Chapter 113

• I had a feeling and I chose to ignore it.
• “What I’m saying, sweetie, is that as his late wife’s best friend, of all people I should have known better. I heard all the red flags from Mira and I still fell into his bed after she died. It’s embarrassing truly, to have to admit that I slept with my late best friend’s husband. Anyway, I would have been sick to my stomach had I not warned you. I do hope you understand this is coming from a good place.” She reaches her hand out and grabs mine, squeezing it before sliding off my desk and sashaying out of my room with a small toss of her hand in the air.
• There has to be a misunderstanding here. Before I go into a full-blown panic, I take a few deep breaths and grab my things to head over to Weston’s and ask him to his face about this. I shut and lock my classroom door, taking the back stairs so that I don’t risk running into Natalie again. I slip out the back of the school, a sleek black Range Rover catching my gaze. Normally, I wouldn’t think twice about a luxury vehicle outside the school considering the type of school it is but rarely are they ever parked in the alley behind the school.
