“Looks like you’re not aware of your mistake. You’re even threatening me.”
Upon learning the truth, she had only intended to tease him, never expecting him to become so
defiant.
Elliot suppressed the frustration in his eyes, saying, “I wouldn’t dare to do that. If you say I’m wrong, then I’m truly wrong.”
Sheena stifled a laugh, shifting her gaze from his handsome face to his covered body.

Elliot lowered his gaze, feeling a slight warmth on his cheeks.
He was just out of the shower and was completely naked, and here she was, shamelessly staring
at him while she remained fully clothed, making him feel a bit embarrassed.
Usually, Elliot was always the one boldly making advances toward her, and Sheena rarely
witnessed Elliot’s moments of shyness.
Seeing him blush slightly, she decided to tease him further.
She raised the ruler lightly and gently tapped his thigh.
With a soft snap, a faint pink mark appeared on Elliot’s thigh.
She playfully nudged the mark with the ruler and teased, “How does it feel?

Elliot nodded in compliance, “I admit it.”
Sheena chuckled softly and continued, “Seeing that you’ve come to your senses, I’ll give you the
harshest punishment tonight!”
Elliot sighed silently, resigned, and lowered his gaze. “I accept it.
Sheena stifled a laugh. “Good. Since you’re being so obedient, tonight I’m going to be rough.
“I’ll take the lead this time.”
The next day, waking up refreshed, Elliot felt revitalized and content. He glanced at Sheena, who was still asleep beside him. His eyes showed great tenderness as he leaned down to kiss her forehead gently.
After savoring the sweet morning gesture, he quickly got out of bed, washed up, changed clothes,

Lionel kept up with Elliot’s pace and arrived at the Jenkins estate garage right behind him.
Once in the car, Elliot’s obsidian eyes regained their usual depth and coldness.
“To the Nicholls residence.”
Half an hour later, the luxury car arrived at the entrance of the Nicholls residence.
Elliot was dressed casually for the investigation.
Logan’s squad of soldiers, well–trained and disciplined, stood orderly by the door, ready and

At Lionel’s command, Frank gathered all the household staff in the garden, ensuring they did not interfere with the official search.
After a tense search lasting over ten minutes, Lionel returned first.
With a solemn expression, he approached Elliot and whispered, “Elliot, we couldn’t find anything suspicious on the top floor, not even a single trace of iron chains or shackles. Romello must have cleaned up beforehand. It seems we’ll return empty–handed.”
