Maeve stood before Leander, her gaze deep and sorrowful.
The image of Leander standing alone, sweeping aside all his enemies with an invincible presence, was still vivid in her mind. But that wasn’t what she cared about now.
All she wanted to know was why Leander refused to acknowledge her, why he wouldn’t tell her the truth, why–even when she was standing so close–he still treated her like a stranger.
“Why won’t you recognize me?” she whispered.
She reached out, her delicate fingers grasping the sleeve of Leander’s coat, tears welling in her
eyes.
Yvette stood quietly to the side. She could clearly sense how Maeve was feeling at this moment, and she quickly stepped back to give Maeve and Leander space to be alone.
Leander’s gaze remained calm and steady, unmoved by Maeve’s reaction. He simply shook his head. “What difference would it make whether I told you or not? To me, you’re nothing more than a passerby in my life.
“I just happened to come across you when you jumped off that cliff and pulled you back- nothing more. There’s really no deep connection between us. Saving you was just a casual act.
“Don’t think of me as being some noble person. I’m far from someone who came to rescue you from your life.
“Everything you’ve achieved today, you earned yourself. It has nothing to do with me p>
Then, he gently pried Maeve’s hand from his sleeve and stretched lazily. “I only saved you tonight because we once met before.
“After this, the people of the Umbral Court won’t come after you again, so you can stop worrying. You can go back to being the big star you are. I have my own path to walk, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Understand p>
With that, he turned without hesitation, ready to leave.
Maeve’s pupils trembled, and she rushed to grab his arm. “No! You can’t just walk away like this p>
Her voice cracked with tears as she clung to him, refusing to let go, desperation in her tone. “Don’t leave me! After everything… After finally seeing you again… If you leave me now, what am I supposed to do p>

Tears spilled down her cheeks again, but Leander’s expression remained as cold and indifferent as before. “What you’re supposed to do? That’s something you should ask your sister and your father–not me p>
With a small shake of his arm, Maeve’s grip slipped away, and she could only stand there, dazed, as she watched Leander and Yvette disappear into the night.
In that darkness, only a parting sentence echoed back, leaving both Emma and Maeve stunned in place.
“Emma Reyne, keep your sister in check. When you came to Ravenridge and asked me to break off the engagement, I let you have your way. So please, don’t let her bother me again p>
“Maeve!” Emma finally steadied her breath, preparing to grab Maeve’s arm.
However, Maeve, acting completely out of character, threw her hand off, anger and resentment burning in her eyes. “Emma, tell me why! He clearly wasn’t dead, so why did you all tell me he was? Why did you lie to me p>
Her voice rose into a shout, anguished and raw.
For two whole years, she had lived in endless regret and longing, thinking about Leander every day and night, mourning for him… but in the end, it had all been a lie. Leander had never died -it was all a fabrication by Emma and their father.
Emma froze, unable to answer. When Leander had returned Maeve to them, their father, Jackson, had felt grateful and, to fulfill Maeve’s wish, privately made a verbal engagement between Maeve and Leander.
While Leander never cared about it, Maeve had kept that promise close to her heart, dreaming of the day her eyesight would return so she could marry him.
When Emma found out, she immediately objected. In the end, Jackson was persuaded too, and together they concocted a lie that Leander was dead, hoping to extinguish Maeve’s hopes for the engagement.
She had done it because she looked down on Leander, dismissing him as a penniless young man who came from the backwoods. And now, faced with Maeve’s questions, she couldn’t speak a single word in reply.
She simply didn’t know what to say.
“Maeve, I…” Emma tried to explain, but Maeve raised a hand to cut her off, her expression blank, as if her soul had left her body. “Everyone, just leave me alone. I just want some time to myself p>
Her steps were unsteady as she slowly disappeared into the darkness, leaving the others

“Troy, Macve…” Trevor looked over at his brother, whose expression flickered between anger and unwillingness, but in the end, it shifted into a flash of fear.
He had thought it would be easy to eliminate Leander and erase him completely from Maeve’s world. But who could have predicted that his opponent wouldn’t be some reckless, naive kid he could crush without effort, but a true dragon soaring across the heavens?
Meanwhile, Thaddeus‘ gaze was dark and brooding, his mind racing with thoughts.
His plan had been for his family to forge an alliance with the Reynes through marriage, which would further cement their dominance over Glenwick. But now it was clear that there was a deep, tangled connection between Maeve and Leander.
Even if Leander appeared cold and indifferent toward Maeve, who could guarantee what might develop between them in the future?
To fight the Iron Sovereign for a woman? Thaddeus knew perfectly well that his family was no match.
By the city moat, Leander walked with one hand in his pocket, side by side with Yvette, who suddenly tilted her head curiously, asking, “Why did you say all that to her? Those weren’t your true feelings, were they p>
“Whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter,” he replied, his gaze deep and distant. “What matters is keeping her away from me so she can live her life p>
What he wanted was simple: for Maeve to give up hope. In Highcliffe, there was still a promise waiting for him to fulfill. Until then, he didn’t want to be entangled in any emotional attachments.
Yvette understood that there was another woman who stood in Leander’s heart–a place she could never reach, no matter how much she gave. So, she fell silent.
On the outskirts of Ravenridge, a green Jeep sped into the city and pulled up outside Bright Villa in the Skyview Heights neighborhood.
A young man stepped down from the Jeep, clad in a leather coat. He was about six feet one, with a muscular build and a confident, commanding stride. His sharp eyes glinted with a piercing light. Though imposing and broad–shouldered, he was strikingly handsome, exuding a charm that was dangerous and irresistible to women.

He rang the doorbell, and before long, the front door opened. A young man in a simple shirt appened, his features handsome, ban his brows furrowed in deep worry. A faint shadow seemed to cloud his expression was Colin Bright, whom no one had seen in months.
“It’s been a long time,” the man at the door said with a steady smile.
Colin froze in shock when he saw who it was, his face filled with disbelief. “Skyler? You… What are you doing here p>
His voice trembled as he stared at the visitor. The two of them hadn’t seen each other for three years, and yet Skyler Eaton had suddenly appeared at his door.
“Why did you come looking for me?” Colin asked, his gaze sharpening as he spoke.
The two of them had once been fierce rivals–the most bitter of romantic enemies. After Skyler had suddenly left years ago, Colin had gradually pushed him from his mind.
He truly couldn’t understand why Skyler would come looking for him now.
Skyler stood tall and straight, a faint smile on his face. “I came here for one reason: to find out whether you ever won the contest between us p>
Colin’s face stiffened. “You’re talking about… Yvette?” For more chapters visit.net
Skyler nodded coolly, a smile playing on his lips. “Seeing your expression, I already know the answer. In these past three years, while I was gone, you failed to win Yvette’s heart. That proves I couldn’t have picked a better time to return p>
His voice was brimming with confidence, and his piercing gaze seemed to lock onto Colin like a predator.
“Colin Bright, back then, we were deadlocked, each viewing the other as his greatest rival. Yet, in the three years I was gone, you didn’t manage to win Yvette over.
“Now, let me be blunt with you–since I’ve returned, you won’t get another chance. Yvette will only ever be mine! And half a year ago, I was officially inducted into Wyvern Blade p>
The moment Colin heard that, his eyes widened with incredulity and his heart trembled violently.
