Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 682 - Six Hundred And Eighty-two: His Escape

The third point of view:

The bell rang and that marked the end of classes as students strolled out one after the other from their classroom. Both bodyguards stationed right outside the classroom kept their eyes out for his highness, the prince Akim, wondering what was delaying him. He was usually the first to alight once lessons were over.

Thinking something must have happened to him, they were just about to investigate the reason for the delay when he came out of the classroom with a girl by his side.

The both of them were stupefied as this was the first time his highness was being this close to a woman. They would be sure to bring this good news to his parents.

They cleared their throat to announce their presence to his highness who ignored them and kept on with his conversation. They didn't react to his silence and instead, maintained a few meters from his highness, giving him a bit of privacy like usual.

"So what's the plan?" Akim asked, his voice lowered. He didn't look back so the guards didn't suspect he was up to no good.

"You have to escape here as soon as I start," She said and that made him the more confused.

"I don't know anyplace here aside from the route to school and school," He pointed out his ignorance.

Akim sighed, at this rate, his men would catch him and their plans would all be for nothing.

"You would wait for me at the nearest phone booth, it's around the area. I'll find you there. Before then, you'd have to avoid all cameras and...." she smiled.

Akim shivered, he didn't like that smile on her face.

"I don't care to know how you do it but steal some cloth on your way out,"

"What?!" He almost shouted, yet was quick to compose himself, "That is impossible,"

"Your biggest problem would be escaping the school and changing your appearance would help a lot. I would take care of the two from behind and you find a way to escape here. Deal?"

"Deal," He added under his breath, "I'm just worried over the fact that I don't know what you have in mind,"

Anika smiled and punched him on the shoulder, Akim groaned. For a girl, she was quite strong. Unknown to them, their innocent gesture seemed like a public display of affection to his matured bodyguards. They had a lot of tales to narrate to their pals today - if only they knew they would have more than enough stories in the next minute.

"Are you ready?" Anika asked him.

Akim began to panic, "I don't think I'm -"

"Urgh!" Anika's expression distorted as she suddenly moaned, her hands going to wrap around her stomach as if in pain.

Upon the warning that Anika had given him beforehand, Akim still panicked when she cried out in pain. Perhaps, she had known that he was not a good actor and kept him in the dark for this very reason - his best reaction. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"Anika, what's wrong?" Akim went over to her trying to keep her from falling.

"I don't know," She said, tears trailing down her cheeks while her features distorted in pain.

"Your highness!" Both men came to his side, as confused as the prince was.

Akim wanted to believe that this was the long-awaited plan by Anika but then it was too real. What if Anika was hurting and something happened to her because he thought it was a prank?

"Take her to the infirmary now! She needs treatment!" He barked orders at his men who didn't hesitate.

It was at that moment that Akim saw the sly smile Anika gave him and he knew at once that she was acting? Oh my God, he thought that was real. Gosh, how could she do that to him without any warning?

But then, that was no time to complain, but to act. One of his guards carried Anika but the other hesitated, obviously contemplating leaving Akim all alone.

"I swear to God if anything happens to her, I'll make sure that not only you suffer the consequences but the rest of your family. I have enough security waiting for me outside, so get your ass moving!"

"Yes, your highness!"

No one needed to tell them twice and they went away with Anika who gave Akim a thumbs-up behind their back.

As soon as they went down the hallway, Akim knew it was time to act. One of them would definitely alert the others outside and they would come for him. He had to move now!

Akim moved with the crowd of students, it would be much safer to go under their camouflage. He scanned the crowd for suitable attire and finally found his target.

The innocent boy didn't even know what happened until he was grabbed by the wrist and dragged into the restroom.

"Your highness!" He was startled.

"Your clothes"

"What?!"

"Change out of them, quick!"

The next few minutes, Akim came out of the restroom with his hair hidden in the baseball cap he put on. He wore an ordinary t-shirt and denim with a different backpack on his shoulder.

His heart skipped a beat the instant he recognized his bodyguards rushing into the hallway, they must have been alerted of the news and the fact he hadn't come outside for a while now.

He pulled the cap lower and mixed with the crowd of students in the hallway, passing his bodyguards without even them noticing him.

When he came outside, he saw one of the bodyguards standing at the entrance and scanning the students leaving. He knew at once it would be impossible to leave without being noticed. He had to do something. But what was he going to do?

Then an idea hit him.

Akim went over to a group of girls and inserted himself in their middle, hugging both girls at his side at the waist.

Startled and angry at his rude manner, the girls wanted to scold him but the instant they recognized him, their appearance softened at once.

"Your high -"

"Shh," Akim pressed his finger against his lips, "Help me out please," He pleaded with them.𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
