Chapter 46: An Unwelcome Revelation

When Raul motioned for Olivera to follow him, she hesitated, the unease evident in her stance. His cold, unfeeling expression, even in the act of giving orders, sent shivers down her spine. Though he had rescued her from a dire situation, her apprehension toward him had only grown. The rumors of his ruthless nature had not been lost on her, and the harsh reality of his demeanor was now sinking in. Raul’s piercing black eyes locked onto her with a warning that left little room for doubt. The unspoken threat was clear: defy him at your own peril. With a deep breath, Olivera pushed through her fear and moved to follow him, acutely aware of his imposing height and the gravity of his presence. “If I haven’t found a use for you within three months, pack your belongings and leave. Inform the others as well. You’ve overstayed your welcome. I don’t want to see any of these women here when I return,” Raul commanded, his gaze sweeping over the gathered ladies. The room's atmosphere grew tense.
