"Oh! Xiran..." she tried to hug him but he kept her at arm's length with his hand slightly pushing her back by her shoulder. He had never stopped her from hugging him before, his action mangled her already hurting heart.
"You know he made Frila watch as he ripped Carios's heart out? And he almost pulled Rivan's heart out as well. Just because they won't tell him what he sought," the coldness of his voice and the gravity of his words sunk in and she began to quiver and shake her head vehemently, knowing where this all was going.
"And you know why this all happened? What my father sought?" he gripped her face so she wouldn't escape his torturing gaze. So she would stare directly into his haunting eyes.
