Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Anya’s Strategy

"Of course, there’s no better place I would want to be but here, so think of me honored. Moreover, it’s within my right to congratulate my very good friend on choosing a fiancée after our years together."

Silence hung over them like a thick curtain after Anya’s ambiguous words, shrouding the room in a heavy stillness.

After leaving the lingering uncertainty to echo across, Anya pompously sat down. She intended to sow seeds of discord and create division between Issac and Maxi. She hoped it worked this time. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The seat she had taken was directly opposite Kayla’s and she lifted her head feeling the heat of her stare.

"What?"

Anya was uncomfortable with the blazing intensity at which she stared at her.

"Do you ever give up?" Kayla sneered at her.

"What are you talking about?" She pretended to be oblivious.

"Don’t give me that ignorant look, Anya or should I call you a desperate bitch, maybe then you will understand?"

"Kayla!" Oma scolded her with a hard look in her eyes.

But the girl was not close to giving up and continued, "Or maybe you can tell that to the troublesome guest that she’s not welcomed here —"

"That’s enough!" Issac boomed, his voice resonating with a commanding authority that echoed through the space, leaving no room for indifference or snark from anybody, whosoever that may be.

Even Anya flinched from the invasive magic that accompanied his strong command. From the startled looks from everyone on the table — except his nonchalant fiancée — they had felt that power too.

Issac turned his full attention on her and her stomach sank at the challenge in his eyes. He was not ignorant of her tactics and wouldn’t take it lightly again if she stepped out of line.

Shame and resentment filled Anya and she bit the inside of her cheek till she drew blood. This was unfair, she protested inwardly. Doesn’t he know why she was doing this?

She loves him!

They were great together, evidenced by the years of unbreakable friendship. Until now. Issac can’t let what they shared as friends end just like that. They would do much better as lovers. Why can’t he see that?

Kayla was the most pained from the way she silently glared at her brother. She had tried to help him get rid of this saboteur and this is the way he treated her? Her hands were clenched so hard they shook. Calan had to place his palm on top of hers and soften the blow her brother dished out to her.

"Let’s eat."

That simple command from Issac left no room for negotiation and everyone obeyed, minding their business. The palpable tension should have ruined the dinner but Oma was wise enough to attempt small talk.
