?Chapter 222:
Cliff sent the coordinates to Caden with quick precision.
Caden''s helicopter was already on its way to the location.
Gerry was still unsure of the depth of the connection between Caden and Alicia.
"Caden likes her and wants to be around her," Gerry said.
Cliff nodded, his expression thoughtful.
“She’s a capable woman.
”
Gerry agreed, but added: "They are both young.
Their rtionship seems unstable.
"
Cliff countered firmly, “Caden’s feelings aren’t the problem.
They’re stable.
”
Gerry raised an eyebrow, confused.
“Caden? Steady? He’s the most unpredictable person I know.
Haven’t you seen the news? He’s having an affair with Ynda now.
”
Cliff wasn''t interested in gossip.
Caden''s earlier order to proceed "at all costs" echoed in his mind.
They had grown up together, and although Cliff had spent most of his time in the military, he understood Caden better than most.
"He''s not unpredictable.
He''s in love," Cliff said firmly.
Gerry was shocked.
“In love? With whom?” he asked, still in disbelief.
Cliff pointed at the map, his gaze fixed as Caden''s red dot quickly approached Alicia''s location.
“Caden is in love with Alicia,” Cliff said bluntly.
Gerry was speechless.
Was Cliff serious? He couldn''t wrap his head around it.
Meanwhile, up on the mountain, Joshua''s sadistic game had only just begun.
He was having a great time.
Alicia sat, bound at the wrists and ankles, helpless in front of the camera.
From his seat, Joshua leaned forward with a twisted smile.
“The drug you gave me was so strong that I couldn’t function like a man for months.
Today you’re going to fix that.
You’re going to be my antidote.
”
His eyes swept over her body, shameless and disgusting.
His behavior made Alice want to vomit.
But she stood still, frozen.
She hadpletely lost the will to fight.
She felt like a statue: cold, lifeless and powerless.
He stared at his reflection in the camera screen.
There was no emotion on his face.
Joshua smiled.
“What’s the problem? Don’t you know how to please a man? Didn’t Caden teach you how to handle things in bed?”
At the mention of Caden''s name, Alicia''s eyshes fluttered slightly, betraying the slightest hint of excitement.
Impatient, Joshua roughly pulled Alicia into a hug.
His voice dripped with malice.
“Strip.
Seduce me.
I’ll film every second and send the first copy directly to Caden.
Then everyone will get to try it.
”
Alice responded to his vile words with a grimace.
Joshua leaned over to her and sneered.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you scared? If you y hard to get, I might get some on your face.

?You still have traces of the drug in your system.
You can''t even get an erection.
When this videoes out, everyone will wonder why you can''t perform.
So tell me, Joshua, who''s really going to be humiliated??
Me, or
Joshua couldn''t bear the humiliation and immediately pped her across the face.
Alicia''s head turned to the side.
His vision blurred and a ringing filled his ears.
Without hesitation, he pushed her to the ground.
Consumed by rage, Joshua barked orders at the men standing beside him.
"She''s yours now.
Do what you want.
Make her suffer.
"
Alice''s pupils contracted with fear.
Lewdughter filled the room as several men descended on her, ripping at her clothes.
Alice instinctively fought them off.
Unfortunately, they overpowered her.
They held her so tightly that her limbs were about to break.
Searing pain and terror consumed her, sweeping over her like a relentless wave.
At that moment, he felt totally helpless, like an insect about to be crushed.
He knew that survival was beyond his reach.
Joshua watched the scene, smoking his cigarette in silence.
His eyes remained fixed on Alice, waiting for her to show remorse, to beg for mercy.
But she did not move.
Her smooth skin was exposed, which seemed to fuel the men''s impatience.
One of them began to unbutton his pants, preparing for the unthinkable.
The sight disgusted Joshua.
“Stop!” he barked.
The men stood still, surprised by the sudden order.
Reluctantly, they stopped.
Joshua put Alicia''s clothes back in their ce and lifted her roughly.
"Alicia, are you really that stubborn? Would you rather be raped than give in?" Alicia looked at him with lifeless eyes.
His lips curved into a weak smile.
“Joshua, you are nothing but a vile, selfish coward.
Do you really think it’s worth it to beg you?”
Joshua narrowed his eyes.
The veins bulged on his forehead as a furiousugh escaped him.
“You’re going to regret saying that, Alice.
” Without warning, he shoved her aside and ordered Monica to be brought in.
Realizing what she was nning, Alicia''s body stiffened.
She lunged at Monica, screaming, "What are you doing? Leave her alone.
" Joshua grabbed her by the neck.
As the men mocked her, Alice could only watch in horror as Monica was dragged into the room across the street.
The men wasted no time in tearing off her clothes.
Monica was unable to resist as she was still unconscious.
Joshua watched as Alicia sobbed and thrashed in front of him,ughing like a viin.
“There are three cameras in this room.
In the morning, the whole world will see how Miss Flynn was raped,” he said cruelly.
Without thinking twice, Alice begged him.
"Joshua, I was wrong.
Please let her go.
I beg you, let her go!"
Joshua''s response was merciless.
"If I let her go, you''ll be the one to take her ce.
What do you think?" Alice''s legs buckled and she fell to her knees.
Desperation clouded her thoughts.
She couldn''t think of anything else to say, so she said, "Let her go.
"
Joshua stood over her.
“Alicia, if you do exactly what I tell you, I won’t post the video.
”
He knelt down and said to him, “You know who I despise the most.
Will you be my pawn and help me destroy him?” Just as his words hung in the air, a thunderous roar came from outside.
Joshua turned his attention to the sound.
A split secondter, a ck car crashed into the gate like a raging beast.
