Chapter 363

"Isadora!"

Magnus shouted her name.

Isadora heard the man's voice behind her; her eyes flickered, barely betraying any emotion. At the same time, the strong arm around her waist tightened suddenly, possessive and unyielding.

In just a few strides, Magnus blocked their path, planting himself firmly in front of them.

Victor's handsome face was cold and aloof. He curled his lips into a faint, mocking smile. "What is it? Want to see how sharp my aim is tonight?"

Magnus scowled, ignoring Victor completely. His dark eyes were fixed on Isadora, intense and unwavering.

"Isadora, I need to talk to you. Alone."

Before Isadora could reply, Victor cut in without warning. "No."

Magnus clenched his jaw, his voice tight with anger. "Victor, I wasn't talking to you!"

He turned back to Isadora, his gaze deep and desperate. His voice softened, almost pleading. "Isadora, please. Will you?"

Isadora could feel the temperature drop beside her, Victor's presence turning as cold and forbidding as a winter night.

She looked at Magnus and spoke evenly, "There's nothing left for us to say."

Magnus's breath hitched. The color drained from his face, and his fists tightened until his knuckles turned white.
