And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Convincing Hale

Walking back into the suite we were staying in, I headed straight for my room. I didn’t want to see anyone, and the last thing! wanted to do was talk. My head was a swirling mess of confusion over what had happened.

“Ivy!” Damian’s voice called out as the sound of the front door opened. “Ivy??”

“Will you shut the fuck up?” James snapped as the sound of his bedroom door opened.

“Where is she?” Damian replied, and as I sat in my room, I couldn’t help but sigh.

I had gone out to find Damian and Hale to bring them both home and, instead, I was met with chaos and heartache. Damian and Hale had both been in the arms of other women, and my heart clenched at the fact they didn’t seem to care for me.

 

As tears streamed down my face, I quickly wiped them away only to have my bedroom door thrown open, and Damian’s dark eyes staring down at me.

“Ivy, please let me explain”

“No,” I snapped, shaking my head. “Your actions spoke louder than words, and I don’t think there is anything for you to say to change my mind.”

The sobs I fought to hold back tore at me. I had given myself to him, and was falling in love with the idea of all of them being mine, and yet he did this to me.

“Stop it,” he growled. “You’re going to listen to me. That was all an act. I had to make her think things were okay with us so that I could find Hale. Otherwise, we would never have found them.”

Stunned by his confession, I couldn’t help but feel that there were things he was leaving out.

“Did you kiss her?” I asked him.

“What?” He was taken aback by my question, but at the same time, I had to know

*Did. You. Kiss. Her?”

Laughter escaped him as he shook his head, “I don’t see how that is relevant.”

It was clear, though, that the answer to my question was yes. “So you did. Guess you will do anything to stay undercover then. Especially since you and she have a very close history.”
