When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I pushed Ashton’s hand away and was greeted with the sight of Shane sprawled across the floor. It was clear that he was in significant pain as he convulsed on the ground. “I’ll speak, I’ll speak! Take those things out!” he shrieked in pain.

Holden looked towards the two henchmen, and they quickly stripped Shane’s pants. The sudden removal of his clothes left him trembling as he was partially naked.

“Speak!” Holden ordered with a stoic expression.

“It was Abe; he ordered me to trail after Mr. Fuller. The goal was to transfer Moranta’s foreign trading rights under Mr. Fuller to Abe. On the day of the accident, I was the one who sabotaged Mr. Fuller’s car. It was a mistake on my behalf! I should not have acted that way! Yet, I had no choice! Abe would have killed me if I did not obey his commands!” Shane cried out; his body trembled as he spoke. He must not have expected Holden to act in such a perverse manner.
