“No. It’s not! Please believe me, Ren. I do not have any relationship with Prince Kin. There is nothing between us…I don’t feel anything for him. Please believe me!” I pleaded desperately. I felt like I was going to start crying again.
What can I say to make Ren believe me? What can I do to make him believe me?
“Come closer,” Ren said, as he beckoned me towards him with his hand.
Slowly, I approached him, not sure what he wanted me to do. Ren patted the spot next to him on the wooden sofa, telling me that he wanted me to sit beside him. I sat down next to him as he had indicated. Now that I was close to Ren, I felt like bursting into tears once again.
“Listen to what I’m about to say and listen well, Rin,” Ren said as he took my chin in between his fingers and made sure that I was looking straight into his eyes.
