章 138: Her Whereabouts On The Wedding Day

Natalie looked at him, amused. "It seems like the word shame doesn't exist in your dictionary."

He glanced back at her, his expression calm. "Anything useless that could stop me from getting what I want has no place in my life."

She looked away, her gaze shifting to the elevator door. "Your mind is definitely built differently. God knows what goes on inside it."

He stared ahead, completely indifferent. "You'd better not know."

"You're making me curious now."

"Curiosity kills the cat—you must have heard that saying." His voice was low and deep, his gaze meeting hers through the reflection in the elevator door. "And this particular cat won't be able to handle the ways I'd plan to kill her… over and over again."

Natalie's heart skipped a beat. There was something unnervingly dangerous in the way he said it. She wasn't afraid of death, having faced numerous threats and dangers in Xyros, but hearing it from him felt entirely different.
