Chapter 131

Zenovia

I stared at Callahan in shock, my ears ringing.

“What?”

“You should see your face. Your expression is priceless.” Callahan chuckled, but I found nothing funny about the way he casually dropped the bomb upon me.

Callahan let his back rest on the chair and looked at the ceiling. “What would I get by feeding you with lies?”
