If I was author I would make mc see the face of the guy in the basement. Then would've had the love interest say yes that man is dead when mc asks and threaten that he'll be next if he tells anyone what he saw (and at worse threaten the grandma). They'll probably go separate ways after this with the mc now thinking love interest is terrible. BUT later on he'll see the guy who was in the basement alive. Realize that love interest was lying and will start to question why he lied and if his threat was just a lie too. Come to realization that love interest was pushing him away to keep mc away from this life style. And then mc will leave the island to search for the love interest. BAM that's how easy it is to avoid using SA to move things along in ur writing.
The love interest says he was selfish for continuing the relationship knowing mc trauma with loan sharks then doing something like this really makes him a real asshole and their relationship unredeemable.
Bro already got trauma now u wanna give him more??! Just seems like another selfish act .
