In this chapter, desperate love clashes with ruthless cruelty, and the dirt beneath the keep’s polished floors is soaked with secrets. Let me guide you through every beating heartbeat and chilling moment of *The Untouchable Ex Wife*, Chapter 100.
---
The dungeon was a place where hope came to die. Deep beneath the fortress, the air was thick with the scent of rust and blood, and Joanne—the fragile woman who had dared to oppose Benjamin’s brutal methods—was paying a terrible price. She was being forced to have her body parts sold off piece by piece, sent to distant buyers who had no idea their “goods” had once been a living, breathing soul. The exits were heavily guarded, so that no one could intervene, no one could offer rescue. How horrible! How monstrous!
Liam’s hands trembled as he overheard whispers of what was happening to Joanne. His blood ran cold when he saw how casually the guards discussed the gruesome trade. *They’re so used to this,* he thought with sudden dread. *Will Boss be… no, he couldn’t think about that. He couldn’t allow himself to imagine what might already be happening to Renee.*
His heartbeat quickened, and he dared not think further. Practically speaking, it would be impossible to save Renee while under the guards’ strict watch. The dungeon was a fortress within a fortress. But every minute he wasted was another minute of torture for the woman he couldn’t bear to lose.
“No, I must save them. I can’t delay any longer!” Liam whispered through clenched teeth.
Driven by a panic that overshadowed all logic, he sprinted across the open courtyard and charged toward the dungeon entrance. His footsteps echoed too loudly, his ragged breath betrayed his urgency, and before he could reach the iron doors, two towering guards stepped into his path.
“Stop! The dungeon is a restricted area. Please show me your pass,” one of them demanded, his voice cold as stone.
“I don’t have a pass!” Liam snarled, his eyes blazing with defiance. “My girlfriend is in there, and I’ve come to get her back!”
The guards exchanged a dark glance, then smirked. “No pass, yet you want to barge in like a hero? Looks like we have an intruder. Well, don’t blame us for being harsh.”
In one fluid motion, they raised their weapons and aimed them directly at Liam’s head. These guards had dealt with reckless fools before. The procedure was simple: pull the trigger, drag the corpse away, and toss it into the ditch behind the fort. Liam was a breath away from becoming another discarded body.
“What are you doing? Let go of him!”
The sharp female voice cut through the tension. Amber came flying forward, her beautiful face flushed with urgency, and she threw herself between the guards and Liam, shielding him with her own body. The guards faltered; they recognized her immediately.
“Miss Jenkins, we’re just doing our duty. Please cooperate,” the guard said, though his voice had lost some of its confidence. “You should be aware of the rules in the fort. Anyone who wants to enter the dungeon must have proper authorization.”
But Amber’s chin rose stubbornly. In her hand was a gleaming plate of metal—Benjamin’s personal pass, the most powerful token of authority in the entire fortress. She brandished it like a queen declaring war.
“This pass,” she declared, her voice steady despite the fear flickering in her eyes. “Anyone with this pass can enter wherever they like. Or do you intend to question my father’s own decree?”
The two guards fell into a dilemma. The pass was real—unmistakably real. Guards like themselves, men of such small status, had no right to doubt it. If they disobeyed, the punishment would be swift and terrifying. They lowered their weapons and stepped back, their faces pale.
“As you wish, Miss Jenkins.”
And so, with the click of a heavy lock, Liam and Amber stepped into the dungeon’s chilly darkness. The doors slammed shut behind them, sealing off the light. Behind them, the guards immediately rushed to report the incident to Benjamin.
The news spread like wildfire through the fortress. When Benjamin’s four foster sons heard what had happened, their rage exploded like lightning over dry land. They wanted nothing more than to hack Liam to pieces.
“Master, Liam is way out of line!” Mateo burst out furiously, his fists shaking. “How dare he instigate Miss Jenkins to steal your personal pass? If this goes on, she’ll even give up her life for him!”
Mateo’s anger wasn’t just about pride. He had long harbored a secret crush on Amber, and seeing her so easily manipulated by a stranger awakened a jealousy that burned hotter than any anger. He was terrified that Amber, with her pure and kind heart, might do something truly outrageous under Liam’s influence.
But if Benjamin lost his temper, he might very well punish his own daughter—a thought that made Mateo’s stomach twist in knots.
Danny, Benjamin’s eldest foster son, was far less conflicted. He lounged in the shadows with a cruel smile playing on his lips. “Miss Jenkins is a pure and kind woman, so she can’t be bewitched by a cunning man like Liam,” he said impatiently. “Let’s forget about our past friendship, hack Liam into pieces, and sell him to others. That will solve this whole problem neatly.”
To Danny, human lives were worthless toys—nothing more than merchandise to be traded, broken, and discarded as needed. If someone became a nuisance, they were simply eliminated. That was the rule of this world. That was the law of the fortress.
The air in the room grew heavy with agreement. The foster sons had made their decision.
Meanwhile, somewhere far below in the cold, dripping dungeon, Liam walked forward step by step, his eyes scanning the shadows for the woman he loved. Amber followed close behind, her heart pounding. She knew the danger she had just placed herself in. She knew her father would show no mercy. Yet she continued to walk deeper into the darkness beside Liam.
Because sometimes, even in hell, the only thing stronger than fear is love.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating**
What a gripping chapter! The contrast between Liam’s desperate heroism and Benjamin’s foster sons’ chilling cruelty makes for an incredibly tense reading experience. I loved how Amber bravely stepped in—she isn’t just a passive princess; she risked everything by challenging the guards and defying her own father’s rules. The pacing was excellent: first the horrifying reminder of Joanne’s fate, then the quick confrontation at the gates, and finally that ominous deliberation of the foster sons. You can feel the noose tightening around Liam after every page.
My heart is racing right now because I know this rescue attempt is far from safe. Liam and Amber are now inside the lion’s den, and the lions are already sharpening their claws.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction**
Liam and Amber will likely find not only Renee but also witness the horrifying conditions inside the dungeon—a place that will make them realize just how deep Benjamin’s evil runs. But time is running out, because Benjamin’s foster sons are preparing to storm the dungeon after them. I predict a shocking confrontation, perhaps Benjamin himself will appear, and Amber might be forced to choose between her father and the man she has come to care for. Will Liam manage to get Renee out before the guards close in, or will this desperate rescue become a tomb for them all?
