It was only after a painstaking examination that she began to notice a vital discrepancy.


    Matthew’s eyes were closed throughout.


    It was as though he was not entirely sober, implying that someone had seized the opportunity to manipte him in that vulnerable state.


    The glimmer of realization washed over her, and for the first time in hours, she allowed herself to breathe.

    He struggled to discern his assant, but before he could react, his face met the cold, unforgiving wall, leaving a grotesque trail of blood in its wake.


    Painnced through Alex’s senses as he cried out in agony, pleading, “Who is it? Let me go… Ah…”


    Before he couldplete his plea, his tormentor pressed his face against the wall once more, intensifying the searing pain.


    He gasped and spluttered, blood trickling down his forehead, obscuring his vision.


    The agony rendered him speechless.


    Alex coughed crazily, tasting the blood in his mouth.


    His arrogance faded away.
