Chapter One-Hundred and Seventeen: Better Act 

Thane’s POV

“To the whole world, I am sorry. I have been behind all of this, and I feel so stupid.”

Orion’s lips quiver as he makes his forced confession.

After sparing him for three days, his face healed greatly and the swelling reduced beyond words.

And for the first time since he came to my house, he had a proper shower, cleaning off the dried blood that stained his face. To get everything in place and less suspicious, he had a light makeup on.

Funny, but true.

We needed to conceal his battered face, and Lily helped with the makeup, being the only thing she was good at, aside from sulking.

I had to open up about Orion being in my house, and surprisingly, she didn't judge me.

In her words; ‘She would be shocked if I hadn't taken that step yet.’

Someone, she fuels my ego.

After spending hours going over the lines, we divided to give the video a shot.

“Go on.”

Lily urges, impatient.
