Chapter 178
Rafael’s thoughts raced as he recalled the events of the previous night. Odalys had exposed his dirty secrets–how he had been stealing women’s Inumate clothing.
His reputation was tamished, and now, he found himself at the mercy of Oilalys again.
He, a man who had instilled fear in many, had never encountered a woman who wasn’t intimidated by him. Yet, Odalys dared to look him in the eyes without flusching.
“What injury? Why are you here looking for me? We haven’t even net today. Odalys teased with a smile, her tone mocking
She paused as if realizing something. “Oh, wait–you’re not still obsessed, are you? A few days ago, you tried to drag someone into a room, but you were interrupted. So, you came here to steal others‘ intimate clothes out of spite?”
“Last night. I stopped your little scheme, and now you’re holding a grudge, trying to frame me?” Odalys mused, as if she together.
Each word from her lips fueled Rafael’s anger, but he couldn’t speak–he was choking on his own rage,

“You” Rafael sputtered, unable to hold it in. His fury built up so rapidly that he collapsed, his vision going black as the rage consumed him. “You better not try to frame me.” Odalys continued with an innocent expression. “Lucky for you, it’s broad daylight. If it were nighttime, I’d probably be scaring you to death.”
With a dramatic, almost mocking sigh. Odalys stood up, walking toward Rafael with a slow, deliberate pace.
She towered over him her voice lowering, full of menace. “You’re probably lonely in this village, aren’t you? So old, yet you can’t even find a wife. Isn’t it frustrating, staying in this desolate place? Why don’t you go out to the big city? There, you’ll find beautiful women everywhere. If you’ve got money, you can have any woman you want.”
Her voice was quiet, but it was laden with a kind of seductive malice that immediately made Rafael’s eyes flash with desire and envy. Nobody wanted to stay in a place like this. The village was dreary, and the air felt stagnant.

But when the crew arrived to shoot a program, Rafael’s attention was piqued. These women were stunning–not only were their perfect, but they also represented a world he could never touch.
I can’t leave.” Rafael muttered to himself, caught between his dreams of escape and the grim reality that held him in Odalys, serising his frustration, smiled sweetly. “We’ll be leaving in a couple of days. I thought you might want to see the world, so I was thinking of

As he turned the comer, he spotted Francis standing nearly, clearly waiting for him.
“What are you doing here? Stellan asked, surprised to see him.

“We weren’t exactly on the best terms before, but we can put that aside for now. Let’s see how this plays out,” Francis whispered, his voice low and
The two men, tall and broad–shouldered, stood out even in the shadows. As they peered into the window, they saw Rafael, having removed his shirt, pacing angrily back and forth.
“Shit, that woman.
How did she know I was hiding in here? And why the hell is my wound still bleeding!! Rafael muttered to himself, frustration seeping into his words.
He was trying desperately to stop the blood flow, but nothing seemed to work.
His hands trembled as he took out a needle and thread, attempting to sew up the gaping wound without any anesthesia. The makeshift stitching was painful, but it didn’t stop the blood from flowing.
Rafael pulled out some hemostatic powder and poured it onto his wound, gritting his teeth.
“Damm it, a bunch of ungrateful women, daring to refuse me. I’ve never been humiliated like this, and they think I’ll just leave in a few days?” He muttered, his voice a low growl.
“Since I’m here, there’s no way they’re getting out of my grasp. All of them will be mine. I’ll make them all my wives” He clenched his fists, the thought furling his anger
The words Odalys had said kept echoing in his ears. In big cities, there were beautiful women everywhere, yet here he was, stuck in this remote mountain village with hardly any women to be found
His desire for them burned–he wanted them, wanted them to bear his children

more desperate by the minute.
“No one can stop me. His voice was steely, as he slumped into a chair, exhausted but determined.
But as soon as he sat down, he realized the bleeding had started again, much worse than before. Blood poured from his wound, soaking through his clothes, flowing down in a steady stream. He pressed his hand to the wound, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop.
“What the hell is happening?” Rafael’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Did that bitch coat her weapon in poison when she stabbed me!”
Panic began to rise in his chest. He sprang to his feet, panic–stricken, and rushed for the door.
Even someone as stupid as him knew–if the bleeding didn’t stop soon, he’d die right here in this damned village,
Fear gnawed at him. He had been in control of this entire village, but now he couldn’t even control his own fate. His life was slipping away. “I’m going to find her. If she doesn’t give me the antidote, I’ll kill her, her

“What the hell?” Rafael was stunned.
He kicked the door with all his might, and after a few moments, it finally creaked open. But the second he stepped outside, he found himself running in circles, his legs carrying him in a direction he didn’t recognize. It was like he was trapped in some kind of maze–like a ghost was messing with him.
What did you do in his room?” Stellan asked, his voler a mix of disbelief and awe
This was the first time he had witnessed something like this, and he couldn’t wrap his head around it.
He had heard of people getting lost in loops like this, but seeing it with his own eyes was something else entirely
It was far meer intense than anything lar had seen in a movie.
“Odalys must have set up some kind of spell before ale left his house, Francis explained quietly. “When she came earlier, she must’ve made sure the stones in front of his four were displaced. I just followed her lead and kicked them out of the way”
He shrugged one halantly. It was just a little task, but who would’ve guessed it would u

The two men stood there in the rain, watching Rafael’s desperate attempts to escape. For the first time, they both secretly relished the sight of his suffering. It was like witnessing someone finally get what they deserved.
Suddenly, Rafael whipped around and charged toward them.
“Shit Francis jumped back, his heart pounding.
Rafael’s face was contorted with fury and terror. He stormed toward the window, locking eyes with Francis and Stellan, his gaze wild and full of
