His hand slowly slid into his pocket, wrapping tightly around his phone. His fingers pressed so hard against the device that the veins on the back of his hand began to swell, pulsing with restrained fury. How could Kai have failed again? Not only did Cecilia survive, but she had the boldness to walk into this hall like she owned it. This wasn't just an insult. It was a threat.
