Chapter 11 Pain In The Dungeon

• Lucian's coldness still hurt, the force with which he had thrown me into this hole, as if I were nothing more than a mere object. But it wasn't just Rein's actions that haunted me – it was the man behind those actions, the man who had once held a special place in my heart.
• I couldn't help but let my thoughts wander back to our first meeting, to the intense romance that had blossomed between us despite the odds. How naive I had been, believing in the power of love to conquer all obstacles. The memories of his warm smiles, his gentle touch, they were now like faded photographs in the recesses of my mind.
• But then reality crashed back over me – the Lucian I knew was gone, replaced by a stranger whose cruelty cut deeper than any knife. How could he have set me up, brought me back here to this painful place? The wounds he had inflicted on me were more than just physical – they were emotional scars that still bled fresh with every reminder of his betrayal.
