No One's POV
Before Viella could step back inside, the balcony door clicked shut with a heavy thud. She didn't even turn around, merely raising her eyebrows at the reflection in the glass.
"It isn't very gentleman-like to stop someone from leaving, Mr. Elias," she said, her voice mocking. "But then again, I never counted you as one."
Elias let out a low chuckle. He stepped into the moonlight, his shadow fell across the floor. "So we meet again, Viella~"
Viella turned around slowly, crossing her arms. She met his gaze with a smirk. "Indeed we did. Did you miss me?"
"Indeed, a lot," Elias replied, his voice dropping to a whisper. "To the core that I want to stab you once again... just so I can bring back my Vivien." He leaned in, his eyes searching her face for even a flicker of shock or a twitch at the mention of that name.
Viella didn't flinch. Instead, she let out a dry laugh. "So you already know that stupid girl's name. I do have to say, you're quite a genius, aren't you?"
