Chapter 160 A Lonely Lover

• ‘The one who claims her heart still beats for you is the same one who snatched him from my clutches.

And it was she who stopped him from consuming them!’ The words echoed in Lincoln's ears, creating a hollow void where understanding should have been.
• What was this emotion gnawing at his insides? Betrayal or... hate! He could find no other name for it.
• When she'd voiced her intention to abandon him, he hadn't believed her. He had convinced himself that she said those words merely to shield him from the looming danger, not because her heart was being auctioned off to another bidder.
