When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1081

Suddenly, the sound of the doorbell interrupted her thoughts.

“Help… Hmm…” Amara was about to shout for help when suddenly, Wilbert clamped his hand over her mouth.

“Shut up!” Wilbert whispered sharply, his warning clear.

“Make a sound and it’s over for you.

”

He paused, listening as the doorbell echoed, soon followed by persistent knocking.

Only then did Wilbert grasp the seriousness of the situation.

He called out, “Just a second!”

Quickly, he dragged Amara into a room, locked the door behind them, and grabbed a hemp rope.

He tied her hands behind her back, making sure the knot was secure.

“Don’t try anything, or you’ll regret it.

”

“Wilbert…

“Shut up!” Wilbert snapped, his tone harsh.

He tied her legs too, pinching her cheeks as he gagged her with a piece of torn cloth.

“Shut the f@ck up,” he warned before leaving the room.

With everything secured, he made his way out of the room.

Wilbert peeked through the peephole.

Seeing the person at the door, he was taken aback.

His expression changed to a welcoming smile as he opened the door.

“Alex, what a surprise! What can I do for you?”

Ever since Stevie stepped down, Alex had taken over as the head of Fairwa.

He was highly respected by everyone, including Wilbert.

Watching Alex carefully, Wilbert tried to discern the reason for his unexpected visit.

Alex gave Wilbert a cold look.

“So, you’re not going to let me in?

Do you have someone else inside?”

Wilbert, caught off guard, quickly put on a smile.

“Oh, sorry, come on in.

It’s just me here.

I’ve been single for years.

No one else could be here, right?”

“Hmm,” Alex hummed, casually scanning the room before settling onto the sofa, crossing his legs.
