Wings of Broken Time by Alina Das 239
Chapter 239
Draven was already seething from his encounter with Haskell. Now, being so coldly dismissed by Larissa, his anger had nowhere to go but inward, churning like a storm.
“Say that again,” he hissed, his voice barely a whisper.
Larissa didn’t back down. Instead, her smile widened. “I didn’t realize some people enjoyed being called a nobody twice.” She looked him straight in the eye and enunciated each word clearly. “Alright, I’ll say it again. You, Draven, are a complete and utter nobody. That’s why I’m not afraid of offending you.”
Haskell was her fiancé, her man. She had no patience for traitors like Draven.
Draven’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the lunch box. As a young master of the Palmer family, how could he tolerate such an insult from a girl who had just been plucked from a village? And to make matters worse, she was engaged to the man he wanted to destroy.
He took a step forward, stopping just inches from her, and leaned in.
“Larissa, I’ll remember what you said. I won’t touch you here, in a hospital, with so many witnesses. But you’d better watch your back at the engagement party tomorrow. Don’t give the ‘nobody‘ a chance to destroy you. You’ll end up a hundred times worse than Haskell. It won’t just be your legs.”
Larissa blinked. “I’m recording this, you know.”
Draven’s face went pale.
Then, Larissa laughed. “Just kidding.”
Realizing he’d been played, Draven’s eyes filled with rage.
Larissa straightened up, her expression one of pure contempt. “With someone like you, it doesn’t matter if I record it or not. Haskell will never trust you again anyway.
Go ahead, try to come after me. I’d be delighted. But after all this tough talk, don’t disappoint me with a half–hearted attempt.”
With that, she brushed past him and walked away.
Draven stood frozen, his hand still clenched around the lunch box. He would not let this go. Larissa would pay dearly for her arrogance.
No matter what it took.
Larissa had, of course, provoked Draven on purpose. She loved watching petty people like him lose their composure and walk right into their own traps.

She knocked and then entered Haskell’s room, a cheerful smile on her face.
“I just ran into Draven in the hallway.” she announced, placing the lunch box on the table.
Haskell looked up from the file he was reading
“And that’s made you this happy?” he asked, raising an eyebrow at her jubilant expression. “Of course! We even had a little chat,” Larissa said, beaming.
“What could you have possibly talked about that would make you so cheerful?” Haskell was intrigued. He had a feeling she was up to something.
Larissa opened her needle case on the bedside table. “I called him a backstabbing snake and a nobody. He asked me to say it again, so did. Then he got all worked up and said he was going to come after me at the party tomorrow.”
