CHAPTER 260
"We kissed. Shawn and I, we... it shouldn't have happened. We got drunk and..."
Ethan stood frozen, barely processing the words spilling from Silver's trembling lips. The confession hit him hard like a ball to the chest.
But before he could react, the sound of the door creaking open echoed through the room. He kept his attention focused on Silver, the sorrow and guilt etched into her face felt so raw, so unguarded as she waited for him to accept the news of her cheating.
But then she lifted her eyes and for a moment he saw the look of pure shock crease her features as her lips muttered a name he never thought he'd hear so soon.
"Shawn," she whispered, her eyes widening with sudden shock.
Ethan blinked, confused for a second.
Shawn? His mind raced, thinking of Yasmin, then Skai, but it didn't make sense.
And yet, the name had already slipped from Silver's lips.
