Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max ) novel Chapter 990

Her brow furrowed, but fear wasn’t what gripped her. It was surprise.

Surprise that this man would appear inside Premier Palace.

With all those guards outside, how on earth did he get in?

And if he meant to kill her, would it really be that easy?

“Ahem, ahem, ahem.”

The man coughed a few times before looking up at her.

She seemed to have lost weight, her clothes hanging loosely on her frame as if they might slip off any moment. Standing there, she looked almost swamped by the fabric.

Her eyes appeared unusually large, and as she looked at him, there was no trace of emotion—as if he couldn’t stir any feeling within her.

“Waiting for Max?”

The man's voice was hoarse and strained, and it took a few coughs before he managed to speak.

Brielle didn’t reply. She chose silence and started to head upstairs.

If he could kill her that easily, why bother resisting? Death didn’t seem to scare her much.

“Hold it right there.”

His voice turned stormy.

“What’s the point in fooling yourself? Don’t you know Max is dead? He perished in that blaze, not even ashes left behind.”

Brielle’s body went rigid. She must have misheard.

She turned around, her eyes wide with disbelief.

King rose slowly, his tone bitter.

“Are you so lost in your little world that you can’t stand being without him?”

“Are you out of your mind?”

Brielle’s tone went ice-cold as she gripped her cardigan tightly.

Max couldn’t be dead. This guy had to be lying.

King stepped closer, reaching out as if to touch her hair.

Brielle recoiled in disgust, keeping a wary eye on him.

King’s hand froze in mid-air before he withdrew it, looking defeated.

“It’s my fault.”
