Chapter 232: Won’t let anyone harm her
Elliana looked at Alcinder with narrowed eyes.
"Were you eavesdropping on me?" She asked.
"You weren’t exactly quiet for someone who didn’t want the world to know what or who she was talking to," Alcinder said, making her sigh dejectedly before he stepped closer.
He had received his cousin’s call asking him about what was going on with the relations in the family, and Alcinder, who already felt he had had enough of the family drama, was here to calm his nerves without risking being caught by any teacher or dean.
He was done answering everyone the same questions and felt like hiding in the forest for a couple of days. He would have considered doing it if it hadn’t been for this so-called Blue project.
Alcinder was about to light his smoke because his body felt like it needed it right now to calm his nerves and raging heart when he heard Elliana’s distressed voice as she screamed at whoever person it was to not harm someone.
To say he was shocked would be an understatement. This was the first time he heard Eliana threatening someone like this. The last time she lost control of her emotions was when those boys in the forest had attacked her, and he had found her, stopping her from going behind them and hurting herself even more than she already was.
"Let’s not waste more time. I don’t understand what is going on with you, but I definitely understand that someone is in danger, and the kidnapper is asking you to show up to save her," Alcinder said.
"I don’t need your help," Elliana clenched her hands, her eyes quivering with fear and anger.
"I am sure you don’t, but I am also sure the person in danger doesn’t have much time. Think about it, Elliana. I am not going to force my help on you, but someone’s life is definitely more important than your truth or identity or ego or whatever you are trying to keep or protect," Alcinder said before he extended his hand for her to take.
Elliana looked at Alcinder’s hand and sighed.
