Aveline eyed him warily, his dark, piercing gaze fixed on her as if she were already his prey.

Memories of past traumas resurfaced, and she bit her lip, suddenly raising the kitchen knife to her own throat.

"You're right, I don't dare to hurt you, but that doesn't mean I won't harm myself. Lucas, if you take one more step, I'll cut myself. Let's see if you can keep talking like this while facing a corpse!"

Lucas stopped in his tracks, the playful expression vanishing from his face as he glared at her, his gaze dark and intense. "Put the knife down!"

Lucas remained still, his gaze locked on her with a menacing intensity.

Lucas' eyes narrowed in shock.

In an instant, he lunged forward, snatching the knife from her grasp before she could react. The knife clattered to the floor.
