Chapter 177

Alex’s POV

The stench hit me first. It was of sweat, iron, and damp stone curled in my nostrils as I stepped into the holding area. The guard hesitated as he unlocked the last cell, throwing me a look that might’ve been a warning, but I didn’t care. My focus was fixed on the man inside.

Daniel.

He sat there, sprawled across the narrow cot like he was lounging in some high–end club instead of rotting in a jail cell. His face was a patchwork of bruises and cuts, courtesy of either the officers or someone who shared my sentiment about him. Yet, for all his injuries, he still looked insufferably arrogant. That smirk tugged at the corner of his swollen lip like he had just won a round no one else realized was happening.

I gritted my teeth and stepped forward, my hands tightening into fists at my sides. “You look comfortable,” I said, my voice cold, cutting. “Considering you’re sitting in the only place you deserve to be.”

Daniel slowly lifted his head, his bloodshot eyes meeting mine. That damned smirk widened. “Well, look who it is. The knight in shining armor. Come to gloat, Alex?” His voice was a slow drawl, mocking and dripping with disdain. “Or maybe just to remind yourself that you’re still her favorite hero?”

him push me, he’d win in some twisted way. “You’re disgusting,” I said, my voice low but laced with pure

head tilting lazily against the wall, as if he were bored. “Oh, spare me the moral lecture, Alex. You think you’re so righteous, don’t you? But let’s be real…you’re the reason she was in that position in

stomach twisted at his words, but I didn’t back down. “You really

know it,” he snapped, his smugness giving way to raw anger. “She was starting to feel something for me, Alex. Something real. But you…” He jabbed a finger in my direction, his face contorting with rage. “You couldn’t stand it. You had to force your way back
