My fingers shook as I reached out, bloodshot eyes only focused on it, but before I could grasp it…the pendant fell.

Clink.

The glass center shattered like a small, dying cry, breaking into millions of pieces.

"No! "I screamed, a raw sound that rippled through the ward.

My knees scraped the floor, pain burning through bone as I scrambled on my palms across the broken glassed as I desperately tried to gather the tiny fragments.

"Lianna, stop it. "Zyan looked momentarily at a loss but still hardened his expression.

"NO!!"I shouted, my voice unrecognizable.

Victoria jumped at the sound, then instantly clutched her stomach dramatically, gasping.

"Z-Zyan…sister is scaring me…I am sorry…I didn’t mean to drop it…please don’t be angry…"

A flicker of pity rose in Zyan but the moment he thought of Victoria, that it disappeared.

His eyes turned cold, flat.

"Stop this pathetic tantrum. "he said to me, voice low with disgust. "If you were so concerned about it then maybe you shouldn’t have tried to kill your sister! "

I stared at the ground, my chest rising violently, my hands still digging through glass.
