Chapter 32. Blackmailer

Eliana

A week had passed since the weird text. It still hadn’t left my mind even after everything Scott had said to reassure me. Honestly, I wasn’t scared about the world finding out about us, I was afraid of the consequences it might bring, what it may cost Scott.

There was a possibility that it wasn’t about us and there was a possibility that it was. As much as he tried to mask it, I could tell that he was worried the supposed secret was the truth about our relationship.

I wasn’t just consumed by fear, I was consumed by guilt as well. Scott wouldn’t have to worry about any of this if I hadn’t started all of this—if I hadn’t pursued him, hiding my identity. But if I was given the chance and power to fix things I’ll do the same thing but maybe I’ll make sure he wasn’t my dad’s friend… But then, how would we meet?

“What are you thinking about?” Scott asked.

“Nothing, nothing at all.” I lied. He circled his arm around me, tilting my face up.
