“We’ll reap the rewands, bul” bila seftly chuckled “We need to add some fuel to the fur to make sure she’s finished for gos).”
Enghenda Limmediately asked, “What are you planning? Don’t do anything reckless, he careful not to end up hosting yourself instead ”
“Relax 1 law what I’m doing
Meanwhile, inside the speeding Bentley, Samuel leaned against the seat ashis body bumed with the e
effects of the dog.
It felt like a full blade was slicing through him, slow and tortuous. His white dress shitt was unbuttoned at the top, revealing his sculpted chest.
Logan stole a glance at Samuel through the rearview mpnos. His beait tightened as he said, “Mr. Vance, this isn’t something that can just wear off. Should we stop bea hospital first
Just drive Lastet,” Samuel simply replied.
“Yes.” Logan immediately shifted gears and floored the DAK
By the time they arrived at Starlight summit, it was already late.
The mountai
ids were too steep for cars, so Samuel had no choice but to get out and contine on foot.
He climbed the stone steps leading to the sanctuary while Logan tollowed closely behind, lighting the way with a flashlight
What should have been a 30–minute trek stretched to nearly an hour due to the darkness and the slippery paths left behind by the earlier rain.
The surroundings were pitch black too, and the only sounds came from chirping insects.
“Knock.” Samuel ondered.
“Yes, Mr. Vance Logan stepped forward and pounded on the heavy wooden doors.
It took a while before someone finually answered the door.
There, a young man in traditional robes yawned as he opened the door, his face g
groggy with sleep. “The sanctuary is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. We don’t accept visitors at this hour
“We’re not visitors,” Logansponded. “We’re here for Ms. Clark”
Behind him, Samuel stood with his usual ice–cold expression, his imposing aura making it hard for anyone to even breathe.
The young man instinctively shrank back and suddenly became much more awake. “Are you Kyls” friends?
So,” Samuel snapped, his voice unexpectedly sharp. “I’m her husband.”
Logan nearly choked.
How much had Samuel actually drunk to say something like that?
Everyone at the sanctuary knew that Kylie had gone into the city earlier that day, but no one had ever heard anything about her being manted.
The man hesitated for a moment before nodding. “In that case, come inside tust.”
Samuel strode in with the air of a prince surveying his kingdom. “Where is she?
The man pointed to a duection. “Over there.”
A short distance away, a single room reinained lit.
When they reached the door, Logan wisely stopped outside, not wanting to get in the way.
Samuel knocked lightly. The effects of the drug lad mostly worn off now
When he heard a triponse from inside, he pushed the door opens
The moment he stepped in, his entire body froze when he saw that there were two people inside the room
His dark eyes instantly tuned story, and his expression was as cold as death itself. A suffocating, bone chilling rige emanated from him, enough to make anyone shudder
Kylie turned to look at samurl.
He stood there in his tailored blacksuit with an air of pure fury surrounding him like a dark cloud. It was as if he had descended from the heavens with a suffocating presence, and calling Kylie’s body to the bone.
Soon, she snapped out of her shock and quickly stood up from the flour mat. “What are you doing here late at night?”
“If I hadn’t come, I would’ve missed quite the spectacle, wouldn’t 1 Samuel weird with anger boiling from deep down.
“It’s not what you think – Kylie hurried to explain herself
But Samuel’s icy gaze had already darkened, filled with frigid contempt.
He had already come up with an
tan assumption, hadn’t he?
Did he think that her so–called “herb gathering” was just an excuse to secretly meet Owen?
