Lina's eyes widened. Out of all the questions, he could've asked, this was the one. She glanced at him, unable to control her expression. Neither could he. His mouth twisted into a pained smile.
"You do." Atlantis let out pained laughter, humorless and cruel.
Lina exhaled shakily. It wasn't a question. Atlantis knew it was the truth. It was why he said it.
In that exact moment, Lina had never pitied a man more. He knew. Those red strings attached to his pinky, he had seen it too. The memories of their past life had flashed across his eyes just as hers did.
"You knew," Lina whispered. "You knew what you did to me and you still pursued me."
Atlantis's expression softened.
"You… just where do you get all of this audacity from? You confessed despite knowing what you did to everyone," Lina breathed out. "How dare you?"
Lina's blood began to boil. The audacity of this man!
