Chapter 189: Chapter 189: The Kiss That Shouldn’t Have Happened

Serena’s POV~

I glared at him, my patience hanging by a single fragile thread. "What will you take? Leave me alone, Kiel," I snapped, each word sharp enough to cut.

He didn’t even flinch. Of course he didn’t. He just tilted his head slightly, that infuriatingly smug smile tugging at his lips. "Maybe a kiss," he said, voice lazy, teasing like this was all a joke to him.

My steps halted. My breath caught, just for a second, before I turned to face him. His eyes widened, just a little, as if realizing he might have gone too far. But it was too late. Something inside me shifted...a spark snapping against my chest, hot and dangerous.

My lips curled into a smirk. "A kiss, huh?" I said softly, though there was nothing soft in the way I looked at him.

The way his expression faltered—that brief flicker of surprise sent a strange thrill through me. He wasn’t expecting me to react. He never does.
