Chapter 31

Silas POV

"What, pray, are you doing?"I growled, my voice filled with rages I stormed into the room.

My eyes locked with Phillip's as he was standing over Katrina, whose body was limp.

Her limbs were spread out and her head hung forward as if she forre already unconscious.

I could barely contain the fury inside me.

I closed the distance between us in rushed steps, shoving Phillipway from her with more force than I realized I had in me, my heart pounding in my chest

Beads of sweat dribbled down her face as she panted heavily

Her eyes dropped before she finally went unconscious.

1 immediately unchained her, and her body fell into my arms, lamp.

She was barely breathing and I was scared at the thought that she would die.

I had only been unconscious for a day, and then this happened?

The moment our eyes met I instantly knew that it wasn't Phillip

No. This was Simeon, the sadistic bastard who shared the same body with Phillip.

The one who enjoyed pain and suffering and thrived in chaos.

It took everything in me not to kill him on the spot.

The rage boiled so violently inside me that my vision blurred.

"Have you gone insane?" I hissed, my fists balled up by my sides

I have never been so angry in my life, and it took everything in the not to kill him on the spot.

"Imagining me waking up and finding out that my wife had been accused of poisoning me, and my second in command is torturing her without much evidence,

Simeon just grinned a sinister, wicked smile that made my skin crawl.

He shrugged, his shoulders relaxed as if this was all just some game to him.

And maybe it was. Simeon didn't care about anyone but himself. And what angered me the most was that he was most definitely torturing her because it made his heart race. "The poison was found in her room," he replied, his voice dripping with mock innocence. "Isn't that evidence enough"

He didn't look the least bit remorseful about what he had done.

1 stepped closer, feeling the heat of anger flare in my chest.

The desire to destroy him burned through me, but I knew that killing Simeon would mean killing Phillip too.

As much as I wanted to crush the life out of the man standing in front of me, I had to restrain myself.

But that didn't mean I would tolerate this. Not for a second Longer.

"Bring him back." I ordered, my voice was low and dangerous. "wish to speak to Phillip

Even Simeon knew not mess with me.

Simeon's smirk.

n's smirk faltered for a moment,

He didn't like being told what to do and he most definitely did like letting Phillip take control.

Phillip was the dominant personality, and in situations like this, I was happy about that.

Simeon's eyes gleamed with defiance as he stood there, staring me down. They were emotionless and cold.

I have never seen any look on his face except this one.

"Now!" Londered.

Simeon rolled his eyes, clearly irritated, before giving me a mocking salute and stepping aside.

It was as if relinquishing control was nothing more than a minor inconvenience to him.

I watched as the shift happened and Phillip blinked, his expression softening.

Now the thing was,

Phillip had a split personality.

While he was cold and calculating.

His split personality, Simeon was the exact opposite.

He was fuckin unpredictable.

And the worst thing was that Simeon enjoyed torturing people for the fun of it.

My eyes once again flickered to Karina who was in my arms with wet clothes. I could barely feel her pulse.

I will fucking kill him.

What did he put her through?

Silas. You're awake," Phillip stated and I turned my attention back to him.

Without thinking, I raised my fist, connecting it with his jaw.
