this-"

"Dae nawt listen to 'er, Angus." Blair cut me off and put a hand on his arm. "Let'z finish thiz tonight an' we'll be free."

I frowned when I felt the ropes on my right arm losing. Darting my eyes at Finlay, I saw his hand extended towards me and his eyes focused on the rope. I heard a metal cling and my head snapped towards Angus to see him holding a gun.

"You're going to kill me?" I dwelled trying to buy Finlay time.

"That'z whit happens to curious cats." Blair giggled. "Ye'er out of yer nine lives, Amber."

"And how are you planning to hide my body?"

"We'll throw ye in the woods." Angus shrugged. "There er a lot of wild animalz there to feast on ye."

"As for the cover-up." Blair gave me a once-over. "Everyone will think ye flew back to America because yer cover was blown."

"They know I'm his fiancée-"

"Ye aren't." She stepped towards me and I stiffen but sighed when she didn't notice the loose rope and snatched the ring out of my finger. "Thiz belongz to meh." She grinned and put it on her ring finger. "Fergus kens about ye since originally he was the one who hired Oliver."

Fergus knows? That's why he has been so suspicious of me?!

"He waz plannin' to front ye after the festival. We'll just say ye found out about it an' ran away." Angus concluded, loading the gun.

"It waz a pleasure meetin' ye Amber." Blair walked backward, waving her fingers at me. "An' don't worry. Finlay will follow ye shortly." with that she spun on her heels and walked out of the cell.

"Daen't worry Bonnie." Angus gave a disgusting grin and put the gun on my forehead. "Ah'll make it quick an' easy for ye."

I took a deep breath and was thinking of ways in my head to seize the gun from him with my one hand, but halted when I saw Finlay getting on his feet.

"Nawt on my watch," Finlay growled and lurched at Angus.

My eyes widened when he disappeared into his body. Angus's brows dipped into a frown when his hand shook and abruptly his wrist twisted making him yelp in pain and the gun dropped onto the floor.

"BLOODY FU-"

In a swift motion, his whole body flew back and slam into the wall while I jolted in my seat in surprise. My eyes bugged out when I saw Angus cursing and rolling on the floor.

"Amber!" Angus grumbled as he tried to get up but was pulled back to the ground. "Get out of here!"

And that's when I realized it was Finlay speaking.

Finlay... Got in his body?!

I jerked out of the trance when he groaned in agony and wiggled my arm out of the loose rope, then quickly untied my other arm and legs. I glanced up and saw Angus struggling to reach for the gun, then yanked back.

"Whit in the bloody hell iz going' on widh meh?!"

I freed my legs and pick the gun from the ground. Angus's eyes widened when I stood next to his body.

"This is for Finlay."

I gave him a cheeky grin and banged the gun over his head. He immediately fell unconscious and Finlay slowly get out of his body. I crouched next to Finlay and threw the gun out of my hand.

"Amber... I can't move anymore," he grumbled, lying next to Angus.

"Finlay... Everything is going to be alright, just hang on for a bit."

"My... Body." He mumbled before closing his eyes.

It pained me to see him like that more than in my head right now, but I needed to do something. Unwilling, I got up and rushed upstairs to his room. I needed to take care of his body before Blair can inject him again.

I had no idea how I remembered the way to his room, but I did, and when I entered, my eyes widened to see Blair emptying the injection into his body.

"Stop it!" I screamed and dashed towards her. Her eyes bugged out when she saw me.

"How er ye alive-" I pressed the bell button next to the bed to call Mr. Butler.

"This cat still got a few lives left bit*h." I pushed her away from his body and put my hands over him as Finlay's body was vigorously shaking. "What did you give him?!" I shouted at her, but she remained unfazed. "F**k! If something happens to him, I swear I'll kill you with my bare hands!"

Mr. Butler burst into the room, looking frantic. "Ah waz in the servin' quwarters whit happened-"

"Amber injected Finlay widh somethin'!" Blair pointed at me, showing an innocent face. "Ah saw 'er doin' it an' called ye 'ere."

"Seriously?" I got up from the bed and picked my phone out. "I think the recording tells another story." Her mouth opened in fear and I ignored her, turning towards Mr. Butler. "Call Neil and an ambulance. We need to take him to the hospital."

Mr. Butler nodded and picked up the intercom phone. I stopped my recording on the phone and was glad it was still working. From the corner of my eye, I saw Blair running out of the room.

"Hey wait!" I shouted, but she slipped out. I threw the phone on the bed. "There is the proof call, everyone, here now!"

Mr. Butler obediently nodded his head and began booming at someone on the phone. I sprinted out of the room after Blair and looked around the hallways, but she wasn't anywhere.

Where are you bit*h?!

I halted near the window and saw her running in the fields. Picking up speed, I ran out of the castle after her and saw her getting on a deck boat in the lake.

F**k, not the lake!

Fear of getting in the lake overwhelmed me, but I couldn't let her slip out of my hands. With that thought, I forced my legs faster as she tried to start the boat. The motor roared, and she grabbed the steering wheel. Before she could move, I reached her and jumped into the boat.

"Naw!" she cried out, gearing at full speed.

I jolted back in the boat and grabbed it as I took deep breaths to calm myself.

"There is nowhere to run now, Blair," I grumbled, getting the balance, and leaped on her.

"Get off meh!" she shrieked.

Pushing her from the system, I switched off the boat and threw the keys into the water. The bit*h yanked my hair back and pain shot through my head where Angus banged me. I pressed the side of my head and turned to punch her in the face and, well...

That was the beginning of our catfight.

We both screamed as she scratched my arm and face with her sharp nails and pulled my hair again while I smacked her in the face and kicked her stomach. In the background, I heard car sounds and red and blue lights coming toward us.

"Game over Blair," I smirked.

"Naw!" she wailed and shoved me.

Surprised by her strength, my leg misstepped on the rope, and I slipped backward. My head hit the side of the boat before I splashed into the icy lake water and my body gave away.
