Chapter 0459

"Nina... Follow me..."

I knew it wasn't real. I knew that it was just an illusion, a machination of my own mind. But damn it, if it didn't feel more real than anything at that moment.

The air around me grew colder, and an eerie silence enveloped the room. The chatter, the laughter, the music coming from downstairs-all of it almost seemed to have been swallowed by an engulfing void.

As I continued to gaze at the figure, its features became more distinct. It looked menacing, its eyes gleaming with malevolence. The corners of its lips curled into a malicious grin, revealing a set of impossibly white, razor-sharp teeth.

My heart raced, my palms growing sweaty against my knees. I felt an icy grip of fear clutching at my insides.

Then, just as my panic began to peak, the figure did something wholly unexpected-it took a running leap off the cliff, plummeting into the abyss of the ocean below.

"Come with me..."

I jumped, a sharp intake of breath escaping my lips. The suddenness of its disappearance left me reeling. I pressed my hand to my chest, trying to quell the pounding of my heart.

"Nina... Earth to Nina."

Enzo's voice pulled me back to reality. I blinked, the room coming back into focus, the comforting sounds of the party from downstairs filling my ears once more.
