Chapter 30. Behind the Facade

Genevieve’s POV

I stared back into his piercing green orbs. It looked stormy and dangerous. But the sun reflecting through them made them appear brighter. It felt like I was staring back into fresh green grass that was wet due to the morning dew. He was trying to intimidate me and make me feel scared but I wasn’t. I wasn’t scared for one minute. I would admit, I was surprised when I saw how he looked and fought when he was angry mainly because I had never seen him like that before. He was always indifferent. Instead of feeling scared of him, I thought about how he must be feeling underneath this hard exterior of his. It wasn’t easy having to deal with more than a hundred people saying nasty things about you. I would know that the most.

"I’m scared," I whispered. Something flashed before his eyes like he was expecting that answer but at the same time, he didn’t want to hear it. He smiled coldly and I knew he badly wanted to say the words ‘I knew it.’
