Chapter 256
I rise from my seat, “No, what kind of stupid question is that?” I frown, starting to question his sanity. There can only be so much mental instability in one relationship, and I brought enough for both of us. “Where did you get that idea?”
He steps forward, “I’m giving you one last chance to-”
“No Kingston,” I snap, getting irritated now. “What’s the problem?”
He snarls, throwing the pictures at me. I want to ask him why the hell he is taking that tone with me, and throwing things at me, but when I glance down at the things he just threw in my face, my heart drops. Scattered on the floor are images of me at Damien’s club from the night Audrey allegedly tried to end her life. “How long?”
“No-no.” I stutter, shaking my head. “Where did you get this?”
“How long have you been cheating on me, Aeliana?”
“No, this is…” I gulp, my eyes falling to the floor again. I have the shittest luck, I didn’t think this would follow me, Damien assured me no one would breathe a word of that night to Kingston, but someone sent him pictures of me kissing two different men that night. “I didn’t cheat on you, it was a mistake. That was when you-”
“Two different men?” He says, his tone laced with absolute disappointment. “You kissed two men, you let two different men touch you, and you kept it from me?”
I shake my head, reaching for his arm. “I can explain, King.”
“Don’t touch me.” He snaps, pulling his arm away. “How could you do this to me? You kept suspecting me of cheating on you with Audrey when I gave you no reason to, and all along you were the one who was seeing other men behind my back?” He asks, his face twisting with disdain. “What the hell, Aeliana?”
Tears sting in the corner of my eyes.
He’s livid, for every step I take towards him he takes one back, I feel sick, I messed up. “It was an accident, I didn’t mean to do it.” I gulp.
“You kissed two men in public, for everyone to see,” he repeats. “That wasn’t an accident, look at that shit!” She snarls, pointing at the floor. “You are kissing them, you are willingly letting another man touch what belongs to me. What is going on with you?”
“It was just that night, I promise. There’s-”
“What’s next? Should I start expecting flash drives with videos of you fucking those men too?”
I blink, tears rolling down my cheeks.
I feel like I’ve been whacked with a sledgehammer across the chest. No, that would hurt less, his words hit deeper, they’re like a blade slicing open old wounds.
“How will I stomach that?” He snaps, “You’re a Luna for fucks sake, you can’t be sleeping around like you used
“No!” I scream, sobbing now. “That’s not fair, Kingston. You promised we’d never talk about it so why now? Why are you using that against me?” I choke out. “How could you think I’m capable of doing that?”
“What else am I supposed to think?” he glares, his chest heaving. “And you had my brother lie for you? I’m going to break his nose.” .

“He didn’t know,” I blurt out, shaking my head. I’m not taking Damien down with me when all he did was help and set me straight that night. “I was trying to get back at you for kissing Audrey, I was… I wasn’t thinking,” I stutter, blinking back the tears. “I was hurt, and I wanted to hurt you as well.”
“Congratulations then,” he laughs. “You’ve done it. I’m hurt, I’m so fucking hurt I can’t look at you again.” He sneers, walking away from me.
I don’t let him, I grab his arm with both my hands, my heart racing. I can’t lose him, I don’t want to lose him, I can’t stomach the face that he hates me right now. “Please don’t do this,” I beg. “I’m sorry Kingston. I love you.” I blurt out, the words making their way out of my mouth in a panic.
He freezes, staring at me with wide eyes. “You love me?” He scoffs, something broken flickering in his eyes. Now? I’ve waited so long to hear those words again, and you finally say them to me now when I’ve caught you cheating?” He hisses, prying my fingers off his arm. “No, you don’t get to do this, you don’t get to cry, and beg me when you broke us, Aeliana. You fucked up!”
I did.
I really did. And I wish he could tell me how to fix things right now, but he won’t even look at me without flinching. Rowan steps into the room and looks between us, “What is going on here?” He asks, looking back to see his wife who looks equally stunned by what she sees.
“She cheated on me.”
“I didn’t!” I cry out. I don’t know what I did, but I would never cheat on him, that’s a stupid mistake, and it’s costing me the man I love right now.
“What do you call sticking your tongue down another man’s throat?” He grits through his teeth, his voice rough in a way he would never talk to me even if I upset him. It makes the alarms in my head start buzzing. “You should’ve stabbed me instead, that much I can take. That much I can look past but this?”
Rowan stares at me in disbelief, “What did you say?”
