The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 927

Was that man out of his mind?"

What can't wait till morning?

In this godforsaken hour, and in the rain, no less, he came here causing a ruckus?

"Don't mind him," Donald assured, "We'll handle this, sorry for waking you, Mr. Clark."

"No worries," Clark replied, glancing towards the neighboring room, he whispered, "Bella wasn't woken up from all this commotion, was she?"

"No..." Donald lied, averting his gaze, "Perhaps the storm drowned out the noise...or maybe she's just exhausted and sleeping soundly."

Remembering all that his sister had been through today, Clark nodded in agreement, "Thanks for your help."

"It's our pleasure to serve you and Bella," Donald replied with a smile on his face.

Just as Clark was about to enter his room, he added, "Oh, and leave him alive."

Tomorrow, he, Bella, and Romeo were set to visit a location that Carol had left behind. He didn't want to attract unnecessary attention.

Donald paused for a brief moment, and then reassured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Clark, he saved our boss' life once. We won't harm him."

"Saved Bella?" Clark turned back, "How come?"

Donald didn't expect Clark to be unaware of that. He was surprised, and then he explained, "When our boss first came here, she was alone and vulnerable. She nearly died...but he saved her. I heard she was severely injured, barely hanging on to her life...If not for him, she might have..."

"Why was she injured?" Clark asked, his heart aching, "Who hurt her? Why would they?"

Donald was taken aback but he continued to say, "Our boss is beautiful, and when she first arrived here, it was inevitable that some would have ill intentions...wanting to claim her for themselves. She came here alone, searching for herbs. She had a hard time."

The whole of Mafia Flame felt sorry for her.

Clark understood the situation, and it hurt even more.

Of course, his beautiful sister would attract attention in such a ruthless place.
