Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 634:

Caiden’s eyes widened in shock.

Daniela turned her head slowly, her clear, steady gaze locking with his.

“Do you think Katrina had something to do with my mother’s death? And who do you think is responsible for Katrina’s murder?”

Daniela let out a low chuckle, her tone laced with audacity.

“Or is it that you think I killed Katrina?”

Her words came out with unnerving candor.

Caiden froze, caught off guard by her bluntness. He had expected evasion, maybe deflection—not this direct confrontation. His eyes darted nervously, guilt flickering in his expression.

“I don’t know. All I know is that it has nothing to do with me. If you’re planning to stir up trouble, don’t drag me into it.”

Without waiting for a reply, Caiden spun on his heel, intent on fleeing the suffocating tension.

But he hadn’t taken more than a few steps when Daniela’s voice echoed behind him.

“You can’t outrun the consequences of your actions.”

The words hit him like a blow to the back, forcing him to halt.

A shiver crawled down his spine as he stood frozen in place. Slowly, almost unwillingly, he turned around.

What he saw made his blood run cold. Daniela stood with unwavering confidence, her arms raised, hands mimicking the shape of a gun.

At that exact moment, a gust of wind barreled through the hallway, slamming the door shut with a deafening bang. The sound reverberated like a gunshot, perfectly echoing her mock gesture.

His breath hitched, and the chill of terror settled deep into his bones as Daniela’s smile widened.

He stood there, rooted to the spot, words failing him as dread coursed through his veins.

Without another glance, Daniela turned and strode gracefully into the house.

When Cedric returned later that evening, he found Daniela already home.

“You’re back,” Daniela greeted him, her smile warm and composed.

Cedric lingered by the doorway.

“You came home earlier than I expected.”

“Yes. The banquet was draining. I needed some time to myself.”noveldrama

Cedric stood at the door, quietly watching Daniela. After a moment, he stepped inside.

“Katrina is dead. Did you hear about it?”

Daniela nodded.

“I saw it on the news.”

“You don’t seem surprised,” Cedric observed.

Daniela’s smile didn’t falter.

“Why should I be? I was there when it happened. I saw everything unfold with my own eyes. Isn’t it natural that I wouldn’t be shocked?”

“This doesn’t add up,” he replied.

Daniela let out a soft laugh.
