Chapter 87 +25 BONUS Chapter 87 Claire's POV Daphne has finally shown her true colours not just in front of me but in front of Gideon as well . She was no longer acting like the perfect Lama who used to smile and act sweet in front of everyone , 11er eyes were full of malice , glittering like shards of glass , and her lips curved into a smile that promised only destruction . " Well , Raven , " She sneered , her voice filled with venom , " You are very stubborn , aren't you ?

Holding onto something that doesn't belong to you , " Her gaze turned towards Gideon as she looked at him with hunger of lust , " Hand him over . Now , Or I'll rip you apart piece by piece until you beg me to take him , " 1 froze , my body going taut .
