Chapter 177 Escaped Death

• Dara held the knife midair with trembling hands, ready to strike and eliminate Elara for good. This girl had caused so much pain to everyone Dara cared about. She needed to pay for it with her life. Just as Dara was about to plunge the blade into Elara’s chest, Elara’s eyes flew open. Panic seized her instantly. Before Elara could even register the silver gleaming in the dim light, Dara struck.
• But the knife never reached its mark.
• Dara froze, her eyes widening in a silent shock. Elara scrambled back, crawling away on the bed as she witnessed the horror. Elijah stood behind the girl, his expression cold and detached, with Dara's heart gripped firmly in his blood-slicked hand. With a dull thud, Dara collapsed to the floor and died instantly.
