Chapter 151
- HAZEL -
According to Asami, I can’t show him any wounds. Not the ones on my shoulder, but for my hand, any lady can have a kitchen accident. Which is quite ironic considering I haven’t entered a kitchen and I can’t cook.
I roll my eyes, taking a deep breath. I might as well just lie that I survived being robbed and my ‘supposed’ attackers were violent. That’s a more believable story but why should I make things up to cover up for what she did?
Because she can literally end you without breaking a sweat? I answer myself in my head.
Asami’s manipulation is beyond comprehension. It’s almost like she’s done this before and this makes me wonder how Killian was able to break away from the relationship in the first place. Her psychotic behaviour certainly explains why he never completely got rid of her.
Or not.
Apparently, they’re work mates, that’s also something I need to consider. I sigh, putting on a jacket. The weather today is warm but the only decent way to conceal my shoulder without the risk of it being seen is a jacket.
My mind drifts back to Killian. I wonder if he’s aware of how insane his ex is. I swallow, sitting on Jasmine’s bed to put on my sneakers. My hand still hurts so I use one hand to fit my foot in my shoe while using the injured hand for support to knot the lace.
Killian should be here any second now and I don’t want to keep him waiting so here I am getting dressed just to lie on a bed and stare at the bottom part of the up bunk while revising what I’ve read in my head till my phone rings and he’s the caller.
