CHAPTER 40
Layla's POV
Revenge! That sweet, beautiful feeling!
Revenge was truly a beautiful thing, something weak and old me wouldn't have understood, but not the new me!
I had my poisoned dagger. I had Daven right there in my grasp and was ready to enact my revenge, but Derek, that nosy prince, had stopped me!
“Layla?!” Derek stepped back in horror. “How?” He asked.
Wait! He could recognize me now! He could! My mask had worn off! That meant Malkin's magic had faded? Why now?
“What are you doing?!” Derek asked in total astonishment. “What are you up to?!”
“Here to take my revenge!” I snapped. “I'm going to kill Daven myself!”
Derek clamped a hand over my mouth and turned to look at the guard who stood motionlessly at the door. For a second, I had completely forgotten about him.
