Chapter 105: Truth is Out

Moana

“Well then,” Michael said, striding into the room with confidence and brushing past me as though I wasn’t even there, “perhaps it’s time you think about what I said earlier.”

The room fell silent. Verona held her ground between Ethan and Edrick, but it was clear that Edrick’s fury was no longer directed toward his brother.

As I stood there, looking at all of them and feeling Kelly’s vindictive glare boring into the side of my head, I couldn’t help but wonder if Ethan, Kelly, and Michael were all working together somehow. Kelly and Michael I could see working together… But Ethan? He had done nothing thus far since I’d met him to make me think that he was anything but a good friend, aside from his more recent attempts to become more than that. But was that alone really enough reason to think that he was in cahoots with Kelly and Michael to get me away from Edrick? I didn’t want to believe it, but thinking about the way he looked before he saw me, the dark smirk on his face and the cunning look behind his eyes, made me wonder if I should have listened to Edrick all along when he said that his brother was up to no good.

More importantly, however, Michael wanted me gone — and I was certain that he would get his way tonight.

At least, I thought I was certain, but that certainty melted away when Edrick suddenly turned on his heel and strode over to me.

“Let’s go,” he said, taking me by the arm and shooting one last angry glare between Kelly, Ethan, and Michael. “We’re leaving.”

“Darling—” Verona called out, but it was too late. Edrick was already whisking me away, and I went willingly. Hot tears were beginning to prick at the backs of my eyes, and as he ushered me down the hallway and back down the stairs that led to the banquet hall, I was grateful for his strength to walk away from his father. I couldn’t let any of them see my tears; especially not Kelly and Michael.
