Suddenly, Liam appeared beside her, his eyes blazing with intensity. "Don't listen to him, Annabelle," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "He's using you for his own gain."

"Liam, what's going on?" Annabelle asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

Liam's eyes flashed with anger. "Elijah's using you, Annabelle. He's manipulating you for his own gain." Couldn't she see that, why is she still asking what's going on? His inner voice asked, his anger causing pain to his heart, but he masked it away with a steady blank look on his face.
