GoodReadThe irritation in Alexander's voice was palpable. "Do you not comprehend my words?" he snapped.
Soren recoiled, a visible shiver running down his neck. "Understood," he murmured, his voice barely above a
whisper. He dared not utter another word and promptly ended the call.
In the solitude of his office, Alexander fiddled with his tie before abruptly pulling it off and tossing it onto his
desk. The force of his action caused two buttons to pop off.
Just then, a knock echoed through the room and Landon entered. His gaze fell on the discarded tie and he
queried, "Alexander, has something disagreeable occurred?"
Leaning back in his chair, Alexander lit a cigarette and looked up at Landon. His demeanor was tranquil, as if his
previous outburst was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. "What kind of unpleasant news are you hoping to
hear?" he retorted. Landon adjusted his glasses and replied, "I have no desire to hear anything unpleasant."
"Then why did you inquire?" Alexander shot back, his voice laced with impatience.
Landon was momentarily taken aback before apologizing, "I shouldn't have pried." He then handed over some
documents, "There are two documents requiring your signature."
"Leave them here," Alexander instructed.
Landon complied, placing the documents on the desk. He said nothing more and turned to leave. Alexander
watched his retreating figure, his eyes narrowing before he abruptly extinguished his cigarette.

"Alexander," Soren called out, quickly standing up.
Alexander's response was cold and indifferent. He cast a casual glance at Soren, "Still in there?"
Soren nodded, "Yes, it's been two days. I've replaced her meals three times today." As he spoke, he gestured
towards the nearby tray, indicating his efforts.
Alexander bypassed him and approached the door. He attempted to turn the knob, but it wouldn't budge. He
stepped back, "Break it open."
Two burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward, their boots making quick work of the door lock. After
several forceful kicks, the bedroom door swung open. Had the door not been so robust, it might have been
completely dislodged.

As the door began to swing shut, a man extended his long fingers to stop it. He pushed the door open and slowly
entered the room. Soren quickly followed, tray in hand.
Inside, Quinn was huddled on the bed, clutching her tattered bag. Her back was turned to the door, seemingly
oblivious to the intrusion.
The man helped her sit up. Her pale
