Chapter 719: What is Wrong With You?

As Cai entered the room after a brief knock, he grimaced. "At least you had the sense to put it under cool water. How’s your thigh? Let me see the burn."

Without another word after that moved closer to inspect the wound while bringing out his first aid kit. He donned gloves and then applied the medicine while shaking his head and muttering," Its a good thing that I cooled it a bit before giving it to you. Or you would have burnt yourself. At least now, its only a little burn. It will trouble you for a few days and then it will be fine.

Dora, on the other hand, paid no attention to his muttering and watched him intently, her eyes lingering on the finger marks on his neck. "Did he hurt you?", she asked tentatively.

Cai looked up then and instead of answering her question, told her "Given that he almost became my uncle, I decided to let it slide and didn’t hurt him."

"I wasn’t asking about him. And what uncle! He never could be your..." Cai gave her a look that had her shutting up in the lie. She had been thinking long term with Kael.

"Well, you meant to ask. But right now, you are angry at him and therefore won’t ask about him. But you are also worried, so you are trying to get information about him."

Dora frowned and looked away. "I don’t care about him."

"Of course you don’t."

Dora glared at him and said, "You know I hate it when you’re sarcastic."

"Well, the situation demands sarcasm. Dora Sterling, you came out dressed like this just because you wanted to make him jealous that you were letting another man stay with you like this. And then you purposely let him think that you were inviting me into your bedroom. What was all that about if not to rebel against him and wishing to hurt him because he hirt you. If it had been my girlfriend appearing like that, I’d have gone all caveman on her, and you know it."

"Because you would have loved her, Cai. But Kael Ignis did what he did because of that stupid bet."

Cai shook his head and this time did not say anything. He’d seen at a glance what that idiotic man was feeling. Things might have started out on a bet but he’d fallen as much as Dora if not more. However, he did need to be taught a lesson. If today, Dora had really been humiliated, then things would have affected her differently. Not just personally but also the political repercussion would have been greater. Kael did not know that but even so, it was wrong and he needed to be punished for it.

As for Dora, she needed to decide when and if she wanted to forgive him. So, for now, he would be here to take care of her, while enjoying this unexpected vacation. With the ointment applied, he stood up and walked to the small cupboard by the side,"I am going to be going outside and sleeping."

Meanwhile Kael was pacing his hotel room like a caged animal as he waited for the result of the investigation into Caius Frost. Not for a minute had he been able to forget the way she had looked at that man. And it wasn’t enough that his brain kept supplying him that image. It had taken on even more imagination and suddenly every moment that he’d shared with Dora seeemd to have been taken over by her and him.

Even now, he was thinking of what they were probably doing in her bedroom. Who was that man, damn it!

Just then, he received an email and he quickly moved to check. He needed to find a way to get rid of this man from Dora’s life. And then he would make sure that he never returned.

However, his heart sank when he realized that things were not going to be as simple. Caius Frost was the heir apparent of the Frost empire. The oldest child. But that was not enough. No! That man was some kind of a genius in the medical field and was even now doing deep research in neurobiology.

He’d graduated early from this university, just when Dora had enrolled it seemed and left behing him stories of wild se* parties. But how did Dora know him? DId they meet during one of those wild parties? Was Dora one of his many lovers? But she seemed to hold that man in high regard.

But then he came across something that made him pause. He had been asked to recommend a student to take his place when he left the college. That student had been Dora... So he knew her before coming to this place. And she had followed him here. Dora had followed Cai...

The real shock came, however, when Kael saw series of images shared from Cai’s from social media. They were candid photos of him and Dora together, from different locations and different times and captions. It seeemed they spent almost every vacation together as well.

Each photo seemed to reinforce the closeness between them, making him feel green with jealousy! Why did she date him when she was already in a relationship with another man. Why pretend to have fallen for him when she was with that Cai?

The jealousy gave way to a sudden hatred. Kit was right. She really liked to toy with the feelings of men. She enjoyed having them admire her and then break their hearts. Unexpectedly, he too had fallen a victim to her viles.

He clenched his jaw, his fingers gripping the edge of his chair as he stared at the screen. The bitterness of betrayal settled over him. Forgotten were his own feelings of guilt, in that moment, with the pictures in his face, he only knew one thing. He needed to expose Dora’s real face in front of everyone. And he would do it!
