I was taken aback by Freya's dismissal.
Once more, I reached for the correspondence. What had sparked this renewed interest?
The beast within me growled fiercely, clawing at my consciousness like a feral animal. Had Freya discovered my secret? Was she aware of my unfaithful encounter with Lila?
"What's the method?" The question tumbled out as a strained whisper, my voice constricted with emotion.
My mind drifted back to that emotional evening when she had asked me, "Can you recall the promises we made when we joined our lives?" Her voice had quivered, and her eyes glistened with tears she was holding back. Without much thought, I had responded by repeating the familiar words: "I swear that between us, there will never be disloyalty, deceit, or a shift in affection."
Despite everything, I had still let her down.
