No! He's Mine!

"I can't."

The words just came out of Holly's mouth. It seemed she said that unconsciously because too many bad thoughts were bothering her head.

"What?" Helios looked at her in shock and confusion. Likewise, Elena looked shocked in her chair.

Holly was silent for a while, her eyes were on Helios, but her mind was going elsewhere. Holly's breath hitched, and a few moments later, she was panting because her heart was beating so fast.

"You don't want Elena to be the concubine of His Majesty?" Helios repeated his question.

"Brother, I don't—" Elena wanted to refute, but Helios immediately shushed her.

Holly looked at Helios and Elena alternately. Finally, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She needed air to think wisely.

It didn't take Holly long for her heart to return to normal. She opened her eyes and locked them with Elena.
