The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1108:

Lila’s body was smashed into the wall before crashing hard onto the floor.

“What was that?” Brenna demanded, pressing her foot hard against Lila’s chest. “Repeat it.”

The increasing pressure made Lila gasp, her ribs aching as if they might snap. “I can’t breathe,” she whimpered, fear lacing her voice.

The guard intercepted Seth, catching him mid-lunge. “Stay back, kid, or you’ll get hit, too,” he warned coldly.

But Seth, too young to grasp the danger, thrashed wildly, scratching at the guard with both hands and screaming, “Let her go! Let my mom go!”

Unfazed by the boy’s age, the guard silenced him with a sharp slap across the face.
