"I'm sorry!"
"Why?" Adeline had a betrayed look on her face. Rebekah had done everything she could to stop her brother earlier. And never had it crossed Adeline's mind that she would do what she was going to do.
But reality had already set in Adeline's mind. She already knew she was in a kill or be killed situation.
Adeline locked Rebekah's attention on her face and stealthily slid her hand under the sofa. "Why are you doing this, Princess? You don't need to do this."
"Because however he was, he was the only family I had!" Rebekah screamed in agony and spread her fingers as though they were claws.
That scream drew Theodore's attention. A chill shiver entered his heart when he saw Rebekah straddling Adeline. Everything slowed down for him.
Rebekah gave out a battle cry and her hand was inching closer and closer to Adeline's heart.
His deep and menacing voice echoed, "Nooooooooo!"
