Chapter 46: The Discovery

Henri.

That name had provoked a series of emotions from her. Once upon a time, he had made her heart flutter. Then, he had made her anxious, but never made her seriously recoil in fear.

However, his presence in the room made her realize that they had gravely underestimated him.

Henri cut through the room, fixating solely on Acheron. Ignoring the others, he demanded, “Is it ready?”

Acheron turned sharply, glaring at Henri. “I clearly told you I would come to you. You shouldn’t be here.”

Henri, fueled by resentment, jabbed a finger at Kara. “Is it because of her?”

Acheron grunted, turning back to what he was working on.

It didn’t surprise her that Henri was in the room. She had suspected for a while now that Henri was in cahoots with Acheron, but there had been no confirmation. Eerik had told her not to worry about Henri because he wasn’t a threat. Well, how the tables had turned.
