I clutched my burning cheek, fury surging through me as I lunged at him. But before I could get my hands on him, two of his soldiers restrained me once more.
Nico was provoked by my reaction, his expression dropping to an icy sneer.
"Rosalia, don't act all innocent. Do you really think you could've achieved those glorious accomplishments without spreading your legs? And don't even try to tell me you did it for me. That's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard."
I lifted my gaze to meet his, disappointment washing over me like a tidal wave.
"Nico, do you really have to humiliate me like this?"
He chuckled, slow and mocking. "Humiliate you? Do you think you even deserve that much?"
Faced with his cruelty and baseless accusations, a lump of frustration and rage formed in my chest.
"Fine. Since you refuse to listen to reason, let's have the Feds settle this. We'll see who's really indecent here. You, with your slander, or me, with my so-called sins."
