Chapter 434: Questioning

Olivia’s POV

She didn’t respond.

Not a word.

I had expected Selene to snap, to shout at me, to curse me for spouting such nonsense. But instead... she just looked away. Her lips trembled, and her silence gave me the only answer I needed.

My eyes widened, fear rushing through me like ice.

If she had truly fallen for him... if Selene was in love with Frederick... then she would never have the guts to kill him.

And the Selene sitting calmly before me was no longer the same woman I had met days ago. That Selene had been fierce, heart like stone, her eyes sharp and cold with nothing but revenge. But this one? She looked... softer. Shaken. Almost fragile.

Different. So very different.

It was strange—how quickly love, or something like it, could change a person.

"This is ridiculous!" I spat, unable to stop myself. "You were supposed to kill him, not fall in love with him!"

My voice came out too loud, echoing through the walls. I quickly clamped my mouth shut, my heart hammering, my eyes darting toward the door to make sure Frederick wasn’t lurking close enough to overhear.

I drew a shaky breath, lowering my tone, but the anger in me still burned. "Do you even realize what you’re doing, Selene? You’re ruining everything. The plan. Our chance. Everything we’ve worked for."

I hated how my voice cracked.

The worst part? I understood.

Frederick was so damn handsome. His silver hair, aura, his sharp beauty, his commanding presence—it was too easy for anyone to be drawn in. Too easy to imagine yourself falling into his arms, losing yourself in him.
