Beray was surprised when he felt the male flick his head, smirking a bit since he knew that it was real...all of this. "You chose this as your reward?" Beray muttered, almost frowning at the thought, but what made him feel worse was when Ashley mentioned the woman from the first week...
"Don't blame yourself. Me, you, Troy, all of us were put into this place without choosing...so you can't blame yourself for the horrible things happening." Beray said softly before looking at Isabella who walked closer and crouched beside Ashley as well as the other male.
"Do you know who took this woman?" She asked.
Beray shook his head and sighed. "All I know is..two men in black clothing dragged her out." Hugging Ashley tight at the memory, Beray closed his eyes tight in an attempt to forget.
"I can try finding the person that has her. Promise...for now, how about I bring you to your new home? And sign the papers." Isabella offered.
Beray smiled again, nodding slowly while looking back at Ashley. "Thank you." he whispered, knowing he was the reason all of this happened...and he couldn't be more thankful for it.
