The room fell into a heavy silence the moment Lily stepped out.
Suddenly, a sharp, agonizing pain came through Viella's skull. It felt as if a thousand needles were piercing her mind at once. Her vision blurred, the edges of the room melting into a dizzying haze.
She tried to steady herself
but her knees gave out.
She collapsed onto the bed, breath coming in ragged gasps. Her thoughts tangled together, Before she could even react her consciousness was dragged under into a forced, unnatural sleep.
Click.
The door creaked open.
Viella didn't move.
A tall, dark figure stepped inside, their footsteps silent against the plush carpet. The intruder Didn't reach for her throat.
He simply stood at her bedside.
Watching her sleeping face. Her face showed bit of a frown because of the pain.
In the dim light, his eyes were cold harboring a deep, swirling darkness.
Slowly, the figure lifted a pale, elegant hand.
