Cassy's voice hitched, unable to speak as she stared into Lucian's piercing eyes. Her gaze drifted down to the cold metallic blade pressed against her neck, sending shivers down her spine.
"I saw your official statement. She's gone, Lucian. You're no better than me," Cassy scoffed, her smirk widening.
She had done her research on the woman he was obsessed with. If she hadn't, guilt might have consumed her. But now, she knew he was just a maniac chasing after a woman who had used him.
"You're just a pathetic man searching for a woman who long forgot about you. Or don't you understand the meaning of a one-night stand? You claim I used you, but she was the one who used you and dumped you! Get it into your head, no woman would leave the whole world to be with you!"
"You are truly not worth my time."
Lucian rubbed the blade across her throat in a smooth straight line, whispering into Cassy's ear, "Be careful of what you say next time."
