Chapter 143: They Had Lied To Me

Chapter 143: They Had Lied To Me Angelia

My hand poised to knock froze, I hadn't expected Marshall to be here but that wasn't why I hesitated to let them know I was here. No, it was the anger in his voice that had given me a pause. "Answer me, damn it!" Marshall demanded.

Looking through the crack in the door, I could only just make out Marshall's back. What had he meant by Riccardo knowing about it? Knowing about what exactly? I didn't want to think the worst but I couldn't help it no matter how much I trusted Riccardo. He would have told me he had known about me being Marshall's student. And yet as confident as I was about the fact, there was still a part of me that was afraid I was wrong which was why I now found myself eavesdropping

instead of making my presence known.

"I am sorry," Riccardo said sincerely, his voice cracking slightly as he spoke.

"Fuck your sorry, they don't mean shit. Now tell me!" Marshall barked.

"You remember the private investigator I had hired to find Angelia for us?" Riccardo asked.

No, I took an unconscious step back, creating distance between me and whatever I was hearing.

"He found out she was a student at your university and he told me."

No, please, no. I shook my head as new tears filled my eyes.

"You fucking bastard." Marshall cursed his friend.

The last word was almost a whisper but for those who knew Riccardo and his childhood knew it would cut deeper than any other word. A sliver of me could still feel bad for him even while my heart was breaking for me.

"I should have told you and I swear to you, I didn't know she would be your student. We

thought..."

""We?" Marshall cut him off.

"Did Kingston know too?" He asked and Riccardo didn't respond back but he didn't need to, Marshall's reaction was answer enough. He laughed harshly.
