Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 609

Ludwik narrowed his frosty eyes, glancing over her cocktail dress and stilettos before striking a fierce blow to the back of her neck.

She collapsed, and with practiced ease, he gently lifted her into his arms.

Keegan watched in horror, witnessing Ludwik's descent into madness. Shaking with rage and coughing up blood, he bellowed, "Ludwik! Enough is enough. Do you see how many journalists are here? They've captured every move you've made. Aren't you afraid of your family back in Emperor City finding out?

Sure, you're tough, and you can take Whitney away, but have you thought about your reputation as the top bachelor of Harmonia Country?

Whitney is a married woman! Your reckless disregard for the law will ruin your future, and the Lippert family will be despised worldwide!"

Tiana chimed in, "Ludwik, come to your senses. Whitney is no longer yours!"

She pleaded desperately, "Can you just let her go? Whitney isn't an object; she's a living person with the right to choose and to end love. Can't you accept her decision?

Mr. Doonan said he's already seen the news about you in Emperor City. Imagine what your father, grandmother, and mother would think?"

Ludwik was unmoved, his expression steely as he declared, "No one can stop me today.

Anyone who tries, dies."

Holding Whitney as if she were a precious treasure, he uttered these terrifying words with a surprisingly tender tone.

"I won't let you get away with this! Give me back my wife!"

Bryce's face turned beet red as he yelled, but he was pinned to the ground by Ashton's men, unable to move.

Ludwik glanced back at him, calmly instructing his bodyguards, "Since Mr. Lutz is so unwilling, tie up his parents and bring them to my plane."

"Ludwik, you dare! You'll pay for this!" Bryce screamed, his face a portrait of fury.

His fingers dug into his palms, wondering how, even now, he was still beneath Ludwik's boot.

As Bryce's parents were quickly subdued by the bodyguards and forced to follow Ludwik, Bryce felt utterly powerless.

Ludwik passed by the stunned guests, coldly warning the Lutz family, "You better keep today's events to yourselves.
