How dare you despise me?!

NALEDI’S POV

I felt like the devil’s incarnate.

As I looked at the mirror in my bathroom, Draken’s words poured into my mind repeatedly. Marcus had been honest with me. They had told me the truth.

I spot the faded mark on my neck. It was almost gone like it was never there to begin with. Just like every hope of having Caellum back was plunged into an abyss. Never to be heard of again.

A wry smile made its way to my face. My life was a lie. A rogue tear dripped down my face, rolling onto my neck. How had I been so blinded? I felt even more trashy when I realised that a sick part of me wanted it to be a lie.

A sick part of me still couldn’t believe that my dad had been that terrible of a person. That my dad had sold me and started this war that ravaged many because of his greediness.
