Chapter 96

She lifted her gaze to meet mine ; she stared at me for a long while as if she was trying to figure out if I was being truthful or not .

Really ? She finally asked .

Yes , I told her .

Besides , your father would kill me if I overstepped .

She smirked and then shrugged .

He is very protective , she admitted .

I just dont get where Ethans head has been at lately .

Hes hard to read .

From what I remember , hes always been like that , I told her .

I wouldnt take it to heart though , Irene .

He loves you and wants to be with you .

He chose you .

She seemed to have relaxed because she finally smiled a genuine smile , and then she nodded .

The waitress gave us our meals and we talked mindlessly as we ate .

I felt a bit hollow since the conversation though ; I didnt like lying to her about my history with Ethan and the fact that Ethan loves her .

I knew he was only using her and if she found out about that , it would destroy her .

Once dinner concluded , Irene grabbed my arm before I could go out the front door .

Lets go out the back , she whispered , a devilish and humored look in her eyes .

What ? I asked her , raising my eyebrows .

Why ? Because the guards are out front and I just want a little longer without them , she said , glancing out the front door .

Lets take a walk .

I didnt argue with her ; I followed her out the back door and we walked through the dirty alley until we reached the street .

I could see Leroys car and the guards car a distance away near the front door of the restaurant .

Irene saw them too and we quickly hurried in the opposite direction .

As we ran , I couldnt help but laugh .

I felt like a child sneaking around her parents .

Irene was also chuckling , both of us gasping for breath and holding our stomachs as we laughed around the corner .

I leaned against the building we were near , sure that we were far enough away to rest for a minute .

We cant avoid them forever , I chuckled .

I know , she sighed .

I just wanted to have some fun I wrapped an arm through hers .

I get it , I assured her .

Maybe we can hang out again ? She perked up , a look of pure happiness in her eyes .

Really ? She asked .

I had to admit , I liked hanging out with her .

She was easy to be around and easy to love .

It was no wonder Ethan wanted her and not me … it was more than just her status ; it was who she was as a person .

She deserved better than Ethan .

ter 0096 nted to tell her the truth , I hated lying to her .

It didnt make me feel good and she was only going to hurt as a result .

Gavin was wrong for keeping this from her .

me on , she said, pulling me along with her .

Lets get back before they send a search party out for ɔdded but as we walked , I grew more apprehensive .

I wanted to tell her the truth despite what Gavin ght want .

But as I opened my mouth to speak , a white van pulled up beside us and a ton of men piled t of the car , surrounding us .

ey were masked strangers with sickly scents , and they were huge .

I got in my fighting stance knowing at I didnt stand a chance because there were so many of them and only one of me , he look of panic was clear on Irenes face .

She went to scream , but she immediately passed out when meone stuck a syringe into her neck .

Irene ! I yelled , trying to get to her , but I felt a sting in my neck and then arms wrapped around my mp body , just as everything went black .
