GoodReadThe bodyguard snapped to attention and swiftly moved, dagger in hand, towards Sebastian's index finger.
"Stop!"
Orion's anguished voice rang out from the doorway, nearly crawling as he rushed in, shouting, "Alexander,
don't!"
But he was a step too late. The bodyguard's blade descended once more.
This time, Sebastian didn't scream. He clenched his eyes shut, his face contorting in agony as the blade fell,
emitting only faint, muted noises.
Witnessing the scene, Orion's legs gave out, and he collapsed, rigidly fixated on Sebastian, tears streaming down
his face as he huskily called Sebastian's name. The words strained from his throat, each syllable a struggle as
Orion crawled toward Sebastian with shaking hands, desperate to provide aid.
Reaching Sebastian, he gazed at the severed fingers, his lips trembling, his face drained of color. Ignoring
Alexander beside him, Orion frantically tore his clothing, using the scraps to bind Sebastian's wounds.
"Sebastian, I'm sorry I'm late..." Orion murmured to himself, voice choked with emotion as he tended to
Sebastian's fingers, his tone unusually strained, "Hang in there, Sebastian."
Meanwhile, Alexander remained unperturbed, a grim reaper in human form, watching Orion with cold
detachment.

shock and disbelief. She stood motionless at the doorway, her gaze eventually shifting towards the figure seated
in the chair. He sat there tranquilly, as though detached from the unfolding events.
Sensing Quinn's eyes on him, he shifted his gaze, locking eyes with her. Their gaze met, a moment of silent
connection, where tseemed suspended in the air.
Quinn's knuckles whitened as she clutched the doorframe, her body trembling slightly. Despite her visible
distress, Alexander remained aloof, showing no sign of guilt or self-awareness at being caught in the act.
Once Orion had finished bandaging Sebastian haphazardly, he raised his tear-streaked eyes to meet Alexander's
gaze.
In his eyes, a mix of indescribable hatred and anger was evident, a clear desire to rush forward and confront
Alexander.
"Alexander, how could you be so cruel?" Orion's voice quivered with anger or perhaps profound sadness,
"Sebastian is only nineteen. How could you do this?"
Alexander lowered his gaze towards him, replying coolly, "That question should be directed at Orion himself.
When you choose to defy me, you must accept the consequences."
"Unfortunately, Orion's youthful arrogance blinds him to the cost of his mistakes."
Standing up from his chair, Alexander strolled leisurely towards Orion, "I had hoped that you, Orion, would have
learned from the lessons taught by those beasts earlier. | overestimated you." Orion's pupils dilated gradually,
his shoulders trembling more violently, "What do you mean?"
Alexander tilted his head slightly, gazing down at him condescendingly, a faint smirk playing at his lips, "Seems
besides having a poor memory, Orion, your ears aren't working well either."
"It was you!?" Orion, eyes burning red, visions of the dogs' gruesdeaths replaying in his mind, "You
instigated my father to do it?"
