Chapter 13 Reconciliation

My heart turned cold as ice.

I hadn't expected that, even after a year together, he still harbored such doubts.

"Edwin, have you been suspecting me all this time? Are you trying to get back at me?"

"Don't read too much into it. But it's true that you didn't bleed on our first night together, and neither do you have any evidence to prove your virginity. As for me, even if I did kiss her, I wouldn't have lost anything."

I cried and shouted, hitting him hard. "Edwin, you're inhuman. I've given you everything, and yet you accuse me like this. I've never even touched a boy before. How could you do this to me..."

As I spoke, I began to sob uncontrollably.

Back then, I was as naive as a fool. All I wanted was to prove my innocence to him, but I had forgotten the underlying reason behind it all – his infidelity.

That night, I cried for hours. Edwin smoked three cigarettes in front of me. And then, without saying a word, he pinned me down on the bed again.

This time, I didn't struggle.
