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.
“Are you really sharing the truth with me? Selene…the Moon Goddess. She cursed you?”
Callahan let his back rest on the chair and looked at the ceiling. “What would I get by feeding you with lies?”
He countered. I had opened my mouth to say something, but I closed it abruptly.
His reality was even absurder than some of the crazy theories I had heard about his curse. Some said he was cursed by a witch for some fallacy while others said that he killed his loved ones so fate worked against him.
But nothing I had heard so far came even remotely close to the reality he was sharing with me.
“How old are you, exactly?” I asked, my foot tapping restlessly on the floor and a slow grin appeared on his face.
“Of all the questions I thought you would ask me, this did not make the list.”
I frowned, folding my hands over my chest. I was not sure if I was ready to ask him the other questions. My mind was still reeling from the information dump.
