Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

Chapter 50 – Unforgiving and Cruel (2)

Powerful defiance was directed at Blain. The stillness of the reception room only amplified her clear and loud voice.

“Did you know what happened to me yesterday?”

“…”

The ridiculing smile that had been plastered onto Blains face disappeared. Hearing her words, he stiffened.

But Leah, paid no heed to his reaction. Despite being infuriated, her breathing suddenly became even. Her hands started to feel clammy as cold sweat dripped from her neck. Forcing her wobbling leg to stay still, she looked up at him.

Blain was taken aback at Leahs fierce and glaring expression.

“Dont you dare lay a hand on the people here. These people are all innocent.” She managed to spit out those words as her heart, which had palpitated briefly a while ago, began to race. At the edges of her vision, flashes of dots started to appear, and her sight blurred.

Leah would never relent. For the people, she would defy him over and over again and not back down. Even if Blain, at this very moment, dragged her to Cerdina, she would keep her stance.

Blain, who had been looking straight at Leah, contorted his eyebrows.

“You…” Speechless at Leahs bravery, at that moment, Blain fumbled for what words to say in response.

However, Leah was hit with a severe sensation of nausea and dizziness. Her legs that she had been coercing to keep her up, stumbled. In an instant, her hands came up to cover her mouth as she felt something rise up inside her.

Suddenly, she spat a hot substance. Her palms, which were wet with sweat, reddened. A dark, red lump of blood lay in the middle of her palms in a messy stain. Her tongue tasted the iron that lingered and her mouth dribbled a line of red saliva til her chin.

Leah stared at her hands and blinked. “Ahhh…”

In the very next moment, her legs gave out. Her body collapsed onto the ground, and Leah felt her surroundings quieten, welcoming the darkness that occluded her vision.

Pandemonium struck as Leah lost consciousness.
