Chapter 264:

Carlos’s POV

It felt as though a lightning bolt had struck the room, freezing the very air in my chest. Did they truly break up this quickly? Robert the man who used to look at her as if she were his most precious possession was the one who discarded her? Julie’s shattered features were screaming with pain, her body trembling with small spasms she couldn’t control. Was she just a passing whim? Did he tire of her body that fast? And even worse, he wants to force her to work as a maid! The cruel Robert had reared his head again, but this time in an even more brutal version.

"What?" I asked in total disbelief, my eyes darting between Robert’s stiff face and Julie’s pallid one. "A maid? Have you completely lost your mind, Robert?"

He didn’t look at me. Instead, he kept his dark eyes fixed on Julie. I saw his jaw working powerfully as if he were grinding stone. "Julie... don’t force me to use strength and remove you from here in a way you won’t like," he said sharply, the veins in his neck bulging clearly against his shirt collar.

Julie replied with a bitterness dripping from her voice, a scathing sarcasm shaking her slender frame. "Oh, really? Are you going to hit me now? Will you complete the cycle of violence you started in the bedroom? Because I saw very clearly the amount of cruelty you can unleash upon my body!"

I felt my blood boiling in my veins like volcanic lava; those words lashed me like a whip. Did he treat her with cruelty in their bed? Did he dare to hurt that delicate body? I took a wide stride toward Robert, my chest muscles tensing as I confronted him. "Did you treat her with cruelty, Robert? Did you touch her violently? Answer me!"

He replied with an infuriating coldness, his eyes still frozen like ice. "Carlos... this is a private matter between her and me. Do not interfere in what does not concern you."

"How can I not interfere when I see a woman being humiliated before my eyes?" I shouted at him, my voice echoing sharply through the office. "How can I not interfere when you are destroying her like this?!"

He raised a warning hand, and I saw his fist clench tightly. "Carlos... stay away from this. This is the last time I warn you."

Julie stood between us with a wounded pride. Though tears were drowning her eyes, her gaze burned with defiance. Her chest heaved rapidly behind her shirt. "Listen to me well..." she said, her voice trembling but sharp. "I will not be a maid for you or anyone else, and I will not allow you to humiliate my dignity any further. If you are finished with me, let me leave this goddamn prison now!"

A heavy silence fell for a second, then Robert uttered words that were like a bomb shattering what remained of the calm. "I bought you with my money, Julie... and you are mine, legally and in reality. Therefore, you cannot go anywhere without my permission."

I was completely shocked, a profound disgust crawling up my throat. After all those feelings, after all those nights where I thought he loved her, was he back to treating her like mere merchandise he bought from the market? Had the mask finally fallen off the monster?
