Chapter 111Lily's POV
Dead?
My body refused to move. I was rooted to the ground, head blank, forehead damp with sweat. The pressure caged me in, every muscle stiff, every thought drowned.
But my eyes, my eyes still worked.
I saw everything.
Jane's face lit up first in surprise, her lips parting slightly at the guard's words. Then, slowly, that surprise melted into something darker. A smile. Wide, sharp, hungry.
"Finally some good news. Well," she said softly, her voice thick with glee. "Looks like the Moon Goddess has finally blessed me tonight."
Jane let out a short, cruel laugh. "Someone finally killed her. One less thorn in my side. I told Joe she wouldn't last, didn't I?" She turned to Ivan, her eyes glittering. "Didn't I say she was nothing but trouble?"
"Yea". Ivan answered absentmindedly.
She laughed, an actual laugh that echoed in the hallway, brittle and cruel. "Lily dead… oh, Ivan, this calls for celebration."
