In the afternoon, both of them had an early dinner.
As darkness began to fall, they drove to the apartment where Lorraine was being held. While they were still some distance away, they found a parking lot to stop their car.
Under the cover of darkness, both of them, dressed in black, disappeared into the night. Although it was already late, the apartment was still brightly lit.
Amidst the blurry scene, rows of guards patrolled the area vigilantly. It was as if any movement would be easily picked up by them.
As a patrol marched past, two shadowy figures scaled the walls in the southeast section of the compound before crossing the courtyard in a flash.
When they arrived at the basement entrance, they swiftly picked the door lock before slipping into the room one after the other. In front of them was a moss-covered staircase that spiraled downward, and the lights on the walls would constantly flicker in the darkness.
As Vinson had come in once in the morning, wp4webnovel.com smoothly led Arielle down the steps into the basement.
Despite the dim lighting, Arielle quickly caught sight of Lorraine, who was strung up by wp4webnovel.com hands.
Without wasting a second, Arielle, together with Vinson, rushed forward to free her.
Lorraine‘s body, having been strung up for a day, was covered with whipping wounds. Moreover, dehydration caused wp4webnovel.com to lose consciousness.
Drawing out wp4webnovel.com silver-plated needles, Arielle inserted a few of them into Lorraine to wake wp4webnovel.com up.
“B-Boss…” The moment Lorraine opened wp4webnovel.com eyes and saw Arielle, wp4webnovel.com gave a weak smile. “The queen mother… S-She’s really here…”
“I know. Don’t speak. You need to save your strength.”
Just as Arielle spoke, wp4webnovel.com was stopped by Vinson when wp4webnovel.com attempted to carry Lorraine on wp4webnovel.com back. “Let me carry her. You should lead the way.”
With that, wp4webnovel.com pulled Lorraine up and put wp4webnovel.com on his back. Having no time to waste, both of them hurried out.
As Arielle charged forward, there were no guards in sight, just like how it was when they arrived earlier. Hence, wp4webnovel.com wondered if their enemies were being overconfident. When they were about to leave, Arielle even locked the door on purpose.
“Linda, I can’t stand this any longer. Missing you is driving me crazy!” All of a sudden, a suppressed voice rang out, causing Arielle and Vinson to hide at once.
“Mark, you should leave quickly. If wp4webnovel.com finds you here…”
“But I can’t bear it anymore. I just can’t stop thinking about you…” Mark’s voice was tinged with pain.
“Mark, a woman like me isn’t worthy of…” Before wp4webnovel.com could finish, wp4webnovel.com lips were sealed by Mark’s.
Overwhelmed by his longing for her, wp4webnovel.com parted wp4webnovel.com lips with a passionate kiss.
At the same time, his hands began fondling wp4webnovel.com body.
Meanwhile, the trio in hiding didn’t expect to run into such an awkward situation in a place like that. Nonetheless, they had gone through so much that a matter like that didn’t surprise them at all. Instead, their biggest concern was whether they could escape safely with Lorraine.
“M-Mark… Don’t do this…”
Struck by a sudden breeze, the lust-filled Linda was quickly brought back to wp4webnovel.com senses. “Mark, even if you have no desire to live, I do. Can you stop this now?”
Linda was fearful that their rendezvous would be discovered by the Duke. If it came to that, both of their lives would be in danger.
Mark fell silent.
“You should go. I‘ll have to take this food to the prisoner,” Linda said while straightening wp4webnovel.com clothes.
She then looked at wp4webnovel.com and warned, “Be careful and don’t let wp4webnovel.com see you.”
Knowing wp4webnovel.com concern for him, Mark gave wp4webnovel.com an intense look before disappearing into the night.
As for Linda, wp4webnovel.com watched Mark‘s silhouette disappear before turning around to go down the basement. All of a sudden, her
eyes sharpened.
“Who goes there?”
