Chapter 46: The First Realization

Serene is pacing around the room, huffing and nearly scraping her hair out of her scalp from dragging it down too much.

She shoots me a glare as I open my mouth to speak and I clamp my lips together, refraining from making her even more miserable than she already is.

Since I revealed to her that Theron is my fated lover, she's been all but happy and almost pounced on me, not before realizing that I'm still ill.

I've been as quiet as a house furniture untouched and my face has been set in a firm and stoic expression since the grand reveal. Serene wants to hear nothing of it.

How could I have fallen for the man who has made my life nothing but miserable for the past few years? How could I ever think of falling in love with him not after all that he has put me through these past few months that I've been sold off to him?
