Chapter 31. I Warned You

My heart was pounding so hard, I feared Dean could hear it.

At this rate, I would develop some type of heart problems. Even while living with my aunt, I was not so on edge. 

“Olivia!" Dean barked now, startling me. “I’ll ask you one more time.” He walked closer, his shoes creating a clop-clop sound that was background music for my dancing anxiety. 

“Who was here?”

“Why ask me when you can check your security footage?” I asked nonchalantly, walked to the bed and took a seat, even though my thighs were quivering.

I was betting on my bluff to discourage him, but it didn’t. 

He walked back to the ottoman and picked up his laptop.

My heart was racing so much now I had to start exhaling through my mouth as discretely as possible.

My palms sweated, but I knew I could not rub them. That would be a dead giveaway. 

His fingers flew on the keyboard for a couple of seconds, and then he stared at the screen, his eyes narrowing.
