Chapter 293: Answer me

Elle felt like her heart was on the brink of shattering into pieces. She desperately refused to believe everything that Zeres had said. 

But as much as she tried to convince herself otherwise, a doubt so strong lingered in the back of her mind.

Her feet unconsciously took a step back. A strong denial hit her like a tonne of bricks. Part of her was screaming internally to ask, to demand for the truth. But that fear she felt, had her chickening out. Would she be able to bear the consequences if all that she had heard was indeed the truth? 

"I… Iza?" Sebastian's voice suddenly echoed out. He sounded distraught. The rage that was emanating from him was now replaced with panic as he looked around.
