Semua Bab ENTANGLED WITH THE CURSED ICE PRINCE : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Rylan's POVI watch as Lira walks back into the mansion and I’m seething heavily inside me. Why does it look like she is still in line with River? Why does it seem that he still affects her? Although she denied it when I asked, I can’t help the voice echoing in my head that says she still loves him. Then in the storage room—when she says she would have reacted the same way if it was River who touched her—and now… that she is still giving him attention despite everything he did to her.How can she still mingle with someone that troublesome? Someone that can’t even defend himself when his whore was bullying her? Pathetic, right? But I swear that the next time Chloe comes for her, she’ll live to regret it.I don’t want to press further because of how I already snapped at her earlier. I don’t want her to get a wrong impression of me—to think that I’m a beast like everyone says. She is the only one who hasn’t looked at me like the cursed prince, so I intend to keep it that way.Funny how I

Lira's POV Liar.Rylan is a full-blooded liar and I hate it—especially that he has promised to tell me the truth, but still he lied without baiting an eye and even thinking about honouring his promises to me.His words sound almost believable but I can tell he is lieing from the way he snaps his head to the side in a bid to avoid my gaze as if I would deduce the truth from his eyes.I didn't argue with him, not because I don't want to. But because, it is useless; he won't admit to it but I swear to find out the truth by myself. And when I do.. I would throw it on his face. Throughout the rest of the day, I can't do anything else. Not even my seduction plans comes to my mind. I just want to get the fucking truth and clear every doubts in my mind about Rylan. I can't seem to figure out the reason I care so much and I'm affected by him though. But I convince myself that, I'm worried because he is my fake boyfriend and I deserve to make sure that I'm safe around him.When the Amelia com

Rylan's POV Lee let out a cold laugh—he clearly didn't believe me. "Why would a mother do that to her own child?"I don't know if I should tell him my story or not?Would he even understand? Would he even sympathise with me?He would probably think that I'm just lying. He would think that those are words I crafted to break out of this trouble. The truth is no one would believe me—let alone a man that is as bitter as him. A man that established a whole institution just to reform men.But then.. I should try. At least he is better then Nerissa. At least he was a good father to his late daughter."Cat cut your tongue," he sneers, his voice dripping with disdain. "Why would a mother hate her own child?" He thunders.I sigh. "Because she thinks that I'm cursed. Because she thinks I'm a bad omen."Lee's eyes narrows. I can see that his interest is pique from the way his gaze soften slightly. And the way he scans my eyes as if he is trying to deduce the truth from my expression.I quickly

Lira's POV I hug him tightly, bury my head in his back and my tears soak through his shirt. I shouldn't be crying—he shouldn't know I heard everything because I know quite well that he'd want every single thing to remain hidden. He'd want to carry the burdens alone."Lira..." He begins to talk but then stop as if he is still shocked to see me here and he still can't wrap his head around it yet.As much as I want to turn around and look at his face—see the scar there—the one River had inflicted on him—I couldn't. It is his secret and I will always try to respect his wish. He'd show me anytime he thinks the time is right. And if he doesn't show me at all, I won't mind. Still wrap around him, he turn around and he is already wearing his mask now.I push myself off him—slightly—just enough to stare into his eyes. He scoff. "I never thought he'd come here, pumpkin. How did you even know to come here?" He presses his thumb to my face and wipe off the tears. "Stop crying, Lira. You look so

Lira's POV "Is there any problem with that?" I spit, my voice trembling with barely restrained rage. Actually, Lucien has push me to the walk and that is why I admit to it. I'm not sure what I feel for Rylan yet. Affection? Compassion? But one thing is sure—everything makes sense whenever I'm with him. My body yearns for his touch. The clearing is silent with just the wind blowing harder and whip my hair across my face. Everyone's eyes are on me as if I have just committed an abomination. But my brother is the shockest of them all. His eyes furrows like he can't believe his ears and he is trying so hard to make sense of my words. I turn towards Rylan again and surprisingly his expression is unreadable. It is not cold neither is it unfriendly. But then.. I know I shouldn't admit to a feeling I'm not sure of yet and besides I don't want to give Rylan the wrong impression."Are you for real?" Lucien ask as if the word taste bland on his tongue. "You're in love with him?""Yes.. I l
