Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 154

Serena was lost in her thoughts about finding a new apartment once her lease expired, and she didn't notice when Aaron appeared in front of her.

"Serena!"

Aaron grabbed her wrist with such force it felt like he might crush it.

She winced in pain and looked up, only for her chin to be seized in a tight grip.

In the next moment, a coldness pressed against her lips, sharp as a dagger, piercing through Serena.

Her heart skipped a beat as she pushed Aaron with all her might.

But he was immovable, like a wall.

Desperate, she bit him hard.

The metallic taste of blood spread through her mouth.

Aaron seemed unfazed, his fierce kiss more terrifying than a flood, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Aaron released her. His deep eyes, now tinged with an alarming shade of red, coldly stared at her.

"You're insane!" Serena wiped her mouth angrily and hurriedly opened the door, slipping inside.

She slammed the door shut.

Her heart pounded wildly.

She had known Aaron for years and had never seen such a frightening look in his eyes.

Worse than a man driven to madness.

After some time passed and she heard nothing from the other side, she cautiously peered through the peephole. The hallway was empty; Aaron was gone. Her entire body went limp as she slid down the door, relief washing over her.

Aaron was a man who did as he pleased.

In Alderburg, no one could rein him in.

The only way to cut ties with Aaron was to leave Alderburg altogether.

But who would risk crossing Aaron for her?

A sorrowful smile tugged at Serena’s lips.

She regretted ever getting involved with that madman.

Downstairs, Aaron stood staring up at the top floor.
