Chapter 763

Livia:

I had been kept in a cell for over a day now.

I had no idea what was happening around me.

I missed my mother. I was worried about her.

Then my thoughts drifted to Daniel, Gina, and Baxter.

I wondered what was going on.

None of it made any sense.

How had the president woken up one day and decided to be so vindictive?

I understood if he was angry with Nina because it turned out she had lied about their marriage.

But one thing I couldn’t understand was why he was so furious with everyone else. We hadn’t done anything. And as for Baxter, Gina was Baxter’s daughter.

Sawyer had only adopted her after he married Madeline. At least, that’s what I knew.

I didn’t know why Madeline had left Baxter for Sawyer, then gone back to Baxter and married him again, or whatever had happened.

It was a whole mess.

All I knew was that they were taking me back to Sawyer, surrounded by an army of warriors.

“Go inside. He’s waiting for you,” the warrior instructed, and I stepped into his mansion.

It was a huge, grand mansion, and I had never been invited there before.

But he was sitting right in the foyer, one leg crossed over the other, his arms spread, his eyes fixed on me like a hawk.

He already looked terrifying, as though he was ready to tear someone’s head off.

“Your Highness,” I greeted as I approached him.

“Have a seat, Livia,” he replied, gesturing to the chair.

I looked at it before slowly lowering myself into the chair across the table.

“I don’t think we’ve met before. I mean, before I went into a coma.”

He began speaking in a calm tone, but there was something about his body

language that exuded confidence and menace.

“Yes, I believe we haven’t. That’s because I was only studying at the time,” I replied, matching his calm tone.

My body, however, was far more tense than confident.

The reason was simple.

This man, who was acting so pleasant, was the one who had kept me imprisoned until today.

“You know you’re in the position my wife used to be in,” he remarked, referring to Madeline.

My body immediately tensed up.

“Yes, I’m aware of that,” I replied, maintaining a professional tone.

“Now see, here’s the thing. I want my wife back. Along with that, I want to know where her husband has come back from. And I’m not talking about myself,” he added with a chuckle.

That alone was creepy.

His face would suddenly break into a smile before it disappeared just as quickly.

“And you want my help with that?” I asked in confusion.

“Well, you see, Baxter actually came to my place and dropped off a letter,” he explained, placing it on the

table before slowly sliding it towards. me.

I only leaned to the edge of my seat to get a glimpse of it.

As bold as it was of him to do that, I still didn’t dare touch it.

“Now, I want to know where he is. I remember he was with one of your friends So, if you’d be kind enough to tell me which friend, you’ll both be free to go. You get to return to your normal life FindNovel.net

As he spoke so casually, my heart started pounding in my chest.

“I’m not sure where my friend is right now.”

The words slipped from my lips, and I could tell he wasn’t very impressed.

“Well, I’m giving you some time to think. At the same time, I want your help. You

need to get me something to calm me down.”

His voice remained calm, but it was unsettling.

The pauses between his words made them even creepier.

Then he suddenly stood.

As I tried to get up with him, he gestured for me to remain seated.

“You see, I’m feeling this anxiety in my body.”

As he spoke, he began walking around the back side of the couch.

With every step he took, the warriors and maids quietly left, leaving only the two of us in the living room.

“Okay-maybe it’s because you’ve

just woken up from a coma. I can

give you some medication,” I offered

but as I spoke,

Then I heard a low growl.

My body went numb.

I looked up and caught the reflection behind me in one of the picture frames.

The snarling made me grip the hem of my dress tightly, my eyes fixed on the reflection.

He was slowly transitioning while keeping his face right behind mine.

He then placed both his claws on either side of me on the couch.

They were spread so far apart that I could only imagine how massive he was.

I couldn’t even say a word.

He brought his mouth close to my ear and let out a low snarl while I closed my eyes, focusing on my breathing.

When I opened my eyes again, I noticed he was shifting back into his human form.

“So, what do you say, Dr. Liivia?”

Once he was back to normal, he leaned in and whispered into my ear without snarling.

I forced a smile onto my lips and turned to face him.

“I know the exact medicine that will help,” I said, pausing. “And the lycan will stay hidden.”

My voice came out so shaky, yet I said ‘lycan’ as naturally as if it weren’t a big deal.
