Chapter 116 Shane's Truths

• "Shane, you must have realized that she tricked you. Daisy does not do drugs." I say gently. He looks away from my gaze and I can just tell that he knows. The shame is written clearly on his face but he keeps his head high.
• "Yes, so I was a dumb kid desperate to get the love of a woman I believed I was in love with." He says bitterly. Now I am the one who looks away. There is a torrent of emotions in the air between us and I don't know what to say. I can't apologise again. It is futile. It would only make him mad.
• "Anyway, I got addicted quick. She supplied the drugs, I don't know where she got them from or how, but she never actually offered them to me, she just kept them around so they were easily available when I needed them. And I needed them a lot then. The relationship was eating into me. At some point, I realised Daisy didn't even like me. I asked her what she wanted with me if she didn't even like me and she just avoided the question. I was always having to be high to be around her. Then I became angry. I dumbly expected her to divorce you and end up with me, I threatened her that I was going to expose us. She got mad and said if I did, I would never get the chance to be with her again. That shut me up. I had gotten addicted to her as much as the drugs. But I was angry and I was vengeful, I was hurting and I wanted to hurt you." Shane pauses and drags in a deep breath. He doesn't sound bored or uninterested anymore. He is charged up, maintaining eye contact with me and talking fast.
