Zilia looked at the folded paper in her hand and his behind the pillar to read it.
"Kill Casaio if you want your brother alive."
Zilia furrowed her brows together. ’Why am I being lied? Idris is in the palace,’ she thought.
"Didn’t I ask you to stay close to me all the time?" Casaio’s frustrated tone reached her ears.
Zilia turned to him. She grasped his hand and dragged him with her to a part of the palace, where none could see them.
Shutting the door behind her, she turned to Casaio and handed him the note.
"Jake gave this to me. The moment lights turned off in the hall, he was before me and handed this note to me. Before I could ask him further, he disappeared," Zilia said.
"Gabriel staged Idris’s death, didn’t he?" Zilia pressed. "Then why are they threatening me with his life? Why would someone do this if they believe he’s dead?"
"How many times did you get such a message?" Casaio questioned, his dark gaze meeting hers.
"This is the first time," Zilia replied.
Casaio’s hand shot out as it tightened around her throat as he pinned her against the wall with a low thud.
"Ahh!" Zilia’s hands instinctively moved to his wrist. "Why?" She confusedly looked at him.
"You’re lying. You were given such a mission to harm me or my family even earlier too. Just admit it you never got a chance to harm us," Casaio said, gritting his teeth in anger.
Zilia furrowed her brows together, parting her lips but his thumb was pressed tightly against her windpipe. The veins on her temples popped out and tears emerged in her eyes.
Casaio realizing what he was doing, immediately pulled back his hand while Zilia slumped to the floor, gasping and coughing profusely.
"I-I never was given such an order," Zilia said after moment as she lifted her gaze to meet his. "If you don’t believe me, just kill me. I don’t want to live like this. I-I don’t..." Her tears poured freely down her cheeks and she lowered her head, not wanting him to see her vulnerable side.
"I don’t even believe your tears anymore," Casaio said. "Don’t step out of this room until I return," he instructed her and walked away.
Casaio went straight to the CCTV center of the palace and checked the hall cameras. Thanks to the high resolution cameras that they had recently installed, Casaio could see the face of Jake and a frown appeared on his forehead.
He took the picture of it and called the security head.
"Block the western gate," he ordered grimly. "We’ve got an intruder in the palace."

Jake looked behind while rushing forward to the western gate, which was the perfect exit spot without getting into anyone’s notice.
However, his feet came to an abrupt halt seeing a man standing in front of him. He recognised the person immediately. Dominick Sinclair.
Jake took a step back and turned around only to find Casaio behind him.
He started running opposite to both of them before turning into his wolf form.
Dominick and Casaio chased him along with the other warriors that were summoned. It didn’t take them long to subdue Jake.
Casaio kicked the lower abdomen of Jake, who was already writhing on the floor in pain after a warrior wolf attacked him with his sharp claws.
