Chapter 71: I don’t want anything
When she saw Kael enter the room, Liyana felt something inside her tighten.
He was wearing a white suit with black accents. The tight-fitting fabric accentuated the line of his shoulders and the length of his black hair, which fell like a dark waterfall to his waist.
He wasn’t handsome.
He didn’t have fine features or striking features.
But that made it even worse.
His ordinary, expressionless face was like a mask without cracks. There was no beauty in it. Only absolute neutrality... impossible to read. Like an abyss.
Liyana, sitting cross-legged, kept a serene expression. But inside, her heart was pounding in her chest like a war drum.
She had imagined it many times.
That moment.
That distance.
Him. So close. So tangible.
