Chapter Nineteen: Two Faced,

Logan

There were no words. No words at all. None to explain the onslaught of emotions, rushing so quickly through my head that maybe fainting was a better option. Anything was a better option compared to sitting in a room with her.

Etta.

The name alone seemed like it was haunting me, teasing me.

Etta.

And the fact that Halia knew Etta, that this was her best friend visiting from boarding school; what lies has Halia told me. One thing was for sure: they were connected in some way to everything that has happened to me for the past two years.

I associated my ex-girlfriend with three L's: Lies, loss, liquidation. I know, the last L is strange. Liquidation is a synonym for selling, and yes, Etta sold two things. She sold my heart, and sold my father's.

Because the reason why Etta ruined my life was quite simple. Etta had an affair with my dad. And while doing so, she dated me. And also
stole money from my family.

I could never look at my father the same. Not after this.

Now, I'm looking at Etta, and she's looking at me. And all I want to do is kill her.
