DEMETHYS

Ican’t believe I’m standing here with the woman I thought left me forever and she’s telling me all kinds of lies like this! I can’t believe she can look in my fucking face and lie. How dare she! “You are a liar!” I tell her, tears streaming down my cheeks. “You fucking left me Harper!”

She stares at me, mouth agape. “I know I’m drunk but I’m not so gone that I can’t tell when someone is lying to me,” I tell her coldly.

“I’m not lying!” she yells, wrapping her arms around herself as she pulls back from me. “I really thought you were dead!”

“But you were with another man!” I yell back, emotions going haywire inside. “How long did you wait until I was in the cold ground? One day? Two?”

“Demethys!” she cries out, cheeks going red. Have I caught her in her lie?

“You left me for someone else, didn’t you?” I demand. “It’s your fault I’m like this. You destroyed me by leaving!”

I’m inconsolable. I couldn’t function after Harper left. I became a shell of myself. My zagfer servants tried to cheer me up but I wasn’t having it. Nothing helped to bring me back from the dark place I went to emotionally.

At one point I even considered jumping from the city bridge. Ivrir told me I needed to get myself together and that if I wanted to find her, I needed to look. So I did. I spent years asking around, trying to see if anyone knew where she went. Trying to find her. I looked high and low. I tracked her for years without success.

And now she’s just here, standing in front of me. Lying to my face. Trying to tell me she didn’t run off with another man when the proof is right in front of me.

“Demethys, please, calm down,” Harper begs, reaching out to try to grab me. I ignore her though, and stalk over to the opposite side of the room. I can’t be near her right now. I can’t even look at her. How am I supposed to trust anything she says when she’s lying to me?

Her child is all the proof I need. I hate the thought of her lying with another man, wrapped up in his arms, writhing in passion underneath him. She was mine! She was supposed to be mine!

The thought is sickening. I want to hurl. How could she betray me like that? Betray our love? I thought she cared. I opened my home to her and I gave her my heart.

I asked to court her so she could see I was serious. I didn’t want her to think that I saw her as an easy lay, a cheap slut who I could bed and then discard.

Tears fall onto my shirt as I mourn the relationship I never truly had. I cover my face, sitting down heavily into a leather armchair. “Why?” I ask, looking up at her. “Why did you do it?”

“Do what?” Harper asks, voice sharp. “What did I do?”

“I just want to know who it was,” I tell her.
