章 36: Chapter 36: A Partner in Crime

I stumbled back home, my mind racing with thoughts on how to save myself and my relationship. As I thought about it, only one person came to mind, but I didn’t want to go to her. I knew she was a compulsive liar that only did things when it benefited her.

What leverage could I hold over her? The only thing I could possibly use was Declan. With that, I made the decision to call Cassandra.

A voice in my head mocked me as I made the choice, but I had to try. I knew I was grasping at thin threads, but I couldn’t give up, not now. She was my last hope, the only person right now that could help me put a stop to this.

The adrenaline was pumping through my veins as I dialed her number. I could feel my heart beating faster and faster with each ring, my palms starting to sweat as I waited for her to answer.

Maybe this wasn’t a good idea, there was no way I could ask Cassandra of all people for help.

But before I could change my mind, she picked up on the third ring.
