Feel Connected

Villain Ch 1323. Feel Connected

There was something about him tonight—something more composed, more grounded than before. Maybe it was the way he carried himself now, as though he had finally accepted the weight of being a Goldborne. Or maybe it was the subtle changes in his demeanor, the quiet confidence that hadn't been there before. Whatever it was, it made Mila feel… uncertain. She wasn't used to feeling uncertain. In their world, uncertainty was weakness, and weakness was something she couldn't afford.

Her eyes drifted down to his hand, resting casually by his side. The urge to reach out and take it crept up on her unexpectedly, catching her off guard. She didn't even fully understand why she wanted to do it—maybe it was to reassure herself that things were different now, that there was still something between them worth fighting for. Maybe it was just to feel connected, even if only for a moment.
