Amelia choked on her saliva. "They're all lies. Your words and actions were pretence and pretence. How could you?" her tears rolled down more quickly.
A muscle in Cullen's jaw thickened. He parted his lips to speak but stopped halfway when he had no idea what to say. He couldn't even trust himself. He clenched and unclenched his fist, desperate to hug her tight.
Amelia slammed her fist on his chest and landed a harsh slap on his cheek. "How do you lie without flinching?" Cullen's face turned to the other side as a result of the slap.
Amelia landed another slap on the other cheek and slammed her fist on his hard chest again.
Cullen gripped her neck without a second thought and slammed her back on the wall. "This is me. I'm a monster, Flame. Loving me would be a mistake," his eyes moisturized and a secret tear left them.
