The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 331

Lyra stormed out into the open, chased closely by Sophia.

"Lyra! What the hell are you doing to Laura? I've never seen you like this before!"

Sophia had known Lyra for years. She'd always seemed kind, gentle even. This ruthless side was completely new and terrifying.

Ignoring Sophia, Lyra walked toward a nearby pond, plunging her blood-stained hands into the water.

She watched the blood swirl away and muttered, "You don't really know me, Sophia."

She moved slowly to a bench beneath a tree, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.

"You told me you'd quit!" Sophia said, voice trembling with disappointment.

"I did quit,” Lyra exhaled sharply, blowing smoke into the sky.

"Three whole years. But today I broke it. I need this, Sophia."

Sophia stared in disbelief, struggling to find words. "How-how can you shoot people like this?"

Lyra shrugged, her tone cool and distant. "I practice at a shooting range. I have licenses for all my guns."

“You kill people, Lyra!” Sophia shouted, her voice cracking with emotion.

Lyra met Sophia's eyes, confusion and something darker flickering across her face.

“Yeah. And honestly? It doesn't bother me.”

"You're ending lives!" Sophia insisted desperately.

Lyra crushed her cigarette into the dirt, standing up slowly, eyes hardened with defiance.

"Sophia, I've never felt truly alive. This world, this life—it's hell for me. The only things that ever make me feel alive are money and.....” She paused, her voice dropping softly.

Sophia held her breath, waiting anxiously for Lyra's next words.

“Alex,” Lyra whispered.

“Alex?" Sophia repeated, stunned. Her voice barely more than a whisper.

"Yes, Alex,” Lyra admitted, eyes blazing with intense passion.

"I need you to know—I love Alex. He's everything to me. And yes, he's your ex-husband, which makes me grateful, honestly. It means I don't have to compete with you."

“What?” Sophia gasped, reeling from shock. She'd never imagined Lyra—who once openly despised Alex- could possibly feel this way.
