Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 411

I gave a quick, indifferent glance and turned my attention to Lucas, who was perched on the couch with an icy glare. It was obvious he was not in the mood to chat.

I bit my lip and turned to Inch with a mocking smile. "A room to rest? What's next, tying me up and tossing me into a dungeon to marinate?"

Inch stuttered, clearly caught off guard.

His gaze shifted to Lucas, seemingly clueless about how to handle my jab.

Lucas's eyes narrowed, and a cold smirk played on his lips. He stared at me, his voice frosty, "Would you prefer the dungeon?"

Wow, listen to him. I took a deep breath and met his gaze with a scoff. "What's the matter? Is dungeon-living now a VIP experience? Or have you guys invented some new, more twisted ways to break someone?"

The stare from Lucas turned icy, his face darkened, and the chill in the room seemed to thicken.

Being no stranger to his brooding rage, I held his black-eyed gaze without a hint of fear or backing down.

He watched me, and after what felt like an eternity, he gestured with a commanding tone, "Come here."

I kept my lips tightly sealed and stayed put.

He tilted his head back, his intense gaze locking onto me. I braced myself, expecting a blow or some cruel punishment. Instead of punishing me, he yanked my wrist and shoved me onto the couch next to him. His legs stretched out, trapping mine beneath them.

Lucas eased his hold just a bit, his face still stone-cold as he shot a sidelong glance at Inch, his voice sharp, "What is it?"

Inch, with a worried look at me, said to Lucas, "There's someone from Mandala at the door. They say it is urgent and need to talk to you."

"Urgent?" Lucas's eyebrow quirked up, a warning clear in his frosty eyes.

Inch must have been scared of him because when he heard what was said, a flicker of fear crossed his face. Nevertheless, he managed a nod at Lucas. "Yeah, looks like there is some trouble at Lord Kun's place. You should head over there, pronto."

Lucas did not waste a second. He shoved me aside and gave me a cold, mocking laugh. "Got a death wish? I can make that happen." He then turned to Inch with a command. "Take her to Eccentricity Courtyard."

Inch's face went pale, and his voice came out a bit delayed. "Sir, Ms. Scott, she..."
