My heart raced as Asher’s question hung in the air. I could feel my expression shift, a mix of anxiety and defensiveness washing over me. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, but I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I replied, my voice trembling slightly. “I told you I have amnesia–I barely remember anything.” I avoided his piercing gaze, hoping he wouldn’t see through my lie.
“Gemini!” he thundered, his voice echoing off the walls, making me flinch.
Why can’t he ever just believe me? My frustration bubbled up, mingling with the fear.
I didn’t even realize when I began to exchange harsh words with him. “And what if I do remember? What would you do about it? After all, you won’t believe anything I say unless I have evidence. And since I don’t, it’s better to keep quiet.”
I could see the guilt flash in his eyes, and it made my heart ache. “Gemini!” he called again, but this time his tone softened, almost pleading. “That’s not a reason to keep anything from me. I would decide what to believe or not.”
His words cut deep, and I felt the weight of the truth pressing down on me. I wanted to tell him everything, to make Becca pay for daring to touch me, but I couldn’t say a thing. One for the fact that he won’t believe me and secondly, for the fact that the person responsible was his side chick. That was equal to him doing nothing about the situation.
If only I was as strong as I should be, I would have sent Becca to an early grave, all by myself. Nevertheless, I made up my mind to make her life miserable.
For a moment I forgot he had access to my thoughts-
“Becca did this to you!” A low demonic growl escaped his lif
lips,
sound scaring me to my bones.
How come he could hear me now, but he couldn’t when I was blamed for cheating on him with another man?
The thought immediately flushed from my head as I watched King Asher storm out of the room, careless of the time.
“Asher!” I called, chasing after him.
What was all this drama for? Could he just be doing it to make me learn to open up to him, to make me think that he now trusted my words?
I soon got to a point where I could no longer meet his speed, my mind was swirling with thoughts, what the heck was he going to do about the situation now?
