In a very dark room, Alex was silent with his hands tied with chains on two poles on his right and left. his clothes looked shabby and there were even bloodstains on some parts, his face was battered, his body was thin with a jaw filled with thick beard hairs.

"Bryana... Maybe this is the result of what I've done to you... I'm too greedy, just thinking about my fun with Elsa, even though she doesn't accept me as I am," Alex whispered in a very hoarse voice. He was so weak, that someone came with a flashlight, making him glare and squint.

"If you want my death, just kill me right now. But remember, I'm not the one who shot your father's car tire, but Carlos," Alex whispered, glancing at the person carrying the flashlight.

the man was silent and took a small object like a key, then tried to open the lock on the chain for a few minutes and finally, it opened.

"Who are you?" asked Alex.

"I can't explain now, better hurry with me because we don't have much time," the baritone-voiced man said as he led Alex towards the door.

With a limp, Alex walked led by the man through the door that led to a fairly dark grass. he glanced at the barn where he had been locked up for three months, then glanced at the two men who always looked after him and gave him food every other day.

the man led Alex to continue walking through the grass until he came to a black Jeep where two men were waiting for him.

"Hurry in!"

Alex immediately got in and sat back in the car seat. he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes as he felt weak despite only walking a few meters. He was so weak and powerless, maybe because Fin and Lucas tortured him so badly without feeding him enough.

in another place, in a dimly lit room, Elsa was silent with her naked body side by side with Carlos, who didn't seem to be wearing a single thread. She covered her body with him with a dark blue blanket.

'For your sake, I satisfied this asshole!' she thought with tears in her eyes when she remembered how she hated Alex for being ambiguous, but she also missed and worried about him.

Brett....drettt

The phone rang on the table near the bed. Elsa remained silent because she felt that her smartphone was not ringing. After all, hers was in her bag, while Carlos immediately woke up and grabbed the smartphone.

Carlos narrowed his eyes as he stared at the phone, then answered the call. "Hello, Max. Any results?""I've taken him away from the captivity. Now, where should I take him?"

Carlos glanced at Elsa who was still silent with her back to him, then returned to focus on the phone. "Just take it to my apartment. Vania is there, so Vania will take care of him."

"Okay then, I hang up the phone."

"Hmm."

The phone line was closed. Carlos put his phone back on the table then glanced at Elsa who was staring at him intensely.

"Has Alex been found?" asked Elsa.

"Yes, I asked Max to take him to my apartment," Carlos replied casually.

Elsa was silent with mixed feelings. She wanted to see Alex immediately, but there was also guilt because of her current position in bed with Carlos, even having sex. there is guilt, there is righteousness because she did this as a sacrifice.

"I have to see him soon," she said as she sat up to get out of bed, but Carlos held her hand.

"Don't go!" Carlos exclaimed.

Elsa turned to look at Carlos in annoyance.

"Why? I have to make sure my husband is okay!"

"He's fine and a friend of mine will take care of him!" Carlos exclaimed then pulled Elsa down in his arms. "You can only go home after sunrise, and tonight you must always satisfy me!"

"Carlos, I've satisfied you many times. I beg you to let me go now," Elsa pleaded to try to break free from the man's hug.

"No!" Carlos replied while changing his position so that he was on top of Elsa's body which he made supine. "You'll have to pay a heavy price for my efforts to free Alex because he's being held captive by quite a dangerous person!"

"But I have fulfilled all your wishes!" Elsa looked at Carlos hatefully."You have to satisfy me until morning! That's the new rule. After all, your husband won't know. Don't worry, you two can get back together after this," Carlos said with a low moan towards Elsa's neck.

Elsa closed her eyes, only resigned to an unavoidable attack from Carlos, making her feel even more guilty to Alex. 'Alex, I'm sorry…but hopefully after this, we can get back together,' she thought sadly.

Arriving at the apartment, Alex is led by a man with a dashing body with an Asian face named Max. He was led down the lobby into the elevator to the 15th floor.

"Actually who are you? Why did you help me?" Alex asked.

"I was ordered by Mr. Carlos," Max replied with a flat look then led Alex to walk out of the elevator because it had arrived on the 15th floor.

Alex walked with a limp until Max asked him to stop at the door and immediately knocked on it.

Check

The door opened and there was a girl who had been Dean's secretary this morning. "Bring him in," she called.

Alex is led into a luxurious apartment with modern and luxurious furniture. He was led to a room, then invited to sit on a black sofa.

"Leave him, let me treat the wound," said Vania with a flat look at Max.

Max immediately left the room while Vania looked at Alex who looked very pitiful.

"How long have you been held captive? You are so skinny."

​ "After that night, my wife kicked me out of the house and I was kidnapped by a man who turned out to be Gustave's son," Alex explained while looking at Vania who he knew as a woman who always satisfied Carlos. Hem, if he knew, his wife is also the same as the girl in front of him.

"Why did he kick you out?" asked Vania with a faint smile.

"He didn't accuse me of cheating," Alex replied, then got up from the sofa with his body still limp, even shaking to stand alone. "I want to take a warm bath. Would you like to prepare it for me?" he asked.

"Don't you want me to treat the bruises on your face?" asked Elsa.

"No, I want to take a bath because I'm so dirty," Alex replied with an uncomfortable look. he shuddered to look at himself so badly because the light in the room was quite bright, compared to the location of his captivity which was almost pitch black at night.

"Okay. You just wait here, I'll prepare it," Vania exclaimed then got up from the sofa and walked to the bathroom.

Alex sighed and then sat back down and leaned back on the sofa. he silently stared at the ceiling remembering how sorry he was for making Bryana suffer for Elsa who only took advantage of his wealth.
