Chapter 654

"Whose secret?" I asked, keeping my tone casual.

Demi glanced at me, her lips parting like she wanted to spill, but something held her back.

Then I remembered what she'd said about it possibly costing her life. Raising a hand, I stopped her. "You don't have to tell me. I'll figure it out myself."

"Keira, don't. You don't need to dig into this, and you definitely don't need to get involved in my mess anymore," she said, her voice tinged with guilt. "You've already done enough-helping me pay off all that debt. I'm grateful, okay? That's enough." I studied her, my mind running wild with guesses about the "secret" she was hiding.

"I'll pay you back. Bit by bit," she said quietly, avoiding my gaze.

We both knew the truth. With the way she was earning now, it would take her a decade-probably longer-to pay back the $500,000 I'd lent her.

"You don't have to worry about that," I said firmly. "All I care about is you being safe and okay."

But Demi just shook her head. She was set on repaying me.
