GoodReadThe tension in Getty's fingers was palpable as they clenched her purse. She would be deceiving herself if she
claimed the desire to flee was absent. Yet, the frosty visage of Alexander, flashing in her mind's eye, swiftly
extinguished any such inclination. However, she found herself unable to relinquish her hold. Love, she mused,
was a truly terrifying entity.
A wry smile tugged at the corners of Getty's lips as she resigned herself to her fate. It appeared that in this
lifetime, she was irrevocably ensnared in his clutches.
Upon departing the complex, Alexander made a beeline for home. However, his destination was not his
customary residence at Riverside Court, but a secluded villa on Midhill Lane. This villa, usually devoid of life save
for the caretakers, was unusually bustling with additional guards that day.
The security guard stationed at the entrance immediately recognized Alexander's car and respectfully swung the
gate open, his gaze following the retreating vehicle. Once the car had disappeared from sight, he promptly
secured the iron gate
once more.
Alexander brought his car to a halt in front of one of the villas. His aide, Sean Vance, promptly rushed over to
open the car door for him.
"Alexander."
"Where is he?"
"Inside," Sean responded hastily, leading the way not through the villa, but around to the backyard.
The backyard served as a haven for pets, which were allowed to roam freely within an enclosure at night and
confined during the day. This was where Walter was supposed to be held captive.
Sean had initially planned to intimidate Walter by throwing him into a cage with the animals, hoping the fear

However, when they arrived at the backyard, they were met with a starkly different scene. A group of hounds
were huddled in a corner, their bodies forming a makeshift bed for Walter. On a chilly night like this, the warmth
radiating from the dogs was a welccomfort.
Walter lay sprawled out, his hands cushioning his head, seemingly either resting his eyes or asleep. The sight
turned Sean's complexion ashen, his gaze darting nervously to Alexander standing beside him.
"Alexander, this..." He trailed off, unable to complete his sentence, taken aback by the undignified sight of the
dogs.
"That beast's good for nothing. Just kill it." Alexander's words were flippant as he pushed the gate open and
sauntered in.
The dogs, picking up on his scent, began to rise one by one, their eyes trained on him.
Even the ones serving as Walter's makeshift pillow stirred, nearly causing Walter to tumble to the ground.
Fortunately, he managed to steady himself in time.
Upon seeing Alexander approach, Walter chuckled, "I should've known it was you, Oliver."
The dogs scattered, clearing a path for Alexander.
He cto a halt in front of Walter, his gaze looking down at him from above, "Only you could find a reason to
laugh when death is so close."
Walter responded with a nonchalant laugh, "Is that so? Then why don't you just kill me?"
"Letguess, it's because of Quinn?"
"So you did find out about her identity, what are we going to do now?" Walter taunted, his tone light and joking,
seemingly unafraid of the impending doom at Alexander's hands. Alexander didn't engage in the banter. He
squatted down in front of Walter, a smirk playing on his lips, "There are many ways to torture a man, not all of
them involve killing." "I see. So, what do you have planned for my torture?"
"I'll have to put sthought into that," Alexander responded, his tone as casual as if they were engaged in idle
chatter, "Perhaps we can start with physical castration, how's that sound?"

Walter's smile faltered momentarily but he quickly recovered, his laughter strained, "That's quite brutal."
"You seem to like the idea, so... Vincent!"
Vincent, summoned, promptly strode over. "Alexander?"
