The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 323

"I believe we aren't talking about the same man, Lilly, and if we are, then know that I do not care," I said, knowing that was the best way to shut her up.

"Tamia, please," She said, and Wilson took her into the room.

"String her up," I told Wilson, and he looked at me with fear in his eyes.

"Do you need me to repeat myself, Kappa!" I told the guy, and he shook his head. I guess the punch Theodore gave him on my account when they first brought me to the north had tamed him.

He moved quickly, and I watched him tie her hands up to the bar that was hanging from the ceiling.

"Put a stool under her feet to support her weight," I said with rage in my eyes, and Lilly cried.

"You didn't do this to Sofia. Just lock me up, please," She pleaded with me, and I laughed.

"Do you know what betrayal looks like?" I asked her, and she cried.

"I have repented and given them up. Why are you doing this? I admitted that what I did was wrong and changed my ways, only doing what you asked me to, please, Tamia. I am sorry for not going to the Arena. I am sorry that I have not gotten new information yet. I will try harder. I would do my best." She said without answering my question.

Just then, Linda and Avery walked in, and there was a nightmare in Lilly's eyes. She was scared of my friends but little did she know I was the one she should be afraid of this time. I was the one that would punish her.

Linda handed me a bottle of orange juice, and I took a sip.

"Did you come with water?" I asked, and Avery laughed, knowing exactly what I meant by 'water'.

"We did, even though you did not request it; we were able to create water for Lily on short notice," Avery said. Someone opened the door, bringing in two buckets of water.

"I think Lilly is thirsty," I said, and just like that, some water was poured on Lilly, and she screamed because it wasn't water. Silver dust was mixed in it. It was a special mix of Avery's. We used a lot of silver dust to fight in the east. As the person keeping the arsenal, Avery knew what we needed and always ensured it was available. We planned on dealing with the traitors eastern style.

"I will ask you a question, and if you answer well, I will wash off the silver. Am I clear?" I asked, and Lilly screamed yes.

I could see Wilson's shock.

"What does betrayal look like, Lily!" I asked her, angry and mad.

"I don't know, Luna, I swear I don't know," She said, crying and screaming. I accepted the answer.

"It looks like you," I said and nodded for them to wash the silver off so she could calm down.

Wison attached the hose to the faucet in the room and used the water to wash Lilly's body. The water was much that her feet were slippery, and she tried not to fall off the stool; she managed to balance herself with a lot of effort.

"I tried to do it the easy way. Lilly. I tried to redeem you. I tried to save your life. I told my mate you were misguided and we should give you a chance. I stuck my neck out for you. Everyone warned me not to trust you, but I said I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and that I was sure you would help me out. I was sure you would give me the information I need, but you disappointed me, Lilly, and proved me wrong," I said, and she shook her head.

"Now answer me this," I said.

"Did you or did you not tip Gezel off about your arrest and our deal?" I asked, and she shook her head.

"I think she is thirsty," I said, and Lilly began to scream out of fear.

"I did! I did! I told her everything. Please don't pour that water on me!" she said, wailing.

The burn of the first session was still on her skin because of the silver that was used to bind her. The longer it took to heal, the more likely she would develop scars when it healed.

"Why did you betray me, Lilly? You gave our enemies information and still had the effrontery to stay here; why?" I asked her as she looked at me.

"I wanted to be someone, and they promised me that. They said they had people on the council and they would elevate my status. I do not want to be a trophy anymore...." She said, and I shut her up.
