The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1725

The light in Taya’s eyes slowly faded away, as if she had been

plunged into an endless darkness filled with nothing but despair.

Her mind was filled with images of Griffon having his skull

opened. She didn’t know if those people had given him.

anesthesia, which could at least ease the pain, or if they had

just cut him open without any numbing. She couldn’t imagine the feeling of having things taken out of

his brain piece by piece…

Just the thought of Griffon dying in such agony made Taya’s heart feel like it was being ripped in two.

She took big, gasping breaths, but still couldn’t catch her breath. The suffocating feeling was

unbearable, as if her mouth and nose were blocked and she couldn’t even get any

air.

Taya winced in pain, clutching her chest and slowly bending over, but the excruciating pain in her heart

just wouldn’t ease. Tears streamed down her face, drop by drop, hitting the

floor…

Holden couldn’t help but lift his head when he saw the tears

on the ground. What he saw was Taya’s lifeless appearance.

In that moment, feelings of guilt and self–blame rushed into his heart, making him unable to look

directly at her.

“My sister asked him to protect me, so he did…”

Thinking about the way Griffon sacrificed himself for him, Holden buried his head even deeper into his

knees.

“Sorry…”

Taya’s ears slowly regained their ability to hear as she looked away from Holden, who had buried his

head in his knees, with her eyes red and swollen.

“So you’re saying he chose you, so he doesn’t want me

anymore.”

She almost used all her strength to say these words from her

throat.

He promised her that he would come back, but he ended up leaving her behind to save someone else.

Should she praise him for his righteousness, or should she hate him for his cruelty?

Taya’s face turned pale, with a touch of endless mockery.

But could she blame him for this?

No, she couldn’t.

Because of her husband risked everything to save others.

She released her hand from her chest and wiped away the

tears on her face before looking down at Holden, who was still kneeling.

“Where are his ashes?”

“No one claimed his body.”

Holden clenched his fists tightly.

“We’re heading in two different directions, I can’t go back…”

However, he knew that those who accepted punishment

would be held down on the operating table by the black–clothed figures hiding behind masks, and have

their heads cut in half with a knife from the back of their skulls.

Then, their insides would be scooped out and thrown into the trash bin, while the remaining body would

be kicked into the

incineration chute.

As he and Mr. Greyson entered the final round of the game, the videos playing on the walls all around

them were filled

with the fear of death.

This fear often led people to make the wrong choices. The

gamblers who entered at the same time as them were no

exception.

As soon as the door opened, they were dragged onto the

operating table and had their skulls opened and their bodies burned in front of the next participant.

At the critical moment, he and Griffon were faced with a

decision – one made the right choice, while the other made.

the wrong one.

He was prepared to sacrifice himself, but before the door. could open, Griffon pushed him aside with

lightning speed and was pulled away, not giving Holden any chance at all.

Taya’s heart sank when she heard that no one was going to claim Griffon’s body. Her eyes, hollow and

empty, suddenly sparked with a glimmer of hope.

“Did you see him being decapitated with your own eyes?”

Holden knew that Taya was expecting something, but…

“Before he entered the gates of death, he gave me a deadline of 23 days. If he comes back within that

time, it means he

succeeded. But if not, it’s a sign of misfortune…”

So, whether he saw it with his own eyes or not, Griffon can’t

come back anymore.

“But…”

Taya tried to struggle, but Holden cut off her hope.

“Mrs. Knight, your husband had everything planned out. The first letter he sent you was through

Preston, a month after he left. He wanted to come back to you within that month after

completing his mission, but he also knew that it wouldn’t be

easy to leave Erebus. So he wrote in the letter, asking you to

wait for two more months…”

“But he calculated that he couldn’t finish the task within a

month, so he knew he wouldn’t be able to finish it within two

months either. That’s why he wrote a second letter, asking

Preston to deliver it to Silas after two months. He did this

because he was afraid that if he couldn’t come back, there

would be someone else to take care of you.”

As Holden spoke, his eyes uncontrollably filled with tears.

“You know, when I came back, I was just like you, hoping that Alpha would come back within 23 days.

But he didn’t, he never did. That’s when I realized, he’s not coming back for real…”

Because he knew Alpha wouldn’t be coming back, he chose to

be honest when he received Peter’s call, instead of following Alpha‘ request to continue hiding the truth

from Taya or helping him push Taya towards Silas.

Because Taya rejected Silas, it’s clear that she loved Alpha

very much. A woman who loved a man like that had the right to know everything about him.
