Caught Between Two Worlds

All Celestine ever wanted was to be someone powerful so that she won't be looked down upon. That was what she wished on a blissful night. And that very wish made her life go downhill years later ever since she came across a sacred pendant. When an invitation lands on her lap to the most prestigious university of Adrian, nothing could stop her from going there. That is until her life gets entwined with two men, the cruellest foes of each other which she wishes to escape from. But the universe paints a different picture. On a dreary day, she falls to her near-death and finds herself in the ancient land of Vitalis. With an unintentionally committed crime to her name, she must face the justice of the place where mercy is invaluable and death is inevitable and of little value. And so her trial begins at the mercy of the tainted hands of the Masked Tyrant. Alastair Arden Waldorf. Ruthless, cold-blooded and faceless. When things turn for the worse, will she be able to return to her land and not be involved in a terrifying history? Will she save, kill or escape from the tyrant to the other two men when he shall come for her? Shall love prevail between the two or will they stick to their time to avoid an inevitable curse? ~ WARNING: Mature Content (18+) Cover Design: imagineTishaD (Webnovel) Image Credit: fromKITnoc (DeviantArt) Want to support and interact with the author?

~ 109: A Place With More Foes Than Companions - Part 8 ~

"How could you guess?" I asked, a few seconds before he entered through the open doors at the front of the hall, perhaps waiting for me to go in first. "And what of the poison in your body?"

"Let's say that it was because I used to deal with such drugs before," he replied. "As for the latter, I have been resistant to such poisons for a long time after having worked with them."

His response to my first question created the doubt of him being a leader of the Mafia who now sat on the throne of Vitalis. It couldn't be that the poison had some particular taste when mixed. That is unless the lady had been clumsy enough to leave bits of it on the side of the glass where the tongue or lips could reach without the liquid bringing it in.

"If you were a pharmacist, how come you cannot cure yourself?" I said with a scoff. "Looks like you are not very well-equipped in that field as you are in dealing with people in your painful way."
