Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 4

She was practically saying Willow was only fit for the gutter!

And yet, her brothers acted completely deaf to the vicious insult, gazing at Tessa as if she were the most considerate angel on earth.-

Willow watched the staggering figure approach. In her past life, she hadn't seen the man's face before being pinned to the bed, but the terrifying memory surfaced regardless.

She backed away instinctively, only for her gaze to lock onto the man's face.

Beneath the grime and matted hair lay striking, deep-set features. Even in this wretched state, a dangerous, lazy elegance clung to him.

His most captivating feature was a pair of narrow, silver-gray eyes. His messy hair half-hid his piercing gaze, but the raw, predatory intensity was impossible to miss.

As the face drew closer, it perfectly aligned with the ruthless, untamable shadow boss of the Jagger Family from her future!

Willow's eyes widened in realization.

He was Elias's ultimate nemesis!

At just twenty-one, this man had inherited a collapsing empire, ruthlessly purged the traitors, consolidated their global enterprises, and single-handedly pushed the Jagger Family to the absolute pinnacle of power—Lucian Jagger!

If Lucian hadn't been betrayed by his closest aide, leaving him paralyzed and eventually dying young from those complications...

Elias wouldn't have stood a chance against him!

If her timeline was right, this was exactly when Lucian had been backstabbed and was hiding in the shadows!

Willow's heart hammered against her ribs as her gaze dropped to his legs.

They were bruised and battered, but the bones weren't shattered!

He wasn't paralyzed yet!

If she saved Lucian now, wouldn't he become her ultimate weapon to crush Elias later?!

With a healthy Lucian in the picture, Elias's golden future was about to become a living hell!
