Chapter 172: You Are Perfect The Way You Are
Lyse stared at the television then her gaze swung to Levi, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and disbelief. "You... you made her do that?" she stammered, her voice barely a whisper. "You forced her to confess?"
Levi shook his head, his expression grim. "No, Lyse. I did not really force her. I gave her two choices, she went along with this one."
"But how?" Lyse asked, "why now?"
"Because i just found her." Levi said as he put his hands in his pockets.
Lyse frowned, confused. "Found her? What do you mean?"
Levi took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the television screen. "She had been hiding. In a secluded villa, outside the city. I... I had been looking for her but I couldn’t find her."
Lyse felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. "You were looking for her? All this time?"
Levi nodded, his voice hoarse. "I knew that she was lying about what happened that evening, but you didnt. I knew she was capable of anything. I had to find her, so that she could tell you herself that I never touched her."
Lyse felt a strange mixture of emotions – anger, fear, and a flicker of something else, something she couldn’t quite name. "Why didn’t you tell me?" she demanded, her voice trembling. "Why did you keep me in the dark?"
