Chapter 38 I Got Lonely

• Erica's POV
• I feel numb. Out of all of the things that I expected to hear about my parents; I never expected to hear that they were thieves. It just doesn't add up. My parents were always extremely frugal while I was growing up. If they were embezzling money we would have had more money.
• Chris holds me while my tears continue to fall. I am grateful that he doesn't let go. The tingles from the mate bond are soothing. I cannot imagine going through this without them by my side. I am just so happy that they believe me and want to help me uncover the truth.
