Chapter 2668

Sylvia didn’t want to answer him. Her gaze shifted, and then her eyes lit up as she noticed something.

She leaned closer to his ear, her voice a mere whisper. “| see a piece of broken porcelain in the corner. We need to find a way to

get to it.”

The shard was half-buried in the dust, likely from a bowl that a previous visitor had broken and discarded.

Her breath was warm against his skin, her soft lips brushing the sensitive spot below his ear as she spoke. He went rigid, taking a

“What?” She looked up at him.

“These ropes are reinforced with alloy wire,” he explained quietly. “Even a knife can’t cut through them. A piece of porcelain won't

Sylvia's shoulders slumped in disappointment. “They certainly hold you in high regard,” she murmured.

of violence and bloodlust, making the air itself feel thin and taut.

Gabriel and Sylvia exchanged a look. He shifted, helping them both to their feet so they could lean against the wooden wall. He

positioned himself with his back to the wall, his hand protectively covering the small of her back as he faced the masked man.

The masked man sat on a stool on the other side of the room while his men began gathering firewood and building a fire in the

center of the cabin.

The wood was damp from the rain, and thick smoke billowed up, choking Sylvia and forcing her to bury her face in Gabriel's chest.

The masked man, equally irritated by the smoke, barked an order to find dry wood.
