Chapter 134

“I just came here to teach a jerk a lesson.” Inez looked at the light pink color on her palms and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She should have thought a little more before joining Nyx and her suicidal mission. Now that she was thinking everything through, she realised that if they got caught, Killian would skin them alive.
However, a second later, she shook her head. It would be if Killian found out that it was her and Nyx. However, when she thought about the possible reaction Killian might have if he ever got a whiff of this. Pissed off was going to be a milder reaction.
“You are?” Jules’s eyes widened, and then she nodded as if she understood her situation all too well. “I understand. I came here with a jerk as well; oh, how I wish I could kick him in the face.” As she spoke, her eyes turned red again, and she started sobbing again.
When Inez saw that the woman had started crying again, she felt a bit helpless. She wondered what happened to this woman who kept crying at the smallest thing. However, she had long since learnt her lesson not to meddle in the matters of otters. Thus, she was about to head out of the loo when she heard the woman say in an aggrieved voice, “What have I done to deserve this? I am also someone’s precious daughter. I also have feelings. Why do people keep treating me like this?”
As she spoke, the woman turned left as if she were pulling something out of her purse, but then Jules remembered that she had left her purse at the table. Her face scrunched up, and she choked on her sobs.
“Here,” Inez couldn’t see the woman cry. She handed her a tissue that she had taken out from the box in the restroom and said to her, “There are a lot more in the box on the counter.” She paused and realised that she might have been a bit rude. She said, “Don’t let it get to you, alright? There are people with lives worse than yours.”
Was she not in a situation worse than this woman’s?
Inez couldn’t understand if it was worth crying over a man like this.
However, when she recalled her own foolish actions, she understood the woman a little more. Forget it; every woman acts like a fool once in a while in her life.
The young woman looked hesitant when she saw Inez handing her a bunch of tissues. However, Jules still took it, as she was worried that she would be seen with snot running down her nose.
“Thank you,” she said to Inez as she wiped her nose and sniffed. “I will pay you back for this favour.” She was raised with good manners, and Jules would never take advantage of anyone. If someone helped her, she would help them.
“There is no need,” Inez said with a shake of her head.
Jules, who had only faced mockery at the hands of her friends and lovers, was touched by Inez’s actions. Everyone only knew how to insult her for being naive and dumb. For just being a good time. This was her first time; someone had cared for her without any selfish interests. The most update n0vels are published on
However, she was used to looking down at other shifters because her father often told her that she was better than the rest. Thus, she blurted out, “I insist. I don’t like to owe anyone.”
“Thank you for being so kind,” Inez was startled by the insistence of the woman, but when she saw how awkward the woman looked, she smiled and said to her, “I just gave you some tissues. Anyone would have done that.” After she finished speaking, she flashed another smile at the woman and then walked out of the loo.
It was only when Inez left that Jules lowered her head and looked at the paper tissues and remembered the things that her so-called friends had done to her. She sniffed and said, “Not everyone, Miss. Not everyone.”
Inez had no idea what the woman was thinking about; currently, she was walking to a corner where Nyx and Selene were waiting for her. As Inez walked, she noticed the distinct dark silver hair, and a flash of thrill and fear ran up her spine.
She wondered if Killian would skin a layer of her skin once he found out that she was behind the prank that was going to happen with him in a few seconds. But, hey, he was the one who did something wrong in the first place. Who asked him to kiss her when he was looking for another woman as his Luna?
Someone needed to teach that bastard a lesson, and what was she if not a Good Samaritan?
The three of them had done a really good job of bribing the staff of the restaurant for the mess that they were going to make. Now, all they needed to do was stay low and hit the button before all hell broke loose.
’You are going to be fine, Inez.’
’You are just doing what you should do.’
’Never will you become a man’s toy once again.’
She told herself the same words again and again.
This was how she had gotten past all the sufferings that she had gone through in the Venus pack, by telling herself that she was going to be alright, and Inez believed that if she could walk through that hell, she could do just about anything.
As Inez came to stand next to Nyx who smiled and winked at her, Inez knew that phase one was done. Though Inez knew that it was time for the second phase, her heart suddenly felt a bit stifled. Not out of worry but excitement and fear.
She wondered how Killian would react once she was done with him.
Together with Nyx and Selene, she made her way to the back door before turning around and looking at Killian, who was slowly getting to his feet. Her fingers were clammy and sweaty with sweat but when they pressed the trigger, they were rather firm.
