Chapter 288: Body on Fire.

Ethan

“He decided to quit, just like that… that, that made me angry. Not controlling my emotions, it caused everything….

Clara’s crying breaks something inside me. I have her sitting on my lap, clinging to my shirt as if

she’s trying to hold on to something, and yet… she’s still trying to justify whatever happened with

him.

“It was my fault too…” she says through tears. “I was so upset…”

I frown immediately.

“What?”

She quickly wipes her face, flustered.

“I… I said horrible things to him, Ethan. I was so angry because he wanted to leave like that, without facing anything. I felt it was unfair that he just disappeared without taking responsibility for what

he did and…”

I watch her silently. Each word makes my jaw clench tighter.

“And we argued,” she continues. “We both started yelling at each other. He said things… I said things too… and I couldn’t control myself.”

Her voice cracks again.

“I slapped him.”

My eyes snap open, and I stare at her.

“What?”

She barely nods.

“I lost control…”

But I’m not thinking about that anymore; there’s only one question pounding in my head. Just one.

“Did he hit you?”

Clara is silent. And that silence immediately unsettles me.

“Clara.”

She lowers her gaze.
