Chapter 318:

Mabel’s eyes welled up with tears as she trembled. The man glanced at her and removed the gag from her mouth. “What is it you want to say? Let’s hear it,” he prompted.

Mabel broke down crying. The man found her tears amusing. He stroked his chin, observing her for a moment. It seemed that Mabel’s tears quickly bored the man, and he shifted his attention to the quiet Elyse.

He questioned, “Any ideas why I did this?”
