Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 698

The familiar voice gave Sylvia a surreal feeling, as if a lifetime had passed.

She followed the clean fingers to look at the person.

It was Rupert Garcia, whom she hadn't seen in over a month.

He had lost some weight, making his facial features look even sharper and more dangerous. His deep, dark eyes flickered imperceptibly.

With just one glance, a chill crept up her spine, a coldness that froze her blood.

Sylvia zoned out for a moment, then realized she was staring at him and quickly snapped back to reality, turning her body sideways.

"I don't need it."

As she walked past him, her wrist was tightly gripped.

The man stared at Sylvia's face, his jawline tense, his restrained eyes churning with intense emotion.

The next second, he reached back and slammed the door shut, forcing Sylvia back into the restroom.

Sylvia stumbled back a few steps, bumping against the edge of the vanity, her head pressing against the cold mirror.

The man pressed in close, looking down at her face from a dominant height, refusing to miss even the slightest change in her expression.

His undisguised, predatory gaze made it hard for her to breathe.

Sylvia tried to look away, but the moment she turned her head, he grabbed her chin and forced her to look up, making her lock eyes with him.

His Adam's apple bobbed slowly, and his erratic breath brushed against her face.

"Are you really going to marry him?"

"Yes," Sylvia answered crisply and decisively.

A faint flush rose at the corners of Rupert's eyes, and his gaze instantly turned ruthless and terrifying.

Sylvia struggled, the pain intensifying where he gripped her chin.

Then, he forcefully pulled her into his arms, his dark eyes swirling with a complex emotion she couldn't understand.

As he crashed his lips down on hers, the sound of a slap echoed sharply in the empty restroom.

"Are you out of your mind?" Sylvia yelled furiously. "You're married, Mr. Rupert."

Rupert tilted his head slightly, his tongue darting out to lick the corner of his lips.
