Say It Isn't So

Although I couldn’t see him, I could imagine Kyle squirming and suffering endlessly through that. While I wouldn’t call myself a sadist, it did amuse me to see him suffer. Unfortunately for him, there seemed to be a very dark spot in my heart, and I must have been a mean person. I could have easily told him something to reassure him, but I didn’t feel the slightest urge to say anything that would ease his pain or worries.

“I don’t know anything. Maybe, just like you, I’m just Ace’s plaything. So, he doesn’t tell me much. If you want to know anything, you should just ask your wife...or you can simply just watch the news,” I replied lightly.

“Rina…” he growled, and I could feel his anger.

A part of me wished that I could see his face at that moment. Even though I knew that I had nothing to gain from his apparent suffering apart from my own satisfaction, I still couldn’t find it in me to help him.

“My name is Karina,” I replied coldly.
