Chapter 166

Katarina's POV
A chillingly familiar voice echoed from behind me, sending an involuntary shiver down my spine. "It's been a while, Katarina," the voice purred, dripping with a cruel familiarity that I could never forget.
I whipped around, my heart pounding as my eyes locked onto the source. There he was—Oliver. He hadn’t changed at all since our last encounter, still exuding that same aura of dark menace. He circled me slowly, a predator savoring the fear of his prey, before stopping just inches from my face. The cruel smile that twisted his lips was exactly as I remembered, a sickening blend of malice and arrogance.
