Chapter 2031



Bella's crystal-clear eyes narrowed sharply.

Chris...

The name "Chris" echoed faintly in her ears. It was a distant memory she had nearly buried in the past.

The image of the gentle, pale-skinned boy who once smiled so warmly resurfaced in her mind.

However, the harsh realities of life consumed that boy. He became a demon who brought suffering to others.

With no other choice, but for the sake of her loved ones, the people he controlled, and those he harmed, she had to rid the world of this evil.

Seeing Bella lost in thought, Christopher mistook her hesitation as a sign of emotional sway.

His intense desire surged uncontrollably in his chest. He leaned closer, his breathing heavy, his long lashes lowered as he moved in to kiss her lips, which he had yearned for.

A sharp click cut through the darkness.

In an instant, Christopher's tall, slender body froze.

Along with the icy chill at his neck, he felt a sharp, cool sensation. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a pale smile played on his lips as he spoke, “Bella, your skills are just as good as before.

Bella's eyes were as cold and sharp as a blade, her butterfly knife pressing firmly against his trembling throat.
