Chapter 294: You… wanted me to kill you?
"And as promised, I’ll bring her back."
Bring her back.
Fil touched the side of her neck where he bit previously, closing her eyes as she hissed. Compared to the bruises on her body, no one could understand the growing pain within her. When she reopened her eyes, she hissed at him.
"I’m not... letting her out," she breathed out, and at the same time those words came out of her lips, Quentin suddenly appeared in front of her.
"That’s not a choice for you, love," Quentin planted his hand on the bed as he bent over. His other hand clasped her wrist to stop her strike. "You and I both know the time you tore down my empire, you broke your own law."
His eyes glinted as they flickered in red. "Your powers to seal her forever were broken." His lips stretched until his teeth were on full display. "What are you going to do now, Latrice? Die again? And what? Do you think Filomena and I will stop until you are completely dead?"
Fil gulped, but she didn’t back down. Instead, she kept her eye contact stern. She was still too weak as she had just woken. Thanks to Jackson and his idea for her to train, this body was able to withstand her reawakening.
"Latrice." Quentin moved his face closer until his mouth was right next to her ear. "I... will... break... you."
He slowly drew his head back, smirking as soon as he saw the bitter look on her face.
