Chapter 102

Third Person POV.

Amber’s eyes searched Richard’s face: her brow furrowed in confusion as she tilted her head slightly. her gaze unwavering as she posed her question. “Richard, can you explain who this ‘H‘ is? I’m a little lost here.” she said, trying to understand what he was talking about and who the battered man in front of her could possibly be.

Richard met her gaze. his expression serious as he carefully chose his words. “H is the person who supplied the drugs that Kayden had planted in my father’s house, Amber,” he revealed. “There’s more to explain, but we’ll get to that after Killian and I have a word with him.”

Amber’s confusion deepened, her eyes darting nervously between Richard. Killian, and the other men in the building. The weight of their collective gaze fell on her, and she could sense the silent expectation hanging in the air as if they were trying to ask for her approval before proceeding with their undisclosed intentions. Inhaling deeply, she quelled the rising unease in her, reminding herself that Richard always had a reason for his actions while urging herself to trust him.

Turning to Richard, she voiced her concern. “Are you going to… hurt him during the interrogation? Do I have to witness that?” Her worry was palpable in her words, because the last thing she wanted was to witness her husband, his friend, and their goons beat a man up.

Killian, who had been observing the exchange, sensed Amber’s distress and quickly interjected. “We won t lay a hand on him anymore, especially since you’re here, Amber. He’s unconscious right now, so all you’ll see is us dousing him with ice water before we start questioning him. After that, I promise to keep everything else PG–13,” he responded, and if the situation wasn’t serious at the moment, Amber knew she’d have laughed out loud.

She nodded in understanding, a faint sense of relief washing over her as she acknowledged Killian’s reassurance. “I see. You can carry on with what you need to do then. I’ll just watch from afar,” she acquiesced, her eyes flickering back to Richard, a look of skepticism lingering in her gaze.

Richard chuckled softly at her skepticism, his hand reaching out to grasp hers and pulling her closer to him in a protective gesture.

Amber watched with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation as Killian silently signaled to one of the men standing nearby. Without hesitation, the burly figure approached a large drum concealed in the

comer of the room, deftly scooping out a bucket of water before turning towards the captive named H.

In a swift and fluid motion, the icy, cold water cascaded over H’s head, jolting him out of his unconscious stupor.

As H sputtered and shook off the shock of the sudden shower, his gaze shifted from Killian to the unfamiliar faces of Richard and Amber. Amber couldn’t help but gasp inwardly as she finally beheld

the brutality he had endured, but what truly caught her attention was the vacant socket where his eye should have been. The damaged and disfigured eye made him appear both menacing and pitiful, a sigh that sent a shiver down her spine.
