Chapter 25. Confused as Ever

He did not know what to do when the words rolled out of her tongue, and hit his ears with a loud bang.

“I refused to fuck him!” She screamed aloud.

He paused, stopped walking.

Every element of time froze for him. His jaw tightened, his teeth clenched, and he hid his fist inside his pockets so she wouldn’t see them curve into balls.

Then, he turned to her.

He had thought her to be a coward, a lying coward for what she had done. But, now that she was standing there, visibly distraught and in pain that only she could comprehend.

In her eyes, he saw that everything she had spoken might have been true. There was pain, desperation, and beams of memories she wanted to erase.

He was angry. But within him, Ziko growled restlessly.

How dare him? Whoever it was that had dared to come close to her in such a manner would pay for it.

But, there was no way he could soften up now. Not when he was yet to feel the satisfaction of his vengeance.
