Chương 101: You before them

Roman had a murderous look in his eyes that narrowed in anger as he waited for Julie to reply to his burning question. 

There had been many times before this when Julie had seen him being but never before had she seen him this angry, and it scared her.

"That…" Julie's voice trailed, noticing his burning eyes on hers.

Roman gritted his teeth, closing his eyes to control his anger, which he couldn't right now. The next second he opened his eyes. They were dark red. He questioned her, "Was it Griffin?" 

Julie softly gulped, and she shook her head, "No, it wasn't him." 

"Who was it then? What happened after we met near the stalls?" Roman continued to question, his eyes taking in the bruise on her skin that had turned bluish-green. It started from the corner of Julie's lips and moved up towards her cheek. 

She finally uttered the name, "It was Mateo and his friends."
