~ Sylara's POV ~
Confusion clouded my mind like a thick, suffocating fog as I stared at the man on the screen. What had happened to him? Why was he dead…and thrown into the river like garbage?
A shiver ran down my spine as my thoughts went to Nicholas. He was the last person to see him alive. Nicholas had punched him...hard enough to nearly knock him down.
Could… could Nicholas have finished what he started? Could he have thrown him into the river afterward?
No. I shook my head violently, desperate to cling to hope. Nicholas couldn’t be a murderer. His aura might be cold, intimidating, even terrifying... but murder? That was impossible.
"Nicholas is more heartless than the devil," the man's voice echoed in my ears. Worse than the devil? Could it be true? Did Nicholas really… kill him?
