Chương 106: Cause of Her Death

Ophelia looked her husband in the eyes. She was met with a man who looked like him, but didn't love her as such. She was met with the man that held her tightly in bed, yet left in the morning. She realized she'd never be good enough for him.

"I see…" Ophelia murmured.

So this was how Killorn was going to punish her from now on. No beatings. No starvation. Just cruel suffering. That was fine. She was used to this since childhood. Matriarch Eves was harsher.

"Lead the way," Ophelia responded in a firm and woeful tone.

Her behavior caught him by surprise. Killorn's indignation momentarily washed away. His features became blank as a clean slate. There wasn't a single thought running through his mind. He expected her to beg and scream for mercy. He thought she'd finally obey if he did this.

Killorn narrowed his eyes. How long was she going to keep this up? He'd like to see the extent of her stubbornness.
