Chapter 126

“I… I’m a masochist. My pleasure comes from pain, so whenever we have sex, I tell him to do this to make me feel good.”

Silence fell over the room. Zeke stood frozen, so shocked that words escaped him. Millie’s face was filled with shame, but was it because she was lying—or because she was telling the truth?

Francis stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Millie his mocking gaze never leaving Zeke.

“Are you satisfied now? Feel good about yourself, making her confess something she’s ashamed of?” he sneered.

The grating sound of Francis’s voice snapped Zeke out of his shock, and he spat, “You’re a fucking liar! I saw those bruises myself. They weren’t playful bruises. Millie would never ask for something like that.”

Francis scoffed, his voice laced with contempt. “Apart from the fact that our bedroom business is none of yours, you didn’t hear it from me–you heard it from her. She’s into rough and kinky stuff when we’re intimate. Didn’t you see how hard it was for her to admit it? Why keep humiliating her?”

Zeke was still not convinced, turning to Millie with pleading eyes. “Millie, you don’t have to be scared to expose this bastard. I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to-”

“What do you want me to say, Zeke?” Millie cut him off, her frustration spilling into her voice. “Haven’t you done enough?”

“See?” Francis grinned smugly, pulling Millie closer and kissing her forehead, leaving a smear of blood where his lips had touched. “Look what you’ve done. You made my girl cry.”

He brought a hand up to Millie’s face, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. “Babe, I know how much your kinks embarrass you but I want to tell you again that it doesn’t matter to me. I love you all the same and will always do so. Don’t mind this idiot.”

Zeke clenched his fists, feeling conflicted. He wanted to believe he was right–that Millie was only trying to protect this creep. But if she was telling the truth, then it meant he had humiliated her in front of everyone, all for something that should have remained private.

He took a step closer. “Millie, I-”
