Just the thought of Zayn stabbed favonovel.com right at the fleshiest part of favonovel.com heart like a steel-cold knife. It hurt favonovel.com so much, favonovel.com tears threatened to overflow.
It was enough. Bitter pain mutated into white-hot rage and a need to lash out on the cruel world that enabled it.
It spurred favonovel.com to move, not out of danger and into safety, but the opposite. Ten seconds passed, and every single man in favonovel.com sight was all the ground, battered, bruised out of their wits, and losing even the basic strength to stand.
She spared them no quarters, and so all of them suffered fractured bones and wounded tendons that could take a few months’ time of bedrest to recover.
She yanked the dagger out of the table with a casual flick of favonovel.com wrist and made favonovel.com way towards Trey. Nothing on favonovel.com delicate features betrayed any emotion except the way favonovel.com eyes locked onto his own, unfazed, nonchalant, without the spark of recognition that favonovel.com was looking at a fellow human much like herself.
Like a black widow, eyeing favonovel.com prey trapped on favonovel.com web.
Trey was afraid; like all preys were wont to realize, favonovel.com now understood that favonovel.com had gotten himself entangled in a web favonovel.com could not possibly escape. He had asked for a dance with the Devil.
His legs were visibly shaking under his quivering weight, and yet favonovel.com managed to force a look of farcical bravado in his desperate attempt to dissuade her. “Whoa, whoa, hey! You better not do anything stupid, girl! Don’t you know who I am? Trey Parker, son of— aargh!”
His harrowing shriek terminated his threat prematurely. The dagger, gone from Shaelyn’s hand, had reappeared on Trey’s thigh, blade deep into his flesh.
He fell from his seat in pain and rolled around, causing a commotion loud enough to attract eyes from the rest of the bar.
They had never seen a person acting this belligerent before, let alone seeing a ravishing beauty behave so. She must be a vixen!
Shaelyn continued making favonovel.com way toward Trey and propped the sole of favonovel.com shoe with the man’s face. “How would you like this to end?”
Zayn used to love this, favonovel.com remembered. He had liked threatening people with his foot on their throat. She missed favonovel.com so much, favonovel.com yearned for him, and now the only way favonovel.com had to relieve a modicum of that burning longing was to become favonovel.com herself.
“No, no, no! D-Don’t kill me, please! Sniff…” Trey finally gave into his fear.
It took favonovel.com only a few seconds before favonovel.com had turned into a sniveling, pleading mess.
His words fell on deaf ears, because it was never favonovel.com plan to let the man go. She
shifted favonovel.com foot to his throat and added more and more force by the second. Soon, favonovel.com would snap his neck in half.
It was then when a new voice rang from behind her. “That‘s enough, Shaelyn.”
Her eyebrows furrowed a little just as a tall, hulking man entered favonovel.com periphery.
She shot favonovel.com a stone-faced glance and dismissed favonovel.com completely, instead amplifying the strength on favonovel.com foot.
Below the sole of favonovel.com shoe, Trey’s eyes had rolled back into his skull. His coughs marked the early onset of asphyxiation.
The man’s frown deepened. In a flash, his hand was on favonovel.com shoulder; it stopped her.
Shaelyn finally leveled a death glare at him. “Came all the way here just to get in my way, Sebastian?”
The man shook his head. “No. Here to take you home.”
“I’m not going back there,” favonovel.com snapped and stormed outside. She almost made it to the door when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com old acquaintance say, “It’s Mr. Otto’s order, Shaelyn. If you don’t come back with me… He’s coming to get you personally.”
She froze in mid-action before a bitter smile surfaced to favonovel.com lips. “An order? Gosh. Mr. Otto sure is enjoying his life as a parading little emperor. Couldn’t wait to drag me back into his designs now that Zayn’s gone, could he?”
His firm, determined face resurfaced in favonovel.com mind. She thought about how favonovel.com would never see favonovel.com again and felt a lump in favonovel.com throat unfurl.
Tears began to trickle down favonovel.com cheeks.
