His demeanor was cold and intense as he proceeded directly to the cell where Mekhi was detained.
The iron gate creaked and swung open.
Mekhi, whose hands were bound to the wooden frame individually, slowly raised his head and offered a smile to the man approaching.
Back for more questioning, right? It looks like youve uncovered the truth.
About fifteen minutes prior to Nathans arrival, Mekhi had been tied to the wooden frame.

Without a word, Nathan advanced toward Mekhi, his anger evident.
He raised his hand and delivered a forceful blow to the left side of Mekhis face, causing a rapid swelling at the corner of his mouth.
Youve been using drugs. Tell me, when did you start?
In this moment, Mekhi chuckled and recounted, I think I began when I was newly promoted to the role of deputy director. Back then, you were exceedingly stringent with me. No matter how hard I toiled, I received no praise from you. If I failed, I faced harsh consequences. I found myself under immense pressure and perceived things as unjust, so I turned to drugs to ease my stress. Its a terrible habit. Once I dabbled in it, I couldnt break free.
The more Nathan listened, the more furious he became. He tossed all the copies of the evidence Sonny had organized in Mekhis direction.
Look at the mess youve caused! As deputy director, dont you feel awful?
Looking at the scattered papers on the floor, Mekhi smiled indifferently. I did it for money and power. I regret it now, but its too late. You wont let me off.

Nathan seized Mekhis collar and inquired coldly, Did you intentionally murder Kaitlin to frame Kyson?
This was the gravest accusation.

One that would determine whether Mekhi would face a life or death sentence in the days ahead.
The puffiness on his left cheek didnt spoil his nice features.
His resemblance to Kyson was uncanny, except for the color of his eyes.
While Kyson had bright blue eyes that shone like stars, giving him a princely and enigmatic aura, Mekhis eyes were deep brown, sharper, and enhanced his handsomeness.
His look made him look upright and honorable.
He burst into laughter like a madman, evading the question. Ive lost. If Im sentenced to a high-security prison for life, I might lose my mind. Id prefer a quick death, Nathan.
A quick death?
