Chapter 30: Chapter 26

RAQUEL

"The greatest revenge is compassion," that's what some wise individual once said. A Saint in my opinion.

I'm not a Saint, neither do I aim to be one

Besides that act of mercy only applies to people whose soul can still be saved.

That's why I was here, in the same room where he tore me down. The same room I was reduced to nothing but an outline of my former self. These four walls used to taunt me, shun me to crumble to the floor.

Instead of crumbling to the floor, I meet his hard glare head on. Taking a seat across from him, his eyes never left my movements, calculating each twitch as if that will reveal my weakness. I had called him wanting to discuss something.

And I had no issue walking into his territory...

I fought the urge to punch the smirk he wore on his face, choosing to maintain whatever calm I had.

Time is precious, still I had no problem gambling with it and neither did he it seems as both of us had yet to say anything.
