I suddenly have this eerie feeling of being frozen at the moment out of shock. This accusation they have been pointing at me is not even true. I can not steal anything from Matteo.
And as the conversation still proceeds, I can already feel my hands shaking and my knees trembling. It isn’t because I am guilty, but rather, I feel like part of me is slowly becoming smaller with humiliation.
With such an accusation as that, I know I am already bringing shame for Matteo and his pack. Just when I believe things will be different now that I am going to be engaged with Matteo, apparently, it looks to me like I'll be the center of a joke once more after this.
Much worse is that I’ll also drag Matteo into this even though it isn’t even true.
“What nonsense are you talking about?! I will have your head fed with the dogs for telling that against my mate!” Matteo eventually utters out of anger. “How can you be so sure?”
