Chapter 6 Robert was caught between anger and distress as he yanked Lexi back to his side , his gaze fixed on the man before him one whose presence alone seemed to suffocate the room .
Mr.
McLeod , this is Stormhavn .
You should know that even the strongest outsider cant overpower the one who rules the local area .
His voice was steady , but there was an edge to it .
Besides , Bain Group has never crossed the McLeods .
You were the one who took my fiancée and attacked my men .
Dont you think I deserve an explanation ? Spencer arched a brow , his eyes cold and fathomless .
I wasnt aware my own sister was engaged to you .
] Roberts face stiffened , the shock unmistakable .
He thought back to all the times he had asked about my family , only for me to dismiss his questions with vague excuses .
Theyre not in the picture , I had always said .
Under his breath , he murmured , almost in disbelief , Ada … Adalyn … shes a part of the McLeods ? ! The McLeods from Umbragrad had three powerful sons , each commanding their own influence .
They also had a daughter , the youngest .
The very girl who had never shown herself into the public .
Roberts pulse quickened .
Looking at Spencers dark , unreadable expression , unease crept into his chest .
This was getting far more complicated than he had anticipated .
His gaze flickered down to me .
My face was pale , my eyes still tightly shut .
Then , a soft , broken whisper escaped my lips .

No … please … my eyes … A shudder ran through me as I trembled , lost in the haze of my own fear .
The fragile sound of my voice sent a ripple through the tense silence , and for the first time that night , something in the air shifted Spencer gently stroked the back of my head , his touch filled with quiet pain .
Without hesitation , he lifted me into his arms and carried me toward the door , stepping past the stunned man without so much as a glance .
The sound of retreating footsteps echoed in Roberts ears , and a sharp pain seized his chest .
He was losing me .
Panic shot through him .
In an instant , he turned and blocked Spencers path , his eyes burning with desperation .
Mr.
McLeod , Adalyn is my fiancée .
Even if youre her brother , you cant just take her away .
Today is our wedding day .
I promised her a grand ceremony , a day she would never forget- Spencers voice was deathly quiet , chilling to the bon I wouldnt mind turning it into a funeral instead .
Before Robert could react , Spencers foot slammed into the back of his knee .
With a sharp crack , Robert collapsed , both knees crashing onto the floor .
Robert , Spencer said , his tone dangerously calm .
You know exactly what the McLeods are capable of .
} ] The distant growl of an engine rumbled outside .
} A cup of warm water pressed against my lips as Spencer carefully propped me up , handling me as if I were made of glass .
The warmth spread through my body , chasing away the lingering cold.§ Meanwhile , Spencers fingers moved swiftly across his tablet .
With each flick of the screen , his expression darkened .
Then , he saw it .
The forced cornea donation .
The removal of my uterus .
A slow , burning rage seething within him , the beast he had spent years restraining now clawing to be free .
He exhaled sharply , forcing himself to stay in control .
The last thing he wanted was to scare me .
In that moment , Spencer felt like he was losing his mind .
A low , muffled sob reached my ears .
I tilted my head slightly and whispered , Spencer ? } ] Spencers voice trembled with guilt .
I couldnt even protect my only sister … I dont deserve to be your brother .
Im sorry , Ada .
This is all my fault … I felt his body shake ever so slightly , and my own tears slipped silently down my cheeks .
Cool fingertips brushed them away .
Spencers voice was soft , almost gentle , but beneath it , a quiet storm brewed .
The people who hurt you … let me deal with them .
I shook my head , my voice barely above a whisper .
No.
This is my revenge to take .
}] *** Hours later , the plane touched down at the McLeod estate in the capital .
Ada ! Nico and Ronan , my two elder brothers , had been waiting .
The moment I arrived , their sharp , uneven breaths filled the air , thick with tension and unspoken pain .
I reached out , trying to reassure them .
Nico , Ronan … Im okay .
Dont worry .
The McLeod brothers were feared for their coldness , their ruthlessness .
They now stood before me , their eyes red at the edges , their ironclad composure slipping .
Their hands trembled slightly as they grasped mine , holding on as if afraid to let go .
At that moment , no words were needed between us .
