Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 610

In the luxury suite of a wedding hotel.

Bryce's face was a mask of dark fury as he dialed Wade's number, his voice tinged with bitterness. "I need you to send a squad of mercenaries from Emperor City right now. I want Ludwik dead!" "It's not the right time yet."

Wade's voice was calm and firm in refusal. "Mr. Lutz, we haven't reached the opportune moment to strike. Ludwik has just left Emperor City after all this trouble.

You need to think this through. If you want to achieve greatness, patience is key. You've held back for so long already; this is no different."

"But he took my wife!" Bryce could hardly maintain his composure, growling like a beast. "He ruined my wedding. Who knows what he'll do to her today?"

"And what will your wife think of you if you chase after him with a bunch of hired guns now?

From what I understand, Whitney is clueless about your dealings in Emperor City. Would she start doubting you? And Ludwik, would he find out I'm backing you?"

Wade's voice turned colder, his words a veiled threat. "Besides, if Whitney ever finds out about your scheme with Florence, using the child to force her into marriage, do you think she'd ever forgive you?" The words hit Bryce like a bucket of ice water, choking him.

Florence knew, Wade knew.

But Whitney must never find out!

His fingers tightened around his phone, nearly crushing it, his gaze icy.

Wade chuckled dismissively, his mockery and promises weaving a tapestry of pain and madness within Bryce.

Finally, with gritted teeth, Bryce smashed the phone as if it were Ludwik himself.

Fine... he would wait, just a few more days.

Ludwik, your reckoning is coming. I'll make you wish for death.

Looking into the ornate mirror, Bryce saw his twisted, dark eyes, devoid of any joy.
