章 228: Chapter 228: Deimos

"Alright, I've agreed. Now, tell me about my past," he pressed, hoping Su Jiyai might offer a shred of the truth before he fulfilled his end of the bargain.

Su Jiyai's smile remained unfazed, her eyes glinting with amusement.

"Write the book first."

Jake stared at her, the weight of her demand sinking in.

"You really don't trust me enough to give me even a hint?"

Su Jiyai's response was swift and cutting,

"Would you trust a vampire who, just a few months ago, was hell-bent on killing you?"

Her question hit Jake like a punch.

He paused, the harsh truth of her words sinking in. She wasn't wrong. If the roles were reversed, would he trust her?

He didn't answer right away, instead letting the silence stretch between them as he considered her words.

Finally, he sighed, his voice quieter, more vulnerable than before.

"Do you think I still want to kill you?"

Su Jiyai's smile widened, but she didn't respond.
