Chapter 214: Battle Of The Mind
Ryder’s frozen gaze shifted to the lifeless body, his breath coming in sharp, ragged gasps as he stared at the body of his woman. It was her naked figure – the way she was before he came here.
Memories of how he’d coddled her, how he’d promised to make things right flashed in his mind. "N– no. It can’t be...break!" he roared.
Shatter!
The illusion shattered in a flash. Then, he saw Reana’s form twist and shift, flickering like a mirage. The familiar features of Reana blurred and melted into something else entirely.
It was the man.
Ryder’s mind raced as the illusion shattered, leaving only the cold reality. The man had used Reana’s form to deceive him, to make him doubt himself.
The masked figure, now standing again with a look of pure malice, chuckled darkly. "So easy to deceive, aren’t you?"
Ryder stood there, still frozen, his body still trembling with the weight of what had just transpired. The pain, the guilt—it all slammed into him in an overwhelming wave. He had thought he hurt the only sunlight in his life.
Plus, he’d actually fallen into an illusion. How?
"You’re going to regret that," Ryder muttered, his voice low, dangerous.
He came to test this man, but not anymore. Ryder wants to kill him.
