Scarlett met my eyes, and in that moment, I saw real fear there. “Because the man hurting me—the one Jace is hell-bent on destroying—isn’t just dangerous. He’s Jace’s best friend. And if Jace finds out the truth, everything could burn.”
The color drained from my face as her words sank in.
Before I could respond, Scarlett’s phone lit up. She glanced down, and I watched her entire body freeze.
“What is it?” I asked.
She turned the phone toward me, her hand trembling. It was a text from Jace:
Just got some shocking information. We need to talk. Now.
Scarlett’s eyes met mine, wide with panic. “I think he just found out.”
As she rushed out, I couldn’t help wondering what secrets remained untold. And I had no idea if Scarlett or Jace would make it out unscathed.
