My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I said without so much as a thought, "You won't do something like that!"

He was slightly surprised, then raised his eyebrows at me. "Someone's confident about this!"

"Sierra was annoying, but she didn't deserve this. Besides, the company is keeping you busy. You wouldn't be interested in this little celebrity. This was obviously a strike of revenge. You're not that kind of person." Back then, I never wanted to take Valerie's life, nor would I want the same for Sierra.

He paused slightly, then drew me into his arms and put his chin on top of my head as he said in a low voice, "You think so highly of me. I'm flattered."

I didn't joke around with him. I felt something was amiss and said, "The Moore Family wouldn't do that either. Let's not talk about Valerie. Even though Pedro was in the shady business for years, he wouldn't take another's life."

He nodded. Lowering his voice, he said, "Stop thinking about it and just focus on preparing for your exam."
