章節 131: His Abuse

"Hmm," Maximus placed his hand on her waist. "Theodus is tailing Arioch." 

"So you know where Arioch is?" Alexandra lay on the bed, supporting her elbows. She could see the uncertainty on Maximus' face as he talked. 

"Morfan is working for Arioch now, Lexa," Maximus twirled a bunch of her hair in his hands. "He couldn't track him well. And we don't know where he is."

Alexandra looked at his face without blinking. She knows the next question he is going to ask. And she waited for him to ask it.

"Do you? Do you remember where he took you? And what happened there?" Maximus asked. "When you returned… at Mount Begida… you were not… You didn't look all there." He raised his brows. "Lexa, it was not you then, was it?"

"No, it wasn't," Alexandra nodded. "I met my father, and this other soul took control." Her voice trailed off. 

Maximus noted her brows furrowing, her throat bobbed, and she looked stressed. He pulled her to a hug.
