Chapter 483 Give Me a Reason
Finished
Thora’s expression didn’t change, but her eyes shifted slightly. She couldn’t figure out what game Lance was playing.
Lance, for his part, looked completely unbothered, as if he’d just cracked a casual joke.
Frost’s gaze also landed on Thora, venom churning in his chest. Her again. He absolutely did not want Sierra asking that woman for help.
But he also knew that in a situation like this, Sierra would do it without hesitation.
He didn’t have an ounce of strength left. He couldn’t even move. All he could do was watch.
Sierra’s eyes found Thora too. She didn’t understand why Lance was making her plead with this she knew one thing-Lance was a man of his word. Whatever he promised, he delivered.

She stared at Thora for a long time without speaking, but the desperate plea in her eyes said everything words couldn’t.
Thora gazed back with a flat, unreadable expression. Not a flicker of response.
Lance spoke again, his tone tinged with amusement. “All you have to do is get her to speak on your behalf, and I’ll let you both walk.”
His thin lips curved into an effortlessly elegant arc, but the smile was cold and bloodless. Only his blue eyes, when they drifted toward Thora, carried a warmth that didn’t exist anywhere else.
Sierra looked at Frost, barely clinging to life on the ground, then back at Thora.
The scene felt hauntingly familiar. And in the end, the person she was turning to was the same one as before.
Somehow, without her even noticing when it started, this woman had become tangled in their fate.
She fixed her gaze on Thora once more, bit down hard on her lower lip, and forced out four agonizing words, one by one. “Thora … please … help us…”
Those four words drained every last drop of strength she had.
Watching Sierra lower her head and beg, Frost bit through his own lip too. The taste of blood flooded his mouth.
He knew Sierra better than anyone. Even back at the thef syndicate headquarters, in a place as brutal and unforgiving as that, she had never once groveled before another person.
But now, for him, she was bowing her head to Thora.
This was the second time. The first time she had ever seaside her pride in front of someone el
It cut Frost to the bone. He would rather die on the spot yet he was terrified that if he did, Sierra w truly follow him into the dark.
He was torn apart by the contradiction-he couldn’t bear the thought of Sierra living in this world alone, he couldn’t stomach the idea of someone so young throwing her life away.

Chapter 483. Give Me a Reason
Finished
So he endured. Even with every bone in his body feeling like it had been ground to powder, even with pain so intense it threatened to suffocate him, he held on.
Thora’s gaze finally settled back on Sierra. She looked at those reddened eyes and said just four words. “Give
me a reason.”
It wasn’t that she lacked the ability to pry these two from Lance’s grasp. It was that, up to this moment, she had no reason to.
Since Sierra had opened her mouth, Thora needed a reason worth acting on.
Sierra was silent for a long beat before she finally spoke her voice raw and hoarse. “He’s all I have. And I’m
all he has.”
“And what does that have to do with me?” Thora’s reply was cool and detached.
Thora’s answer was both exactly what Lance had expected and not quite what he’d predicted. The Thora he knew had never been one to stick her neck out for strangers. And yet he couldn’t resist making things a little more interesting.
The words hit Sierra like a punch to the chest. She should have known that would be the answer.
Of course. Why would anyone help two strangers for no reason, especially when there was bad blood between them?
She wasn’t afraid to die, but she didn’t want to. And she definitely didn’t want Frost to die.
There was still a future she hadn’t lived yet, and she refused to leave this world carrying that regret.
