Alex.
I was a complete fool and an idiot.
The realization hit me harder with every passing second—I should have investigated everything from the very beginning when I had my suspicions.
I should have questioned the inconsistencies. I should have looked beyond the lies I had been fed but instead...I chose to believe everything at face value.
I had trusted the wrong person.
If only I had uncovered the truth years ago...Perhaps none of this would have happened.
Perhaps Ella would still be by my side.
Perhaps she would never have suffered because of my stupidity.
Perhaps...she would never have left me.
A bitter laugh escaped my lips.
What a fool I had been.
No. What an unforgivable fool.
Without another glance behind me, I walked away from the dungeon.
The heavy iron doors slowly disappeared behind me as my footsteps echoed through the corridor.
I never looked back as Eva deserved every bit of what awaited her.
