Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook -
Chapter 1922
At this point, Henley no longer bothered to pretend, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
“Yes, it was me,” he confessed without any guilt.
“I thought, with your ex-husband getting married, how could you miss the show?”
Raegan was doubtful.
“What? Are you out of your mind?” She had never imagined that Henley was the mastermind behind her being trapped here!
“Henley, what did I ever do to you? You tricked me into coming here, confined me in a hotel room, and almost got me killed by that Lunatic?”
Seeing Raegan so visibly upset was unusual for Henley.
She was typically either aloof or simply
ignored him.
However, seeing her visibly angry seemed oddly charming to him.
Suddenly, he questioned his own feelings.
Previously, he desired to have her, but now, he was satisfied just to have her attention.
He was indeed desperate.
“Leave me alone!” Raegan was furious.
She couldn’t bring herself to speak another word to him.
Noticing her flushed face, Henley clarified, “I didn’t instruct anyone to lock you in the room.
It wasn’t me, and I deny any involvement.
”
Raegan snorted.
If not Henley, the only other person who had seen her was Katie.
If Katie was responsible, she wasn’t surprised.
Henley and Katie were the ones who would recklessly step on others’ toes, just like now, Henley proudly declaring himself the hero coming to her rescue.
In fact, if it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have ended up in this predicament in the first place.
Raegan took several deep breaths to calm herself and asked, “You mentioned you had wanted to rescue me.
Is there a secret passage?”
Raegan hoped to gather some valuable information to relay to the commander, helping the special forces in their mission.
To her surprise, Henley observed her suspiciously.
“What? You’re planning to organize a rescue for Mitchel?”
Raegan knew Henley hated Mitchel to the core, and her unwavering feelings for Mitchel were only a minor factor.
The main issue was rooted in Alexis’ deluding Henley into believing being the rightful heir of the Dixon family’s wealth.
The stark contrast in background between them was also at play.
Henley would stab Mitchel in the back, and there was no way he would tell her the way to rescue Mitchel.
There was also the risk that any information he gave could be a trap.
With that realization, Raegan decided not to ask Henley further.
She walked over and picked up the scissors from the ground.
Henley was surprised, thinking she might be out of her mind.
Did she not value her life? She still wanted to cut the detonator wires!
He reached out to intervene, but Raegan held up the scissors, warning him, “Stay back!”
Henley’s expression darkened instantly.
He had come to rescue her, and now she was threatening him with scissors!
Henley smirked mockingly and said, “Do you really think those tiny scissors can hurt me?”
Trying to contain his frustration, he warned, “Raegan, I’m losing my patience.
You can either come with me willingly, or I’ll knock you out and take you myself.
”
“Henley, are you really trying to save me and take me away?” Raegan asked.
“If I go with you, where will you take me? Will you let me go home?”
Henley was at a loss for words.
Raegan continued, “You won’t.
You’ve lost your place in the Ardlens.
So, are you planning to take me overseas, to some isolated place where you can confine me?”
Henley remained silent.
At that moment, it was just the two of them, and there was no point in continuing to lie.
Henley also felt no need to pretend in front of her.
“Henley, haven’t you figured yourself out yet?” Raegan taunted, “You’re always the self-centered type.
You do whatever suits you, no matter what others think.
And if it comes down to it, you’re not above using force.
”
Raegan’s understanding of Henley’s character was deeply accurate, and her observations were spot on.
