Mitchel remained silent, allowing Katie’s desperate cries to echo around them.


    The louder Katie screamed, the more Lorenzo believed she was trying to clear her own name.


    Clearly, she understood his way of operating, which exined her palpable fear.


    After all, they had coborated on several asions.


    The two men in ck subdued Mitchel easily, partly because Mitchel did not attempt to resist, recognizing that this was not the moment to fight.


    Katie’s recent revtions have forced changes to many previouslyid ns.


    Previously fearless, Mitchel realized he wasn’t prepared to meet his end so suddenly.


    ording to Luis, he had only two months left to live.


    With the recent knowledge of Raegan’s pregnancy, he contemted using the medicine provided by Katie to extend his life slightly, just long enough to witness the birth of his children and pass away without regrets.


    However, he would not disturb Raegan.


    He nned to observe from a discreet distance, satisfied as long as she remained unharmed.


    This motivation strengthened Mitchel’s determination to assist the special forces in apprehending Lorenzo.


    Ensuring Lorenzo’s capture was crucial for the safety of Raegan and their children.


    Mitchel had already worked with the special forces to implement n A for capturing Lorenzo, but Lorenzo was shrewd.


    Lorenzo’s reach extended deeper than they had realized, cleverly managing to nt explosives at the venue right under the noses of the special forces.


    Additionally, as soon as Lorenzo and his men entered, Mitchel’smunication with the special forces through a hidden earpiece was cut off, suggesting they were using jamming devices.


    Mitchel watched Lorenzo closely, understanding that wouldn’t kill Katie right then and there, but he also wouldn’t dy for long.


    Lorenzo approached Katie, bent down slightly, and courteously took her hand and ki*sed it softly.


    “Miss Glyn, I never thought we’d meet again like this,” he said.


    Katie urgently said, “Listen, Lorenzo, don’t do anything rash.


    I’m not the woman he loves.


    This is all a setup to trick you.


    ”


    Lorenzo ignored her frantic pleas entirely.


    He was an incredibly arrogant man.


    Once he had decided on something, no argument could change his mind, and he firmly believed in acting decisively rather than risking letting someone escape.


    Thus, the gentle tone Lorenzo used just moments before turned sinister instantly.


    “Click!” In a terrifying disy, Lorenzo snapped five of Katie’s fingers.


    “Ah! Ah!” Katie’s screams nearly broke the windows and seemed to reach the ceiling.


    Lorenzo then signaled to a man in ck, who promptly brought out a hammer and two long nails.


    To keep up the charade, Mitchel, his face ghostly white, seemingly a picture of deep concern for Katie, yelled, “What are you trying to do? Don’t hurt her.


    I won’t let you hurt her!”


    Pain silenced Katie, her face etched with shock and fear.


    Lorenzo responded to Mitchel’s plea with even greater madness in torturing Katie.


    He positioned a nail against Katie’s foot and raised the hammer dramatically.


    “Ah!” Katie’s scream filled the room, a genuine cry of excruciating pain.


    When the hammer struck, Katie felt like it directly hit her heart.


    Her well-maintained face twisted, showing an expression of grotesque fear.


    The intense pain made her almost bite through her tongue.


    But she restrained herself.


    Instead, she bit her arm to endure the agony.


    It was not that Katie didn’t want to exin.


    But Lorenzo was too fast.


    He was ruthlessly efficient in tormenting a person.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    The entire process was fast and precise, giving her no chance to speak.
