116 UNYIELDING RESENTMENT

ARIEL’S POV

Andre was still standing behind me and Mason, expecting an answer from the both of us, I’d say. He didn’t have knowledge of our scheme, and I wasn’t planning to tell him. Everything will be revealed once the plan has been carried out. I was just picturing how things would be after that.

“So, can the both of you please tell me this plan you’re talking about?” Andre asked, his eyes fixing on the both of us. He would glance at Mason, and then he’d do the same to me.

Andre looked at him for a moment, and then he shook his head as he said, “No, I wasn’t.”
