Denial

"If I didn't know women like you, I would have thought you were telling the truth. But don't worry. This grave you dug by yourself, you must enter it." 

"Brother Rex, I'm innocent. Mav raped me, just like the last time!" She raised her voice before pouting, looking aggrieved. Her lips shook as she tried to suppress her wail. 

Rex froze. She regained her memory? Vera used to call him Brother Rex and Maverick, Mav those days. The first time Maverick had his way with her, it wasn't clear what happened but Vera claimed to have been raped. Ever since, Rex had hated her with passion. Now she's repeating it again. "What do you mean my brother raped you the last time? If you dare sully my brother's integrity one more time, I'll chop you into pieces before he wakes you. You are mad!" 

"I– I'm sorry, I was desperate to prove my innocence." She lowered her head and started to drag the cover to her chest.
