Chapter 41

• ISABELLA'S POV ~
• The air crackled with electricity as the growl emanated from George's throat, the low, animalistic sound reverberating through the tense, silent room. His eyes flashed with rage, the darkness consuming the irises, and I could practically see the veins bulging in his neck.
• The room held its breath as everyone waited for George's next move. He took a menacing step towards me, his frame towering over my smaller one, before suddenly halting in his tracks, as though some thought had crossed his mind. His gaze bore into me with disgust, making my blood boil. The thin layer of sweat coating my palms grew thicker, and my heart thundered in my chest.
