The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1884

In the dim, oppressive lighting, the man's elegantly sculpted features made him look deceptively innocent and harmless.

"If I force myself to keep holding back, I think I might actually lose my mind. So, for the sake of my mental health... I'll have to trouble Mr. Sellers to temporarily serve as my personal therapist.

I imagine this shouldn't be too daunting a task for Mr. Burton.

After all, you managed to survive in Foreman's hands for over a month. You must have plenty of experience by now.

Make yourself at home here, Mr. Burton. If you need anything at all, feel free to ask your guards."

Sellers gritted his teeth. "How long are you planning to keep me locked in here?"

Joshua lowered his eyes, pretending to mull it over for a few seconds before smiling. "Until the day my psychological issues are fully cured... But I'm a big believer in fairness.

If Mr. Burton manages to find a way to escape this place, then I'll let you walk free. How does that sound?"

Sellers' heart sank to the bottom of his stomach.

Foreman might have slipped up out of arrogance and given him a window of opportunity.

But Joshua would never make such a rookie mistake.

If he ever managed to escape, it would only be because Joshua orchestrated it for his own twisted amusement.

Sellers' gaze shifted to the lion pacing in the adjacent enclosure.

He tried to decipher what twisted game Joshua was playing by bringing a wild predator into this.

Was he planning to feed him to the beast?

As if reading his rising panic, Joshua graciously offered an explanation. "Since you're so utterly obsessed with uncovering my past, I figured I'd give you a front-row seat to understand me better.

Files and investigations are so one-dimensional. It's much better for Mr. Burton to experience it firsthand."

Joshua lightly clapped his hands, and a few of his subordinates immediately stepped into the room.
