Chapter 1: Prologue

"Elliana Lyle, do you have a death wish?"

Shane Southwell’s voice was deep, his handsome face appeared particularly chilling under the chandelier, and the murderous intent in his dark eyes was unmistakable.

His distinctly jointed hand clutched a crystal-clear vase, seemingly ready to smash it onto Elliana Lyle’s forehead at any moment.

Elliana lay on the ground, her ears ringing, her face still stinging painfully from the slap she just received from the man.

Her lower abdomen had collided with the corner of the sofa, and the dull pain made it difficult for her to endure, even her voice trembled.

Elliana shook her head: "No... I didn’t... didn’t... I didn’t..."

The butler stood cautiously to the side, occasionally lowering his gaze to sneak a glance at Elliana.

No one in this house dared to speak for the young mistress who had made a mistake, and all the servants uniformly bowed their heads silently.

The chandelier in the living room was so bright it hurt the eyes. Elliana cautiously lifted her head, sweat beading on her forehead and dampening her bangs.

Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with fear.

Seeing the man say nothing, she tried to shake her head and struggled to raise half her body, stammering in explanation: "I didn’t, I didn’t hurt her. She called me to her house. She said... she said there’s something from you for me."

Just this morning, Eleanor Llyod had called Elliana.

On the other end, Eleanor said she decided to let go of Shane Southwell, saying she had something of Shane’s to return to her, asking her to come and get it.

Eleanor was Shane’s first love and the object of her jealousy.

She knew Shane loved Eleanor and knew she couldn’t compare to Eleanor. She admitted she felt happy when Eleanor said she wanted to let go.

But later when Eleanor got hurt, she knew nothing about it. She absolutely didn’t have the courage to hurt Eleanor.

"Ha, you say you didn’t, so you didn’t?" The man’s eyes were chillingly cold, as if looking at someone about to die. Such a gaze made Elliana’s spine shiver.
