Chapter 863 198.7 - Desire
Trevor sat there, unmoving.
The restaurant around him buzzed with faint murmurs, the low hum of conversation barely registering in his mind. His hands remained clenched beneath the table, his breathing shallow, controlled only by force of will.
His body felt heavy—weighted with something that churned in his chest, something suffocating.
Maya's words echoed in his head, reverberating over and over like a cruel, relentless mantra.
"You are just a nobody."
"I will butcher you alive."
His fingers twitched. Slowly, he raised his hand, covering half of his face. The other half of his lips curled—not into a smile, but something close to it, something sharp, something unhinged.
How?
How could this happen?
How did everything fall apart so fast?
'This isn't right. This isn't how it was supposed to go.'
His grip on his face tightened, nails digging into his skin. His other hand, still curled into a fist, trembled against the table. The Maya he had just seen—that wasn't the Maya he knew.
Maya was soft. Maya was kind. Maya was gentle, warm, untouchable yet bright—so bright that people were drawn to her without even realizing it. That was the Maya he had watched, the Maya he had admired, the Maya that should have been sitting in front of him.
But this Maya?
This cold, merciless creature with crimson eyes and words as sharp as blades?
This wasn't her.
That wasn't her.
That wasn't his Maya.
And then, the thought struck him like a bolt of lightning.
"That's right."
A soft chuckle escaped his lips, muffled against his palm.
Of course.
A soft chuckle escaped his lips, muffled against his palm.
Of course.
His shoulders shook with another quiet laugh, one that held no real humor. It was brittle, laced with something bitter, something resentful, something that crawled beneath his skin like a parasite.
He changed her.
His hand slid down his face, his lips twisting into something between a smirk and a sneer.
