Chapter 268

James' men dragged Tessa up an abandoned building.

Since Tessa had acrophobia, the higher she climbed, the weaker her legs felt.

The concrete structure had no railings along the stairs, and there were no safety measures in place on the upper floors. Yet, Tessa had no choice but to follow James' men up the stairs as they ascended, step by heavy step.

Tessa silently counted the floors. The person before her finally stopped when they arrived at the 26th floor. Thus, the goon keeping a hand on her also came to a halt.

Tessa pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

"Are you scared?" James smiled. "Don't worry. If you really care about him that much, I'm sure I could find it in me to allow the recital of a tragic ending of two dead lovers."
