    They couldn’t see each other in the dark room.


    william, despite Emelie’s resistance, held her close, his face buried in her neck.


    “Let’s build a good life together. Angel, from today onward, let’s be happy. I promise I won’t harm your mother. Both of you will be safe. Trust me, just one more time,” he said.


    Emelle didn’t remove her hand that was pressed firmly against his chest. She didn’t want their bodies to touch, nor did she want their hearts to align.


    She had made it clear a long time ago. This time, there would be no turning the page.


    “No,” she said, her voice resolute.


    The next morning, Ashley had just arrived at herw firm when her phone buzzed.


    It was <b>Mona</b>. “Ashley, did you say that you saw Emelie at the hospital yesterday?”!


    “Yes, she was with Mr. Middleton,” Ashley <b>said </b>as she made her way to her office.


    Mona’s voice dropped to a whisper, <b>as </b>if she was <b>sharing </b>a secret. “Listen, I did overtime at the office yesterday. It was toote, so I didn’t go home. When I finally did this morning, I found my ce had been broken into<b>!!</b>”


    Ashley’s brow furrowed. “What?”


    e just here to collect evidence<b>. </b>But whoever it was, they


    Mona felt lingering fear as she recounted the events. “Someone ransacked my apartment. I called the police, and they were j were smart. They had cut the wires to the surveince cameras.”


    “Did anything get stolen?” Ashley asked


    “I don’t think so. My gut tells me they were after something specific. They left my gold ne which was in the cab untouched. They would have seen it right away. I suspect that this break–in is connected to Eme Mona said.


    It was just a hunch, but with Emelie unreachable, Ashley <b>was </b>the only one Mona <b>could </b>turn to. “Maybe William’s keeping her prisoner? That would exin why she’s not answering her phone. The person who trashed my ce could be working for him.”


    Ashley put her hag down, took her water cup, and walked to the water dispenser. Her expression turned grim <b>as </b>she said, “It’s possible. It was obvious Emelie wanted to tell me something that day, but William wouldn’t let her speak”


    Mona dered in anger, “I’m calling the police right now! This is false imprisonment!”


    Ashley was more rational. “Calling the police might not help. After all, it’s William we’re talking about ”


    “Even if that’s the case, I have to try. If we don’t <b>do </b>something, Emellie’s on her own!” <b>Mona </b><b>said</b>.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Ashley thought about this for <b>a </b>moment <b>before </b>turning and leaning against the cab. “Since you were workingte yesterday, take the day oft. Come to thew firm, and <b>we’ll </b>file a report together.”


    <b>As </b>awyer, she had connections in the police. Ashleynew what to say to get the authorities to take action against the only heir of the most powerful family in Capebatt City.


    Mona agreed without hesitation.


    She halled <b>a </b>cab to Starlight Law Firm. When she arrived, Ashley was just hanging up the phone. “The police agreed to send officers to check out Eastbay,” Ashley <b>said</b>.


    “Let’s go together!” Mona said.


    Ashley was thinking of the same thing. “Yeah.”


    They went downstairs together in conversation. As they exited thew firm, a shout pierced the


    “Ashley!”


    Ashley looked up to see Beathan d in a sharp suit. She didn’t want to talk to him, so she just unlocked the car door and gestured for Mona to get in.


    Beathan reached out and blocked the car door. “Ashley, I need to talk to you”


    Ashley raised the phone in her hand. “I’ve called the police twice today. Are you looking to make it three times, Mr. Collins?”


    Beathan stared at her, his grip on the car door not loosening


    He was undeniably handsome, possessing a certain mature charm. After working in the legal circle for many years, apart from gaining farme, his presence had also developed.


    But things had changed. Ashley no longer loved him, and on top


    op of that, he had cheated on her. Now, when she looked at him, all she saw was a darkness that sent shivers down her spine.


    She warned again, “Let go.”
