Half an hour later, Abel leaned back on his chair in his private interrogation room and rested his legs on the table, In front of him, Cristopher sat cowering on the wet floor.
He had passed out twice from the beatings, and the bodyguards splashed water on him to wake him Everyone knew one would suffer a horrifying end when they fell into Abelâs hands, but Cristopher did not waver from his story. He said he saw Alana lying naked and unconscious on the bed, and he could not hold back his desiresâ¦
Cristopher knew that it was better to save Alana than to confess that they had an affair.
Once Alana married Abel, she would reward him for everything he suffered today.
Iâm risking my life for you, Alana!
âMs. Lane passed out on the bed, and you know, I canât possibly resist the temptation⦠I took off my pants and did it there and then⦠Ms. Lane doesnât know anything about it. Itâs all my fault. Sheâs a victim. If you have to punish someone, you can punish meâ¦â
âMy reputation suffered for so long because of you! Tell me, how do you want to die?â Abel roared angrily.
Cristopher fell to his knees. âMr. Ryker, everyone saw you drag me away from the laboratory. It wonât look good on you if I died. You wouldnât want to ruin the reputation of your family, right?â
can make you wish you were dead!â Abel slammed the table. âBeat him up again!â
âMr. Ryker!â Cristopher crawled toward Abel. âIf I had known you had feelings for Ms. Lane, Iâd rather chop off my member than lay a finger on her! Please spare my worthless life, Mr. Rykerâ¦â
âWho told you I had feelings for Alana?â
âDonât you?â
âOf course not!â
âThen thereâs no point torturing me any further, Abel smirked. âTch, you sure I donât see him ever again!â
Abel was incredibly frustrated His original plan was to wait until Alana gave Things had gone horribly wrong. Not only also shown that Cristopher had violated Alana because of him.
She was a victim in the entire How was he going to face her from now on?
There were certain things he could not say.
He could not tell Struyria that Alana had been violated by someone else and that the baby was not his.
That would make him seem like a scumbag Argh! This is bullsh*t! Abel punched the wall hard.
Paint flakes fell off the whitewashed wall of the underground parking seen where Abel had punched the wall.
âDonât hurt yourself, Mr. Ryker.
âHow many punches can you take?â Abel asked coldly.
â⦠Not many!â
âGo to the Imperial Palace with me.â
âThe Imperial Palace?â Luca thought he had misheard.
He could never expect Abel would want to willingly go to that chaotic place.
âI want to have a drink.â
âYes, Mr. Ryker!â Luca quickly went to get the car.
Abel did not have a habit of drinking. He must be feeling incredibly frustrated now.
**
A drink once in a while is fine. Itâs better than keeping it all inside, I guess.
Abel did not request a private room at the Imperial Palace. He sat at the bar counter and ordered a glass of beer.
Luca sat next to him and watched him chug glass after glass.
Several bodyguards were patrolling behind Abel and Luca.
Two âprincessesâ in flamboyant clothing came over to Abel and asked, âHey! Do you want some company? Thereâs no charge!â
Luca frowned. âThereâs no charge?â
