SECRETS UNFOLDED-1

BRIA

"Alexander King murdered both of your parents, Bria Maxwell."

Those words fell on my ears like molten iron burning my insides painfully. I stunned at hearing it. Hayden's father... killed my parents?!

I replayed those words again and again in my mind, but my heart was not ready to accept it. I glanced at Benji's panicked face and Paulo's head hanging in shame through my teary eyes, but I couldn't make me look at the very person in question. I wanted it to be a lie, but I also knew that if I saw in his eyes, I would only discover the bitter, cruel truth. I felt like someone has sucked the life out of me as I stood there immobile.

"Shocked? There's more sweetheart" Mancini's eyes glinted with ugly satisfaction. "Everyone knew about this including your dear Gabriel Wilson."

I sucked a breath, trying to control my emotions.
