Chapter 111: Bloodied paper
With that, they exited Theresa’s room and securely locked the door.
"Tim!" She shouted his name repeatedly, pounding on the door in a futile attempt to gain her freedom. However, no one came to her rescue. She was as powerless as Aurora, and she knew she would have to condemn Aurora to death tomorrow or face dire consequences.
Biting her nails in frustration, she regretted deceiving Enoch and not contacting Damien that night. Timotei had become increasingly ruthless, displaying a complete disregard for the consequences of his actions.
Only Selena knew what they had done to Aurora. Timotei had reeked of blood when she had confronted him earlier in the afternoon. Could it have been from torturing Aurora?
"Oh no," she agonized, almost breaking into tears. Her own foolishness had led to Aurora’s suffering. Would Damien ever forgive her for the death of his woman? Their relationship had been strained before, and this incident might well sever any remaining bonds.
In her frustration, she began to vent her anger by tearing apart everything she could find in her room, throwing and hitting objects. Her hand got bruised when she struck the standing mirror, and blood began to seep from her injured hand.
Realizing that asking for help was futile, she sat down on the bed and eventually drifted off to sleep.
In Country X, Damien was back in his office, fully engrossed in his work. He was alone in his office as Dave had called it a day, and Enoch had stepped out to refill their coffees.
Suddenly, Damien recalled something and began searching for his phone. Despite rummaging through his desk and office, he couldn’t locate it. His search was interrupted by Enoch’s return.
"Looking for this?" Enoch asked, raising Damien’s phone.
Damien glanced at the phone in Enoch’s hand and sighed in frustration. "Where did you find it?" he asked.
