Chapter 55

The two in the living room had fought for two rounds.

Sheena missed her first strike, and she could not match Elijah’s physical strength in the subsequent endurance battle. Additionally, her high heels were inconveniencing her. Before she knew it, she was pushed back against the wall.

Elijah smirked as he grabbed firmly onto her left wrist, attempting to press her against the wall.

It was the same tactic he had used in their previous encounters.

But this time, Sheena had learned her lesson and knew he wanted to pin her hands to the wall, leaving her vulnerable. As he focused on her left hand, she discreetly released the hidden clasp on her emerald ring, revealing a small silver needle.

Elijah was caught off guard as the silver needle from her ring pressed against his throat.

Thankfully, Sheena always wore the ring that Noah had given her for self–defense, and while the silver needle was small, it was exceptionally sturdy.

The two were so close that they could clearly hear each other’s breathing.
