Irene fixed her gaze on Yonas. They both knew the answer, but she still wanted to hear it from him out loud.

Yonas froze, as this undoubtedly struck his weak spot. Indeed, he was afraid of Yasmine knowing everything that had happened. His fist clenched tightly, then he relaxed significantly "If staying in the cage means no peace, I'll personally break open
