Chapter 184: Secret untold
Rhys has waited for this moment all his life. Plotting, waiting for the perfect opportunity and here it is. Rhys’ lips pulled into a tight line as he made his way in the dark corridor leading to Carlos’ office
He knew he had to remain calm and collected, despite the overwhelming rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. Rhys had rehearsed this moment in his head a thousand times, imagining every possible scenario and outcome.
As he approached the door to Carlos’ office, Rhys paused for a moment, taking a deep breath and composed himself. He had to be careful, quiet, and quick.
He didn’t want to alert anyone to his presence. He slowly turned the doorknob, and to his surprise, the door opened without a sound. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him, enveloping himself in darkness.
Rhys’ eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light as he scanned the room.
He had spent the day with Beatrix cuddling in her bedroom after they came back from the cemetery.
She had reminisced her childhood memories of her mother and her father. The more he listened to her the more it was harder to believe that monster of a man was her father.
She had told him his father spent this day alone in his office alone with no security guards. Just his bottle of liquor while staring at her mother’s portrait.
Her mother was his soulmate and he hasn’t been the same person ever since she died.
