Soren
I was royally fucked.
The moment Rowan walked out of my office, his words hit me square in the chest. My mind spun, trying to process what he had just told me. He took care of the shipment? He saved me?
That was supposed to be Leon.
I grabbed my phone and dialed him.
No answer.
"Fuck."
I gritted my teeth, my fingers tightening around the phone. Was Rowan lying? Was he just trying to make me feel guilty, trying to manipulate me into forgiving him?
But why would he lie about something like that?
I started dialing Leon again but hesitated. If Rowan was telling the truth, that meant Leon had deceived me. But why? What the fuck did he have to gain by making me think it was him?
I shook my head. No. Rowan had to be lying. There was no way he would have even known about the shipment, it wasn't an enforcer's job to handle that kind of thing. He had to be pulling my leg.
