Chapter 231: A Sick Plan
[TW: Attempted SA]
Amelia’s body remembered Caleb’s touch. After all, that was a sensation that had been seared into her code out of love for many years. However, what was once a comforting feeling had grown mold over the months of bad blood between them, and now, it left nothing but hair-raising disgust all over her nerves.
"You’re insane!" She stared at him with hatred, her anger growing from the way he smirked so brazenly.
Once upon a time, Amelia had fallen in love with that same smile. Caleb was irrefutably a handsome man, and he had used his good looks to charm his way through many occasions. His smile was but one of the many things she had loved him for, but now, it was a new addition to the many things Amelia loathed him for.
There was a fine line between love and hate, but this time, Caleb had gone so far to the other end that he was no longer redeemable.
"What will this accomplish?" Amelia asked, looking around the room to make her point. "What’s the point in making this place look like our old apartment? Just because you’ve made a copy doesn’t mean time can turn back!"
"Oh, no no no. You’ve mistaken me, Amelia," Caleb said, shaking his head. "I understand that we humans must always look ahead. What’s past is past, and no amount of praying will turn back the clock to the way it once was."
"Then wake up from your delusions," Amelia seethed. "Let me go, and while I am still feeling gracious, I won’t go to the cops."
That was a lie. If Caleb did let her go — and she doubted he would — she would be headed to the station first thing right after.
