Outcast Queen: Her Return from Hell novel Chapter 296

Phoenix narrowed her eyes, a suffocating wave of rage consuming her.

She was normally a remarkably calm person, having shed her impulsive nature long ago. But seeing Pierce in such a battered, wretched state ignited a violent frenzy she thought she had buried.

Pierce was a god among men. Untouchable. Regal.

And now, he was soaked to the bone, looking like he had one foot in the grave.

And the thug responsible for reducing her husband to this state was right in her hands.

Crack.

A grotesque sound tore from Boris's throat.

His eyes bulged as the oxygen was choked from his lungs.

Just as he accepted he was going to suffocate, Phoenix released her grip, tossing him aside like garbage. "Eustace, entertain him. Make sure he wishes he was dead."

"Yes, Ms. Prescott," Eustace replied, bowing his head slightly before walking toward Boris.

Boris gasped for air, thinking he had survived, but the moment he met Eustace's dead, emotionless eyes, a freezing terror paralyzed him.

The aura radiating from this man was just as terrifying as the woman's. He was looking at Boris as if he were already a corpse.

Meanwhile, Pierce couldn't tear his eyes away from Phoenix.

All of his exhaustion and weakness seemed to evaporate, and a soft smile touched his lips.

He watched her walk toward him step by step.

It was a short distance, but it felt like a lifetime had passed. He wanted nothing more than to close the gap and pull her in.

It was an incredibly strange sensation.

In all his years, this was the first time a woman had ever made him feel this way.

"Pierce!"

Phoenix's sharp voice snapped him out of his trance.

"Yeah?"

"What are you spacing out for?" Phoenix frowned. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Pierce shook his head, a soft smile lingering. "I was just wondering... what took you so long?"

Phoenix rolled her eyes. "If you're going to complain, I shouldn't have come. But I just couldn't pass up the chance to see the mighty Reaper of Cloudhaven looking like a drowned rat."
