Cane's POV
I watched as she walked away, banging the door behind her. I stood there, rooted to the pot, my eyes still on where she stood. Her words kept echoing in my head.
You know exactly what I'm saying.
The thought that she would think this of me hurt me more than anything ever did in years. She thought I would poison her? The mother of my child? The one person in this godforsaken world I was starting to…
I could feel my heart racing, anger was boiling up inside of me. I wasn't just angry at what she thought. I was angry at the Dario. I was angry at my past. I was angry at the fact that she could look at me and see a monster.
I couldn't just leave it like this. I left the kitchen and went to the living room but she was not there. I listened for a while and heard her footsteps up the stairs. She must be heading to her room. I rushed up, taking two stairs at a time while struggling to keep in control of my emotions.
