Chapter 320

**Evening, at the corner of the dormitory building.**

Mila looked up, just a little, surprised to find Lysander standing in front of her. She hadn't expected to run into him—not after a year of silence. What surprised her even more was the confusion that washed over her as she took in his

appearance.

Now that he was this close, she could see how drawn and exhausted he looked. The sharp angles of his handsome face seemed a little broken, as if the past year had chipped away at him. Had something happened?

But what did any of that have to do with her?

They were supposed to be even less than strangers. The fact that Lysander had shown up and stopped her was already baffling enough.

Mila instinctively took a few steps back, putting space between them. Her expression was icy, unreadable. She said nothing just turned to leave.

There was nothing left to say between them.

But before she could move away, Lysander grabbed her arm. With a sudden tug, he pulled her roughly, and she stumbled, smacking into the wall behind her. He stepped in, trapping her between his body and the bricks, blocking any chance of escape.

Panic flickered in Mila's chest. She darted a glance around, anxious. She hadn't forgotten-Lysander was engaged. If anyone saw them like this, how could she possibly explain?
