CHAPTER 70 Leave

  Ares POV

  "To search for Dana?" I replied, a smirk playing at the corners of my lips, the mockery evident in my tone.

  Bathel's eyes sparked with anger at my jest. "Don't you dare look for her in this place when you have hurt her," he growled, his voice laced with barely contained fury.

  I chuckled dismissively. "I didn't hurt her. You don't know the reasons behind my actions. There are valid explanations," I retorted, addressing his accusations with a hint of defensiveness.

  His jaw clenched in frustration. "Hurting her and humiliating her is a testament to your disrespect towards her," he declared vehemently, his anger palpable in his voice as he confronted me.

  I observed Bathel's escalating anger, noting with some satisfaction that my presence had succeeded in rattling him more than I had anticipated.
