CHAPTER 65

  I WAS surprised when Uncle, Ezra’s Dad, contacted me the day before her birthday and wedding ceremony to be held. He wanted me to come over to their house tomorrow and pretend to be Ezra’s makeup artist.

  “You knew I was her accomplice when she escaped, Uncle. Don’t you think I’d let her out and repeat the same thing again? You knew I’d side with her no matter what. But of all people, why are you taking me as her assistant at her wedding? Why are you entrusting her to me? Do you have a better plan in mind?” I asked him all those questions because I was in great perplexity, yet he didn’t answer any of them.

  “We will handle everything, Kiana. You’ll also find out soon but for now, all you have to do is be by our daughter’s side. Don’t let Raiko get close to her,” he reminded me. “I’m aware of how important Ezra is to you. You’re her only best friend and I’m sure you won’t fail me. You’ll protect her, won’t you?”
