Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 284

"Don't test me right now."

Isadora's gaze flickered. Her arm and thigh, freshly treated with ointment, felt cool and soothed. She kept her head down and spoke quietly. "He saved my life tonight."

Victor let out a single, sharp laugh, his voice as cold as ice shattering on stone. "So what-now you feel you owe him your heart?"

She understood instantly that Victor had gotten the wrong idea.

She couldn't help remembering Magnus shoving her aside, taking the knife meant for her, bleeding out in front of her eyes.

No matter who he was, anyone who'd protect her like that deserved her gratitude.

She shook her head. "No, that's not it."

"Isn't it?" Victor pressed, his tone icy. "Didn't it move you?"

Isadora lifted her head, her clear eyes meeting Victor's. "He saved me. The least I can do is wait until he wakes up before I go."

Victor stared at her, the warmth in his eyes fading away, leaving nothing but chill.
