The first thing she does is to find out where Emily is standing, it is easy to locate where her target is because she has already seen what Emily wore to the festival. Freya arranged drinks carefully on the small tray and went ahead to serve drinks to the guests, she did not want to be suspected if she walked up to Emily immediately with a drink. Her heart is beating faster as she prays not to be caught in this.
Williams walks up to Louis, his disappointed face brings a lot of news that Louis is dreading to hear. Williams pities the miserable state that his Alpha is in, Emily had a huge impact on his Alpha.
“She’s not here,” Williams drops the news.
Louis’s heart sinks as he hears the news, his woman has disappeared from his life forever. How is he going to cope without her? he needed comfort and drinking was the only way he could think of, he sat on the counter collected a drink from the waitress, and downed the glass. Without minding if he would get drunk or not, he took another glass and downed it instantly. His head is beginning to feel lighter as he did the same to his third glass and his fourth one too. Until he notices a servant at the back forge of the counter looking around anxiously. When she is sure that no one is watching her, she removes a pill from her apron and drops it into a glass of wine. Louis is immediately alert as he realizes that this lady is about to drug someone. He watches the servant quietly as she approaches a woman in a red dress, his attention is immediately focused on the woman who is standing alone in that lonely and dark corner. Her body figure looks familiar, could she be Emily?
His heart races at that thought, he watches carefully as the servant hands the lady the drugged drink and leaves. The woman downs the drink immediately too. After a few seconds, she begins to feel uneasy and leaves through the back door.
Louis follows her instantly. Freya is frightened when she sees another man following Emily behind as soon as she leaves, this is a terrible turnout of the plan. She walks slowly to the back door and watches the drama unfold between the duo.
Emily is beginning to feel uneasy and dizzy at the same time, she decides to go in for the night and rest since nothing much is going on at the festival. But it seems like she is slowly losing consciousness, her body begins to sway from one side to the other. She slips and is about to fall but strong hands grab her waist, stopping her from falling flat to the floor.
Emily is about to thank him when she realizes that the mask belongs to Louis, her dreaded nightmare. He is looking intently at her face and is convinced that she is the one.
“Emily?” he calls her name softly.
Scared of getting caught, Emily squeezes herself out of his arms and turns around quickly.
“I’m not the one,” she replies sharply but her voice betrays her.
“Emily! it’s you! I’ve been searching all over for you,” he tells her excitedly.
“Why?” her voice breaks but she loses consciousness at the same time.
Louis catches her again before she falls flat to the ground.
“Williams, I’ve found Emily. Inform Jax that she just fainted now and needs a doctor,” Louis mind links Williams.
Freya quickly leaves when she finds out that her plans have failed miserably. Her eyes brim with tears at the realization of her failed plan.
Williams approaches Jax and Conrad with a smile on his face, “Alpha Louis said I should inform you that Emily has fainted and requires a doctor.”
Jax and Conrad are stunned to hear that Louis has found Emily. While Jax’s mind links Nathan to come, they go through the back door to see Louis carrying the unconscious Emily in his arms like she’s his bride. They lead him to her room where it is laid and Nathan begins to treat her.
“What happened to her?” Jax asks Louis.
Conrad stands by the side with Williams although he feels like punching Louis in his face right now. All their plans to stop them from meeting failed woefully.
“She was drugged by a servant. I saw the servant slipping a pill into Emily’s drink, that’s how I found her. why didn’t you tell me that she is here?”
“Because she deserves to be happy, Louis. Emily is doing fine without you and I do not want her wounds to be reopened because of you!” Jax says.
Louis sighs deeply, “I do not wish to make things complicated for her. If she does not want me back, I’ll leave her alone.”
Conrad is enraged that Louis still wants to press on even after Jax has told him that Emily is fine without him, Louis is willing to reopen the chapter again and hurt Emily all over again. This sounds like something a heartless man would do, Conrad wishes that he could say something about it.
Nathan comes out after to address them, “She’ll be awake soon. She was drugged but I’ve injected her with a tonic that will dilute the drugs.”
They all enter the room and wait patiently for Emily to wake up. After several long hours, She stirs up and tries to get up on her bed.
“Emily! you’re awake!” Louis rushes up to her first.
Emily, on seeing him, slaps his hands away. She can’t believe that he found her here, in fact, she is enraged to see him here.
“Get away from me!” she scolds him.
“Emily,” Conrad calls her softly.
“Baby, you’re here,” Emily replies him.
Louis cringes as he hears this, it turns out that Emily and Conrad are dating. How could Jax allow her to date a riffraff like Conrad?
“What are you doing here?” Emily asks Louis harshly.
“Emily, I want to apologize for what happened between us in the past…”
“I don’t want to talk about it,” Emily cuts him off.
“But Em…”
“Leave me alone, please!”
Louis tries to hold her hand but Conrad intervenes, he is willing to lose his position as a beta as long as he protects his woman.
“I’ll be leaving then,” Louis says.
He leaves with Williams but his heart is adamant that he will surely not give up, not now that he has found her. He vows to win her back and make her his wife.
