Chapter 4 - Prey | The Heir's Obsession Web Novel By Aimi Hikaru
Updated: 1 day ago
She'd been hunting for two years. Tonight, she felt like she was the one being hunted.
Qistina was halfway to her car when she heard it.

Behind her. Slow. Steady. Not in a hurry.
She stopped walking, without immediately turning around. She knew someone was following her. Someone who had been watching her all evening. She was exhausted tonight. Truly, deeply exhausted.
She wasn't just trying to focus on her studies; she also had to continue her mission of hunting down whoever the sole heir was. Since her first semester, Qistina had never known the meaning of exhaustion. The exhaustion of searching for that person.
She felt as though she was constantly chasing the shadow of that man. Or... was it possible that she was actually the one being chased by the dark shadow?

"What do you want?" she asked without turning around.
Slowly and carefully, she slipped her hand into her coat pocket. Her fingers closed around the small canister of pepper spray she'd bought years ago and never had to use.
