Chapter 165: _No One Will Believe Me
The cold hit me first when I stumbled into the cell. Then the pain.
Kaelos flung me into the cell so hard that my knees scraped against the uneven ground, and I barely had time to catch myself before the cell door slammed shut behind me.
The echoing clang tore through the silence like thunder, sealing me in.
"Kaelos," I gasped with a cracked voice, spinning my head around.
He stood just outside the bars, his silver eyes unreadable in the dim torchlights that draped an ominous light. The guards behind him kept their heads low, almost as if afraid to look at either of us.
"Please... I didn’t kiss him," I said with a whisper, my fingers curling around the cold bars. "I didn’t cheat on you. I don’t know how that video even happened."
However, he didn’t flinch. He didn’t even blink. He just stood there silently, his eyes scrutinizing me for what felt like an eternity.
I was forced to lower my head, overwhelmed with embarrassment and his emotions again. Until...
"That’s not the main issue here, Odessa." He said at last.
My breath hitched as I raised my head and met his gaze again. But I didn’t find the mercy I was hoping to see in his eyes.
Then his next words came, cutting at me like a blade.
