Chapter 87 Fighting For Us

• After dinner, I tucked Kelly into bed, kissed her goodnight, and went to my room. But even though I lay down, sleep eluded me. A part of me didn’t want to do the interview tomorrow. Fear gnawed at me, what if doing this would only make things worse? What if Ivan's fans only hated me more? Another part of me wanted to go through with it, to finally be free from the constant attacks and castigation that had been thrown my way since everything fell apart.
• I closed my eyes, hoping to drift off, but the unease was relentless. Fear crept up my sleeves like an unwelcome chill, the kind I hadn't felt before. What I was about to do would change everything, not just for me but for Mrs. Carlos too. The world needed to see the kind of person she truly was. She was the one who deserved the hatred, not me. She was the one pulling the strings, manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
• But no matter how much I tried to console myself, it still felt... wrong somehow. Not because she didn’t deserve it, but because once I crossed this line, there would be no going back. Exposing Mrs. Carlos would bring so many things to light, and I had no idea how Ivan would react. What if it made things worse for him? What if it deepened the rift between us beyond repair?
