Chapter 159

The next morning, I reach over and grab my cell phone off of the nightstand the moment I wake up, dying to see if Ivan texted me back. It’s not my burner phone, or my old cell phone which Kent took, but instead my Kent–approved cellphone, which I’m sure he monitors. But whatever- let him look. This is all part of his big

plan, anyway.

I bite my lip, trying not to smile when I see that I have a message waiting. Eagerly, I click on it.

Ivan: So, has he finally let you out of your cage, Fay? Of course I

want to see you. Pick you up at 8.

emotions.

in this text, quite present if unnamed. Kent. It’s not just me and

Ivan’s secret liaison anymore.
