When the Flame of Love Fades (Sierra) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Deeper into the Abyss.

Sierra clenched her fists.

Shane. Kason. They were the same kind of person.

This kind of pathetic experiment actually interests you?” she asked, voice tight with disgust. “I thought your focus was pharmaceutical research.”

“Of course, we focus on pharmaceuticals, Kason replied smoothly. “This is just a side project, something for fun. A personal hobby, if you will I find it rather entertaining.”

“Shut up.”

Sierra’s patience snapped. Her voice was like ice. “I don’t find it amusing at all. What’s so impressive about tormenting the weak? Is that all you’re capable of?”

Kason’s expression darkened. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

Inside the surveillance van, Mateo sucked in a breath.

He glanced at Johnathan. The man’s expression was dark, dangerously unreadable.

Even Mateo, who had seen a lot, found himself shaken by Kason’s depravity. If he were there in person, he wouldn’t have been able to hold back either.

He braced himself, half–expecting Sierra to blow her cover.

But then-

“You mean to tell me I’m wrong?” Sierra scoffed, arms crossed. ‘Picking on defenseless creatures–where’s the fun in that? If it were me, I’d go after the strong. Nothing is more satisfying than watching the mighty fall.”

Kason froze.

Then his lips curled into a wicked grin

“So that’s why you did what you did to the Xander family?”

Sierra said nothing.

Letting him believe what he wanted was the best strategy,

Kason took her silence as confirmation. His eyes gleamed with excitement.

He knew it. Sierra was just like him.

She just hid it better.

“Then who’s next? Johnathan? Kason asked casually.

Despite his easy tone, his eyes held a sharp glint.

Sierra smirked.

“Johnathan’s already where I want him. No fun anymore.” She tilted her head, voice dripping with amusement. “But there is

someone I’d love to see crash and burn

Kason narrowed his eyes.

“Who?”

“Shane.”

Kason’s pupils constricted.

Sierra chuckled lightly. “He’s always the one playing people. I wonder how he’d react if the tables were turned.”

Kason didn’t speak

He looked tempted.

Sierra knew she had him.

The truth was, he hated Shane.

Shane acted like he was untouchable. Superior.

And Kason hated that

Sierra continued, voice soft and laced with amusement.

Wouldn’t it be fun?”

Rationally, Kason knew Shane was dangerous. Even his father avoided stepping on Shane’s toes..

But-

The idea was intoxicating.

And Sierra knew exactly when to stop.

She turned away, feigning indifference.

“Let’s go. Show me the rest.

She walked ahead, forcing Kason to follow.

Then, as if just remembering, she added-

“What do you take me for? I’m not a murderer. We paid them off They took the money and left. That dumb dog just doesn’t know any better.

As they stepped into the next section, she cast one last glance at the Samoyed

It no longer cried. It had simply given up.

“Want to keep going?” Kason studied Sierra’s face. “You seem a little uncomfortable. What’s coming next might be even

Sierra forced a smirk.

Kason nodded approvingly.

Let’s head to the main floor, then.”

But when the doors opened-
