Chapter 216
The color drained from Ava’s face, and her confidence melted away in an instant. She tried to backpedal, but his hand shot out like lightning, gripping her arm with crushing force.“You thought you could ruin her life?” he growled, dragging her fully inside. The door slammed shut behind them with a thud that echoed like a death knell. “Tonight, Ava, you answer for your crimes.”Ava squirmed, her voice trembling. “Logan, listen—it’s not what you think—”He cut her off with a glare so sharp it silenced her instantly. “I know exactly what it is. You wanted Charlotte raped. You brought poison, lies, a camera, and a hired thug to do your dirty work. And you thought you could walk away clean.”Kayla, still crouched near the corner, whimpered, her entire body trembling. Ava shot her a furious glare, realizing too late that Kayla had been the weak link that dragged her into this room.Logan turned toward the man who had been waiting uneasily near the bed. His face was pale and his body tens
Chapter 215
Kayla’s body screamed at her to turn back, to run far from the storm waiting for her inside that room, but she knew she had no choice. Logan’s words echoed in her head like a chain tightening around her throat. He had given her an ultimatum, and she had already seen what he was capable of when enraged. Defying him was out of the question.Kayla's trembling fingers twisted together as she forced her face into something resembling composure. She needed to appear calm and convincing. She needed Ava to believe everything was fine.And there Ava was—leaning lazily against the wall, one ankle crossed over the other, her expression brimming with smug satisfaction. The shadows in the hallway only made her features sharper, crueler, her grin wide as if she had already won.“Talk to me,” Ava purred, her eyes narrowing with amusement as Kayla approached. “Is it done? Did you make sure Charlotte was ruined the way I asked?”The words slashed through Kayla’s nerves. She swallowed, pasting on

Kayla’s sobs shook her whole body as she pressed her palms against the cold floor. Her tear-swollen eyes looked up at Logan, who towered over her with unflinching fury. His command still echoed in her ears—she was to take Charlotte’s place, to endure the very humiliation she had orchestrated.“No… no, please,” Kayla whimpered, shaking her head violently. Her voice cracked under the weight of her desperation.“Sir, don’t do this to me. I beg you. Please don’t let me… don’t make me… replace Charlotte.”Logan’s eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched like iron. “Why should I spare you?” His tone was a low growl, vibrating with restrained violence. “You plotted against my wife. You put her in that bed, helpless. You were ready to watch her life be destroyed for your sick scheme. Tell me one reason why you deserve mercy.”Kayla’s chest heaved, and in her panic, the words tumbled from her mouth. “Because Ava—the one who sent me to do this—she’s outside. She’s waiting. Why don’t you invite Ava
Chapter 213
Logan’s glare bore into Kayla like a blade. The room was suffocatingly silent except for Charlotte’s faint breathing on the bed and the distant groans of the man sprawled on the floor, still clutching his ribs. Logan’s fury radiated like fire, the kind that scorched without touch.Kayla trembled, her back pressed against the wall as though it could swallow her whole and protect her. Her lips quivered, her voice breaking into fragments of incoherent stammers. She had been bold before, smug even, but that mask had shattered the moment Logan had entered. Now, she was nothing more than a cornered coward.“I’ll ask again,” Logan growled.“Who sent you? Who told you to do this to Charlotte?”Kayla’s chest rose and fell rapidly, her hands shaking as she tried to hold herself upright. Her mind raced with excuses, with half-truths, but Logan’s eyes warned her that lies would be met with something far worse than his words.“I-I can’t—” she started, her voice barely audible.Logan slammed
Chapter 212
Charlotte was sprawled across the bed, still unconscious, her breaths slow and heavy, oblivious to the wicked scheme circling her.The man Kayla had summoned loomed over the fragile girl, his grin spreading wider as he began unbuttoning his shirt. His eyes gleamed with predatory hunger, and Kayla’s pulse quickened at the thought that Charlotte’s life would soon be ruined beyond repair. Years of envy and festering resentment had led to this moment, and she savored the power that came with it.“Make it quick!” Kayla urged, her tone sharp, a whisper laced with malice. She tapped her phone, showing him the blinking red light of a hidden camera tucked neatly out of sight. Its unyielding red eye glared at them, recording every second. “This needs to be done fast, before anyone starts wondering why she hasn’t come back downstairs.”The man chuckled darkly, tugging at his belt. His gaze swept over Charlotte’s limp body, hungry, dangerous, unrelenting.Kayla’s lips curled with cruel satis
Chapter 211
Logan’s heart hammered as he paced across the living room.The quiet of the house pressed against him like a weight. Every second without Charlotte gnawed at him, twisting his chest tighter. He glanced at the clock again, but the hands seemed to mock him, creeping forward while she remained absent.He couldn’t wait any longer.Snatching up his phone, he dialed one of Charlotte’s friends—the same one who had claimed Charlotte was “asleep” when she left the party. His thumb pressed so hard against the phone that his knuckles whitened. The call connected instantly.“Hello?” “This is Logan,” he said, his tone sharp, urgent, clipped with the kind of authority that demanded truth. “Earlier you said Charlotte was asleep when you left. I need the exact location of that party—hall name, street, everything. Send it to me now.”In a hushed, frightened voice, the friend whispered, “I’ll send it immediately. Please… is something wrong?”“Just send it,” Logan snapped, unwilling to waste anothe
