âRiley, bad news!â
My words were abruptly halted as an underling barged in, anxiety dripping from every syllable.
âAdam caused a ruckus in the dungeon just now.
He demanded to see you and Debra.
Otherwise, heâs refusing to sign the divorce agreement.
He claimed that if he canât lay eyes on you, heâll brand you as a criminalâs wife for eternity, ensuring that Luca will never hold his head high again.
â
Riley seethed with fury, her body trembling in anger.
âThat evil man! Does he still have a shred of conscience?â
I placed a reassuring hand on Rileyâs shoulder, offering her solace.
âIt doesnât matter.
If heâs so keen on seeing us, letâs pay him a visit.
Iâm curious to know what heâs up to.
â
Reluctantly, Riley agreed.
Her shoulders slumped as she walked out of the room.
Side by side, we ventured into the damp dungeon, the sound of our footsteps reverberating through the long corridor.
Riley had transformed the dungeon, giving it a makeover.
This time, the corridor was adorned with lights, casting a bright glow.
It was clear that she had added a touch of warmth to the bleak space.
My gaze fell upon the bookshelves Lining the dungeon walls.
Various philosophical tomes graced the shelves, a testament to Rileyâs intellectual pursuits.
The dungeon was no Longer the filthy pit it once was.
I sighed internally as I processed these changes.
In the midst of the recent crisis, I had single-handedly ended Leonelâs life and injured
Marley and Collin.
The siblings had a fierce confrontation right before my eyes.
I hadnât seen Adam since then.
After walking for some time, Riley and I stopped at a secluded cell tucked away in the corner

Zoe had handpicked an ideal cell for Adam.
Despite the multitude of cells within the dungeon, sheâd chosen the dreariest one, situated in the damp corner.
Not a sliver of light entered through its tiny, barred window.
âYou two bitches!â
Before either of us could utter a word, Adam limped to the cell door, his anger palpable.
He fiercely gripped the bars and bellowed, âIâm going to kill you bot
I studied him silently, taking in his disheveled appearance.
In the heat of battle, Caleb had mercilessly pummeled Adam, Leaving him battered and covered in wounds from head to toe.
Trapped in the dreary depths of the dungeon, Adam was denied any semblance of care.
His wounds had been left unattended.
Theyâd festered and assumed a rather repulsive appearance.
I couldnât contain my satisfaction with what I had witnessed.
This man had committed a sea of crimes; he deserved what he was getting.
However, I couldnât let my personal agenda slide.
I suppressed the urge to burst into laughter and inquired earnestly, âAdam, did you conspire with outsiders to poison Gale?â
âWhat? Poison Gale?â Adamâs face scrunched up in confusion as he denied the accusation.
âI may have taken advantage of my position, tried to sell the town, and even found Lovers.
I wonât deny those things.
But poisoning Gale? I am innocent.
â
I pressed further, doubting his words.
