Love Unspoken

Moreover, the ex-wife... Truth be told, even if she is an ex-wife, she remains Alexander's former spouse, branded with his label. Who would dare to take her hand in marriage? Isn't that a direct defiance against Alexander? Alexander chuckled lightly, lacking warmth in his smile. "Seems like William won't be able to bring the young lord back."

William hesitated momentarily before exclaiming hastily, "I can bring him back! Tomorrow, I will personally retrieve him, leaving him at Alexander's disposal!"

"No need," Alexander rose to his feet, stating softly, "I will ensure he is returned, personally."

William's heart raced, panic etching onto his face. "Alexander..."

Without intending to continue the conversation, Alexander walked out of the villa, not casting another glance at William.

Meanwhile, Orion had already driven a considerable distance with Quinn, soon approaching the highway. As they queued at the tollbooth, Orion's mind began to waver once more. Unsure of the rightness or wrongness of his decision, he found himself unable to turn back now.

Quinn turned to him and could naturally perceive the conflict written on his face. Extending her hand, she tugged at Orion's sleeve.

Orion turned to her.

Quinn gestured, "If you leave, what will happen to your parents?"

Lips pressed tight, Orion found himself at a loss for words.

Quinn continued, "How about we go back then?"

Conflicted and vexed, Orion found his thoughts in disarray. These complexities had not crossed his mind before marriage, yet now they weighed heavily, suffocating him.

As the car ahead cleared, Orion drove numbly towards the tollbooth.

Noticing his distraction, Quinn fell silent, her gaze dropping.

At that moment, Orion's phone rang.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Hello, Sebastian, why are you calling me?"

To his surprise, there was no response from the other end. "Sebastian?"

Two seconds later, a magnetic voice spoke through the phone, "Orion, it appears my words have not been heeded."

It was Alexander's voice!

Orion's expression shifted abruptly. "Alexander! How do you have Sebastian's phone? What have you done to him?!"

Upon hearing his name, Quinn's eyes widened in shock.

"Orion, don't be alarmed. I simply wish to play a game with you."

"What... what do you want?"

After a moment's pause, Alexander spoke slowly, "Let's make a comparison. Let's see if you arrive first or if your dear brother meets his end." Orion's eyes widened, gripping the phone tightly, he yelled into the receiver, "Alexander, don't you dare do anything rash! Don't touch him!" Amused, Alexander casually remarked, "Who was the one being rash first?"

"Then starting now, every ten minutes, I'll sever a finger from your dear brother. If he loses too much blood and perishes, then I'll switch to... this David." Orion, trembling, held onto the phone, overwhelmed by fear. This man was a lunatic!

In the brief moments of shock, Orion heard Sebastian's anguished cries through the phone.

His eyes ablaze with fury, Orion completely panicked, "Sebastian!"

Amidst Sebastian's cries, there echoed a voice akin to a demon's.

"Orion, the game has begun."
