Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 192

Chapter 192 – The information you wanted on Daisy...

Seraphine went still for a second, the question catching her completely off guard as her brows pulled together and her thoughts immediately started racing, trying to figure out what could have possibly led Leon to ask something like that.

"Why are you asking?" she said, keeping her voice calm even though curiosity had already started creeping in.

Leon glanced down for a moment like he was trying to decide how much he could actually say without crossing a line.

He could not exactly mention how Voren had saved her at the Billionaire’s club meeting, and how he lingered at the hospital everywhere she was. How could Leon tell her that Voren had been watching her in a way he could not explain?

That would only create more questions than answers. Still, there was enough he could tell her.

"Well... Santiago’s awake now," Leon said slowly, taking his time with every word. "And he’s saying Mr. Ashkael is the one who broke his bones."

He paused for a second, letting the weight of that settle between them before continuing.

"He also said that when he gets out, he is coming after him... and his girlfriend."

Seraphine’s entire expression hardened immediately. Every other detail disappeared from her mind as soon as she heard that part.

Even now, laid up in a hospital bed with half his body broken, Santiago was still obsessed with revenge, still obsessed with hurting people.

Still planning for a future where he somehow walked free and got another chance to destroy lives, having no regrets whatsoever.
