Chapter 6. Mia
"Mia"
That was all I could utter at that moment. The chance that it was my Mia was beyond abysmal.
My sister had vanished into thin air, she didn't die—just disappeared. Thinking about that fact gave me hope, even though I knew deep inside that it was just my delusion.
Still, I clung to that hope.
Hearing my voice, her body flinched slightly, and her expression changed—as if... scared.
My heart tightened, seeing her scared of me.
"Cassius, did you decide to join your sister's wedding ceremony?"
A sharp voice called me, pulling me from my trance. I turned towards the man who spoke.
Lucian Lancaster, father of Cassius Lancaster. A tall man with broad shoulders and silvery-white long hair, his eyes were a deep shade of embers. His voice carried the authority and pride of a noble etched deep inside his very being. His presence alone demanded attention.
I dropped my head for a moment, my mind racing. My sister was getting married? If she was, and she looked unhappy, then that was all that mattered. I didn't even spare a glance at the supposed groom. My focus was solely on her.
I locked eyes with Lucian and spoke in a flat voice. "Let me take her for a moment. I have something to talk about."
