She started the car's engine and raised the speed of the car as she sped out of the compound and onto the road. Her hands trembled on the steering wheel and she sniffed as uncontrollable tears fell from her eyes, which had become red as a result of crying hard. Her body shuddered, and she turned her head to glance at Adepe when she heard a low, painful groan from him. Her heart squeezed within her as she saw the amount of pain he was going through. This was all to protect and save her! She cursed herself in her heart and reached out her hand to grab him while controlling the steering wheel with her left. "Please do-don't leave me." She whispered and returned her eyes to the road ahead of them.*****The gate to the mansion pulled open, and she hurriedly drove in and parked the car. She stepped down and yelled for the bodyguards to give her a helping hand, and they rushed to her. They assisted her haul Adepe out of the car, and with both his hands placed on their shoulders, they he

Loreen walked straight to the dining room and met Adepe , seated on the head chair at the dining table with food placed in front of him. Her eyes fluttered as pain could be seen, suddenly appearing in them. Why? She had put her all into making that breakfast for him, but he rejected it. She raised her eyes and glanced at the maids standing beside Adepe , including Rita, and her pitch-black pupils viciously glared at them, indirectly telling them to get the fuck out. They nodded actively and hurriedly rushed out of the dining room. Loreen strolled to the table and pulled out a chair, then sat down on it.She interlocked her hands and stared at Adepe while he ate his food. "Ehem!" She cleared her throat to grab his attention, but he ignored her. He grabbed a cup of water to drink. However, her solemn voice sounded, halting him. "I am sorry."He raised his eyes to glance at her, and they blinked lazily when they saw the downcast expression on her face. He placed the glass cup on his

   The shadow took two steps back as a result of the impact and coughed slightly. He patted off the dust on his body and adjusted his clothing.Alex raised his eyes, and his face darkened the moment they fell on the silhouette. His hands balled into tight fists and trembled. "Nirmolak!" His cold, chilly voice blended in with the wind howling around them as he gazed at a fine young man whose short hair was neatly combed back and brown flawless skin draped in white clothing.The shadow, who was naturally Nirmolak, shrugged and grinned with a leisurely look on his face. "Alex, it's been so long." He smirked as his pitch-black pupils stared at Alex, who was panting heavily as he slowly returned to his human form. "How have you been?"To calm himself down, Alex took a deep breath and brushed his hair back

"I want you to hold me like you used to, please." She curdled in closer to him and sniffed, making Adepe realize that she was crying.His eyes flickered in confusion and he glanced at her. "Please, just hold me! I want to sleep in your arms, please." Loreen poured out everything she wanted to say without even knowing it. At this moment, she wasn't even listening to herself, but the only thing she was clear of was that she wanted him to hold her. She needed his comfort. She felt completely alone and empty.She sniffed and sobbed silently. Her eyes flickered when she felt no reaction from Adepe , and she proceeded to move closer to him, but her hand accidentally nudged on Adepe 's injury and his face grimaced a bit. She drew back immediately and glanced up at him. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to." She apologized and immediately turned around to avoid his expressionless gaze.Her low whimpers flew into Rick's ear, and his stern face instantly became tender. He let out a soft sigh and

The men nodded and clasped a long chain around her wrists, then fastened them to either side of the tall rod affixed to the floor, her hands spread to each side.They pulled out a full bucket of cold water and poured it on her, causing Lady Cathryn to raise her head with her eyes dilated and inhale sharply as though she was at a loss of breath."You wanted to spell the death of my woman, my beloved wife, the only thing that I cherish in life..." Adepe tskd and relaxed comfortably on his silver seat. He interlocked his hands and glanced at Alex with his destructive sword-shaped eyes.Alex slightly bowed and turned to the two men. He waved at them, then took a deep breath as he stepped back.With a long whip-like chain that had tiny steel spikes on its body, the two men swallowed hard and raised it with slight concern in their eyes. The chain bashed Lady Cathryn's skin without mercy, and a scream of pain escaped her lips and unbearable tears welled up in her eyes.Another round of wh
