You’re lying” Callino said seriously, glaring at him again. “You’re definitely lying to me, Gideon. Since I woke up. I’ve noticed how much you’ve changed. You’re lying because Lorraine could never cheat on me?
Gideon flinched, shocked by Callisto’s words, but quickly replaced his shock with irritation. His jaw clenched at what he heard. “Oh yeah? If she couldn’t cheat on you, then your marriage wouldn’t have fallen apart, and you wouldn’t have been losing your mind back then! Damn it, I was the one there, watching you get drunk to the point where you could barely stand! I was the one making sure you didn’t get arrested every time you got into fightçat bars because of your drunkenness! Don’t you know how many business partnerships you ruined and how your father had to clean up your messes! And now you have the audacity to doubt me after everything I’ve been through for you? Sure! Go ahead and believe only Lorraine until you lose your mind again!
Callisto remained unfazed. “I know Lorraine more than anyone else in the world! She couldn’t have cheated on me, and you know why!! She fucking loved mell You have no idea how we were inseparable! She never paid attention to any other man! And I should’ve known that? If she was attracted to or seduced by another man. I should’ve talked to her and made her stop it! I’m not the type to cheat on her in revenge!!*
“What part of it already happened‘ do you not understand, Callista?” Gideon said, trying to keep his anger in check. “You can’t go back and change the past. There’s nothing you can do about what’s already happeneill Get that into your head.”
Gideon was frustrated that Callisto was doubting him after he had given his loyalty his entire life. He was only thirteen when his father died due to police brutality. His father, who was black, was accused of theft and killed while his white mother eventually married another man, abandoning him with his aunt, who worked as a maid in the Avellino mansion.
He then helped with his aunt’s work and was bullied by Callisto’s spoiled brat half–sister, Penelope. That bullying stopped only when Callisto defended him, and eventually, they became good friends. He had witnessed Callister’s life from a young age and realized that despite growing up with a golden spoon, Callisto’s life was still cruel because he was secretly an illegitimate child.
