Bab 204: Out of Greed

Kaden slowly chewed his food. His jaw clenched and his eyes set ablaze. He shifted his attention to her.

Lina was intimidated  by his sharp action. He knew how to bring someone to the edge of their seat. She was waiting for his every breath. Waiting for him to speak. Waiting for him to take action. Instead, he swallowed his food. Then, cleanly popped a cube of fruit into his mouth. All the while, he didn't break eye contact.

"I wanted to know if it was because of something I said," Lina stated. "Is that why you killed Everett?"

Kaden finished the fruit. He gazed at her for the longest time. His stare was deliberate and devious. 

"What makes you think I did it?" Kaden asked in a threatening, but amused voice.

Lina rapidly blinked. "If not you, then who?"

Kaden laughed under his breath. The sound was short. Curt, even. His lips curled into a sneer. Then, he went back to the food.
