Chapter 268 - Justice (1/2)
-UNEDITED-
Days passed by, and both Gavin and Brione became too busy attending important events and visiting previous government projects in improving various facilities and agencies that would benefit the citizens of country B.
Gavin also announced the final date of the royal couple's grand wedding ceremony and his intention to step down on the throne once Cedric was back. This announcement earned different speculations from people and the media.
One particular person who felt alarmed by that special announcement was Olivia. 'Why would Gavin hand over the crown to Cedric?'
Olivia touched her chest. Her heart would constantly pound hard whenever she would think about Cedric, and she knew she must overcome it. She had no right to be happy in this lifetime. She did not deserve single happiness at all.
She heaved a long deep sigh. Later she would check her father in the hospital. The surgery was a success, but her father needed to recuperate more, and her mother never left his side. Her family was now a bit comforted knowing that Oliver finally received justice for his death. But the pain of losing her brother like that still lingered in their family, and it would take a long time before they could finally accept losing someone so precious in their lives.
Olivia looked at the wall clock in her office. It was now time for her to leave for a significant event, so she called her assistant and informed, ”I will now leave to watch Duncan's execution today.”
She wanted to witness Duncan pay for his sins. She arrived at the place of execution and saw Princess Leila, who greeted her warmly. Olivia unconsciously looked around, and Leila noticed it, so she said, ”Lucas and Gavin will not come. It's just me from the royal family. I wanted to make sure he was dead.”
The correctional officers dragged Duncan inside the execution room. Duncan could not see anyone from the corners of the room except for guards and people who would conduct the execution. HE was aware that behind those glass in the rooms were the eyes of people who wanted to witness his execution.
”I want to see Gavin! I want my son. Gavin! Son! Are you watching behind the glass? Please, son… See me one last time… please,” Duncan yelled, crying hard.
”Son… Please, Gavin. See me just one last time. I beg you.” Duncan cried as he helplessly slumped on the floor. He wanted to see his son for one last moment. Last night, he dreamed all those good memories they had while Gavin was growing up.
Leila shook her head and whispered, ”he should have expected this thing coming. After all the things he has done, does he think Gavin will still see him?”
Leila clicked her tongue as she added, ”what's the point of him crying and begging. He should have stopped when he was already having a good time as father and son to Gavin. And yet, he continued doing bad to other people to make Lucas suffer. How dare that bastard cry now like a pitiful man! How despicable!”
