Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Moon carefully observed the man standing before her. He was undeniably handsome, just as Amanda had described… He was almost unbelievably handsome.

Was this Amanda’s boyfriend?

Elias saw that the girl had been silent for quite some time, and he was growing impatient, so he asked, “Please speak up. Why did you keep mentioning my name? How do you know me?

Although he wasn’t particularly interested in why this girl knew him, he sensed that there was more to it.

Upon being scolded in this manner, Moon snapped out of her thoughts but still maintained a submissive demeanor. “Um… May I ask if you are Mr. Elias Winters? Are you Elias Winters?”

She found it hard to believe, considering the dangerous circumstances surrounding this matter.

Elias replied while suppressing his impatience. “Yes, I am Elias Winters. Why do you know my name? Please explain.”

“Great! I finally found you. I… I am here on behalf of Amanda Bailey. She mentioned that she thought she saw you earlier, but she needed to confirm. So, she asked me to find you. If 1 I found you, I was supposed to tell you that her name is Amanda Bailey, and she needs your help.”

Moon relayed everything Amanda had told her and felt a sense of relief as she did so.

Upon hearing Amanda’s name, Elias became instantly alert while furrowing his brows and grabbing Moon’s arm. “Where is she? Take me to her!”

“She’s in the restroom over there. I’ll take you there. Please save us. Those scoundrels want to force us into sleeping with men. I don’t want to…”

Sleeping with men?

Elias‘ anger surged, and he even felt the urge to destroy this club. He clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and followed closely behind Moon.

Everything else could wait until he saw Amanda.
