I was completely caught off guard by Kane’s question. His eyes burned with rage, his entire demeanor radiating barely contained fury.

“What are you talking about?” I asked, my voice steady despite my confusion.

He took a step toward me, but I immediately pressed a hand against his chest, halting his advance.

“Don’t come any closer. You disgust me.”

His body went rigid, a low growl rumbling from his throat. “Disgusted? By what?”

“By you.”

I saw his jaw tighten, as if he was struggling to restrain his anger.

“What do you want, Kane? Why do you keep tormenting me? Didn’t we already talk on the phone? You said you hated me, and I accepted it. In fact, the feeling is mutual. Now, let me go.” I turned, ready to leave

But he didn’t like my response. His hand shot out, grabbing my wrist, yanking it away from his chest.

I immediately used my other hand to shove him, but he was faster–he caught that one too, pinning both my wrists above my head.

My breath hitched, my eyes widening at his sudden aggression. “What the hell are you doing?”

He leaned in, his face mere inches from mine, his gaze piercing. “Why? Why do you hate me so much? Wasn’t it supposed to be just me?”

I realized then–my hatred bruised his ego. He wanted to be the one who despised me, the one with all the control. If I hated him back, it meant I had power too. And Kane Thorne wasn’t the kind of man who allowed that. In his twisted mind, only he had the right to hurt, hate, or demean me. But if I dared to do the same? That was unacceptable.

“A man like you deserves nothing but my hatred,” I said coldly, regaining my composure. “If that wounds your pride, I couldn’t care less.”

I refused to give him the reaction he wanted. He wanted the weak Selene–the woman who once begged for his affection. But I wasn’t her anymore.

For a moment, he just stared at me, silent and unreadable. I had no idea why he had brought me here or what was running through his mind.

Then, suddenly, his black eyes shifted–softening in a way that unsettled me. Was it an illusion?
