Chapter 148: Trailing hot kisses
"You should kill me," Zilia said, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes. "But I cannot speak of my master. I swore an oath."
Casaio’s expression darkened. Rage surged through him like wildfire. "You think I’ll show you mercy because of what we once shared?" he hissed, his eyes flashing a dangerous crimson red. He seized her throat with one hand, tightening his grip until her breath hitched.
Zilia didn’t resist. Her body remained still, eyes fluttering as her windpipe was completely crushed beneath his grasp. She looked as though she had surrendered to her fate.
"I found the pictures. The envelopes. Hidden in your home." Casaio leaned in, whispering against her ear as his fingers slowly released her throat. "You are a spy of the Blood Dominion Pack. And that man in the photographs, the one you played your little love games with, I’ll find him. I’ll make you watch as I tear him apart."
"No!" Zilia gasped, shaking her head desperately as the tears finally fell, streaming down her cheeks. "Please... I beg you, don’t do that."
"I will," Casaio said coldly. "I gave you a chance to speak the truth. You spat on it." His eyes searched hers, as if wondering why he trusted her so much. "What was it that blinded me so completely? What made me trust you so deeply that I failed to see the betrayal growing right beside me... against my family, my kingdom?"
Zilia simply stared at him. "Just kill me," she pleaded and lowered her gaze. "I won’t open my mouth, Casaio. I am of no use to you," she stated.
"You will die after I find the man I mentioned earlier. Brace yourself for what is about to come next," Casaio said and shoved her back.
Zilia didn’t have much strength left in her body, and she stumbled to fell on the floor.
