Chapter 11

• “What!” Adrian gasped out in shock with a surprised look on his face. He couldn't understand why they wanted to arrest him just because he was having a nice time with his wife. Wasn't Sarah his wife? Why all of this? He wished he could get an answer to those questions that were disturbing his mind but he couldn't.
• He was clueless with no direction. Once again, he would be cheated upon.
• “Come with you to your custody? What do you mean, officer?” Adrian asked with a confused look, his heart was racing rapidly.
• “Yes, you have to come with me to the custody for interrogation,” the officer said in a cold tone and Brianna hissed.
• “What's the meaning of this, officer? I told you that he has sex with my daughter. He assaulted her and you're saying you want to take him away for interrogation.”
• “I thought you were supposed to take him away and lock him up in a cell,” Brianna said in an angry tone as she turned to the officer.
• “That's enough, madam. You can't tell me what to do so let me do my job,” he said in an authoritative tone and she scoffed.
• The officer brought out his handcuff and turned his cold gaze to Adrian, who was lying on the bed.
• “Stand up and let's leave, Mr. Adrian,” the officer said but Adrian shook his head in refusal.
• He couldn't let the officer take him away even when the culprit was in their midst and he could proceed with his plan if he went to custody with the officer.
• He knew he couldn't afford to go against the officer as well so he decided to come up with a way.
• “I can't leave with you because I did nothing to assault her. She's my wife,” he said adamantly.
• “It's better to keep quiet and follow me because anything you do or say will be used against you in a court of law,” the officer said and Adrian shook his head with a sigh.
• “I’ll go with you without a struggle if you can help me with one thing,” he said.
• “One thing? What is it?” The officer asked with a deep frown on his face.
• “I want to check the surveillance cameras to show how my wife was brought into this hotel. She didn't believe that it was Brian who brought her to this place,” he said and Brianna cocked her eyebrows.
• “It was Brian?” She asked with a confused look on her face.
• “Yes. I couldn't tell you because you chose to believe a stranger over your daughter's husband who has been living with you for years,” he said, with his voice dripping with coldness.
• There wasn't any change in her demeanor. She remained cold and indifferent.
• “You haven't answered my question. How does this concern Brian?” She asked.
• “That's because he drugged her and she was in a subconscious state when he brought her here that's why she couldn't remember what happened last night,” he said.
• “Stop saying nonsense, Adrian. Why are you with her since you claimed that I brought her to this place?” He asked.
• “That’s because I caught you red-handed before you could have sex with her,” Adrian half-yelled at him and he winked at him discreetly.
• She remained silent for a while, unable to fathom what was happening.
• “That's true. Why are you with her, Adrian?” Brianna asked with a cold tone and Adrian kept quiet for a while.
• “That’s because I tried to save her. Since he claimed that he didn't know anything about the incident, how did he manage to locate us?” Adrian asked and they turned to Brian, who looked away with a guilty look on his face.
• “That's a lie. I didn't bring her,” he said and wiped the bead of sweat that formed on her forehead.
• “You haven't answered my question,” Smith insisted.
• “I… I tracked her phone after realizing that her phone had died and it was unreachable so I rushed here,” Brian hesitated for a while before speaking.
• “If you didn't bring her, why did you bring the officer along…” Brianna interrupted him before he could complete his statement.
• “Will you keep quiet and stop arguing with the officer of law?” she asked with a cold look.
• “What do you need me to do for you?” The officer asked in a calm tone, ignoring Brianna's statement.
• He has a calm attitude. Although he was ordered to arrest Adrian, he didn't like how he was abused in his presence.
• “Please can we check the surveillance cameras to see if he brought my wife here or not?” He asked and the officer nodded his head.
• “You guys should remain here while I get the footage from the control room,” the officer said and walked toward the door.
• “But I don't think that's necessary…” Brian stammered and called the officer back.
• “Unless you have a hand in the incident, I would advise you to stay away,” the officer said coldly and walked out of the room.
• Adrian smirked at Brian discreetly. Brian hit on his lower lips and glared at Adrian coldly. He balled his hand into a fist. He wishes he could just strangle the handicapped man before him and make this beautiful lady before him his wife.
• He knew Brianna didn't like her daughter for someone like Adrian.
• “I’ll make sure you pay for what you did to my daughter, you scumbag,” she cursed at him but he paid no attention to her.
• He was impatiently waiting for the footage so that he could clear himself and they would be able to see the culprit.
• Shortly after, the officer came with the tape and a laptop. “After watching the footage, I couldn't find any clip of Mr. Brian bringing Mrs. Sarah to this house.”
• “What!” Adrian looked up with a shocked expression on his face.
• “This is it. You can see for yourself,” the officer said and handed the laptop to him then played the footage for him from the entrance of the hotel to the entrance of the hotel room where they were staying.
• A soft gasp left Adrian's lips after watching the footage without seeing any clip or footage where Brian brought his wife to the hotel as supposed.
• “As you can see, the clip showed that Mr. Brian has nothing to do with the appearance of your wife here.”
• “For this reason,
• you're under arrest, Mr. Adrian, for assaulting your wife,” the officer dropped the bombshell.
