Chapter 32 - hold on
32
~Lisa’s POV
Ramon stepped forward, his tone cold and dismissive. "Go back to your post, Lisa. Now."
Damon added, "We’ll decide what to do with your little lover later."
I felt my throat tighten. "Please...he’s not..."
Kael’s glare cut me off like a blade. "I said go."
I stood there for a moment, stunned, helpless. My mouth opened again, but nothing came out. They weren’t going to let me speak. They didn’t want the truth, they already believed what they wanted to believe.
I looked at each of them, desperation clawing at my chest. They didn’t know Milo. He didn’t deserve this. He was kind. He treated me like a human being. And now because of a that, he might die.
But they didn’t care. None of them did.
I swallowed hard, forcing myself to bow my head even as the shame and panic burned through me. "Yes, sir," I whispered, and turned to leave.
My legs felt like they were made of stone as I walked out of the room. I held it together until I reached the hallway, and then the tears came, hot and silent, running down my cheeks as I stumbled through the corridors like I didn’t recognize where I was.
I couldn’t just sit back and let them kill him. I wouldn’t.
