CHAPTER 24

• I stiffened at his words, my heart beating so fast as the room turned quiet, his eyes watching me closely. Did he see us?? My mind wanders to what could happen if Derick finds out that I spent these two days with his brother, a war between them could start, I know Derick too well to let it slide if he finds out the truth, No…. No, he cannot know what happened, it'll break him.
• “Derick, what are you talking about? Uh, of course, there is no one else.” I tell him, avoiding his eye
• “Macy, where did you go these past two days? This time I want the truth.” he says, staring deep into my eyes.
