Chapter 15

Overwhelmed by the drug’s effects, Audrey’s phone slipped from her grasp.

She pinched her leg painfully, trying to force clarity back into her foggy mind.

However, the agonizing pain was no match for the burning desire that engulfed her.: She gritted her

teeth in torment.

Nathan’s words echoed in her drug–clouded brain, “You still owe me last wish. Let someone take

you home.”

Drenched in sweat, she wrapped her arms around herself. Tears streamed down her cheeks. It was a mix of unbearable physical agony and emotional torment.

Heat surged within her like lava boiling in her veins. Cold water could help. Before meeting Nathan, she had requested several buckets of ice and filled the bathtub with cold water.

Like last time, she had to endure it until it passed. Forcing herself against the wall, Audrey stumbled into the bathtub filled with ice.

Outside the door, Ryan heard the faint sound of water over the phone and nearly crushed it in his grip. He ended the call then instructed his assistant, “Get the hotel manager to open the door. Bring

the car to the hotel entrance.”

The assistant nodded and stepped aside to make a call.

Soon, the manager arrived and swiped the key card to unlock the door.

Ryan cast a backward glance at Charles, who appeared pale and unsettled. Ryan’s eyes, cold and daunting behind his gold–framed glasses, conveyed an unmistakable sense of warning.

“Hand him over to the police,” Ryan ordered coldly.

“Mr. Lambert! I’m Nathan’s brother–in–law! It wasn’t my fault. I was just following orders! Nathan is in Room 3020, Cloudsea Pavilion. We were together! You can ask him…

“Take him to Nathan. Tell him I want an explanation for this,” Ryan snapped impatiently.
