Chapter 105 Maggie Got Alex

• "What was all that about?" Maggie asks me as we ride down the elevator. I am finding it hard to control my breathing. It comes out of me in short ragged gasps. I am worked up beyond what I thought possible. And I don't know why. But that is not entirely true. I do know why. I am worried about Penny and what she plans to do with Tristan against me. I also am worried about her safety with him and her senseless insistence on sticking with him despite the fact that it puts her life and safety in jeopardy. It is now very obvious that their relationship was never healthy. Abuse of this kind has always been the norm between them, Penny has just been really good at covering it up.
• "Penny knows about Zane and I." I say quietly. I can't meet Maggie's soft eyes. I can't handle the warmth and lack of judgement I will see there. I am not feeling very positive about my relationship with Zane right now. Not after seeing it through Penny's twisted perspective. Not after it has become a weapon to be wielded against me. Constantly. First Daisy. Now Penny.
• "Shit." Maggie says.
