Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 546

Florence felt a surge of confidence within her. Did Ludwik really think their relationship had met its end? No. It hadn't. A sly smile flickered across her lips, almost imperceptible. "Ludwik's already waiting for you inside, don't dawdle or you'll regret it!" warned the bodyguard, someone from Parker's crew who deeply despised this cunning girl.

Creak- The moment the villa's grand door swung open, Florence caught sight of Ludwik, lounging casually with his legs crossed. He seemed like the Grim Reaper waiting for her, his eyes devoid of emotion, filled only with contempt and hostility. Her composure vanished, replaced by a look of bewildered vulnerability as she stood at the doorway, "Ludwik, why have you brought me here?"

Ludwik lifted his gaze, exhaling smoke, and said calmly, "Isn't this place perfect for you? You've got a price to pay for what you've done." His voice was chilling, sinister to the core.

Florence was afraid, indeed. Facing him alone, his every glance sent shivers down her spine. She feigned bravery, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ludwik, what have I done? I've just saved your mother, I don't understand, what price do you want me to pay? I've kept my promise to you. You promised we would start a family together, are you breaking your word now?"

Ludwik sneered, standing up tall and approaching her. Without even a gesture, Florence already felt his icy grip around her neck!

"Ah..."

In the haze of smoke, his cold gaze lightly brushed with a sinister edge, "Would my mother have gotten leukemia without you? Women like you deserve the harshest punishments! Enjoy your stay; your good days are here."

she stared at his cold, handsome face, denying vehemently, "I don't understand what you mean. Did my sister say something to you? Ludwik, I didn't...you were the one who found me and
