[Irene’s POV]
Ryu glared at Virgil. His knuckles turned white as he held his rage in his fists. I could hear him grit his teeth as red crawled all over his face. His gaze fell over me, and my eyes misted as I lowered my gaze to the ground.
He turned around with sheer force and disappeared, leaving behind a wisp of black smoke.
“Ryu…” His name almost came out as a gasp from my mouth. I broke into tears, feeling guilty when I wasn’t even at fault.
“He loves you madly,” Virgil said, and I lifted my bleary gaze to him. “I have seen him. I have seen him yearn for you and hope every f*****g second that you’d come. You came, and I saw hope light his eyes and then die as soon as you said you’d come to ask for his help to help Zane.”
My throat felt tighter with every word from Virgil’s mouth.
