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.

It was identical to the one he wore six years ago on the night that had scarred her life.

Tears welled in her eyes as she gasped for air, her body shaking uncontrollably, her gaze fixed on him, tears streaming down her cheeks…

Tarquin felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, a deep ache.

With the echo of his words still hanging in the air, a slap landed fiercely on his face.
