The secretary succumbed to the s@xual tension and let out a soft moan.
âHmmâ¦â She boldly took his hand, placed it on her plump bosom, and whispered, âMr.
Brooks, take meâ¦â
âUghâ¦â Henley smirked and suddenly tightened his grip on the secretaryâs neck.
Feeling suffocated, the secretary realized something was terribly wrong.
In a panic, she flailed and tried to break free.
However, Henleyâs grip only tightened.
The secretaryâs eyes rolled back, and desperate sounds escaped her throat.
Just before the brink of death, Henley forcefully shoved the secretary away, who hit the sharp edge of the office desk with a loud thud.
The next second, blood gushed from the back of her head.
Henleyâs eyes appeared as though they were tainted by the most fearsome hellfire.

In the detention center of Ardlens, Nicole was confined in a solitary room.
It was pitch black, making it impossible to tell day from night.
She had lost track of time.
Before being put in this room, doctors had treated her arm.
She had three broken ribs, but thankfully, they hadnât punctured her pleura or lung.
Rest and avoiding strenuous activity were vital for her recovery.
However, her frail physical state made self-healing seemed unlikely.
Despite these circumstances, her life wasnât entirely miserable.
Meals here were served regularly, and she was left undisturbed.
Most importantly, she was away from Jarrod, the devil himself, which brought her some peace.
Missing her parents, Nicole wondered how Jarrod planned to handle her.
