Chapter 1

I’m Skylar, the most renowned medium in this region, known for helping souls lost to water find peace. One day, a tycoon walked in, demanding I retrieve his fiancée's ring.

I waved him off, "Find someone else. She doesn't want me to do this."

Damien Thorne, the tycoon, chuckled, pushing me slightly. "You're turning down money? Putting on airs, are we? Just retrieve a ring, what's the big deal?"

More and more people gathered, all condemning me for being uncooperative.

"Clueless idiot. You have no idea who you're messing with! You won't be working in this city ever again!"

Seeing the rising chorus of insults, I turned and waved them away. "Go on, get out of here. If you don't, I can't guarantee your safety."

The words barely left my lips when the crowd burst into laughter.

Damien, leading the pack, snarled, grabbing my collar. "It's just a damn ring! Why are you so difficult? Annoying!"

"Worst case, something happens, I'll take full responsibility! You don't need to worry about it!"

He claimed I didn't need to worry, but the sudden, unexplainable chill wind that blew through me made my heart race.

Because I knew, today, someone would definitely die here.
