In a burst of frustration, I kicked open the study door, exited the villa, and headed for the prison of the condemned.
The facility seemed Like a forsaken place, shunned and overlooked by the world.
The area where condemned prisoners were held remained shrouded in darkness year-round, the air thick with turbidity.
Despite the presence of patrolling prison guards, an unmistakable scent of death hung in the air.
The atmosphere was saturated with the dampness and metallic tang of blood.
Eager to enter, I was confronted by several guards.
âAlpha, you canât enter!â
Clearly, they were aware of my intention to liberate Brian.
âGet out of my way!â I had no interest in anything else, I simply wanted to see Brian as quickly as possible.
Without hesitation, I forcefully pushed aside the guards blocking my path.
In the presence of all, fear gripped them, causing a collective step back in horror.
Their voices trembling as they tried to stop me.
âAlpha, please, calm down.
â
âAlpha, please think about it.
Whatâs the point of forcibly taking Brian away? Your father will undoubtedly bring him back.
â
âAlpha, if you donât calm down, youâll harm Brian.

But I paid no heed to their pleas.
It wasnât until I reached Brianâs cell, forcefully removing all the prison guards, that I suppressed my anger and addressed him, âBrian, come out.
I need to talk to you urgently.
â
Wearing a calm expression, Brian responded, âPlease go back, Caleb.
Iâve accepted your fatherâs decision.
Thereâs no need for further discussion.
Making a scene will only have negative consequences.
â
My head buzzed, and breathing became a struggle.
âDo you expect me to stand by and watch you die Like this?â
Brian sighed.
âBut what can you achieve by making things worse? We still canât reveal Debraâs identity, and even initiating a new investigation into our berserk incident is impractical.
Caleb, this is a dead end.
Thereâs nothing we can do.
â
Debraâs POV:
It was really dark, and dark clouds rolled like waves in the sky.
Flashes of lightning cut through the clouds like sharp blades, lighting up the dark sky.
Then came the rumbles.
Loud thunder boomed through the sky, echoing between heaven and earth Like an accusation.
After the lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured down.
Raindrops hit the roof and windows hard, making a powerful sound.
Standing on the balcony, I saw Calebâs car stop in front of the villa.
He got out alone, looking lost.
Holding an umbrella, he seemed completely absent-minded.
He walked slowly, almost disappearing into the rain.
My heart sank.
It seemed he couldnât save Brian.
