Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Noelle … Nicolas stared at her , stunned .

Even Brandons expression darkened as he spat , You actually … The knife in Noelles hand hadnt pierced Nicolas but her own palm .

The blade went clean through , skewering her hand entirely .

Blood spilled down in thick drops , trailing along the metal and splashing to the ground .

Noelle stumbled backward from the pain , her body trembling , sweat beading on her brow .

But in that agony , she found a sliver of clarity .

Gritting her teeth , she looked straight at Brandon , shaking her head .

No , she said hoarsely .

I wont kill Nicolas .

Brandons face turned grim Cone was the calm , composed demeanor replaced by a stormy darkness , Even after tightening the grip of the neural conditioning , she was still resisting .

His eyes narrowed , and he issued the command again , this time louder , sharper .

Noelle .

I command you kill Nicolas Now .

The impulse surged again fierce and suffocating .

Her instincts itched to obey .

But Noelle shook her head violently , retreating step by step .

I wont Brandons focus narrowed entirely on her .

That was the opening Nicolas needed .

He fired .

The shot rang out , sharp and sudden .

But it didnt hit Brandon turned his head slightly , and the bullet merely grazed his cheek leaving behind a red trail across his face .

He raised a hand , wiped the blood away, and looked at Nicolas with a mock smile , Cheap shot . Pretty cowardly .
