KESTER.
I hadn't slept. Not even for a second.
I almost lost it. But I didn't because it was Kasmine, after all. She's the one thing that keeps me tethered. My antidote.
If it were anyone else, I swear, I'd have taken their heads off by now. The maids would be scrubbing the blood off the marble floors already.
I had been lost in thoughts all the while she was sleeping on me. Her soft snores broke through the static in my mind, calming my racing heart.
It's always been this way for the past five years now. Her very existence is my calm.
She tames my demons, even without her knowing. Little wonder I kept taking her belongings and stacking them up in my room over the years.
But that f*****g slap... Her hurtful words...
It broke something in me.
I felt it snap the moment her palm met
