Chapter 64
As I stood there, silent and dumbfounded, I could feel Ma’am Elena’s eyes on me, filled with curiosity.
"Kimberly, I asked you a question. I need an answer," she said firmly, her gaze intensifying as she stared straight into my eyes.
I swallowed hard, lifting my face to meet her look. "Ma’am, I don’t know what answer you’re expecting. I don’t feel anything about seeing the Alpha yesterday," I said, trying to keep my expression neutral.
Ma’am Elena let out a small sigh, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Lying to me won’t do you any good, Kimberly. It’ll only hurt you in the long run. Be honest. Now, tell me the truth."
She stepped closer, her eyes boring into mine as she waited for my response. There was a faint grin on her face, but I knew she wasn’t joking.
"Alright, I’ll tell you," I said, my voice shaking as I spoke. "I felt rage. Despair. Seeing them together... It reminded me that someone I trusted like a sister went behind my back and took everything from me. Now I’m stuck here, serving like a slave, while they enjoy what was meant for me." My voice cracked, and I felt the hot sting of tears running down my cheeks. "I feel pain every single day, and I don’t think I can ever heal from this."
Ma’am Elena stayed silent for a moment, watching me closely. Then she took a deep breath before asking, "What do you plan to do about it, Kimberly?"
I hesitated, wiping my face with the back of my hand. "There’s nothing I can do, ma’am. I sleep to escape the pain, but when I wake up, it’s still there. This... all of this... it’s my reality now. I don’t think it’ll ever change."
Her expression softened, and she tilted her head slightly. "Have you ever thought about freedom? If you were granted the chance to leave here, what would you do with it?"
