For a split second, all he wanted was to reach out, grab the guy by the throat, and squeeze until something cracked.
He couldn't stand the sight of him. The longer he looked, the stronger the urge grew—to just end it, right then and there.
Keep it together.
He knew better. Making the first move meant losing control, and this guy was clearly putting on a show for Chloe's benefit. Eugene wasn't about to play along.
Without another word, he turned and walked away.
The three of them stepped out one after another. Just as Chloe emerged, she spotted Zachary rushing toward them, looking completely frantic.
"Zachary? What's going on?"
He was sweating, breathless, eyes wide with panic. At the sound of Chloe's voice, his expression shifted from desperation to relief.
"Oh, thank God—I finally found you!" he blurted out, so overwhelmed his legs buckled slightly.
Chloe moved quickly, catching him by the arm before he could stumble. Zachary gripped her hand, steadying himself as he struggled to speak.
"Chloe, it's Oralia... something's happened..."
He was still recovering from his car accident, and the sprint had left him gasping. He looked pale, on the verge of passing out.
"Slow down, breathe," Chloe said calmly, though her own heart had begun to race. That uneasy feeling was turning into full-blown dread.
Zachary tightened his hold on her hand, his voice strained but urgent. "Oralia's hurt. She was attacked. She said... Robert's been taken."
Eugene stepped forward immediately, his face darkening. "What did you say?"
Chloe went still. "Robert was taken?" she repeated, the words hanging heavily in the air.
Vincent moved closer, his expression sharpening. This had happened right under their noses—it was more than a provocation now.
