The chaos stilled for a split second as Falcon spoke, tension hanging thick in the air. Then, out of nowhere, Lydia sprang forward, quick as a flash, landing right next to Falcon.
He stared at her, completely dumbfounded. He’d never imagined a girl could move like that. His eyes nearly bugged out of his head.
“You... ah—”
Falcon didn’t even get a chance to finish. Lydia kicked him hard between the legs. He doubled over, almost passing out from the pain, struggling just to breathe.
“Boss!” The guy who was holding Luke shouted, panicked.
Lydia didn’t waste a second. While the man was distracted, she snatched Luke away from him, her movements still sharp but slower now, weighed down by Luke’s limp, bloodied body. She started dragging him toward the helipad, but after just a few steps, she frowned, something not feeling right.
She didn’t even get to look down before Luke suddenly twitched in her arms. She tried to push him away, but she was too slow. The boy she thought was unconscious suddenly pulled a dagger from his sleeve and drove it straight into her chest.
“Lydia!”
“Lydia!”
Connor and Sweet Potato were still fighting nearby, but the moment they saw what happened, they froze, horror etched across their faces.
Lydia’s face twisted in pain, but she fought through it. Gritting her teeth, she used every ounce of strength she had left to fling the fake Luke away from her. He wasn’t Luke. The effort made her wound ache even more and she coughed violently, blood spilling from her lips.
The blood was almost black.
The blade was poisoned, and not just any poison. This was the kind that killed fast.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
