Chapter 23

Dinner was.... awkward.

To say Elizabeth was stunned was an understatement. It's been thirty minutes since the announcement and she hasn't said a word. I don't even think she even blinked.

"So... How was college?"

Nobody moved at that question. Apparently Casper knew nothing about the breaking news that's been broadcasted around the country. The murder of the beloved heir to Forxe's weaponries.

"College is good." The smile on my face faltered at the depressing reminder. Noah's death combined with Jacob's disappearance put everyone on the edge. Word about what happened to me at the party got out and now people are blaming me or finding a way to link me to the crimes assuming I was the root of it all.
