Capítulo 276: Aliyah’s Invite

Aliyah's voice carried a hint of excitement as she extended her invitation. "I want to take you on an adventure, Raphael. A vacation of sorts."

Raphael's response was immediate and dismissive. "Not interested." He tried to sidestep her, only to find Aliyah blocking his path once again.

A subtle change flickered across Raphael's features, his brow furrowing as his lips curled into a frown. He stared intently at Aliyah, his eyes betraying a smoldering rage that threatened to engulf her.

But Aliyah remained undeterred, meeting his gaze with unwavering composure. Her voice remained calm and steady, cutting through the mounting tension like a knife.

"I apologize if I gave you the impression that I would accept 'no' as an answer," she muttered, her words carrying an air of quiet defiance.
