Menu Selene pressed her fingers against her forehead as she strode toward the door.
âI canât stay here any longer. My ears canât handle your nonsense. All I feel is disgustâyour touch, your kiss, everything about you makes me sick!â
Her words struck Kane like arrows straight to the chest. His jaw tightened as he clenched his fists, but instead of arguing, he stepped forward, reaching the door before she could.
2 She hesitated when he pulled the door open, his gaze locked onto her. His voice was calm, almost distant.
âYou can sleep here in peace. I wonât bother you again.â
With that, he turned away, stepping past the threshold. But just as he was about to leave, something made him pause. He looked back at her one last time.
Selene stood there, arms crossed, her expression unreadable.
âIf my kiss offended you, I apologize,â he said quietly.
She let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head.
âWhen are you going to stop with this act? A man who truly loves someone knows how to control himself. But you? Youâll never understand that Do vou know whi Douse you never loved me.
Youâve convinced yourself that Chapter Unlocked, Enjoy Reading! saved you. First Ruby, now me. Patience is a virtue, Kane.
Maybe you should practice it with someone elseâsomeone you actually love.â
Kane inhaled deeply, nodding slightly at her words. He swallowed hard before responding.
âI swear, Iâll never touch you again without your consent.â
Selene wiped her lips with the back of her hand, her voice dripping with disdain.
âThat kiss was revolting. Do it again, and itâll be the last thing you ever do.â
With that, she slammed the door in his face, shutting him out completely.
Kane exhaled slowly, turning around to lean against the closed door. He didnât let her see how much her words affected him, but the moment she was gone, the pain surfaced on his face. It wasnât his pride that was woundedâit was his heart, burning from the way she recoiled at his touch, the way she loathed his kiss.
âWhat do I have to do to make you see how much I regret not loving you back when I had the chance? How can I make you love me again?â he whispered under his breath.
Despite her cutting words, despite her coldness, he didnât lose patience. He knew he had been wrong- kissing her like that had been a mistake. He cursed himself for acting impulsively, for crossing a line.
And then it hit himâthis was exactly how she had felt all those years ago when he had treated her so cruelly. The realization settled in his chest like a heavy weight. He let out a slow, defeated sigh.
Stepping onto the balcony, he gripped the railing and gazed up at the night sky. The full moon, once bright and clear, was slowly disappearing behind a veil of clouds.
