APOLLO was sending messages to Zero’s social media account when suddenly, Isla softly whimpered.
Isla opened her eyes and her forehead creased as she wondered where she was. She moved her head, and her gaze darted to Apollo.
“Hey,” Apollo greeted as he moved closer to her, “—how are you feeling?”
She tried to get up, but she could feel that her body was weak. “W-Why am I here?” she asked.
Apollo sighed and sat down on the chair. “Aren’t you feeling unwell the past few days? Are you having a hard time at school?”
“What did the doctor say?”
“It’s because of stress—”
“Yeah, staying up late at night because of my activities is the reason,” she uttered and sighed. “Can I go home now?” she added.
Apollo shook his head. “No. It’s not,” he said, which made Isla turn her gaze on him.
“W-What do you mean?” she asked.
Apollo looked intently at her. “I want to ask you a question. Please, answer it honestly, okay?”
Suddenly, Isla started to feel jitters. It seems like Apollo found out something.
“I will not get mad at you. I just want you to answer me, honestly,” Apollo cleared.
Isla then nodded as she pulled the white blanket above her chest.
“Did you have sex with Zero?”
The moment Isla heard about it, her eyes widened, her heart thumped fast, and her mind was sent haywire. She doesn’t know, but the fear lingers on her as her hands start to tremble.
“Princess…” Apollo called, but still, she did not react, “—I will not get mad at you. I just want to know the truth, to tell the truth…” he asserted.
Isla frowned because of the sudden confusion because of Apollo’s words. “W-What truth do I need to know—” she didn’t finish talking when her brother cut her off.
“Answer my question first, Princess. Did you have sex with Zero?” he asked once again. Even if Isla won’t answer it, Apollo already knows the truth. However, he just wants to hear it from his sister.
‘Damn it,’ he cursed inside him when he saw how tears poured down his sister’s cheeks. He sighed. “Princess… I will not get mad at—” he paused when he saw Isla nod.
“Y-Yes. I did,” she replied and lifted her head to meet Apollo’s gaze, “—I am so s-sorry—” she choked.
Apollo grabbed her right hand and tapped it. he flashed a smile at her. “It’s okay. With Zero, of course, he won’t control himself, and he dared to seduce—”
