Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 47

She was utterly flabbergasted.

Whitney?

Was she not supposed to be in the room?

Why was she just sitting here, cool as a cucumber?

And, more importantly, whose heated moans were echoing from the lounge?

Monica’s lips twitched. She watched Whitney glance up at her with an icy smirk, but she could not stop in her tracks, not when Faith was already storming ahead to kick open the lounge door!

Inside, the dim lights barely illuminated the scene – Troy was drunkenly pinning two women on the couch, his shirt flung open, his lips hungrily moving over them.

One of the women seemed reluctant, playfully struggling in a mock protest.

The other, however, was all in, eagerly wrapping her arms around Troy’s neck and pressing her lips to his.

“You two sluts! How dare you seduce my brother! Whitney, get out here… Wait, where’s Whitney?” Faith’s fury exploded as she flipped the women’s faces, only to freeze in shock, “Roselyn? Monica, isn’t this your bestie, Roselyn? And Stella? Isn’t she that hotshot celebrity everyone’s talking about? This…”

Faith’s face flickered through a myriad of expressions before turning to Monica with a dark, vengeful glare, “Aren’t these your cheap friends? Oh, I get it. You were trying to frame Whitney, claiming she was coming onto my brother, but it turns out your two shameless besties are the ones in his bed!”

Faith lashed out, striking fiercely. Stella was quickest to flee, her face the picture of misfortune. She had been called over by Gunner, expecting some sort of affair, only to find herself locked in the moment she entered.

She did not even understand how things had escalated whether it was a natural disaster or man–made

chaos.

“It’s not me. I have no interest in Troy. I just happened to be here; I have a boyfriend! Monica, explain for me, please.” Stella’s complexion was ashen as she looked desperately at Monica, silently pleading.

Meanwhile, Monica was still rooted to the spot near the door, blindsided by the discovery of Roselyn and Stella
