Chapter 157

By the time Lowell arrived, a scrum of people was already sprawled out on the ground, writhing and groaning.

Tarquin had just made his way to Elysia’s side. With a furrowed brow and a complex look on his face, he draped his coat over her, shielding her from the cold floor.

Elysia lay there, gazing up at him. He was dressed in a black shirt with buttons made of polished black pearls that shimmered in the light.
