The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 319

ve?

Then, the soft, stifled sounds slipped from Cassian’s lips, each one carrying a hint of irresistible allure that sparked the imagination.

Three minutes later, Cassian felt like he was on the verge of death.

After countless pleadings and coquettish acts failed, Cassian looked at Raven, who kept setting fires but didn’t bother to put them out with his slightly bloodshot, watery eyes. His voice, hoarse yet dripping with undeniable charm, carried a trace of exasperation. “I was wrong.”

Raven paused her fire–starting antics, raising an eyebrow at him. “Oh? What exactly did you do wrong?”

Cassian pressed his lips together, opening and closing them a few times before finally giving in with a resigned tone. “I shouldn’t have tried to be clever.”

Raven’s smile was faint but carried a hint of mischief. “Anything else?”

“I shouldn’t have tried to set up that arrogant, self–absorbed jerk with a woman. And I definitely shouldn’t have lied to you.” Raven studied Cassian, the little troublemaker looked utterly defeated, but his sharp mind was still as clear as ever. The amusement in her eyes deepened.

Still, to make sure Cassian didn’t do the wrong thing again, she asked, “What if it happens again?”

“It won’t!” Cassian’s voice was unusually firm, almost childlike in its conviction.

He did look like a kid who had learned his lesson and wouldn’t repeat the same mistake.

It was a pity that Raven wasn’t taken in by his tricks.

“What if it happens again?” she asked, her tone sharp.

“If it happens again, I’ll deal with that arrogant self–absorbed jerk myself!” Cassian muttered under his breath.

Of course, he didn’t dare say the rest out loud, sniffling like a kicked puppy.

After a moment’s hesitation, Cassian steeled himself like a man walking to his doom and declared, “Fine, I’ll punish myself by staying out of your bed for a whole week!”

To Cassian, there was no punishment more brutal than that.

However, Raven raised an eyebrow at his so–called guarantee. “Is that punishing you or me?” she retorted.

Cassian was momentarily stunned.

‘Wait, was Raven happy with my performance?‘ The thought made Cassian’s lips curl into a faint, uncontrollable smirk.

But the moment his gaze met Raven’s eyes glinting with a subtle yet unmistakable threat, his smirk vanished in an instant. With a defeated sigh, he muttered, “Alright. What do you think should be done if there is a next time?”

Raven’s eyes sparkled with amusement, her smile deepening slightly.

Yet, beneath her smile, a sharp and dangerous edge could be felt.

“I’ll have fun with you before I finish you off if there is a next time!”

Cassian’s slender frame trembled uncontrollably.

Though he was certain Raven wouldn’t kill him, he knew for sure that if he got caught framing that arrogant, self–absorbed jerk again, he’d be in serious trouble.

In that moment, he made a firm decision. ‘I absolutely can’t get caught next time!‘

Just as Cassian was silently vowing to himself, Raven’s delicate hand started setting fire again.

Soon, Cassian’s voice, sweet and captivating, yet practically begging for more teasing, rang out once more in the spacious

room.
