August's POV
Ellena looked confused by my actions, trying to divert her gaze several times. My mind, filled with many questions and suspicions, couldn't hold back any longer in seeking answers. I slightly pressured Ellena, urging her to tell me what had happened between her and John.
Although I could have found out with my abilities, I wanted to confirm it directly with Ellena. I could see the fear on her face; she looked like a child whose lie had been uncovered. It was funny and endearing, but I didn't appreciate the dishonesty here.
"Tell me the truth, Ellena." I insisted again, but she refused to look at me, sensing my impatience for an explanation.
