#Chapter 90: Sabotaged
Abby
At the mention of the email and the rare ingredients, Karl’s face turns pale. Seeing him like this
instantly fills me with an odd sense of dread as my mind begins to whirl with unending questions: why
did Adam send him that email? Why did Karl give him rare ingredients? When did Karl give him rare
ingredients?
“Karl, please tell me what’s wrong,” I say again, more urgently this time.
He takes a deep breath, then finally speaks. “I bought a ton of ingredients for Adam,” he admits, his
voice barely above a whisper. “Rare ones. For his restaurant.”
My heart is in my throat. “For Adam’s restaurant? But why?” I ask, genuinely confused.
“He asked, and I just figured I would help him out,” he murmured. But as he speaks, his eyes dart away
from me, indicating that he’s lying. I’ve always been able to tell when he’s pulling my leg.
“You’d better not be trying to lie to me right now,” I warn, my voice brittle. “I know you too well for that.”
His shoulders slump, and he looks down at his hands, gripping the edge of the bed with white knuckles.
“Alright, fine,” he finally says, his voice low. “It wasn’t that.”
“Then what was it?” I press, but deep down, judging from Karl’s appearance I’m not sure whether I
want to know the answer or not.
Karl hesitates, then takes another ragged breath as though trying to steady himself. “I gave the
ingredients to Adam to bribe him into… into breaking up with you.”
The room spins. My head is swimming with thoughts, feelings, questions. I can’t fathom why Karl would
do such a thing, and I jump up to my feet, my voice rising an octave. “You what? You bribed him to
break up with me? But why?”
“Because, Abby,” Karl’s voice is shaky, “I knew he was g ay, and that he wasn’t being honest with you.
The ingredients were a way to convince him to be just that: honest. To come clean about his
