Chapter 64 - their trust
64
~Lisa’s POV
The hallway was quiet now.
The triplets had walked away, and the guards slowly dispersed, murmuring about what had just happened. Cecilia’s blood still stained the floor, and my heart felt heavy. Not for her, she tried to kill me, but for everything. The fear. The betrayal. The pain.
I stood there for a moment, watching them disappear. Kael glanced back once, his expression unreadable, then turned and followed his brothers. Even Belinda had left. Calm. Too calm. Like nothing had happened.
But I knew it wasn’t over.
And I wasn’t going to let it end like this.
As soon as I saw Belinda turning the corner toward the east corridor, I followed her. My legs moved quickly, my heart pounding hard with each step. For the first time in forever, I wasn’t scared. Not like I was this morning. Not like when I took the drug Cecilia gave me. That fear had nearly killed me.
Not again.
I caught up to her just as she entered a part of the corridor where no one was watching. No guards. No maids. Just us. And I ran, full speed, until I stepped right in front of her.
She stopped, shocked.
"What are you doing?" she asked, voice low but irritated. Her eyes narrowed.
