Avery is heart pounded in her chest as she looked into Julian is eyes . She saw something that made her blood boil . A glimmer of madness , a hint of obsession .
" What is it Julian ?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper . " What is going on ?"
Julian is smile was enigmatic . " I have been been searching for this crystal for years , Avery . It is the key to unlocking the secrets of our world ."
Avery felt uneasy as she realized that Julian is obsession went far beyond mere curiosity . He was driven by a desire for power and for control .
" And what about me ?" Avery asked her voice firm . What role do I play in all this ?
Julian is eyes gleamed with excitement . " You Avery are the key to unlocking the crystal is true potential . You have a special gift , one that will allow us to harness the crystal is power ."
Avery felt a chill run down her spine as she realized that Julian is plans for her went far beyond mere marriage . He intended to use her to exploit her gift for his own gain .
Suddenly Lyra appeared beside her , eyes flashing with anger . " Julian stop this . You are going too far ."
Julian is face darkened , his eyes flashing with fury . " You will never understand Lyra . You will never see the vision that I see ."
Avery was convinced that Julian is obsession had consumed him . He was no longer the charming , charismatic man she had met . He was a monster one that was driven by a lust for power .
And she was trapped , caught in the middle of Julian is twisted game . What would she do next ?
