"Lilith," he said again, stepping closer, "I just want to..."
But before he could finish...
Lilith held up a hand, stopping him mid-sentence.
Her icy blue eyes locked onto his.
"Don't. Whatever nonsense you're about to say! I don't want to hear it."
Her voice was Cold. Uninterested. Final.
Ethan exhaled loudly, clapping his hands together.
"Alright! Enough drama for one night. Let's go eat!"
Nova and Ava nodded eagerly, ready to leave.
Embarrassed, Rayan just left. He didn't want to make a fool of himself.
Even Lilith was about to move when—
"After the beautiful performance of Lilith Parker... we have another talented guest performing the piano!"
The host's voice rang across the venue. The crowd stilled, all eyes drawn back to the stage again.
"She is none other than... Rose Carter!"
Cheers erupted with claps, murmurs, and excitement filling the air.
"She must be talented!"
