Chapter 27 The Altercation

• Asher’s smile widened, almost insane, his eyes glinting with malice. “Unforgivable? No… it’s reality. This is what happens when people forget their place. Sylvia will remember me. Forever.”
• He took a step closer to Leo, his voice like ice. “And you… you should know better than to step in my way. I could end you too, just like I did her peace of mind. But I’m… generous. For now.”
• Leo’s fists clenched tighter. Every nerve in his body screamed at him to fight, but Asher’s words, his aura, his coldness… it made the room feel suffocating. He could feel Sylvia’s pain, her terror, her broken trust burning inside him, fueling his own rage.
