Chapter 185 - 185: kill myself
Back inside the room, Avey sat in silence, the weight of Lucian's words crashing over her like a relentless tide. Her tears flowed freely, unchecked, her body trembling as if the very core of her being had shattered.
Did he really say that?
Her wide, unblinking eyes stared at the ceiling, her thoughts circling endlessly around the words that had cut through her like a knife.
"Yes, I hate you…for what you've done to me."
Her lips quivered, mouthing the words silently to herself as if trying to make sense of them. Her breath hitched, her chest heaving as the phrase echoed over and over in her mind.

Her voice cracked with emotion, her tears streaming faster. "Even if it meant ruining myself in front of everyone. Even if it meant saying… something like that. Can't he see? Can't he understand?"
Her words became a desperate plea to the empty room"I just wanted to protect what's left of us. To make him see that my feelings aren't a lie." She swallowed hard, her gaze falling to her trembling hands."But instead… he thinks I betrayed him."
Her shoulders slumped against the wall, her body folding in on itself as if the weight of her anguish was too much to bear. Her voice cracked as she whispered to herself, "He doesn't trust me. Not even a little."
The realization tore through her, leaving her hollow. She tilted her head back, her eyes
