stakes of deception

"It was just a game for you?" I asked, my voice trembling, the words barely escaping my lips.

"Yes, it was," he replied coldly, without a hint of remorse.

"How can you do this to me?" My voice cracked, but I didn't care anymore.

He shrugged, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. "Well, I can do whatever I want, cupcake."

"Don't call me that," I snapped, anger flaring through the cracks of my heartbreak.

"I will. You'll always be a cupcake to me," he said casually, as if none of this mattered to him.

I blocked out his words, focusing only on what I needed to know. The truth. Was it just me? Was I the only one who felt anything real?

"You never loved me?" I asked, forcing myself to meet his gaze. My heart pounded as I awaited his response, hoping for even the smallest sign that I hadn't been a fool.

He hesitated for the briefest moment, his expression unreadable. Then his reply came, sharp and final: "Never."

That one word cut through me like a blade, shattering my heart into a million irreparable pieces. It was just one word, but it was enough to destroy everything I thought we had.
