107 Truths and Lies Part 2

Amanda stared at me, and I could see a haunted look in her eyes. Something that spoke of hidden pain.

It had always been there, but I was too occupied to question her about it, and I felt my hurt surpassed whatever inner turmoil she battling with, but here it was again.

The haunted look had resurfaced while deep in a conversation about her true intentions and the life her actions had forced me to live. The haunted expression reared its head, and she looked broken. Amanda sighed after taking a deep breath and looked at me.

How you helped him stage the attack that brought Volkov’s men on us, how you helped feed him information that wrecked and divided the east. Information that made people doubt my leadership. How you tried to help him take over the east again,” I said, and her eyes widened, tears falling from her eyes.

“Leo, I will never do that to you.” She said with fear in her eyes.
