Chapter 20
Back in the country, Bradley had exhausted every resource he had, yet there was no trace of Alice. He had no idea that she had alry and a tetej
Now, all he could do was sit on the couch, staring blankly at the divorce papers she had left behind.
He had no clue how to win Alice back. He couldn’t even find her. He didn’t know what else he could do.
For the first time in a long while, a rare sense of panic crept into his heart.
Zachary walked in and immediately noticed the defeated look on his face.
“Maisy’s parents showed up at my place. They’re making a fins, saying they can’t find her. They want our help tracking her down.”
“Well, it makes sense. Their daughter is missing, of course, they’d be worried. After all, she’s their flesh and blood. Familles should be together, don’t you think so?”
Bradley’s voice was calm, as if he were discussing nothing more than a few corpses.
Before long, Daniel was dragged in by a group of bodyguards.
“Let me go! Do you idiots even know who I am? Daniel shouted while thrashing against their grip.
The guards ignored him completely and forced him into the room.
It wasn’t until Daniel saw Bradley that his arrogance faded. Instantly, he switched to a fauming expression and asked, “What’s going on here, Bradley? Did you and Maisy have an argument?
“Keira and I have been going crazy looking for her. Keira’s so worried she’s fallen ill. Do you know where Maisy is? Is she hiding because she’s upset with you or Zac?
Looking at Daniel’s timid demeanor in front of him, Bradley suddenly recalled that day when Maisy had fallen down the stairs on her own. Daniel had blamed Alice and formed her hand into scalding hot water, ruining her ability to paint forever.
He had never cared about Alice. But now, here he was, fassing over Maisy.
Rage swelled inside Bradley. He folded the divorce papers in his hand as a cruel smile stretched across his face
“Daniel, you want to see your daughter? Well, you’re in luck. She’s been here with me this whole time. She hasn’t been eating much lasly, though. I’ve been trying anything to get her appetite back. Maybe she just misses her family. That’s probably why she’s lost her appetite. Come with me.”
“Oh, Bradley, 1 koven you wouldn’t let anything happen to Mality. You should’ve told us sooner! Knowing she’s in your care, we wouldn’t have worried ourselves sick looking for
As Denied sad the, Bradley led him to the basement. Even before the door opened, a strange, putrid stench seeped through, instinctively making him want to back any
it was only then that Daniel sensed something was wrong. His steps faltered slightly.
Sensing his reactance, the bodyguards didn’t give him a choice. They showed him forward.
As soon as the Goor swing open, Daniel was met with the horrifying sight of Maisy. She was barely clothed, and her body was shackled by bon chains on either side. Beneath her. a thick layer of filth had accented, filing the air with a namazing viench.
