---- Living has be too difficult.


    She just wished she would sleep and never wake up.


    Not that there is anyone who is waiting for her to wake up.


    Anyone who would even bury her dead body and give her a proper cremation if she died right here.


    ---- Chapter 453 Chapter 453 The forest floor was damp and cold beneath Alexias trembling palms.Her tears mixed with the earth, smudging her face and coating her hands.


    She didnt care The weight of her heart, and her existence pressed down like an anchor.


    She couldn''t believe she crushed for a man like him almost all her life A man so shallow and insensitive.


    She thought there was good behind that guarded exterior.


    That he pretended to be cold so that he doesnt get hurt.But she was wrong He may have a beautiful face but that''s it.


    He was evil...


    he was ugly from the inside.


    He didn''t deserve her admiration.


    He wasnt any hope.


    He was wicked.


    A sadist.


    ---- What was her mistake? That she just asked him about his team mates? If it was a sensitive topic he could have just ignored her like he usually did.


    But no, he had to vent out all his anger at her.


    But in a way it was a good thing.


    Tt made his mask drop and she could see the real him.


    She could see how much he had hated her since the very beginning.


    She wished she never crossed path with him again.


    She doesn''t want to see his beautiful face ever again- Suddenly she heard a strange sound above her, the sound of someone breathing right above her and she freezes Her breathing hitched.


    She thought she was imagining but then she heard it again, a lot clearer, a guttural snarl, low and ominous.


    She blinked away her tears and through her blurred vision, she saw a shadow triple her size looming over her.


    ---- Something wet drips down her forehead and she lifts her shaking hand to touch it.


    Something transparent Her eyes snap up and she meets the horrifying red eyes of a creature towering above her.


    Its misshapen form glistened in the moonlight, and its sharp, uneven teeth dripped with saliva that sttered onto her forehead.


    She froze.


    The scream wing at her throat refused to escape, locked in a cage of terror.


    The beast leaned closer, its breath rancid as it sniffed her.


    Time slowed, and her mind screamed at her to move, but her body was paralyzed She was too afraid to even breathe let alone make a sound.


    And then she saw the creature ready to attack and with a burst of adrenaline, she rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the creature''s snapping jaws.


    She scrambled to her feet, her heart pounding like a war drum, and ran.
