Chapter 268


    Listening to Callum’s words, Lexi felt a wave of sadness washing over her Yeah, he had imprisoned her


    merely to keep her quiet. He didn’t care about her well being


    if she died, it would be just what he wanted


    But was death the only escape from this dreadful room?


    “Please let me go. I’m on the verge of a mental breakdown Les begoed fears streaming down her face


    Although you provide me with gourmet meats and designer clothes, all I crave is freedom. Please let


    me go What happened that night it was a mistake Lowest, I’ll never tell anyone I promise?”


    Despite Lexi’s pleading Callum was determined not to let her leave. He coldly looked at Leo Tm sorry,


    but I can’t trust you Human hearts am unpredictatte Who knows how you might change in the future?:


    With that Callum turned and walked slowly towards the door. In here. I can provide you with everything


    you want, anything you want to eat wear or


    But Callum hadn’t taken two steps before he heard Rita gasp. “Oh my God


    Callum turned around to see Lex with a knife in her hand a deep cut on her wrist, and blood pooling on


    the floor


    “Call the doctor Callum panicked He had thought Lexi was just being dramatic, he didn’t think that this


    gentle girl would be so rash

    Rita nodded and bolted for the door, almost colliding with the doorframe


    Callum moved towards Lex, extending his hand, trying to soothe her “Give me the knife, sweetheart”


    Lex: shook her head her face twisted in a bitter smile. “No If my body can’t be free, at least let my soul


    be*


    As Lex moved to cut herself again, seeing the fresh blood pooling around her wrist, Callum felt a sharp


    pain in his heart. He quickly promised, “Stop, don’t do this (ca. 1 promise


    Lexis mind was on the brink of copse. She stared at Callum “You would really let me go?”


    “Yes, I swear I won’t keep you here anymore Callum promised slowly moving closer to Lexi


    Lex didn’t notice Callums approach. She looked out the window Her eyes were filled with longing for


    freedom. In that fleeting moment of distraction, Callum seized the opportunity. He grabbed Lexi’s wrist


    disarming her and holding her firmly


    She screamed in despair “Liar You never intended to let me go! Kill me! Kill me!”


    Callum struck her neck, knocking her unconscious. The doctor arrived just in time to see Lexi copse


    in Callum’s arms.


    “Duke thedy has cut an artery Luckily, she didn’t hit a vein, or the consequences would have been


    dire


    Callum looked down at the unconscious Lexi, guilt washing over him. “Treat het immediately, no matter


    the cost


    Watching Lex lying on the bed lifeless, Callum felt remorse He had to reconsider how he should treat


    Lex


    Perhaps he had made a mistake?


    When Lex woke up, she felt a heavy pounding in her head Worse than her headache was the burning


    pain in her wrist. This agonizing pain had woken her up from her dee sleep She opened her eyes


    slowly, filled with despair. Not only was she imprisoned, but she couldn’t even die


    Tears streamed down her face as she noticed a figure slumped beside her bed. She turned her head


    and saw Callum, his brow furrowed even in sleep


    Despite everything Callum was undoubtedly handsome His deep–set features and sensual lips made


    him an ideal husband Given his high–profile stature, if it wasn’t for the absurd soap opera–like mishap


    that urred between them, their paths probably would have never crossed in this lifetime


    But s they were never meant to be a happy ever after


    This exceptional man mistook her for Natalia took advantage of her, and even restricted her freedom,


    all out of fear that she might spill the beans to the real Natalia.


    On the irony


    “You can’t have what you love”
