Chapter 191 Kristian Was

Drugged

Tm hurt?” Freya asked.

“A staff member said you fell earlier, and it looked serious.” Kristian had come running the moment he got wind of it.

Freya stiffened, then suddenly pieced it all together.

Just as she opened her mouth to tell him, “You’ve been tricked,” the door slammed shut with a sharp bang. A figure in black–masked, hat pulled low–stood behind it.

The noise snapped Kristian’s head around.

In that fleeting instant, something clicked. “You’re okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine,” Freya replied, her voice as composed as ever.

Hearing that, Kristian’s shoulders eased slightly, and he turned back to the door, trying to open it.

(Freya’s gaze fixed on the door. If Kristian actually managed to open it, she’d be stunned.

As expected, he yanked at it a few times, but it was sealed tight.

Kristian’s brow furrowed. This room was more isolated than the others. Everyone else was downstairs on the first floor. Even if he pounded on the door, no one would hear a thing.

After a beat, he pulled out his phone to call for help–only to find he had no signal.

Freya caught on too,

“No signal,” Kristian muttered, his face clouding over.

“It’s probably that man behind Ashley making his move,” Freya said steadily. At most, they’d be stuck in here for two or three hours.

Once the banquet downstairs ended and her father noticed her absence, he’d come looking.

It was just a matter of riding out a few hours in the same space as someone she didn’t exactly care for.

Kristian slipped his phone back into his pocket and started searching the room.

Freya joined him. No signal meant something was jamming it.

Still, if this was the handiwork of that man, the device wouldn’t be easy to find. He was too meticulous to leave anything behind.

Even if they suspected him, finding solid proof was nearly impossible.

They scoured the room in focused silence for ten minutes. Then, suddenly, a flush of heat surged through Kristian’s body. He instinctively shrugged off his jacket and loosened the top two buttons of his shirt.

But the heat refused to relent.

He paced a bit, then walked over to the air conditioner and lowered the temperature.

Freya watched him with a faint frown. Was it really that warm?

Five more minutes crawled by.

Kristian wasn’t just overheating now–something deeper, wilder, more uncontrollable was surging through him. It felt…

Wait

A sick realization hit him.

He froze, focusing inward. His face darkened. He’d been drugged–without even realizing it.

“Freya,” he called, voice low and magnetic, thick with an edge he didn’t mean to have.

Freya turned, her wide eyes ringed with lashes, curious and watchful. She caught the look in his eyes and her brows creased. “What is it?”

“Do you feel anything strange in your system?” Kristian asked, his voice raspier now, as the heat inside him threatened to overwhelm him.

Freya blinked.

Her body had always had a higher tolerance for drugs, so her reaction was slower.

Other than the odd scent she’d noticed when she first stepped inside, nothing had felt off–she’d been too focused on tracking the source of the signal block.

Seeing that she seemed fine, Kristian gave a warning. “Grab a towel, wet it, and cover your nose and mouth Try not to breathe the air directly.”

It wouldn’t fix everything, but it was something.

Freya hesitated, noticing the flushed color in his cheeks.

“Go,” Kristian urged, his voice low, eyes growing darker by the second.

Freya pulled a mask from her purse, went into the bathroom, dampened it, wrung it out, and slipped it on. The strange scent in the room faded almost instantly.

Once she stepped out, Kristian moved toward her.

Freya opened her mouth to ask what he was doing, but he stopped just in front of her. His voice was rough almost unfamiliar. “No matter what happens, don’t come in.”

Freya frowned.

“If you ignore me and I lose control and something happens, that’ll be on you.” Without waiting for a response, Kristian turned and disappeared into the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

Chapter 191 Kristian Was Drugged

A moment later, the sound of running water echoed through the room.

Freya instantly understood what he meant.

But if he’d been drugged like that, a cold shower wouldn’t do much, would it?

Kristian proved her right soon enough.

The icy water only cooled his skin–his body burned hotter than ever. The desire surged stronger than it had an their wedding night. It was relentless, maddening.

But one thing rang clear through it all. He couldn’t touch Freya. No matter how much they fought, how deep their resentment ran–she wasn’t his wife anymore. He couldn’t cross that line.
