Chapter 51: Blood and Betrayal đșđ„đ
Lia
I stand frozen, my heart pounding so loud it echoes in my ears, as this guy walks into the hall.
His cold voice cuts through the air like a sharp blade, slicing everything quiet. He moves with steady steps, slow but heavy, like he owns the place already.
When he stops right in front of me, his eyes glint with something hard and sharp, like steel, like he's already sizing me up, measuring me, judging me.
I keep my chin high, staring back, my chest tight but my voice steady, sharp enough to bite. "Who the hell are you?"
He laughs. It's not a warm laugh, not a laugh that carries joy. It's low and mocking, curling in the air like smoke. The sound makes my skin crawl, like something poisonous is slipping under my skin.
His smirk grows wide, but his eyes stay cold, colder than ice. "You're pretty dumb, huh?" he says, his voice smooth but dripping with venom. "I'm your brother, Lia."
