Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 913

Tiana's face was a mask of tension, her large eyes swimming with panic, barely flickering.

Why was he here?

Did he hear everything?

Her fists clenched tightly at her sides, his gaze upon her was calm yet it felt like it was tearing her apart. His mocking smirk sent shivers down her spine, her back prickling with unease...

She didn't even notice her nails digging into her palms until they broke the skin.

Her mind raced, replaying what she had said in her attempt to strike fatal blow to Endora's reputation.

Upon seeing Parker, Alice screamed dramatically, "Parker! It's a disaster! Your darling Endora's nearly been killed by her cousin! There's so much blood... her wrist is broken... Where in the world is the doctor?!"

Cato didn't bother looking for a doctor; instead, he wailed, "Endora, Endora, please wake up, just say something to me!"

Endora, barely clinging to life on the floor, reached out to Parker, her eyes streaked with tears, "Parker, I can't make it. Don't blame Tiana, maybe she's just upset about our upcoming wedding and acted out in a moment of jealousy. But it hurts so much, I think I'm dying..." Parker's gaze shifted from Tiana's face to the pool of blood on the floor.

He rushed forward, his tall frame brushing past Tiana, who nearly fell to the ground as she staggered back.
