Chapter 162: Maggie
Johnnyâs chest tightened.âMaggieââThe room felt smaller than before.Not because anything had changed, but because of the space between them.Johnny stood a few steps away from Margaret, his hand now lowered to his side. The urgency in his chest had not reduced, but something else had taken its place.Hesitation.Margaret hugged her arms lightly around herself, as if trying to steady her own thoughts. Her breathing was not fast, but it wasnât calm either.âPlease,â Johnny said again, softer this time. âWe have to go.âMargaret shook her head.âIâm sorry,â she replied, and this time there was more firmness in her voice. âI canât just walk out with you like that, when I⌠I donât understand whatâs happening.âJohnnyâs hand dropped slowly.âWe donât have time,â he said. âPlease, just trust me.âBut even as he said it, he could see it.That wordâTrust.Right now, it meant nothing to her.Not after everything she had just seen.âNo,â she cut in, her voice firmer now, though it still trem
Chapter 161: Where would he go?
âFind him!âCommissioner Rhoadesâ voice cut through the hallway like a whip.âI want every exit covered. Check the cameras. Check the vents. Check the damn walls if you have to. He could not have gone far!âThe officers moved at once, boots echoing loudly against the tiled floor as they scattered in different directions. Radios crackled. Doors opened and slammed shut. The entire station, which had been calm just minutes ago, now felt like a place under attack.Rhoades stood in the middle of it all, his jaw tight, his eyes burning with a mix of anger and something else he refused to name.Confusion.No.Not confusion.Something worse.Loss of control.He turned back toward the interrogation room again, as if expecting Johnny to suddenly reappear in the chair, hands cuffed, like nothing had happened.But the room remained empty.The cuffs still hung loosely from the table.Mocking him.Rhoades clenched his fists.Impossible.There was no way a man could just vanish like that. Not in a
Chapter 160: The Interrogation
The room felt smaller the longer Johnny sat in it.At first, it had just seemed like any other interrogation room. Plain walls. A metal table. Two chairs facing each other. A single light overhead that didnât flicker, but didnât feel completely stable either.Now, after sitting there for a while, it felt different.Tighter.Like the walls had slowly moved closer without anyone noticing.Johnny rested his cuffed hands on the table, his fingers loosely locked together. The metal around his wrists was cold, but he barely felt it anymore.His attention wasnât on the cuffs.It was on the situation.This was he had been arrested.And somehow, every single time, it had been for something he didnât do.A faint breath escaped him.His gaze drifted toward the door.Justice had nothing to do with it.It never did.Even now, sitting here, accused of killing a man like Valentine OrlovâŚJohnnyâs lips curved slightly.If he had killed him, would that really be a crime?A man who butchered people. S
Chapter 159: The Arrest
The words did not make sense at first.They felt misplaced, like something that had been said too early, or in the wrong place entirely.âJohnny Steele, you are under arrest for the murder of Valentine Orlov.âFor a brief moment, everything slowed.Johnny did not react immediately. His eyes stayed on the man in front of him, studying him carefully, almost calmly.Commissioner Rhoades.Rheaâs husband.Of course.A quiet breath left Johnnyâs nose as recognition settled in. The last time they had met had been short, but it had been enough. Men like Rhoades were not hard to read.Clean on the outside.Dirty where it mattered.Rhoades stood with the same controlled posture, his uniform sharp, his presence firm. There was a faint smile on his lips, but it wasnât friendly. It was the kind of smile that came from thinking everything was already under control.Like this had already ended.Johnny tilted his head slightly. âYouâre arresting me⌠for murder?âHis tone was not loud, but it carried.
Chapter 158: PVGOT (Pantheon Valley Got Talent)
âWe need to get going.â Margaret stood up from the bed.Her voice sounded calm, but her thoughts were far from calm.Johnny looked at her carefully. âNow?âMargaret nodded. âThey said immediately.âHer gaze shifted briefly toward Sophie before returning to Johnny. The tension between them had not disappeared. It had only been pushed aside.For now.Johnny rubbed the back of his neck and nodded slowly. âAlright. Letâs get ready.âBut as Margaret picked up her phone again, her mind was still racing.The message from PVGOT Studio had arrived at the perfect moment.Too perfect.Her eyes remained on the screen. Without realizing it, she opened the message again.Below the message was another message notification she had not noticed at first.A second message.From an unknown number.Margaret frowned slightly and opened it.The words on the screen made her stomach tighten instantly.[Be careful who you trust.]For a moment she simply stared at the message.Her first instinct was to show Joh
Chapter 157: Focus, Sophie
Johnny stood by the door with one hand still on the handle, his towel riding low on his hips, threatening to slip and reveal more of his impressive package.Sophie Green stood in the hallway holding a silver tray, her tight hotel uniform hugging her slim waist and perky chest, the top button straining just a bit.For a moment, none of them spoke.The quiet inside the Sky Sovereign suite suddenly felt heavier than beforeâcharged with steamy vibes.Johnny had opened the door without thinking much about it. Only now did he realize how the situation must look.He was standing there wearing nothing but a white towel wrapped around his waist.His hair was still damp from the shower, and a few drops of water slowly slid down from his neck to his chest, tracing sexy paths over his rock-hard pecs.Across the room, Margaret sat on the bed, holding the blanket loosely around herselfâbarely covering her lacy nightie that clung to her massive tits and juicy ass like a second skin.The room looked
