Chapter 154 Dirty Dinner

• As Brandon stood under the hot spray of water, letting it wash over his gaunt, malnourished body, all he could think about was Ethan. The man who had once held his trust so completely, who he thought was the one betrayed him. Worse of all, he kept questioning himself if Ethan was behind the explosion.
• The thought was dirty to accept, twisting his stomach into painful knots. The very reason Ethan had confined him in the house now seemed to carry darker undertones. Maybe Ethan wanted him gone—along with their secret.
• Maybe Ethan thought that if Brandon disappeared, buried under the ashes of that house, no one would ever know the truth. Their love would die in silence, forgotten by the world. Ethan had betrayed him before but going to this extent? The doubt plagued Brandon day and night.
