Chapter 416
Chapter 416:
They called me a while ago and told me they had captured her. Finally. I didn’t know how to feel about that. I badly wanted to see her. How has she been surviving on her own for the past week? Hasn’t it been difficult for her?
But I was also worried for her. Coming back here would mean the Executioners get to do what they want, and I wasn’t sure I could let that happen.
My phone rang in my pocket. I answered as soon as I saw it was Cole. Maybe he was calling to tell me they were close.
“We were attacked. She’s gone,” he said huskily, sounding like he was in pain.
My brows scrunched in confusion. “What’re you talking about? Who attacked p>
“Your brother and his Feeders. They killed two of my people! They fucking did p>
My hands turned cold. “And Lyric p>
“He took her. It’s the second time he’s saved her today p>
“What did you just say p>
“I’m sorry, My King. We didn’t expect the attack from him p>
My view drowned in red as my sanity slipped through my fingers. Caden took Lyric. He must be hurting her. What the fuck was wrong with him p>
LYRIC
I stayed in the room for a few more hours before the door opened again. I was ready to attack and strike at Caden, but it turned out not to be him.
“The Boss wants you downstairs,” the unfamiliar one cocked his head.
I gave him a suspicious look before following him. Maybe I could seize the opportunity to escape.
I soon realized how difficult it would be when I saw the numerous men guarding the place. All of these people were Feeders and under Caden’s control? The man had been building an army around here.
We arrived at what looked like a living room. By the side, I found Caden speaking in hushed tones to some men. He wrapped up the moment he saw me. “You’re here,” he said with a smile as he came toward me. “Please, this way p>

He led the way to the dining room, which was just beside the living room. But I didn’t take a seat when he did. “I need you to let me go p>
He leaned back in his seat, pinching his brows like I was some kid who wouldn’t stop pestering him for snacks.
“Seriously, Lyric. Why can’t you see this is only for your good? I’m trying to keep you safe p>
“No. You only want to use me, and I’ll never let myself be used by you. As a matter of fact, I’ll never feel safe around you p>
He chuckled. “Take a seat. You haven’t eaten since yesterday, if I’m correct.” The food on the table looked really tempting, and yes, I was starving. But I wasn’t here for that. “I don’t want to stay here p>
“Fucking sit, Lyric! Stop pissing me off!” The playfulness was gone from his eyes, replaced by the coldness I didn’t like about him.
