Chapter 310: Inez’s Worries Over Her Uncontrolled Power
"Gilderoy, you are needed at the office of the head guard. He has summoned you and wants to talk to you about
something." Another guard called out. His expression fell when he saw Gilderoy hugging the prisoner. He said
with a frown, "I know that you are used to having your way around this prison, but you better not touch these
two women; they are connected to a high-profile case. If you dare to touch them without the permission of Dean,
that man would peel a layer off your skin."
Gilderoy frowned. He glanced at the woman in his arms, though his mind kept telling him to make this woman
kneel and suffer for him; something held him back.
Let her stay here, worrying about what | might do to her. That way, her mind would beca mess, and it would
beceasy forto break her.
He curled his lips and patted Inez on the cheek. "I will cfor you later, my darling." He then let go of Inez and
turned around to walk out of the prison cell. The clang of keys echoed down the corridor before the iron door was
slammed shut behind by the guard. However, before leaving, Gilderoy turned around and licked his lips
suggestively. His footsteps faded with the passing of each second, but that disgusting stare of his remained
behind.
Inez slid down the bars, her hands and knees hitting the floor with a soft yet hard thud. Scarlet crawled over to
her. Her hands were shaking as she softly called out to Inez, "What did you do? What did you do — why did you
do that? You know that he will cfor you, right?"
Inez pulled her hands back and rolled back on her heels. Every muscle in her body was aching. But her gaze was
much firmer, and when she raised her head, Scarlet knew that it was not Inez but Nerina. "I know, but she
doesn’t want you to get hurt because of her." A pause, and she looked around the grimy walls, with water
dripping down from the edges. "And if she stayed here any longer, she would have passed out. You know that."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScarlet pursed her lips as she stared at the golden eyes that were shimmering in the darkness. She clenched her
fists, trying to anchor the horrible realisation of the danger that her sister had once again taken to protect her.
"Why did you do it, Nessie? You did the sthing last twhen Dominic threatened you with me. You don’t
have to protect me. | can take this on—I can let those men—"
"No!" Nerina and Inez’s voices echoed in the dungeon at the stime. Nerina reached out and grabbed the
hands of her sister; she gripped Scarlet so hard that she winced. "That man wants me, so even if he wishes to
break me, he will leavealive—in case something like that happens. But you are different. He won't hesitate
to kill you. It's better if | take on his wrath and twisted desires rather than letting you face it." She tilted her head
with a ghost of a smile lingering on her lips. "Don’t look so horrified; even if he tries to break me, he won't kill
you."
"Yes, that's because he will leave you alive with just one breath until he is done with you," snapped Scarlet,
sounding horrified at the very notion. She shook her head and dropped her voice before saying, "You are being
way too confident, Nessie, but you cannot fight whips and daggers with words alone."
Inez’s eyes glimmered in the dim light, carrying something that made Scarlet’s back covered with sweat. "Of
course, | cannot. But | don’t need to fight back," she murmured, her voice carrying a low resonance that made
Scarlet’s pulse quicken. "I only need that man’s ears, not chains."
"You don’t have to act brave," said Scarlet. As the silence stretched, broken only by the dripping sound of the
water down the stone wall, Scarlet stared at her sister with a hint of tangled awe. Realisation hit deep when she
realised that Inez had deliberately played with the guard to make him back off, letting him think that he was
controlling the situation. When, in truth, it was Nerina who was playing him like a marionette.
The two of them were thinking of using the torment instead of worrying about surviving it. But—
"You are afraid."
For a moment, there was silence. Then Inez slowly raised her head and nodded. In a voice that was too quiet to
hear, she replied, "Yes."
Scarlet blinked her eyes, startled at the sudden admission of his sister. She parted her lips, but before she could
say anything, Inez interrupted her.
"But does fear matter?" said Inez with a hint of a frown on her face. Her voice sharpened again. "What matters is
that— that man never sees it."
Inez glanced at the darkness behind her. With the main entrance of the prison being closed off, the corridor had
once again returned to darkness. With the security of this dungeon, Inez wondered how they would even get out
of this place. With what happened, it seemed like the guards here were not afraid of tormenting or breaking the
prisoners, which was not a good sign. If Killian didn’t clooking for her, she was worried that they might not
succeed in getting out of here.
Pssh, who do you think | am? Nerina rolled her eyes, sounding disgruntled. | can totally deal with these guards.
