Chapter 66

Esmeralda Pov

I was stunned to hear such words from his mouth. I know Mikel had his bad sides, we all do, but I never expected him to use such harsh words on me.

I could understand him, if someone had been calling me non stop for hours I probably would've lashed out as well. But it was different this time, he is someone I'm expected to spend the rest of my life with, someone that is expected to mark me, to make me his. And he was using such words on me.

I didn't like it. I didn't like his tone or his words. I didn't like anything about our interaction, especially the fact that I couldn't say anything and was just staring like a dumb bitch.

Maybe I am a dumb bitch. Maybe that's why Mikel thinks he could treat me so badly. After I had stolen Killian's gun for him, after I risked my non-existent relationship with Killian for him.

There was also the possibility that Mikel really was busy and that I had been disturbing him, but what did he expect from me?
