Love Unspoken

Chapter 1299

In a dimly lit room, the door creaked open, and two men strolled in.

Alexander, chilling in the corner, made his chains rattle.

His face was lost in the shadows, with just a few beams of sunlight from the skylight hitting his shoulders. His clothes were smeared with dried, dark brown blood. Dust swirled in the light.

The two guys walked up to him. One of them looked down at him all smug and said, "You're pretty famous. No wonder he was so desperate to find you." Alexander on the floor slowly lifted his head, his eyes cold. He raised his hand and jangled the chain on his wrist, like he was playing with some fancy bracelet. "So, you scared?" he asked, all casual-like.

A person's stare can say a lot. Even in this grimy, dark room, Alexander didn't look messed up; he seemed like he didn't belong here.

"Things are already a mess. If you show up, it'll just get worse," the man said.

"We gotta keep you here for now," he added.

Alexander chuckled. "You don't have the guts to kill me."
