"What does it matter to you whether I care about Lucas or not? You're nothing but a despicable coward, hiding in the shadows. You don't even dare to show your face or use your own voice. What exactly do you want?" Aveline spat out, unable to see anything, completely

restrained and unable to fight back physically.

She could only try to attack him with her words.

Even now, she had no idea who he was or what his intentions were.

Aveline froze. He wouldn't use her to control Lucas? Then what did he want?

"I only ask you one thing-do you still care about Lucas?" the voice repeated.

"I don't!" Aveline replied coldly.

The grip on her wrists loosened slightly, but her brows remained furrowed.
