Chapter 103: Chaptee 103
Betrayed by Blood ~
Cain stormed into the room, still gripping Avery’s wrist tightly. It wasn’t until the door slammed shut behind them that he finally stopped. Turning around, his gaze flickered towards the hand wrapped around her wrist. A muscle in his jaw ticked before he abruptly released her, as if the contact burned him. Running a hand through his dark hair, he exhaled sharply.
Avery took a step back, her heart pounding against her ribs. She rubbed her wrist absently, the ghost of his grip still lingering on her skin. Her lips pressed into a thin line as she pondered what to do next. After the scene that had just unfolded in the grand hall, she was incredibly nervous. Glancing at Cain, who walked towards the alcohol cabinet in the room and poured himself a drink, she swallowed hard, her bottom lip caught between her teeth.
She had no idea what she was supposed to do now. Should she leave? Should she stay? She couldn’t bring herself to speak, choosing silence over facing his potential anger.
Cain still didn’t look at her, indicating his mood, so she quietly moved towards the door, ready to leave as discreetly as possible.
"What do you think you’re doing?" Cain’s sharp voice cut through the air. Avery halted in her steps and slowly turned around, her heart racing in her chest. Cain stood by the alcohol bar, his intense gaze fixed on her.
"I-I was going to leave—" she replied quietly.
Cain didn’t reply and simply stared at her. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
His gaze raked over her disheveled form, noticing the stained fabric of her dress clinging to her damp skin and the way her shoulders curled inward slightly, as if bracing herself. His lips parted, but whatever he was about to say, he stopped himself.
