Chapter 19: Whispers of the Shadow Part 4: Cedric's Downfall

Cedric's voice was filled with a sickening desire as he leered at Eliana, his fingers fumbling to undo his pants. She could feel her heart racing in terror as she tried to push him away. 

But before he could act upon his vulgar words, a sudden and ominous aura began to engulf the room. Cedric was lifted into the air and hurtled towards the wall, his body slamming into it with an ear-splitting crack. The force of the impact left a gaping hole where the wall once stood. 

Sebastian materialized just in time, his powerful presence halting Cedric's assault on Eliana. As he surveyed the scene before him, his eyes narrowed in fury. Eliana lay on the ground, her clothes torn and her once-beautiful dress now nothing but shreds of fabric clinging to her battered body. With trembling hands, she desperately tried to cover herself, using a small blanket and her own body as shields against Cedric's lecherous gaze.
