In The City

Leilani

My eyes strayed down to look at my phone again as I was still so fucking tense from anxiety. My mind was all over the place, wondering if any of this was going to turn out well. I mean, anything could so easily go wrong and there would be no hiding the truth anymore.

I needed something to distract me from my chaotic thoughts, so I shifted my eyes to rest on Adonis by the side. He looked deep in thought, staring straight ahead, with a slowly intensifying look in his eyes like he was planning a murder.

My eyebrows furrowed.

"Are you alright?" I found myself asking, subconsciously leaning closer towards him.

He glanced at me, wetting his bottom lip softly. My lashes fluttered as my eyes instinctively followed the movement. "Jade called. She said it was Cole who drugged the food at her party." His deep voice sounded flat.
