Chapter 188 Lucas's chest constricted as he recalled Aveline's icy demeanor. The memory left him with a lingering discomfort. He tugged at his collar, trying to ease the pressure, but it didn't help.

Stepping out of the hospital, Lucas found himself under a darkened sky. The waiting driver had already pulled up to the entrance.

Lucas got into the car and, on impulse, called Aveline's number again.

It was still turned off.

Feeling frustrated, he dialed Desmond. "Find out where Aveline is right now." Desmond replied, "Yes." An hour ago, Brian had been dragged out, battered, and bruised-all for offending Aveline. With that grim scene fresh in his mind, Lucas dared not delay the order. He knew Lucas was displeased.

Desmond's expression was serious as he instructed his team to investigate.

As their sports car zipped past a taxi, Russell's friend in the passenger seat snickered. "Hey Russ, check it out. That cab's practically smoking. What's their rush?" +18 BONUS Russell glanced over. The taxi was indeed going fast, but not as fast as their sports car. As the engine roared past, he noticed a hand at the back window of the taxi.

It was a woman's hand, delicate and pale, gripping the window tightly-something was off.

Russell didn't pay it much mind and hit the gas, catching up with the car ahead.

The group stopped at a spot on the mountain road, got out, and joked around.

Russell squinted into the distance, and for sreason, he thought of that hand again. It seemed oddly familiar. Feeling agitated, he turned and got back into his car, saying, "I have something to do. You guys go ahead." With that, the sports car roared off quickly.

Aveline felt herself slammed to the ground with crushing force. Before she could catch her breath, she was dragged forward, her arms painfully scraping against the rough surface.

When Aveline opened her eyes, she found herself inside an abandoned factory. The walls were dilapidated, and drafts cfrom all sides. Her body felt weak and limp, leaving her helpless as she was pulled along.

Darren dragged her to the interior of the factory and stopped. Noticing she had regained consciousness, he gave a cold, sinister laugh.

"Awake already? Good. The show's about to begin." +15 BONUS Aveline was covered in dust. She coughed violently a couple of times before asking, "Who are you? Why have you kidnapped me?" Initially, she had assumed she was caught up in something related to Lucas. But now it seemed this man was specifically after her.

Aveline couldn't fathom how she had offended him so gravely that he wanted her dead.

Darren grabbed a fistful of her hair and slapped her face hard. "You little wretch! How dare you forget me? If it weren't for you, I would never have been arrested!" His eyes were filled with intense hatred and murderous intent. He pulled out a knife and waved it menacingly over Aveline's body.

"I spent ten years in prison. Every single day, I thought about how killing you would be the first thing I'd do when I got out. I'll make you beg for death!" He held the knife to Aveline's face. "First, I'll ruin that pretty face of yours. Turn you into an ugly monster."

Aveline didn't dare move. Her cheek stung fiercely, and blood trickled om from the corner of her mouth. Her N breath trembled as she spoke, "I really don't know you. Who are you?" This enraged Darren even further. The person he had despised for ten long years didn't even remember who he was! How infuriating! She deserved to die! B
